Definitions
- This invention relates to a lockset.
- lockset may need to work with different door type closures which may be a swing door, a sliding door or a bi-fold door.
- the door type may dictate a particular type of latching function which the lockset needs to be able to achieve.
- user requirements may differ depending on preferences.
- a lockset may need to provide a latch and throw bolt with dead locking or neither of these but simply top and bottom bolts with dead locking or all four locking points with dead locking of all or indeed other variations.
- the manufacturer is therefore faced with having to provide a variety of different locksets to meet these requirements.
- An object of the present invention is thus to provide a lockset which is multi-purpose and hence is versatile in use.
- the invention in one aspect comprises a lockset having a lock body adapted for the mounting of one or more of a latch and a throw bolt and a means of operating at least one shoot bolt, and an operating mechanism operable by a locking mechanism, said operating mechanism including a primary drive element operable by said locking mechanism and a drive transfer element which transfers drive from the primary drive element to a secondary drive element, said drive transfer element being able to operate a throw bolt and said primary and/or secondary drive elements providing means for operating at least one shoot bolt.
- the operating mechanism also provides a means for preventing movement of an operating handle operatively coupled to the lockset.

- Figures 4-15 are front and rear perspective views of the lockset in partially assembled states
- Figure 16 is a perspective view of the primary drive element
- Figure 17 is a perspective view of the secondary drive element
- Figure 18 is a perspective view of the drive transfer element
- Figure 19 is a perspective view of a key delatch mechanism
- Figure 20 is a perspective view of a latch drive element
- Figure 21 is a perspective view of the latch
- Figure 22 is an elevation view of the lockset in the locking configuration
- Figure ' 23 is a further perspective view of the secondary drive element but in a modified form
- Figure 24 is a perspective view of a further modified form of the secondary drive element
- Figure 25 is a perspective view of a modified form of the primary drive element.
- the lockset according to the embodiment as will be hereinafter described comprises a lock body 10 having a base 11, back wall 12, partial end wall 13 and face plate 14.
- the body 10 is completed by a cover 15.
- the face plate 14 includes an elongate opening 16 for movement therethrough of a throw bolt and a second opening 17 for movement therethrough of a latch 43.
- the base 11 and cover plate 15 respectively include openings 18 and 19 for reception of a standard cylinder lock mechanism (not shown) .
- the primary drive element 20 Slidingly located in body 10 adjacent the opening 18 is the primary drive element 20.
- This comprises a body 21 having an opening 22 at one end for reception of a connecting rod (not shown) for engagement with a shoot bolt (not shown) .
- Extending in an opposite direction is an arm 23 having a spigot 24.
- the distal end 25 of the arm 23 is shaped to engage with a key delatch mechanism as will hereinafter be described.
- body 21 there is a recess 26 in which a follower 27 is slidingly engaged and biased to the position shown in Figure 16 by a small spring S.
- the follower 27 has spigots 28 at each end thereof and these respectively slidingly engage in detent slots 29 in the base 11 and cover 15.
- the primary drive element is shown in position in the body 10 in Figures 5 and 6 and it will be seen that arm 23 slidingly locates on base 11 and has its upper surface aligned with or slightly below the edge of opening 16.
- the end of the body 21 having opening 22 engages within an opening 30 in end wall 13.
- the secondary drive element 31 which is formed by a body having at one end an opening 32 to receive a connecting rod for coupling with a shoot bolt.
- the other end has a flat land 33 which includes an open ended slot 34.
- a hollow portion 35 In the length of the secondary drive element 31 there is a hollow portion 35.
- a drive transfer element 37 which in the illustrated form of the invention is formed as a throw bolt. Projecting transversely either side of the element 37 are spigots 38 which rotatably engage in openings 39 in the respective base 11 and cover 15. As can be seen in Figure 3 the underside of element 37 includes a shaped groove 46 to one side of spigot 38 and to the other side thereof a second spigot 41. Spigot 24 of primary drive element 20 engages in groove 46 while spigot 41 of element 37 engages in the open ended slot 34 of secondary drive element 31.
- a cam or projection of the lock mechanism is engagable with follower 27 when a key is rotated in the lock to carry out a locking procedure.
- Initial contact with the follower 27 causes the follower to move into recess 26 against the bias of spring S followed by the cam or projection of the lock mechanism.
- further rotation of the key causes the primary drive element 20 to slidingly move longitudinally such that the end having opening 22 moves through opening 30 and projects beyond wall 13 (see Figure 22) .
- the rotation of the element 37 causes the end 42 forming the throw bolt to move out through slot 16 (see Figure 22) and into engagement with a striker plate of the closure (eg door) surround.
