More particularly, this invention remounted locking devices by breaking or forcing such locking devices out of the cabinet with a hammer or other heavy metal sledge-like device.-
Still another difficulty with such interiorly mounted locking devices has been the necessity to rely upon a key for opening and locking such a device rather than a numerical combination actuated device.
Still another difficulty with such interiorly mounted locking devices has been the problem of inadvertent knocking, breaking, or de-actuating such devices for either opening or closing because 'of.their protrusion and subsequent accidentalknocking during moving of the file tiers that they are a part Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide means of locking in integral tier of filing cabinets that is inexpensive and uncomplicated to make and use, that can be moved without excessive protrusion invit- .ing breaking or de-actuation, and that is capable ,of
being actuated by either a combination or key device.
This and other objects of this invention will be apparent from the following specifications and claims.
These objects are achieved by the provision of a metal rod-like structure having a key-shaped end that engages the top surface of an eyelet attached to the tier shell above the handle of the top drawer in an integral tier of file drawers, and an aperture near the upper end of said rod operable to engage a shank of a locking device that is either combination or key actuated. The shankof the locking device is proximate to the bottom surface of the eyelet above the top drawer in the tierof file drawers.
ON THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional prospective view of a preferred embodiment of this invention;v
I ment of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings since the invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or carried out in various ways.
' Also it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation.
AS SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS A preferred embodiment of the invention as shown in the drawings relates to a file cabinet or integral tier of file drawers 10. The cabinet comprises a cabinet shell 12 and an array of drawers 14, 16, 18 arranged physically one above the other within the shell. Part of the shell 12 has horizontal frame structures 78, 80, 82, 84 arranged above, below and between the drawers l4, 16, 18.
Each of the drawers l4, 16, 18 has a horizontally extending handle 20, 22, 24 respectively. Each of the handles 20, 22, 24 is U-shaped defining an inner perimeter of apertures 48, 50, 52 respectively with the face of a drawer 14, 16, 18 respectively.
The entire cabinet structure, particularly the shell 12 and the drawers 14, 16, 18, are made of metal, preferably steel. The handles 20, 22, 24 are made of metal, preferably of a softer type such as brass, but they could also be made of steel. The preference for metals, par- .ticularly for steel, in the cabinet and drawers structure is to provide means of secure depository of records and documents and to inhibit, in combination with the rest of the structure hereinafter described, unauthorized entry and access to the records and documents stored within the cabinet.
Eyelets, 26, 28, 30, 32, preferably made of steel, are arranged serially in a vertical order above, below and between the drawers 20, 22, 24. Each of the eyelets 28, 30, 32 are constructed in a similar fashion to eyelet 26 and are fixed to the cabinet shell 12 in a manner similar to the manner of eyelet 26. Each of the eyelets 26, 28, 30, 32 have an outwardly extending in a horizontal plane donut-shaped or taurus members 34, 36, 38, 40 respectively with radially interior surfaces 40, 42, 44, 46 respectively defining an interior aperture or hole within the donut. Each of these apertures are co-axial along axis 54 which passes through the apertures 48, 50, 52 of the handles 20, 22 and 24 respectively.
The means in which the eyelets 26, 28, 30, 32 are attached to the tier 12 can be appreciated from the detail of such construction shown for eyelet 26. Each of the eyelets 26, 28, 30, 32 have a shank portion similar to the shank portion 76 of eyelet 26. Shank 76, as the other shanks, (not shown) has a threaded portion which fits into a corresponding threaded aperture 74 in horizontal element 78 of the cabinet shell 12.
A T-shaped rod member 56 has a central physically extending longitudinal portion 58 and a short horizontally extending cross member 60 rigidly attached at the top 62 of the rod 58 to that rod by welding or other appropriate rigidly attaching means of securing metal pieces together. Both the rod and the cross member are preferably made of steel rod stock of a hardened type. An aperture 66 is provided slightly below the top 62 of the rod member 58. The rod member is preferably of solid steel of a'hardened variety of a thickness of inch. The aperture 66 preferably is of a dimension of inch diameter. The aperture 66 thus is sufficiently large enough in diameter to accommodate a shank member 68 of a lock or shackle 70.
It can be appreciated that inthe preferred embodiment of this invention the central axis 72 of the longitudinal rod portion 68 of the rod member 56 is substantially co-linear with the axis 54 passing through the eyelets and handles. The rod 56 is passed through these eyelets and handles from the top to the bottom in such a manner that the bottom surface of the cross member 60 is contiguous to the top surface of the donut portion .24 of the eyelet portion 36. The aperture 66 is slightly below the bottom surface of the donut-shaped portion rod member is used in conjunction with the eyelets and shackle as shown in FIG. 1 but instead pass through the handles on the drawers. In this alternative embodiment of 'the invention the forward horizontal translation of the drawers is limited to the distance between the side i of the rod member 58 and the face of the drawers. The horizontal forward translation of the rod member 58 is limited by the ring or donut-shaped parts of the eyelets.
tions that an inexpensive and umcomplicated means of locking presently produced or past produced steel cabinets has been provided by this invention.
ble to move in a horizontal direction with respect to the cabinet, the improvements comprising:
From the foregoing of the preferred embodiments of 5 this invention it can be appreciated that the drawers 14, l6, 18 cannot be substantially moved forward and horizontally of the plane defined by the top and bottom edges 86 and 88 respectively of the shell 12 when the rod and shackle are in place as shown in FIG. 1. In this manner a relatively inexpensive and easy method of locking the drawers is provided. The device may be unlocked readily by simply unlocking or de-actuating the shackle 70 and removing the shank 68 from the aperture 66 and simply withdrawingthe rod member by sliding the rod outwardly and upwardly from the eyelet apertures and apertures formed by the handles of the drawers.
