To all whom, it may concern): Be it knownthat I, HUGH ELMER CLARK, a. citizen of the United States, and a resident of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State ew York, have invented certainfn ew and useful Improvements in Emergency 'EXit- Door Locks, of which'the following is a specification. 1

emergency exit-door locks.

and is intended to adapt that invention to certain conditions not before considered.

In thedrawings, Figure 1 isa front elevation ofdouble doors embodying this invention. 2 is a verticals'ec tion on the line 2 2'ofFig. 1.. Fig. 3 is a persective view of certain details, and Fig. 4 shows in the relatlon of two ofthe parts another detail of con struction.

Dou'ble doors X and X are shown, which are hinged to the-casing in the usual manner,

' so'that they swing outwardly? Brackets 1 1 vers 6 6 are pivote are attached to said doors'yrespectively, to

whichthe hinged plates 22 are attached, respectively. plate 3 isals'o attachedto one of said doors, as X, which'carriesthe bracket 4 (see Fig. 2)and the-two airs otlugs' 5 5 and 5 5.. (See 3.)] eV crating-lebetween; the ugs 5 and 5 5,';respectivel The plate 4 has a horizon tal slot 7 and t e'levers 66 vertical slots 8 8, respectively. Rods 9 and 10 are onthe ends of the plates 2 '2, respectively. One of these rods 9 asses through all three of said slots of the fulcrums of sai 7, 8, an 8 and when closed its free end 11 enters a socket 12 on the end of the other rod 10. Locking-bolts 1 313 are pivoted to the levers 6 6, respectivel on the opposite side (l evers from, their slots 8 S'by yokes 14 14. The locking-bolts run through guides 15 1-5 on the door X and en- 4 gage socket-plates 16 16, which may be in the top and bottom of the door-casing or in any ot er suitable place.- A latch 17, that is'pivany suitable pointad jacent to the rod 9, '(in the drawings it is shown ivoted to the side of the plate 1,-)- car-'- rice as loulder 18 that is adaptedto engage a'lug 20 upon said rod 9. j

Normal the parts take the ositions shown in igs. 1 to 3, in which the r0 '9 lies in tively, and 100 the doorshut. When pres- 13 and unlocking the. door X, so that both tac ed to the outside of the door X) prevents other door X isvalso opened, and a horizon tally-slotted bracket 21' is shown for sup 'ortin at its outer end the plate 2 on the door by receiving-the rod 10. When the rod- 9- is forcedinwardly to retract the bolts 1313, its lug20 is engaged by theshoulder 1S leased from the latch, so thatthe bolts can not come into contact with the casing to mar it or to' prevent the doo from being closed.-

The socket 12 on 1th rod 10 is represented in Fig. 1 as open on itsbuter side; but in Fi 4 another form of socket 22 is shown, whic 1 is onlyopen to receive the rod 9 at its end 23. When the socket shown in Fig. 4 is used, both doors are closed'at the same time, so that the rod -9 will enter the socket 21. WhatIclaimis Y I 4 1.
