ASSIGNORS OF ONE-THIRD TO FRA COMBINED LATCH AND LOCK.
NK II. MOGRAVV, OF SAME PLACE..
sPEcIFIcATIoN forming part of Letters Patent No. 605,353, dated June 7,1898.
Application led August 23, 17.897. Serial No. 649,190. (No model.)
Be it known that we, WILLIAM L. SMITH and HARRY M. PUTT, citizens of the United States, residing at Huntingdon, in the county of Huntingdon and State of Pennsylvania, have invented anew and` useful Combined Latch and Lock, of which the following is a specification. l
This invention relates to improvements in combined latches and locks.
The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of combined latches and locks and to provide a simple, inexpensive, and efficient one which will be strong and durable and'adapted to be readily applied to an ordinary gate.`
A further object of the invention is to enable the latch-bar to be readily reversed from one side of the casing to the other to adapt the combined latch and lock for gates hung at either side.
The invention consists yin/'the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter fully described, illus-y trated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
In thedrawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a gate providediwith a combined latch and lock constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a .vertical longitudinal sectional View of the locka detail perspective View of the guide. view of the tumbler. of the key.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in the several figures of the drawings.
A1 designates a pivoted latch-bar mounted in aeasing 2 on a gate 3 and engaging a keeper 4 of a latch post or frame 5. The lateh Fig. 5 is a detail view bar, which is pivoted between its ends, eX-' to a gate hung at either side. The casing is provided at opposite sides with openings 6, and its removable face-plate is provided with integral pivots or studs 7, adapted to engage a perforation l8 of the latch-bar and to ex- Fig. 4 is a detail' line with the center of thecasing, and the `spring is adapted to swing to either side thereof to adapt itself to the positionof the latch-bar.v The keeper is beveled and recessed, asshown, being substantially of the ordinary construction. Y
The lower edge of the inner end of the latchbar is recessed to provide a shoulder 12, adapted t0 be engaged by a tumbler 13, which locks the latch-bar against movement and which consists of Da tubular portion or barrel and a lug. The tubular portion or` barrel is journaled in circular recesses of the lock-cas ing and is provided at its ends with opposite recesses 14, adapted to beengaged by lugs 15 of a key 16, and the latch-casing is provided with keyholes 17, corresponding to the configuration of the key 16. When the lug is in engagement `with the latch-bar, the latter is positively locked against movement, and, if
desired, the outer face of the casing may be closed opposite the keyhole, so that the locking mechanism may be operated only at the inside of the gate.
In order toprevent the rgate from being raised bodily to disengage the latch-bar from the keeper, a guide 18 is mounted on the gate at the free edge thereof and is provided with a horizontal arm 19, projecting beneath the keeper and adapted to prevent any upward movement of the gate when the parts are locked. The guide or loop 18, which is preferably constructed of two pieces, as shown, vconsists of an inner L-sh'aped piece and an outer plate or piece which is substantially straight, being oiset between its ends to form the ope'ning for the latch-bar. When the tumbler is in' engagement with the inner end of the latchbarand the arm 194is located beneath the Either Vpivot '7 is adapted to be' IOO keeper, the gate is rigidly held in its closed position and a positive and. efficient lock is provided. The downward swinging of the tumbler is limited bya pin 20, adapted to be arranged in either one of a pair of sockets located below the keyhole. When the latchbar is reversed,'tl1e pin 2O is also changed from one socket to the other to permit the tumbler to be rotated a sufficient distance to lock and unlock the latch-bar.
The invention has the followingl advantages: The combined latch and lock is simple and comparatively inexpensive inl construction, and it forms an efficient latch and a positive lock. The latch-bar is capable of ready adjustment to reverse it, to adapt the device to gates hung at cit-her side. The loop or guide is provided With means for preventing a gate or door from being lifted bodily to disengage the latch-bar from the keeper.
Changes in the form, proportion, and minor details of construction may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit or sacriiicing any of the advantages of this invention.
1 What We claim isl. A device of the class described comprising a casing provided at opposite sides with openings, a pair ofpivots mounted within the casing and located adjacentto the openings, areversible latch-bar provided between its ends With a pivot-opening and adapted to be arranged on either of the said pivots, the rear end of the latch-bar being arranged Within the casing, and a spring connected with the casing and the rear 'portion of the latch-bar and adapted to swing to either side of the former to accommodate itself to the position of the latter, substantially as described.
2.' A device of the class described comprising a casing provided at opposite sides with openings and hav-in g pivots arranged adjacent to the openings, a latch-bar provided between its ends with a pivot-opening to receive one of the pivots and having atransverse opening atA its inner end to receive the other pivot,
said latch-bar being'reversible from onepivot to the other,l and means for locking the latchbar against movement, substantially as described.
3. Adevice of the class described compris ving a reversible spring-actuated latch-bar, a
casingreceiving the same; a tumbler pivotally mounted in the casing and provided With a lug adaptedto be swung into and out of engagement with the latch-bar, and a reversible `stop adapted to be' mounted at either side of the keyhole of the casing lto limit the swing of the lug, substantially as described.
e. ln a device of the-class described, the combination With a keeper, of a guide designed to be mounted at the free'edge of agate and provided with a rigid arm .extending beneath the keeper, a pivoted latch-bar mounted on the gate, passing through the guide and V engaging the keeper, and means for locking the latch-bar against 1novement,substantially as and for the purpose described.-
In testimony that We claim the foregoing as our own we have hereto affixed our signatures in the presence of two Witnesses.
