Wagner Manufacturing Company, Milwaukee, Wis., a corporation of Wisconsin Filed May 14, '1962, Ser. No. 194,396 '15 Claims. (Cl. '7d-150) This invention relates to door latches and particularly latches for temporary type doors such as screen and storm doors. i
Handles for doors of this type are generally latched on the inside and interconnected through a solid connection so that they can be opened by a push yor pull motion from the inside or outside of the door. A l-ock is provided on the inside handle which can be locked and released only from the inside. When excessive force is applied to the outside handle, there is a tendency through the solid connection between the inside and outside handles to damage the handle and the lock.
The principal object of this invention is to provide a latch and lock for a temporary type door which overcornes these objections. Another object of this invention is to provide a latch that can be sold as a do-it-yourself type item.
A further object is to provide a latch and lock that is substantially tamper-proof.
A still further object is to provide a latch and lock arrangement that cannot be overstressed.
These objects are accomplished by interconnecting the inside and outside handles by means of a loop type Wire spring. The spring has its free ends bent to engage a manually rotatable lock cylinder in the inside handle and the looped end encircles a freely movable pin in the base for the outside handle. The pin is retained in the base by a semi-cylindrical pin retainer that cannot be removed from the outside handle when the latch is locked. The manually rotatable lock cylinder is rotated in the inside handle to lock the latch and is axially movable to relieve any stress on the spring link when the inside handle is pushed and the outside handle is prevented from moving. The latch can be adapted to be locked from the outside by mounting a key lock cylinder Within the outside handle which engages the lpin in the looped end of the wire spring. Rotary motion of the key lock cylinder is transferred to the manually rotatable cylinder by the spring. The latch and lock can then be locked and unlocked from both the inside and outside of the door.
Other objects and advantages will be pointed out in or be apparent from the speciiication and claims, as will obvious modilications of the two embodiments shown in the drawings in which:

FIG. 15 is a view of the adaptor.
Referring speciiically to the drawings, the handle and lock arrangement contemplated herein includes an inside base 10 and an outside base 12 interconnected through door 14 by bolts 16 mounted from the inside of the door. An inside or push handle 18 is pivoted on pin 20 in the inside base and has a front cam surface 21 which acts against spring biased pin 22 mounted in bracket 24 on door frame 26 when the door is closed and a catch surface 28 which engages the pin to hold the door closed.
A manually rotatable lock cylinder 30 is inserted into hole 32 in the inside handle with actuator tab 36 aligned with the outer surface of the handle. The tab is contoured to form a continuation of the handle when in the unlocked position and is used to rotate the cylinder lto the locked position. An inside lock tab 34 is provided at the inner end of the lock cylinder and engages slot 35 in the inside base member when the cylinder is rotated to the locked position. The lock cylinder is inserted into the push handle by aligning the lock tab with groove 38 and inserting the cylinder through the handle until it engages edge 40 in the push handle.
The push handle is connected to an outside or pull handle 42 pivoted on pin 44 in the outside base member by means of a spring link 46 that extends through holes 48 in the door. The free ends 50 of the spring link are aligned within slot 52 in the cylinder and are bent to engage groove 55 in the cylinder. With this arrangement'the spring link cannot be pulled axially out of the cylinder but can be rotated around surface 54 and removed from the cylinder. Normally the spring link will be permanently mounted in the cylinder by swedging the inside surfaces of the slot, generally shown at 56, against the free ends of the spring.
The looped end 58 of the spring link extends into hole 6i) in the pull handle and is held therein by dropping pin 62 into the loop. A web 64 is provided on the end of the hole to prevent the pin from being pulled out of the hole. The pin is dropped into the loop through a semi-circular opening in the end of the hole in the push handle and is retained in the handle by a pin retainer 68 mounted on the handle by screw 70. A leaf spring 72 (FIG. ll) which is bent at its ends to snap into grooves 74 in the sides of the handle could also be used to hold the pin in position if desired. The pin is therefore free to rotate to a lock position with the spring link when the manually rotatable cylinder is rotated to a locked position but cannot be moved axially in the hole in the handle.
The spring link provides the bias for holding and returning the handles to the initial or at rest position. As seen in comparing FIGS. 2 and 5, the spring link is normally bent slightly on contoured surface 76 to provide a slight return force on the handles. When the handles are moved to open the door, the bend in the spring will increase thereby increasing the return force on the handles. Surface 76 relieves the bending force on the spring so that it will not be overstressed when the handles are pushed to a fully open position.
Referring to FIG. 6, if the outside handle should be prevented from rotating for any reason, depressing of the push handle will not overstress the spring link since the manually rotatable cylinder is free to move axially in the hole inthe push handle.
If the latch and lock is to be used without a lock, a plug 7S is supplied which tits loosely in groove 80 on the outer end of hole 60. The plug is set rigidly in position by striking the outer domed surface of the plug with a hammer or blunt instrument which will cause the plug to expand and seat in the groove. If an outside lock is to be used (FIGS. 12-15), a lock plug adaptor 82 is inserted into the hole in the outside handle until pin 62 is aligned in groove 84 in the adaptor. A conventional lock cylinder 86 is inserted into the hole in the push handle with pin 96 inserted into arcuate slot 98 in the adaptor and spring biased disc 88 seated on surface 90 in the handle. The normal lock tabs 92 are aligned in grooves 94 and are drawn into the lock cylinder when a key is inserted into the lock for rotating the lock in the handle.
The motion of the lock cylinder is transferred to the adaptor by pin 96 which engages the ends of the arcuate slot 98 to rotate the pin and spring link. Rotation of the spring link will also rotate the manually rotatable cylinder locking the push handle to the hase. The push handle can be released from the inside base by rotating either one of the cylinders. Since the lock cylinder is locked in position when the key is removed, the arcuate slot inthe adaptor is made long enough to allow the adaptor 'to rotate freely with respect to the lock cylinder when the spring link is rotated. If this were not provided for, the spring link would return the lock cylinder to the neutral position whenever it was rotated by the manually rotatable lock cylinder.
The outside lock assembly is completely tamper-proof. The pin retainer which is held in position by an exposed screw is provided with semi-cylindrical sections 100 which engage the edges of recess 102 in the outside base when the push handle is locked in the neutral position. If the latch is locked it will be impossible to remove the pin retainer from the handle. The same relationship is also provided by the spring type retainer of FIG. 11. A detent action is built into the manual lock cylinder by providing bead 104 in the hole in the push handle and grooves 166 in the manual lock cylinder. A deni'te click feeling will occur when the cylinder is turned in either direction thereby defining the limits of motion in both directions.
In assembling the latch and lock device the push and pull handles generally are pivotally mounted on 4the bases at the factory. The bases are mounted on the door by inserting screw bolts 16 through holes in the inside base and into threaded holes 114 in the outside base. The manually rotatable lock cylinder with the spring link mounted therein is then inserted into the push handle with the looped end of the spring link passing through the door and into the pull handle. The spring link pin is dropped into the loop at the end of the spring link behind web 64 in the push handle to hold the spring link in position. The spring retainer is mounted on the pull handle to hold the pin in position for free rotation within the handle. Depending on whether an outside lock is to be used on the door or not, the hole in the handle is then closed by either the plug or the lock cylinder arrangement.
Although only two embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modilications may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention or from the scope of the appended claims.
