sun on VAULT.

To all whom it may concern:

*Be it known that I, SAnmnnVV. FISH, a citizen of the United States, residing in Plainfield, in the county of Union und State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safes or "vuults, of which the following is a speciiicstion. i "The present improvement relates to safes or vaults, more particularly to the doors thereof, the object of the invention being to provide an improved double or.compound door comprising a plurality of doors each a complete door in itself and having improved means for interlocking it with the safe or vault body and which doors are, however, rigidly connected together in an improved manner so that the Separation of one door from the other will require not only the rupturing of the locking means between the door; but also of the locking means between the outer door and the safe or vault body.

A further object of the invention is the provision of an improved rotary door made up of :1 pair of complete doors each having lugs for interlocking it with similarly formed lugs of the safe or vault body, and which doors are rigidly connected with each other by a rotary interlocking movement of similarlyformed lugs carried by the doors. A further object of the invention is the gmo'vision of :in improved door of the char nCi'Cl' specified in connection with an im- .Eng port of thisspecification, 1 "from; view of this improved door; Fig.2 is

Similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughoutthe figures ot the drawings.

' one of the features of'the present im- .provemeut "is the provision of an improved Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed s ruce, mos. Serial m. 4e2,sse.

igure 1 is 21' but also with the body, so that the outer door is not only interlocked with the body by its ownlocking means, but is also interlocked with such body throu h the medium of the locking means for tie inner door,

thus providing astructure in which the double door is supported by asingle hingewhile having at least twice the resisting effectiveness of doors heretofore constructed.

In the present embodiment one form of which is shown in the drawings, the safe body 2, usually of an integral structure and preferablyof unn'mchineable meta-l, has its side walls terminating in a jnmb 3 of relatively great depth and formed by a rear.- wardli extending flange 4robtnined by pro-, viding a recess 5 between such flange and the side walls of the safe. Between this flange or recess and the front of the safe body a chamber 6 is formed, preferably of annular formation, which may act as an expansion or explosion chamber. This chamber communicates with the jam'b of the body and is normally'closed by a closure wall 7 formed of a band of metal 8- which may in practice be formed in -seetions. This well, however, is of such 'icharacter that should nitroglycerin be inserted into the joint. it is readily destructiblc to permit the gases to expand within the chamber and thus inte fere with the effectiveness of the explosive charge. The provision of this chamber also enables the jumb to be made of increased Patented July 11, 1911.

thickness or depth without interfering with the uniformity of the metal, and thus will enable the body to be made of unmachineable metal and bent treated if desired.

lhe jumh 3 ofthe body is provided with two independent sets of profi'ections or locl iug surfaces as 9 and '10, shown herein in the form'of lugs, one, asthe-inner, set 9 being carried by the jamhand shown its integral therewith to coiiperate with similarly formed-lngs-of the inner:v door, and the other or outer set, as 10, being-carried by the jamb and shown as integral therewith separated so that one set is carried in the. rear ofthe expansion chamber 1n the body wlnle the other set'is carried in front thereof, and in the form shown the locking faces 'of the front set of lugs are preferably adjacent to the front wall '12 of the expansion chamber of the body, so that the locking lugsof the outer door will be in uxtaposition to the expansion chamber and therefore adjacent to the closure wall thereof.

The door 15 in-the present instance comprises a pair of chambered doors 16 and 17, each made up of a body portion 18 or 19 and a chambered portion 20 or 21 forming a rearwardly extending tlange 22 or 23. Each door is provided with a set of locking surfaces, shown in the form of lugs, the lugs 2 L of the rear door 16 being preferably located at the inner end of its flange 22 and the locking surfaces or lugs 25 of the front or outer door being also located preferably adjacent to the'rear of its flange 23. The chambered formation of these doors not only provides the flanges 22 and 23 hereinbefore mentioned, thereby enabling each 'of the.

doors to be cast substantially uniform when 'vide a rcrv necessary, but-also provides a relatively long door joint surface, which is desirable so as to distribute the shocks of an explosion over a comparatively large area. These two doors formed in the manner specified are rigidly secured together so as to be shifted into and from the jamb and rotated therein when the same isfornied as a rotary door, as one member ordoor, and for this purpose they are rigidly locked together preferably adja cent to their outer edges by interlocking means or surfaces substantially similar in the present. instance to those which interlock the doors with the' body, and for this pose, see F ig; 4, the rearwardly extending flange 23 of the front door'is provided with interiorly projecting lugs 27 interlocking with similarly formed lugs 2Scarried by the inner 01"1'031' door 16 and projecting forwardly of the front wall of the body thereof.

There is tl'zus'providul between the two interlocked doors an expansion or explosion Thus it will be seen that by thisconstrinztion I am able to provide a double door having thcrclatwccn an expansion or explosion cnamhcr without the ncccssity of casting the door as an iritcgral structure, so that in .'onsequcnce I am able to promassive door having at least twice the'ell'cctivcnoss to resist. burglarious attacks than has heretofore been fouinhpracticable. "l t is tobe remembered that as'safe and vault do rs are-now constructed of unmach'ii 'a'hle metal, such for instance as niang nese steel, which it: is desirable to heat" treat in order to toughen it, itfollows that purinorder to construct a door of'this' material and treat it in this manner the casting must not be too lar e and must also be substantially uniform, so that there are necessarily certainlimitations in the size of an integral casting, but by forming the door in the manner shown I am able to provide, if necessary, a door having at least twice the effectiveness of a door as heretofore constructed, without interfering with its uniformity.

