  • the lock piece 3 will accordingly be raised by the action of the line 6 along a guide piece 21, when the form forming the groove 15 separates from the end 13, the latch cam 8 of the door latch may rotate freely. Furthermore, in case the lock piece 3 is raised too, a part of the piece is still engaged inside the guide piece 21. If, on the contrary, the actuating means 4 is lowered, the lock piece 3 goes down with its own weight, while the groove 15 engages with the end 13 of the rotational shaft, whereby the rotation of the latch cam 8 is checked.
  • the guide piece 21 which prevents the lock piece 3 from rotating has a frame-like structure with a square cross section, and has an opening 21d free at its upper and lower ends, and parts of the guide pieces 21a and 21b, partially cut away.
  • the guide piece is located inside the vertical frame 2 and the aforementioned lock piece is guided into the opening 21d at the right position.
  • the tapered face 21c at the top of the guide piece 21 is provided for smooth conduction of the lock piece in assembling.
  • the stopper or projection 22 formed by bending upward a portion of the vertical frame holds the guide piece at a predetermined position.
  • the upper notch 21a of the guide piece is provided for the escape of the set screw of the door latch when the screw is driven in.
  • the lower notch 21b is given in order to cause the end 13 of the rotational shaft of the door latch 7 to pass through the guide piece, thereby engaging with the tip of the rotational shaft of the door latch with the lock piece provided in the guide piece.
  • the apparatus of this invention is further equipped with a means to avoid the excessive fall of the lock piece with its own weight.
  • the structure of this means is as follows:
  • the cover plate of the actuating means is provided with an aperture 53 and a bore 24, and the fall of the lock piece 3 by its own weight is prevented by engaging a pin 26 with the groove 24 by the action of a compression spring 25 fitted to the opening 52 of the actuating means shown in FIG. 4.
  • FIGS. and 6 indicate another possible position of the actuating means.
  • the actuating means 4 is installed below the door latch 7, which is connected with the latch by means of the line 6 suspended from a pulley 27.
  • FIG. 6 comprises the latch 7 installed on one vertical frame 2 of a door 1, and the actuating means 4 mounted on the other vertical frame 28 of the door.
  • the latch and the actuating means are connected with each other by means of the line 6 running over the pulley 27.
  • actuating means may be employed in lieu of the actuating means 4 described above.
  • actuating means 29 having an oscillating lever.
  • the actuating means 29 is composed of a frame 60 secured to the vertical frame 2, and a sliding member 35 vertically slidable on the back of the frame wherein the cylinder 34 is provided on the backside and the line is engaged at the lower side, another sliding member 33 horizontally slidable inside the cylinder, a compression spring 61 provided between the slider 33 and the cylinder 34, and a lever 30 pivoted on a movable pin 31 and connected with the slider 33 by means of a fixed pin 32.
  • the slider 35 is guided vertically by the backside of the frame 60 and the pin 62, and the pin is supported by a bracket 63 which is integral with the frame.
  • the lower hooked portion 35a of the slider 35 is equipped with the upper end of a line 6, which accordingly hoists a lock piece 3, thereby a latch cam 8 rotatable by the same reason described earlier. If, on the contrary, the lever 30 is rotated upward, a reverse action will result in moving the slider 35 downward while the lock piece 3 drops by its own weight, until the free end of the rotational shaft of the latch cam 8 enters the groove 15, when the rotation of the latch cam is prevented.
  • FIGS. 9 and 11 show another embodiment of this invention where a bush-type actuating means 36 is employed.
  • the actuating means is mounted on the front of a vertical frame 2 in such a manner that a cylinder 40 with a slot may reside in the vertical frame, and the actuating means is equipped with a bolt 38 that passes through the cylinder and can be operated by one-touch action.
  • the lock piece 3 is raised above the end 13 of the rotational shaft so that the latch cam is allowed to rotate. Besides, the bolt 38 is retracted.
  • the pin 39 is connected with a line 6, which slackens by the above described rotation of the pin, when the lock piece 3 is enabled to go down. If, therefore, the cam of the door latch is operated so that an arm 13 may be rotated, the lock piece moves down and engages with the rotational shaft.
  • the push button 37 For unlocking the door, the push button 37 needs only to be turned in the reverse direction, when the pin 39 enters the slot 41 and the bolt 38 slides to the left to a standstill in the original recess by means of the compression spring 43, the rotation of the pin raising the lock piece 3 by the line 6.
  • This particular embodiment of the invention provides triple locking based on the use of the actuating means (including lock means), the door latch, and the lock piece. Such a feature makes this arrangement recommendable as a specially rigid anti-burglary measure.
  • the bolt 38 may fall short of reaching the opening 44, which therefore may be omitted and only the pin 39 is actuated by the bolt in order to slacken or raise the line.
  • the lock piece 3 may be applied not only to the rotational shaft of the above-described door latch, but also to the shaft of either a circular actuating means or a lever actuating means used for latching purposes as well as some other shaft similar to that of the above door latch.
  • FIG. 8 A variation of the lock piece is shown in FIG. 8. The remainder of the entire apparatus is the same as in FIG. 11.
  • Another deformed lock piece 73 presents a square transverse cross section as shown in FIG. 9, and the flat face 45 thus formed is in contact with the notched face of the rotational shaft 13, whereby the shaft is prevented from rotating.
  • FIG. 10 exhibits an embodiment in which the lock piece coacts with a socket in the floor to directly constitute a door locking mechanism.
  • the lock piece 83 consists of a round or square bar, whosetip islocated in the socket 49 of the floor 48, locking the door.
  • a lever actuating means 47 is employed as the actuating means.
  • the lock piece causes a guide 54 to slide up by means of a line 6 out of the socket 49, the door 1 being unlocked. If the lever actuating means is rotated in the opposite direction, the lock piece comes into the position where locking is done.
  • a locking device comprising, a pair of doors with hollow vertical frames and horizontal frames, a base fixed to a vertical frame of one of the doors, a cam latch rotatably pivoted to the base, a rotating shaft means integral with the cam latch, and rotatable as a unit with the cam latch by extending through the base into the vertical frame, a cam latch keeper fixed to the vertical frame of the other door and engaging with the cam latch, a lock piece vertically slidable provided in the vertical frame and releasing the cam latch by inhibiting or disengaging the rotation of the cam latch while engaging with the rotating shaft, an actuating means provided in the frame and sliding the lock piece vertically, and a flexible and slackenable line connecting the actuating means and the lock piece.
