Definitions

  • This invention relates to a bolt housing attachment, and in particular to an attachment for a bolt housing which is, or is to be, morticed into a panel (such bolt housings being referred to herein as "mortice bolt housings").
  • the invention also relates to an assembly of the attachment and a suitable keeper, and to a bolt housing fitted with such an attachment.
  • the invention is likely to find its greatest utility in relation to mortice bolt housings for hinged panels such as doors which are intended to be secured relative to fixed frames, and the following description will therefore refer primarily to such use.
  • the securement together of two panels which are both movable, and/or the securement of a slidable panel where appropriate, is not thereby excluded.
  • Bolt housings which are morticed into door panels are known.
  • the housing carries a bolt which is movable by an actuator located within the housing, the bolt being movable between extended and retracted positions.
  • the actuator may be operated by a handle or thumb turn (located upon the surface of the door), and/or by a lock mechanism located partially or fully within the housing, there being a keyhole communicating the housing with the surface of the door for insertion of a key into the lock mechanism.
  • the bolt in its extended position projects from the housing (and from the morticed recess in the door) and is engageable with a keeper fitted to the frame.
  • Conventional mortice bolt housings usually have a bolt which is substantially flat-ended, but some have (or also have) a latch with a chamferred edge, which latch can automatically engage the keeper and so retain the panel relative to the frame upon panel closure movement.
  • WO97/01690 designed for surface mounting upon a panel.
  • a bolt unit having a housing from which a bolt can project, the housing carrying a receptor.
  • the bolt has a two-stage movement, the first stage moving the bolt adjacent the receptor, the second stage moving the bolt into the receptor.
  • the keeper is effectively coupled to the bolt such that forcing of the panel away from its frame is hindered or prevented.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a bolt housing attachment which is fitable to an existing or new mortice bolt housing so as to benefit from the "receptor" function of my copending application.
  • the present invention provides an attachment which can be fitted to a mortice bolt housing, or to a panel in which the existing mortice bolt housing is located, to increase the resistance to unauthorised forcing of the panel away from the frame.
  • a bolt housing attachment the bolt housing having a bolt which is movable in the direction of the bolt longitudinal axis between a retracted position and an extended position, the attachment having a fixing plate and a lock plate, the lock plate having a wall adapted to lie alongside a part of the bolt in its extended condition, the lock plate being spaced from the fixing plate in the direction of the longitudinal axis.
  • the lock plate has at least one other wall adapted to lie alongside a part of the bolt in its extended position; preferably also said wall and said other wall are connected together.
  • the spacing of the lock plate from the fixing plate can be approximately the same as the throw of the bolt, the throw being defined as the distance between the retracted and extended positions of the bolt. Alternatively, the spacing can be less than the throw of the bolt, so that the extreme end of the bolt passes through the lock plate in the extended position of the bolt.
  • the extreme end of the bolt will be flush with the face of the bolt housing in its retracted position, so that the throw of the bolt is also the maximum distance by which the bolt can project from the face of the housing.
  • the face of the bolt housing will typically be flush with the edge surface of the panel, and so the throw of the bolt will typically correspond to the maximum distance by which the bolt can project from the edge surface of the panel.
  • the fixing plate can preferably be secured directly to the housing, or alternatively indirectly secured relative to the housing by way of the edge surface of the panel. Since in the fitted condition the lock plate will be spaced from the edge surface of the panel by a distance no greater than the throw of the bolt, in its extended position a part of the bolt will enter, and perhaps project through, the lock plate.
  • the spacing between the lock plate and the fixing plate permits the entry of a part of a keeper between the lock plate and the edge surface of the panel, the said part of the keeper having an aperture to receive a part of the bolt. Accordingly, when fully assembled and operational, the bolt can be extended to pass through the keeper aperture to lie alongside the attachment wall (or perhaps into or through the attachment lock plate aperture); attempted unauthorised forcing of the panel relative to the frame will thereafter be resisted by the attachment and the bolt linking the attachment to the keeper.

  • a lock attachment 40 Secured to the edge surface 32 of the housing 30 is a lock attachment 40, the lock attachment having a pair of fixing plates 42a and 42b, and a lock plate 44 (as better seen in Fig.4).
  • the fixing plates 42a,b have bolt or screw holes 46 (preferably countersunk) by which the fixing plates 42a,b (and thus the attachment 40) is secured to the edge surface 20.

  • the fixing plates will typically be above and below the lock plate in the orientation of use as shown in Fig.2, taking advantage of the large vertical dimension of the door and not relying upon fixation to the small horizontal dimension of the edge surface 20; however, in thicker doors the fixing plate or plates can alternatively or additionally be located horizontally spaced from the fixing plate.
  • the lock plate 44 and fixing plates 42a,b are interconnected by connecting parts 56, which in this embodiment lie substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis A-A of the bolt 34.
  • the plane of the lock plate 44 is spaced from the plane of the fixing plates 42a,b by a distance s which is less than the throw t of the bolt 34, so that as shown in Fig.2 when the bolt 34 is moved to its extended position it enters the aperture 50 in the lock plate 44.
  • keeper lock plate 60 When the door is in the closed condition as shown in Fig.2, keeper lock plate 60 is located between the attachment lock plate 44 and the edge surface 20. As better seen in Fig.3, the keeper lock plate 60 is an integral part of the keeper 62, and upstands from base 64.

  • the keeper 62 has a wall 70 which surrounds the opening 66; the wall 70 is connected to the base 64 to provide structural strength to the keeper.
  • the latch 54 is not an essential requirement of the bolt housing, but is fitted to many of the presently available mortice bolt housings. Thus, it is desirable that the lock attachment and keeper can accommodate such latch. Accordingly, as above indicated the fixing plate 42b has an opening 52 through which the latch can project into latching engagement with keeper aperture 72.
  • the latch 54 is chamferred in known fashion, and as the door is moved to its closed position the chamferred edge (not seen) rides up the keeper surface 74, which acts to press the latch 54 back into the housing 30, the latch springing from the housing as it becomes aligned with the aperture 72, in known fashion.
  • the fixing plate 42b can terminate short of the latch, so that an aperture is not required therefor; however, it is preferred that the fixing plate extend beyond the latch for mortice bolt housings for which a latch is fitted, so as to provide increased strength for the attachment (since in practice the spacing between the latch and the bolt is often small - perhaps 2 cm or less) .
  • the fixing plate(s) can be secured by welding directly to the bolt housing, and such securement is likely to be most suitable for fitment as original equipment.
  • the fixing plate(s) can alternatively be secured to a new or existing housing by screws or bolts, notwithstanding that this will require the provision of suitable threaded holes in the housing.
  • the fixing plate(s) can extend beyond the housing so as to be securable directly to the edge surface of the panel, as in the embodiment of Fig.2).
  • the keeper 62 has keeper fixing plates 76 with countersunk screw or bolt holes 78, by way of which it may be secured to the frame 12.
  • the bolts or screws (not shown) which are used to secure the keeper 62 to the frame 12 may be elongated so as to pass completely through the frame 12 and into the wall 16, offering considerable resistance against movement of the keeper 62.
  • the keeper lock plate 60 has a number of ( in this embodiment four) connected walls 82 which together define an aperture 80 through which the bolt 34 can pass, in known fashion.
  • the door 10 is moved to its closed condition.
  • the keeper lock plate aperture 80 is aligned with the attachment lock plate aperture 50 and with the path of movement of the bolt 34.
  • the bolt 34 is then moved to its extended position (Fig.2), passing through the keeper plate aperture 80 and also through the attachment lock plate aperture 50. Thereafter, the resistance to movement of the door 10 (as by a jemmy) will be considerably increased over a prior art mortice bolt housing and keeper arrangement.
  • the fixing plate(s) (particularly for an attachment for an existing bolt housing) must be accommodated in the gap between the edge surface 20 and the frame 12, it is necessary that this plate (these plates) be of small dimension (in the direction of the axis A-A); however, it is expected that a (metallic) fixing plate of greater than 2 mm thickness could provide adequate strength for the vast majority of requirements, whilst a fixing plate of up to 5 mm thickness should be able to be accommodated in the gap between the (door) edge surface 20 and frame 12 in a large proportion of cases.
  • the frame can be rebated as necessary.
  • the edge surface can be rebated to receive the fixing plate(s), so that only the lock plate and connecting parts project beyond the edge surface, which parts can be accommodated in a suitable rebate created in the frame.
  • mortice bolt housings have a bolt throw of at least 14 mm, though some have a throw of only 12 mm; new legislation in the European Union for example however seeks to set a standard of 20 mm or 25 mm for the throw of a bolt of a mortice bolt housing.
  • the attachment is intended to be suitable for use with many or all of the available mortice bolt housings, and even with the smallest of the above throws it is possible to accommodate a keeper lock plate of 5 mm thickness between the edge surface and the attachment lock plate, and still be able to receive the bolt in an aperture of the attachment lock plate.
  • a mortice bolt housing providing a longer throw the ability to achieve greater clearance between the relatively moving parts of the keeper and lock attachment will be increased without impairing the strength thereof.
  • the throw t of the bolt 34 is such that the extreme end of the bolt passes through the aperture 50 in its extended position (Fig.2).
  • the throw of the bolt is smaller, or the spacing between the lock plate and the fixing plate is increased, so that the end of the bolt does not pass through the lock plate.
  • the lock plate it would be possible for the lock plate to have a recess for receiving the end of the bolt, rather than an aperture therethrough.
  • attachment lock plate 44 locates behind the keeper lock plate 60 when the panel is in its closed condition, the jemmying of the panel so as to increase the gap between the panel edge surface 20 and the frame 12 (as when an attempt is made to release the bolt from the keeper lock plate aperture 80) will be resisted by engagement between the attachment lock plate 44 and the keeper lock plate 60.
  • the lock plate attachment can have a cover plate secured thereto so as to conceal the keeper lock plate when in use.
  • the cover plate could be fitted so as to span and conceal the area between the connecting parts 56, so as to obscure the keeper lock plate 60 and much of the bolt 34.