For securing the doors together so as to prevent one rotating independently of the other, various means may be used, but in the present instance I have shown them keyed or splined together by a number of keys 31 fitting into registering slots or recesses 32 formed iirtlie metal of the doors where they come into contact with each other. As there is no strain upon these keys except when the door is rotated the keys need not be of very large size.

The door may be supported in any of the usual ways by a hinge, snbh as a c 'ane hinge, but as this does not constitute a part of the present improvement it is not shown in the drawings. Any suitable locking means for preventing rotation of the door may be used, and this lnay be carried, if preferred, within the chamber 21 formed between the doors and a part of which may be controlled by a spindle or spindles which may. project through openings 35 in the outer door if preferred. None of these features, however, constitute parts of the present improvement and are therefore not shown.

- In operation the door may be swung to-. ward and from its seat. in the body on its hinge and then rotated in any of the usual manners to interlock withthe lugs of the jamb, the rotation of the door interlocking each door by separate locking lugs with the body lugs.

From the foregoing it will be observed that even should nitro-glyccrin be inserted into the door joint it is probable that it would be trapped in the annular chamber of the jamb, where it would be dithcnltto ex plode it, but if not, and it should beexplode d around the door joint itwould have to be. of suflieientquantity and ctl'cctivcness to tear oifthe, entire front of the safe in order to separate the outer door from-the safe body and the inner door, and this would be to a large extent resisted by the inner door. and a charge of this character would probably be suliicicntto wreck the building. If, however. a burglar was successful. and.

himself lived through the effect of such charge. he would still have to separate the inner door from the body in order to get into the safe, and as thisdoor would ordinarily be of the same size and character asdoors heretofore usually provided it will be ob- "served that the present improved door is at least twice the resisting efiiectiveness. and

probably more, of ordinary doors as heretofore provided, and that practically the u only way to obtain access in a burglarious operating lugs oft-he doors.

manner to the safe is by wrecking the struct-ure, which, of course, would so mutilate the contents that it would be of no value to the burglar, as it is well known that a burglar will not usually take the mutilated contents of a safe for various reasons, one of which is that it will very quickly lead to his identification.

It will be understood that the various details of construction. may be more or less modified without departing from the spirit and scope of this improvement, the essential feature of which is the rovision of a door capable of being manipu ated as an integral structure, but made up of inde endent doors each having the effectiveness 0 a single door as heretofore provided, which, however, interlock with the jamb by a separate locking means, and in the form shown interlock with each other by 'alocking means similar to that provided for interlocking the doors with the jamb, whereby each door will not.

only be interlocked with 'the' jamb in an effective manner, but the two doors will be rigidly connected with each other in just as the body, whereby the separation of one from the other is rendered well nigh impossible without the destruction of the entire structure. In the present improvement it -will therefore be observed that the compound door is locked within its jamb by rotating it thereby to interlock the two sets of doorlugs with the; two sets of locking lugsv of the jamb, and that the outer door is interlocked with the inner door by rotating one or the other thereof to interlockjthe co- As it is well known that interlocking lugs forsccuring a door to its jamb is one of the best, if not the best, means of locking the door within its jamb, it follows that by utilizing this same means for rigidly securing one door tothe other to form a double door the doors are locked together as rigidly and securely as each door is secured'in its ja'mb. It will, furthermore, be observed'that the door 16 isprovided with an annular shoulder 40 -00- operating with the outer or forward side of one set of body lugs, while the door 17 is provided with a similar shoulder 50 in-engagement withthe outer or forward'side of the other set of body lugs, so that inward movement of the door is prevented as well as outward,rnovement when the door is locked in its jamb. In the present embodiment the jamb is shown as a tapered or conically formed one, as is-also' the door, so that pressure exerted on theouter faces of the door wouldtend to more, firmly seat it.

In the present improvement it willbe-observed that the spindle holes in the outer 'holding lugs carried by the c operating to rigidly secure the doors together in the manner herein set forth I am.

thus able. to use a straight instead of a tapered spindle for controllin the lockingmechanism, which, as herein fore stated,

may be located between the doors, since this spindle can be inserted through its spindle opemng from the inside of the outer door before the two,doors are locked together and provided. with a lar shoulder or head which will prevent its ein drawn out from the front of the door, an the engagement of the inner end of the-spindle with the front face of the inner door will preventit from being shoved inward. Thus I am able to dis ense with the use of a tapered spindle, which has heretofore been necessary, and am also able to use a. oneiece spindle, :that is, a. spindle in which the ead is'integral with the cylindrical portion. I do not claim this feature herein, however, as this will constitute the subject-matter of a separate application. 1 1
