Huntsville, Ala.
Filed July 31, 1963, Ser. No. 299,124 7' Claims. (til. 16-126) (Granted under Title 35, US. Qode (I952), sec. 266) The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for govenmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
This invention relates to a latching means for panels, doors, drawers, and the like and more particular to a bandle which includes a built-in mechanism for locking the panel, door, or drawer in position.
In large electronic chassis constructions, drawers carrying electronic components are fiitted into spaces in a cabinet so they may be easily pulled out from the cabinet to reveal the electronic components for repair, replacement, or inspection purposes. The drawers usually have a face panel which abuts the cabinet surface about the cabinet opening when the drawer is fully inserted into the cabinet. Also, such electronic chassis constructions are often fitted with panels or doors which cover cabinet openings and abuts the cabinet surface about the opening to provide easy access to the electronic gear within the chassis when desired.
Heretofore, these panels and drawers have usually been secured to the cabinet by conventional screw and nut arrangements. Thus, considerable time was entailed to remove or secure the cabinets panels and drawers and often the nut or perhaps the screw would be accidentally dropped into the electrical equipment to cause electrical shorts.
Other mechanical means were utilized, occasionally, to hold the panel or drawer to the cabinet, but they usually held only at one point per panel side. Thus, a simplified means for securely holding a panel or a drawer to a cabinet which also provided for an easy manner to remove the panel or drawer has existed for a long period of time.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a latching mechanism for panels and drawer face panels to securely hold the panels and drawer face panels to the cabinet and yet still provide for easy removability.
Another object is to provided a combined handle and latching means for panels, drawers, and the like, which is simple in design and trouble-free in operation.
Other and further objects, uses, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent as the description proceeds.
The invention is drawn to a channel-shape handle having its two end portions substantially perpendicular to its middle portion. The two end portions extend through elongated slots adjacent a side edge of a panel or drawer face panel and each end portion is pivotally secured to a structural member which projects from the backside of the panel.
Adjacent each pivoted end of the handle is a ramp latch for engaging the inner corner of the cabinet edge which defines the cabinet opening. A spring extends between the structural member attached to the backside of the panel and each handle end portion to bias the handle toward the cabinet edge forming the opening. The ramp latch extends behind the face of the cabinet and, thus, prevents the panel from being removed. No modification or attachments need be made to the cabinet.
When the handle is pivoted toward the panels center, the ramp latch is pivoted away from cabinets edge so that by pulling back on the handle the panel will be removed from the cabinet to reveal the opening.
It is apparent that by utilizing two such handles, a panel or drawer face panel is securely fastened to the cabinet by locking action of the ramp latch and also easil released by manually pivoting the handles toward the panel center at the same time.
This will be more readily understood by the following detailed description when taken together with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a panel having two latching handles of the present invention installed thereon.
FIGURE 2 is a detailed perspective view of one of the latching handles shown in FIGURE 1, portions of the panel removed for clarity.
FIGURE 3 is a perspective view showing the latching handles of the present invention installed on the face panel of a drawer of a cabinet.
FIGURE 4 is an elevational cross-sectional view showing the panel of FIGURE 1 installed within the opening of a cabinet, with phantom lines indicating the unlatched position of the handles.
Referring now to FIGURE 1 which shows a rectangular cabinet panel ll having two self-latching handles 13 of the present invention mounted thereon adjacent two opposed side edges. The handle 13 as shown is channel shaped and comprises two identical end portions 15 substantially perpendicular to its middle portion 17. Each end portion 15 extends through one elongated slot 19 of a pair of elongated slots aligned and evenly spaced from a side edge of the panel 11.
As shown best in FIGURES 2 and 4, each handle end portion 15 is slotted or bifurcated to pivotally receive a connecting lug 21 at is extremity. A dowel pin 23 pivotally secures the bifurcated portion of the handle end portion 15 to the lug 2.1.
The lug 21 is supported by a rib 25 which projects from the backside of the panel 11. The lug 25 has a threaded bolt member 27 projecting from its base through a hole in the rib 25 by which a nut 30 securely tightens the lug 21 to the rib 25.
A ramp latch 29 is also positioned between the bifurcated parts of the handle 13 and is securely held therein by a pair of fasteners 31. The ramp latch 29 slopes from the outer surface of the bifurcated portion of the handle 13 into an inside corner 33 defining an obtuse angle. The bottom surface 35 of the inside corner having a sloping characteristic to prevent the corner from jamming against the cabinet edge 37 (FIGURE 4) of the cabinet 38 when the handles 13 are pivoted as described hereinafter.
A leaf spring 39 has a flat portion 41 extending between the base of the lug 21 and rib 25 as shown in FIGURES 2 and 4. The lug bolt extends through the fiat portion 41 to securely anchor the spring 39 in position. The spring 39 extends outwardly from the rib 25 and its flat portion 41 and contacts the handle end portion 15. Thus, it is apparent the spring 39 will bias the handle 13 outwardly in a pivoting movement about the dowel pin 23.
The slots 19 within the panel are elongated to permit a slight rotation of the handle 13 about its pivot. This elongation is such that the handle 13 may pivot inwardly toward the panel center at an angle at least equal to the angle the sloping surface 43 of the ramp latch 29 makes with the center line of the handle end portion 15. This are angle in most applications will range from 7 to 15 degrees.
The handles 13 are shown mounted on the face panel 51 of a drawer 53 for a cabinet 57 in FIGURE 3. In this embodiment the sides 55 of the drawer 53 serve the same purpose as the ribs 25 of FIGURE 1.
In operation, an individual will grasp each handle 13 and pivot them toward the panel center, as shown by the phantom lines of FIGURE 4, so that the ramp sneaess latches 29 will be removed from the cabinet edge 3'7 forming the opening 48. The outer surface of the ramp latch 43 will be substantially parallel and spaced from the cabinet edge 37 when the handle 13 is pivoted to its opposed edges of the panel 11, an individual may apply dles 13' are once again grasped and pivoted toward the center the arc distance permitted by the elongated slots 19, and the panel ll is moved over the opening 48 with the projecting ribs 25 (or drawer sides, bottom, or top),
an arc angle at least equal to the angle the sloping edge surface of said ramp latch makes with the center line of said handle. 3.'In a panel adapted to cover a cabinet opening, the improvement, comprising:
