SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 757,464, dated April 19, 1904.
Application filed June 11, 1903.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, OMER F. IMMELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Blair, in the county of Trempealeau and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Latch, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to fastening devices for swinging members, such as doors, gates, window-shutters, and the like; and one of the principal objects of the device is to provide means whereby the fastener will be accessible from either side of the swinging member.
Another object is to provide a cheap, durable, and efiicient device of the character described which will be easily applied and removed.
Further objects and advantages of this invention will appear in the following description, and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in the appended claim, it being understood that changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device applied, showing the position on the swinging member previous to looking it in a closed position; and Fig. '2 is a horizontal sectional View through the swinging member looked against closing.
The reference-numeral 1 designates a swinging member-such as a door, gate, or windowshutterwhich is adapted to close an opening 2.
3 and 4. are catches adapted to be independently engaged by the sliding bolt 5, which is carried by the swinging member 1, and so as to hold the member against swinging into an open or a closed position, as the case may be.
The bolt 6 is slidably mounted in bearings 7 and 8, one of which supports an expansionspring 9, the purpose of which is to project the bolt into engagement with one of the catches and yieldingly hold it in engagement therewith.
Serial No. 161,040. (No model.)
The bolt is provided with terminal and intermediate bends or loops 10 and 11, which constitute handles for the bolt, and one of these handles projects through a slot or opening 12 in the door 1, while the other handle is oppositely disposed with relation thereto and located on the opposite face thereof, so that one handle will be accessible at all times, whereby the bolt may be retracted out of engagement with the particular catch with which it may be in contact. The advantage of such a construction will be readily apparent, inasmuch as one of the catches is a wall-catch, and when in the open position the engaging end of the bolt will be inaccessible on account of the door.
By utilizing a construction similar to the one just described the swinging member can be conveniently locked in either position desired and as conveniently released.
.I, claim- The combination with a pair of spaced catches and swinging member intermediate the catches and adapted to close an opening, of a sliding bolt carried by the swinging member, and having oppositely-disposed bends near the respective ends, one of said bends extending through an opening in the swinging member, said bends forminghandles, terminal bearings for the bolt carried on opposite sides of the door and in which the bolt is slidably mounted, an intermediate bearing adjacent to one of the bends and having a spring therein pressing against the bend in the bolt, and a free end on the bolt to independently engage either catch.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto afiixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
OMER FQIMMELL.
