  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentary front view indicating the rela-' tionship between a main engaging part and an auxiliary engaging part in a door locking device of prior design.
  • FIG. 7 is a fragmentary vertical section, showing an undesirable state of engagement when the device shown in FIG. 6 is subjected to a load in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
  • reference character A designates a door-lock according to the invention attached to a side panel C (FIG. 3)
  • B designates a striker, which being secured to a door-post D (FIG. 3), keeps the door in a closed state when engaged with the door-lock A and includes a base plate B secured to the post D and a locking ring B, engageable with the lock A.
  • the door-lock consists principally of a cover plate 7, a main body 1 and base plate 6 and is fixed to a side panel of said door as a unit by fixing means such as bolts.
  • the body 1 is formed from synthetic resin, having depressions la, lb, 1c, 1d and Is, one of which 1d is elongated in a horizontal direction (from right to left as viewed in FIG. I) at a position spaced appropriately downwards from the turning axis of a latch 2 (to be described below), and opens to the left as viewed in FIG. 1), so that the locking ring B of the striker is permitted to enter into or move out of this depression.
  • FIG. 3 in the cover plate 7 and in the side panel C, there are provided slots such as 7a of similar shapes as the depression 1d for the entrance and extraction of the striker into and out of the locking ring 3,.
  • a pin (pivot) 2a (FIG. 1), forming the turning axis of the latch 2, is pivotably supported in the depression 1e at the middle part of the body 1, i.e., the latch 2 is pivoted in this depression 1e of the body 1 turnably about the pin 2a.
  • an open-ended slot 2b which is shaped to engage with the ring B and to be turned by the latter into positions of safety engagement and full engagement, when the leading side of the locking ring B (of the striker), enters into the depression 1d through the slot 7a of the cover plate 7 and a slot C, of the side panel C when the door is closed and to be forced by the ring B to turn in the opposite direction when the door is opened.
  • this slot 2b has its opening aligned with the depression 1d of body 1 and its bottom against the center of the pin 2a, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the latch 2 is provided with a pin 4, which is being urged to turn clockwise about the pin 2a by a coiled compression spring 5 located in the depression 1c of arcuate shape and arranged between the pin 4 and the bottom of this depression lc.
  • a locking detent 3 is snugly and rotatably received and has a crescent (semi-circular) cross section defined by a part of circular wall 3a concentric with the axis of rotation of the detent 3 and a vertical wall 3b.
  • the circular or arcuate wall 30 is adapted to engage selectively with a first tooth 2c (for safety engagement) or a second tooth 2d (for full engagement) formed on the periphery of the latch 2, with these teeth 2c and 2d being defined by a convex surface opposite the surface of the circular wall 30, a concave surface having a radius of curvature greater than that of the wall 30, or a flat plane.
  • the second tooth 2d is formed at the counterclockwise side (as seen in FIG. 1) of the open end of slot 2b, while the first tooth 2c is formed in the periphery of the latch 2 at a point forward counterclockwise from that of the tooth 2d.
  • the periphery of the latch 2 at the counterclockwise side of the first tooth 20, through a certain distance starting from the latter, is formed into a inclined slope 2e, which is suitable for engaging the vertical wall 3b of the detent 3 so as to turn the same in the clockwise direction, and a peripheral part 2f between the tooth 2c and the tooth 2d is also inclined in the same way.
  • An axially projecting pin 3c (FIG. 3) is pivotably supported by the base plate 6 of the doorlock, with the pin 30 at its free end being fixed to the middle part of an open plate 8. Accordingly, the locking detent 3 is pivotably supported by fitting with the base plate 6 and with the aforesaid cylindrical depression 1b, while the detent 3 and the open plate 8 are caused to move unitarily.
  • FIG. 4 shows the unlocked state, i.e., the state in which the release button (not shown in the drawings) is pushed and the door is permitted to be opened by being pulled in the opening direction.
  • a generally T-shaped openlever 12 is, at its middle part, pivotably secured to the base plate 6 by means of a pin 13.
  • the lever 12 has a first arm 12a at its left side.
