LOCK AND FASTENER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 7, 1909.

Application filed September 15, 1908. Serial No. 453,208.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMEs ROBERTSON, a

certain new and useful Improvements in Locks and Fasteners, of whlch the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in looks and fasteners and consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

Referring to the drawings forming a part hereof-Figure 1 is a a front view of the improvement partly in section; Fig. 2 is a similar view with the cover plate removed, showing the fastener in locked position. Fig. 3 is a similar view, the locking device proper being shown in section. Fig. 4 is a section through a portion of the door, and the lock in place showing the sliding bar in one position. Fig. 5 is a portion of Fig. 4 showing the bar in another position. Fig. 6 is a longitudinal section through the locking device proper. Fig. 7 is a view at right angles to Fig. 6; Fig. 8 is a view similar to Fig. 7 showing the fastener unlocked; Fig. 9 is a detail of the night latch arrangement; Fig. 10 is a similar view, and Fig. 11 is a detail perspective view of the means for preventing the operation of the key.

The present embodiment of the invention comprises a tube 1, adapted to be passed through an opening in the door 2, and provided at one end with a flange 3, which flange abuts against the adjacent side of the door. A sliding bar 5 is movable in the tube, and knobs 6 and 7 which may be integral with the plates 8 and 9 are secured to the door on each side thereof, by means of screws 10 traversing the plates and the door.

Each of the knobs is provided with an opening therethrough for receiving the sliding bar, and the knob 6 is provided with a depression 11 in its face, into which depression projects the end of the sliding bar which is round to form a push button 12. The other end of the bar is slotted longitudinally as at 13, and the sides of the bar upon each side of theslot are corrugated as at 14, and a plate 15 provided with an integral trigger or catch 16 is clamped to the bar by means of a second plate 17 arranged on the opposite side of the bar and secured to the first plate by a screw 18. The bar is also provided with notches 19 upon each 9 side thereof, at the opposite end from the trigger or catch, and adjacent to the knob 6 for a purpose to be presently described, and adjacent to the plate 9 the bar is provided with a V-shaped notch 20, in which normally rests a ball 21.

The ball 21 is in engagement with the upper edge of an opening in an arm 22, which is pivoted as at 23, beneath a plate 24 arranged transversely of the door and secured in place by screws 25, the outer end of the plate being flush with the edge of the door as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. The swinging arm 22 is provided at its free end with a pin 26, which projects through an are shaped slot 27, in the plate 24, the free end of the pin engaging a slot 28 in a radial arm 29,

projecting from a ring 30 which is mounted to rotate on a bushing 31, integral with the plate 24 and projecting beyond the edge of the door as shown in Figs l to 3. The bushing 31 is provided with opposlte openings in which are mounted balls 32, which balls are adapted to engage an annular recess 33, in a pin 34 secured to the casing 35 of the door, in any suitable manner, and the ring 30 is provided with depressions 36 for receiving the balls 32, when the rlng is turned in a certain position, and

when the ring. is in this position, and

the door is opened, the edge of the annular recess in the locking pin which is inclined as shown in Fig. 6, engages and moves the balls outward into the recesses, thus permitting the pin to be withdrawn from the ring. It will be evident from the description that when the sliding bar 5 is moved in either direction, either by pressing on the end '12, or by pulling or pushing on the catch 16, the ball 21 w1ll be lifted by the inclined edges of the notch 20, which in its upward movement Wlll move the swinging arm'24 to partially rotate the ring 30, whereby to bring the recess in the ring, in position for the balls to move thereinto, to permit the pin to be withdrawn from the ring, and the door to be opened.

lVithin the plate 9 is arranged a bushing 37 which encircles the sliding bar, and

whose outer end is closed except for a slot 38,

through which passes that portion of the sliding bar between the notches 19, as shown in Figs. 4 and 9. The inner end of the bushing is provided with an arm 39, provided in its free end with a pin 40 in engagement with a notch 41, in a swinging plate 42,

which is pivoted in the plate 9 before mentioned, the swinging plate being engaged by a lug 43, on a knob 44, journaled in an opening in the plate, the knob being on the outer face of the plate, whereby'the plate may be swung to oscillate the bushing, so that the transverse slot therein, no longer corresponds with the widest dimension of the sliding bar, whereby said bar is prevented from endwise movement.

A spring 45 is provided on the plate, one end of which engages the pin on the arm, and the other the lug, to retain the arm and plate in their adjusted position.

It will be obvious from the description, that when the bushing is oscillated by the knob 44 into the position shown in Figs. 3 and 9, the sliding bar will be prevented from endwise movement, for which reason the swinging arm 22 cannot be operated by the sliding bar. When the lock. is in this position, it is arranged for a night latch, and may be opened by a key.

The door below the opening for the tube 1, is provided with an opening in which may be arranged the chamber 47, of a Yale lock, whose bolt 48 extends through the opening and is connected with a cam plate 46, against whose fiat edge rests the fiat edge of a ring-47 having on its opposite side a lug 48, which engages a notch 49 in the swinging arm 22 before described.

When the lock is arranged in the night latch position, a key inserted in the lock will turn the bolt 48 to turn the plate 46 into the position shown in Fig. 1, thereby elevating the ring 47 and swinging the arm 22 whereby to open or. release the lock. If desired, the operation of the Yale lock may be prevented by a cam 49, arranged within the ring 47*, and mounted upon the end of a pin 50, extending through the plate 9, and provided on its outer end with a button 51, whereby to manipulate the same, and a spring 52 is arranged between the plate and the cam for retaining the cam in its adjusted position.

It will be evident that by turning the cam, into the position shown in Fig. 3, the ring 47 cannot be lifted to operate the swinging arm.

A plate 53 is provided with trunnions 54, which extend into the recesses in the bushing 31, before mentioned, the plate extending through an opening in the bushing, and the upper end is headed as at 58, and is adapted to engage a recess 55, in the ring 30 before mentioned.

The lower inner face of the plate is beveled as shown at 56 in Figs. 7 and 8, and, the free end of the pin 34 is also beveled as shown in Fig. 6. When the door is closed, the free beveled end of the pin will-engage the plate, thus lifting the same, and permittingthe door to lock. When the door is unlocked the loose ring being swung into the position shown in Fig. 1, the plate drops into the recesses of the loose ring, thus locking the'said ring in the position shown in the before mentioned figure, and retaining it in position for the reentrance of the locking pin.