- the throw bolt in the illustrated arrangement is of a straight configuration it is the preferred form hooked (as shown in Figure 22) so that when the end 42 moves into the opening in the strike plate the hooked end hooks over the edge of the opening in the strike plate.
- a latch 43 is slidingly located in a partitioned area 44 in the lock body 10 to extend through opening 17 in face plate 15. Projecting from the rear of the latch 43 is a projection 45 which engages through an opening 46 in a wall 47 of partitioned area 44.
- a compression spring S engages about projection 45 and locates between the rear surface of latch 43 and the opposing surface of wall 47.
- Projection 45 is provided with a removable flanged end cap 48 allowing removal and rotation by 180° of latch 43 to give opposite closing capability.
- a finger 50 of a latch driver 51 Engaged between wall 47 and the end cap 48 is the distal end 49 of a finger 50 of a latch driver 51.
- the body of the latch driver 51 is provided with a transverse square cross section bore 52 which opens at each side through a turret 53.
- One turret 53 rotationally engages in an opening 54 in cover 15 while the other turret 53 engages through an opening 55 in a key delatch member 56 and into opening 54a in base 11.
- the key delatch member 56 is keyed to the latch driver 51 by lugs 55' in opening 55 engaging in cut-outs 57 in the turret 53 with which the key delatch member 56 is engaged.
- the distal end 58 of a finger 59 of the key delatch mechanism 56 engages between wall 47 and end flange 48 of the latch 43.
- the arrangement of the lugs 55" and the cut-outs 57 in turret 53 is such that when the latch driver 51 is rotated by handles connected to a square shaft extending through bore 52 the key delatch member 56 rotates with the latch driver 51, the key delatch member 56 includes a shoulder 60 with which the distal end 25 of the primary drive element 20 can engage.
- the key can be rotated beyond the position at which unlocking occurs so as to drive the primary drive mechanism 20 further into the body such that the distal end 25 pushes on shoulder 60.
- This movement causes the key delatch member 56 to rotate about the axis of bore 52 relative to the latch driver 51 so as to move the flanged end cap 48 which via projection 45 retracts the latch 43.
- the secondary drive element 31 moves to a position whereby the body of the latch driver 51 engages with flat surface 63 and inclined surface 64 of the secondary drive element 31 thereby preventing the latch driver 51 from being able to be rotated.
- the handles are therefore "frozen" against movement.
- the lockset according to the present invention can be configured in a variety of different ways to suit end purposes and preferences of the user.
- the lockset in the configuration as illustrated and described herein the lockset provides a simple latching function via latch 43 when the lockset is in the unlocked position.
- the primary and secondary drive elements 20 and 31 extend such that connecting rods coupled thereto can drive shoot bolts top and bottom of the door into locking recesses to lock the door at its top and bottom edges.
- the throw bolt 37 projects through opening 16 to engage in the strike while the handles become frozen as a consequence of the inter- engagement of the secondary drive element 31 and the latch driver 51.
- the drive transfer element 37 can be configured to function simply as a drive element. That is, it does not have a portion 42 which upon locking projects through opening 16. Thus the lock simply provides movement of the drive elements to operate shoot bolts and causes the latch 43 to be frozen in the projecting position. Therefore three locking positions are provided.
- the latch mechanism can be dispensed with as can the throw bolt so that the lockset simply operates to move shoot bolts.
- This can be a configuration which is particularly useful with, say, bi-fold doors.
- the drive elements can be configured not to operate shoot bolts and the latch 43 can be dispensed with whereupon locking is achieved simply by the drive transfer element 37 being formed as part of a throw bolt.
- a spigot 65 projects from the main body of the secondary drive element. In the locked position this spigot 65 slides in behind end cap 48 and prevents latch 43 from being retracted. This there prevents latch 43 from being pushed back into the lockset body 10 by a thin lever etc which a person may try to use to force the lock when endeavouring to gain unauthorised entry. It also provides extra strength to the "frozen handle" as resistance to movement is not only dependent on the interaction of surfaces 63 and 64 with the latch driver 51.
- Figures 24 and 25 illustrate truncated versions of the secondary drive element 31 and primary drive element 20 respectively. These truncated versions can be used to provide yet a further configuration of lockset in which coupling to shoot bolts outside the boundary of the body of the lockset is not required.
- the lockset according to the present invention thus provides a means whereby a manufacturer can manufacture a minimum number of elements and then during assembly can configure the lockset to a particular end function requirement.
- the lockset is thus extremely versatile as to its end use functions.