  • the free end of the arm 12a has a connecting lever 15 pivoted thereto by means of a pin 14.
  • the lever 12 also has a second arm 12b at its right side, which extends through a slot 6b formed in a vertical plane 6a bent into the front side (the nearer side as viewed in the drawing) of the base plate 6, with the purpose of this slot 6b being to limit the motion of the lever 12.
  • the lever 12 further, has an upward extending arm 120, which is related to the action of the release button when the latter is pushed in from outside to open the door.
  • a spring 23 which urges the lever 12 to turn clockwise about the pin 13.
  • a locking plate 16 is pivotably secured at its middle part, the lower part (in the drawings) of by the pin 30, and at the upper side (viewers side of FIG. 4) of the plate 16, and T shaped open plate 8 is fixed to the pin 30.
  • the locking plate 16 at its right end 160 extends through a slot 60 formed in the vertical plane 60, with the slot 60 serving to limit the swinging motion of the plate 16 about the pin 3c.
  • a hole 16b which is to be connected with an inside locking member, such as an inside push knob, (not shown in the drawings), which serves to keeps the door in the locked position, i.e., the position in which the door cannot be opened by pushing in the open button or by pulling the door in opening direction.
  • an inside locking member such as an inside push knob
  • a hole 16c which is to be connected to a member (not shown in the drawings) operated by the action of a key.
  • the plate 16 has an arm 16d, which extends upwardly from between the hole 16c and the pin 30 and has a pin 20 fixed thereto.
  • a hole 16e between the hole 16b and the pin 30, and, between the hole 16c and a hole 6h formed in the base plate 6, there is installed a turn-over spring 24.
  • a tension spring 19 is provided between a hole 8a formed in the open plate 8 and a spring anchor 6d formed in the base plate 6 and has the function of urging the plate 8 in the clockwise direction, while a stopper 6g provided on the base plate 6 is in engagement with the first (lower) arm 8b of the plate 8, for limiting the clockwise turning of the latter.
  • the second arm of the open plate 8 which extends from the plate to the left in FIG. 4, is bent toward the viewer's side (in FIG. 4) at its left end. Owing to such arrangement, when the open-lever 12 turns in the counterclockwise direction, and the connecting lever 15 is moved downward as viewed in the drawing, the second arm 8c is engaged with the lower end of the lever 15, causing the open plate 8 to turn in the counterclockwise direction about the pin 30.
  • a top end 8d of the open plate 8 extends to a height at which the end 8d can engage the hook shaped part 15a of the connecting lever 15 and is bent at a right angle toward the viewers side of the drawing (see FIG. 3). As shown in FIG. 3, in
  • the device of the above described organization according to this invention operates as follows.
  • the latch 2 and the detent 3 are positioned as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the striker B enters into the slot 2b along the depression 1d of the body 1, and by engaging the second tooth 2d of the latch 2, causes the latter to turn in the counterclockwise direction.
  • the latch 2, contacting the vertical wall 3b of the detent 3, causes the latter to turn in the clockwise direction(seen in FIG. 1) against the force of the spring 19 until the first tooth 2c of the latch 2 is brought into engagement with the circular peripheral wall 3a of the detent 3 (safety engagement).
  • the locking plate 16 When the door is locked from outside by using a key, the locking plate 16 is turned in the clockwise direction about the pin 3c through a lever(not shown) connected to the hole 16c of locking plate 16.
  • the locking plate 16 When it is desired to lock the door from inside, the locking plate 16 is caused to turn in the clockwise direction about the pin 3c by, for example, pushing down an inside locking push knob connected to the hole 16b of locking plate 16.
  • the pin 20 fixed to locking plate 16 is simultaneously turned in the same direction about the pin 3c, forcing the lower end of connecting lever 15 to the right as seen in FIG. 4, until the lever 15 takes a position as shown in FIG. 5 by full lines.
  • the turn-over spring 24 which has been previously urging the locking plate 16 in the counterclockwise direction, begins to urge the same plate in the clockwise direction.
  • the pin 20 is thereupon pushed to the left by engagement with the part 150, causing the locking plate 16 to turn in the counterclockwise direction as seen in FIG. 5 about the pin 30 and positions the plate 16 so as to be kept in the position shown in FIG. 4 under the action of turnover spring 24. Thereafter, the door is allowed to be opened by operation of the opening button, followed by clockwise turning (seen in FIG. 4) of open-lever 12 about the pin 13. That is, the unlocking function is attained.
  • the inside locking push-knob is operated to position the locking plate 16 and the connecting lever 15 is locking position as shown in FIG. 5 by full lines. Then, after the opening button is operated in the opening direction (i.e., with the parts as positioned in dotted-line positions in FIG. 5), the door is closed. In this case, counterclockwise turning of the open-plate 8 caused by closing of the door cannot change the position of connecting lever 15, since the third arm 8d of open-plate 8 cannot engage with the hook-shaped part 15a of connecting lever 15. Therefore, the lever 15 is left unmoved in the position shown in FIG. 5. Thus, once the door is closed, it is not permitted to open, even if the open-handle is operated, and in this way keyless locking (locking without use of the key) is attained.
  • a latch 32 which has ratchet teeth 32c and 32d engageable with a detent or pawl 33 for stopping the turning of the latch at one side of a pivot point 32a of the same, and a claw 32b engageable with a striker Ba at the opposite side of the pivot point.
  • the prior device has a force-acting point and a reaction point at opposite sides of a pivot point
  • the device of the present invention has a reaction point and a pivot point at opposite sides of a force-acting point.
  • the pivot point is subjected to a force of 2? and the reaction point to a force of P in the case of the prior art device, while in the case of the device of the present invention, a force of only 1/2? acts on both the pivot point and the reaction point.
  • the latch teeth and the detent are capable of bearing with the same sizes two or four times greater forces than in the prior art design.
  • the force along the longitudinal direction of the car acts upon these parts, there is an undesirable tendency in the case of the prior art design of the latch 32 disengaging from the pawl 33 as indicated in FIG. 7.
  • the parts are arranged as shown in FIG. 3, disengagement of the latch 2 from the detent 3 is restricted by the cover plate 7, so that the correct performance is further ensured in spite of the longitudinal deformation of the car.
  • the detent 3 is basically a body of revolution, a part of which is cut-out and is shaped to have its arcuate periphery 3a engageable with the the first or second tooth or 2d of the latch 2. Accordingly the detent 3 is formed readily from an ordinary material such as a cold-rolled round bar by rather simple machining at low cost.
  • the surface of this detent is not necessarily machine-finished but, when finished by cutting or grinding, there is attained an excellent smoothness of its engagement with the first or second tooth 2c or 2d of the latch 2. Consequently, a very comfortable tactile feeling is provided in the unlocking operation which is far beyond the reach of prior art devices, in which the parts are formed by pressing'or the like.
  • latch teeth 2c and 2d are defined by convex planes opposing the peripheral arcuate surface 3a of detent 3, concave planes having greater radii of curvature than the surface 30, or by flat planes, it becomes possible to maintain a component of a force to open the door always directed toward the center of the detent 3, irrespective of small errors in manufacturing or assembling. Therefore, occurrence of unintended disengagement between the latch teeth and the detent, due to the abovesaid errors accompanying deformation caused by the torque of the acting force, as is the case of the prior art design, is completely eliminated, whereby the advantageous features of the present invention are assured.
  • the detent is rotatably supported at and along its outer face instead of being a pawl pivoted by a pin as in the case of the prior art, it is possible to make the support surface with a great diameter whereby great strength of the part is assured.
  • the detent in the abovedescribed embodiment there is used as the detent a cylindrical member having a cut-out part.
  • the same effect is obtainable by using a disk-shaped detent having a cut-out part and pivotably suspended at its outer face.
  • a force transmitted from the striker is divided into two components by the latch, and each of these components is received by one or another of two members, respectively.
  • a latch of this type together with a detent, which is shaped from a cylindrical or disk like material by cutting out a part thereof and is rotatably supported in a depression of a complementary shape, there is provided a novel door locking device which is of simple design, low cast, and great strength, and imparts a comfortable tactile feeling in operation.
