UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES WORMUTH, OF LITTLE FALLS, ,NEW YORK.
Door: AND GATE LATCH.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 292,727, dated January 29, 1884.
Application filed November 8, 1883. (Mode1.)
T0 ail whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, OHARLEs WORMUTH, of Little Falls, in the county of Herkimer and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Latch, of which'the following isa full, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to. provide a new and improved latch which is simple in construction, strong and durable, and which can be used'to hold a door or gate opened or closed.
The invention consists in certain improvements in that class of latches which are provided with reversely-hooked ends for engaging catches on the door or gate frame and the wall, respectively, as will be hereinafter fully described, and specifically set forth in the claim.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of referenceindicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a plan of my improved latch, showing it secured in a door, part of thelatch and the door being shown in section. Fig. 2 is a face View of the casing containing the latch-spring, parts being shown in sectionon line as as, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is asectional planview of the door, showing it opened.
A plate, A, is provided at one end with a fork, B, and between the prongs of the said E, to which the plate A is fastened.
- ing from thefree edge of the door.
fork a lever, G, is pivoted, which passes through a notch, D, in the edges of the door The lever 0 is provided at each end with a fingerplate, F, and with a prong, G or G, forming a shoulder, the hook-prong G on the end of the lever Q to the inside of the door projecting toward the free edge of the door, and the prong G on the outer end of the lever project- A casing, J is secured on the plate E, and in the said casing one end of a spring, H, is fastened, the other end of which is fastened to the lever C at a point a short distance in front ofthat is, toward the outside from thefront ofthelever 0, thus pressing the inner end of the lever 0 against the jamb or door-frame K, on which a shouldered catch, L, is fastened, which has one end beveled from the outer toward the inner surface of the door-frame. On the wall M of the building a catch or bevel-headed stud, N, is secured. If the door is closed, the beveled end of the prong G on the inner end of the latch-lever 0 slides on the beveled end of the latch L until the oifset formed by the prong G has passed the offset formed on the latch L. The spring H then snaps the latch toward the jamb or door-post, and thus locks the door in place. If the door is to be opened, the inner end of the lever G is moved in the direction'of the arrow a, or the outer end is moved in the inverse direction of the arrow.
If the door is swung open, the outer prong, G, of the lever O catches on thehead-stud or catch N 011 the wall of the building, thus holding the door open. The latch is fastened to the door by the same screws that secure the springcasing. The latch can be applied on a right or left hand swinging door. I
I am aware that it is not new, broadly, to provide a door, shutter, or gate with a pivoted r'eversely-hooked latch for engaging a catch on the door, window, or gate frame and cured, said spring being secured at its other end to the latch, in combination with the catches LN on the door-post and wall, respectively.
CHARLES WVORMUTH.
