Definitions

• the present invention relates to a locking device for doors and the like comprising a housing and ratchet means cooperating therewith to optionally retain the securing plate in locked position, the plate being pivotable about a spindle and arranged to be moved between open and closed position by the bolt and to remain in one or other of these positions.
• the door lock must consist of a spring-loaded, descending bolt with angle-cut end face, which is not considered as reliable as a sliding bolt.
• the device also includes an indicator in the form of a cam with a pin, designed to cooperate with the securing plate in sensing the position of the bolt and conveying this information to a limit breaker or the like when the securing plate is in closed position.
• the securing plate is pivotable about a spindle, the closing and opening movements of the plate occurring during rotation about the spindle and the centre of rotation being so located that the securing plate is moved aside by pressure from the bolt, for instance, when the door is opening or closing.
• the securing plate and a pivotable cam are journalled on the same spindle, a pin on the cam cooperating with the securing plate and transmitting information to a microswitch or the like as to whether the bolt inside the locking device is locked in the securing plate.
• This cam is also forcibly guided by the securing plate, the cam being pushed to its innermost position by the pressure of the securing plate against the cam pin when the door is opened. This enables the bolt to enter the securing plate upon closing, without touching the cam.
• the securing plate is also arranged so that the ratchet is unable to lock the plate when the plate is in open position, i.e. when the door is open.
• the ratchet can only lock the securing plate when the door is closed, i.e. when the bolt has forced the securing plate to closed position and the ratchet falls by its own weight to its lowermost position in the recess in the securing plate.
• said ratchet is provided with a link having an inclined groove for engagement with the lifting pin of the ratchet, said pin being designed so that if the upper, jointed part of the link is lifted by an electromagnet, for instance, the protruding portion of the link below the stop will be exposed irst, thus permitting continued movement upwards (unlocking) of the ratchet.
• the inclined groove is arranged to ef ectively force the protruding part of the link to an end position against a stop if any un ⁇ authorized attempt is made to open the lock by lifting the ratchet itself, e.g. in the event of sabotage.

• Figure 10 shows a cross section along the lines IX-IX in Figure 11 open door, bolt in operation
• Figure 11 shows a cross section along the lines XI-XI in Figures 7 and 9
• Figure 1 shows an electrically operated securing plate in a lock housing itted " in a door-frame.
• the housing is composed of a casing 3 and a lid 4 with a side opening 5 to receive the bolt 9 from the door lock.
• the lid is provided with assembly screws for fitting to door-frame and casing. These screws are hidden by the door when the door is closed and can therefore only be removed when the door is open.
• the lock housing is shown in more detail in Figure 3.
• the casing 1 is provided with two partitions 6 and 7 and in the space between these is a securing plate 8. This plate is provided with a recess for the bolt 9 of the door lock.
• the securing plate 8 is so arranged that by pressing against a side wall of the plate recess during a closing movement the bolt 9 will force the securing plate 8 from the position shown in Figure 8 to the position shown in Figure 7. It is also arranged so that by pressing against a side wall of the plate recess during an opening movement, the bolt 9 will force the securing plate from the position shown in Figure 7 to that shown in Figure 8.
• the securing plate is also provided with a recess for a cam 11 journalled on the same spindle 10 to indicate via a pin 12 or the like to a limit breaker 13 when the cam, applied on the spindle by a torsion spring 14, strives towards the position shown in Figure 6, i.e. when the bolt 9 is unlocked.
• the lock is also provided with a recess 15 to grasp the pin 12 and forcibly guide the cam to its innermost position as shown in Figure 8, when during an opening movement the securing plate is forced by the door bolt to the position shown in Figure 8.
• the bolt can then be inserted into the lock housing without encountering the outermost part of the cam 11.
• the microswitch 13 sense whether the door bolt is in locking position or not.
• the securing plate 8 To retain the securing plate 8 in open position, i.e. in the position shown in Figure 8, and to counteract the pressure of the cam 11 against the securing plate via torsion spring 14, the securing plate 8 has been provided with a pin 16 which is influenced by a torsion spring 18 and pin 17 located on the lower partition 7.
• the spring 18 has greater force than that exerted in the opposite direction by the torsion spring 14 via the cam 11.
• the torsion spring 18 influencing pin 16 on the securing plate is angled as shown in Figures 9 and 10, and thereby strives to keep the securing plate in closed or open position, respectively.
• a ratchet 19 is located in the casing and is operated via a link 20 from an electromagnet 21.
• the ratchet 19 can only lock the securing plate when the door is closed and the bolt 9 has orced the securing plate to its closed position.
• the electromagnet 21 Upon unlocking, i.e. when current is connected, the electromagnet 21 is arranged to draw up the armature, connected via a link 20 to the ratchet, so that the securing plate is disengaged.
• a limit breaker 22 senses via its operating arm when the ratchet 19 is lifted, i.e. the locked is disengaged.
• the uppermost part of link 20 pivots on shaft 23 of the electromagnet armature and its lowermost part is provided with an inclined groove to engage with the lifting pin 25 designed so that raising the electromagnet in the upper joint 23 will first disengage the part of the link protruding below the stop or pin 26, thereby enabling continued lifting (unlocking) of the ratchet to the position shown in Figure 11.
• the inclined groove 24 is arranged to effectively force the protruding part of the link to an end position against a stop or pin 26 if any unauthorized attempt is made to open the lock by lifting the ratchet itself, e.g. in the event of sabotage.
