SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 610,624, dated September 13, 1898.
Application filed June 7, 1897. $erial No. 639,657. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be'it known that I, LESLIE J. GAMBLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at ,Moline, in the county of Rock Island, in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door-Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to fasteners adapted to exert pressure upon the closed door, and is especially adapted to refrigerator-doors and other doors which it may be desired to hold firmly in place. Its object is to provide an improved construction whereby a more convenient and efficient fastener is provided.
In the drawings accompanying and forming a part of this specification, wherein the same character of reference refers to the same part'in the several views, Figure 1 is a plan of my fastener. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a verticalcross-section of the same. Fig. 4 is a vertical cross-section of the upper plate. Fig. 5 is a plan of the lower plate. Fig. 6 is a cross-section of the same. Fig. 7 is a view of the connectingrivet.
In the drawings, D is the catoh or strikingplate, made relatively heavy and strong and adapted to be firmly secured to the wall and to engage the upper plate of the fastener proper.
B is the lower plate, in the shape of a disk with a segment cut off, as shown in Fig. 5. This plate is adapted to be attached to the door with the straight edge flush with the edge of the door. The curved edge of the plate B is raised for about the thickness of the plate, leaving a corresponding depression beneath as a path for the lip F, hereinafter described. A flange 0 projects downward from the straight edge of the lower plate and serves as a stop for the lip F at the upper end of the straight edge. The central portion L of the plate B is raised, leaving a circular depression beneath, and the raised portion bears on its circumference a circular flange K.
The upper plate A is adapted to be concentrically superimposed and to turn upon the lower plate. It is a disk having an irregular segment cut away corresponding to the similar segment of the lower plate, but cut inward more deeply, as shown in Fig. 1.
It bears a radially-projecting handle a, made integral with the plate on what may be termed the upper limb of the plate, and a camiiange a extending around the outer edge of the upper plate, adapted to engage the catch D, and rising toward the handle.
F is a lug borne on the upper limb at the circumference of the plate A, extending downward for a distance equal to the thickness of the lower plate and bearing an inwardly-projecting lip F, adapted to follow the path or groove beneath the raised edge B of the lower plate. The central portion of the upper plate A is raised at A, leaving the cylindrical spaces II I beneath.
G is a coil-spring interposed between the plates, occupying the space H.
. The rivet E passes through the centers of the upper and lower plates and, engaging the Washer M, holds the plates together, allowing the upper plate to revolve on the lower, while the push of the coil-spring produces friction enough to hold the upper plate in any position in which it may be placed.
When the upper plate is turned so as to bring its opening opposite the catch D on the wall, the door will close, the handle a then occupying substantially a vertical position. The door being closed, the handle may be turned from left to right, causing the plate A to turn, bringing the cam-flange into engagement with the catch D. It is obvious that the door can be pressed as tightly into place as may be desired and will be held there by the cam. The pressure thus brought upon the cam-flange at the circumference of the disk would unduly strain the rivet at the center and in practice would cause it to bend or break, except that the lip F engaging the opposite edge of the lower plate furnishes the necessary support and prevents undue strain on the rivet.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is V 1. A fastener of the character described comprising a hook-shaped catch adapted to be affixed to one of the parts to be locked together, a base-plate adapted to be affixed to the other of the parts to be locked together and having a straight edge to correspond with the edge of the same and flanged to take over the latter, said base-plate having a curved back edge raised to form a marginal depression, and a cam-plate pivoted to the baseplate having a curved marginal cam-flange to engage the hook-shaped catch and having a lug with a lip projecting into the marginal depression of the base-plate which forms a path for said lip, rotation of the cam-plate being limited by abutment of said lip against the flange oh the straight edge of the baseplate.
2. A fastener of the character described comprising a hook-shaped catch adapted to be affixed to one of the parts to be locked together, a base-plate adapted to be aiflxed to the other of the parts to be locked together and having a straight edge to correspond with the edge of the same and flanged to take over the latter, said base-plate having a curved back edge raised to form a marginal depression, a cam-plate arranged over said baseplate having a marginal cam-flange to engage the hook-shaped catch and being recessed at the middle in the side next to the base-plate, said cam-plate having a lug with a lip projecting into the marginal depression of the base-plate, which forms a path for said lip, and rotation of the cam-plate being limited by abutment of said lip against the flange on the straight edge of the base-plate, a pivot-pin connecting the two plates and passing through the recess in the cam-plate, and a spiral spring occupying said recess and surrounding said pivot-pin and bearing against the cam-plate and base-plate, whereby it exerts itself to press the cam-flange into close engagement with the hook-shaped catch, substantially as described.
3. A fastener of the character described comprising a hook-shaped catch adapted to be aflixed to one of the parts to be locked together, a base-plate adapted to be aliixed to the other of the parts to be locked together and having a straight edge to correspond with the edge of the same and flanged to take over the latter, said base-plate having a curved back edge raised to form a marginal depression, and a cam-plate pivoted to the baseplate having a curved marginal cam-flange to engage the hook-shaped catch and having a lug with a lip projecting into the marginal depression of the base-plate which forms a path for said lip, rotation of the cam-plate being limited by abutment of said lip against the flange on the straight edge of the baseplate, and the cam-plate being cut away to terminate the low end of the cam-flange and permit complete disengagement of the catch and cam-plate by turning of the latter.
4. A fastener of the character described comprising a hook-shaped catch adapted to be affixed to one of the parts to be locked together, a base-plate adapted to be affixed to the other of the parts to be locked together and having a straight edge to correspond with the edge of the same and flanged to take over the latter, said base-plate having a curved back edge raised to form a marginal depres sion, a cam-plate arranged over said baseplate having a marginal cam-flange to engage the hook-shaped catch and being recessed at the middle in the side next to the base-plate, said cam-plate having a lug with a lip projecting into the marginal depression of the base-plate, which forms a path for said lip, and rotation of the cam-plate being limited by abutment of said lip against the flange on the straight edge of the base-plate and the cam-plate being cut away to terminate the low end of the cam-flange and permit complete disengagement of the catch and camplate by turning of the latter, a pivot-pin connecting the two plates and passing through the recess in the cam-plate, and a spiral spring occupying said recess and surrounding said pivot-pin and bearing against the cam-plate and base-plate, whereby it exerts itself to press the cam-flange into close engagement with the hook-shaped catch, substantially as described.
