Definitions
- the present invention relates to a locking device, in particular a locking device for use with closure members such as doors and windows.
- Exterior sliding doors are common place in houses or apartments and generally take the form of patio doors allowing an occupier entry to a patio, garden or balcony. Sliding windows are also installed in the house however less frequently than sliding doors. A fundamental problem with these sliding doors and windows is lack of security. It is relatively easy for a person to lever a sliding door/window upwards, thereby lifting the door/window off it's runner and providing an entry gap at the base of a door through which a small person for example a child can fit. That person is then free to unlock and open windows or doors where possible, allowing other persons to enter. Alternatively, the smaller person passes articles of value out through the gap at the base of the sliding door.
- a sliding door and frame set is incorporated into a building in Ireland the sliding door is placed exterior the fixed member.
- a handle positioned on the sliding member that abuts the vertical member of the frame.
- a locking mechanism which locks the door to the frame is incorporated adjacent the handle.
- the locking mechanism comprises a lock that prevents the sliding member from being slid into an open position however it does not prevent the sliding member from being lifted upwards.
- Figure 2 is a cross-sectional side view of the upper end of the locking device of Figure 1 in an open position
- Figure 3 is a cross-sectional side view of the upper end of the locking device of Figure 1 in a closed position
- Figure 4 is a front view of the upper end of the locking device of Figure 1 in an open position
- Figure 5 is a front view of the upper end of the locking device of Figure 1 in a closed position
- Figure 6 is a front view of a sliding door with the locking device of the invention attached
- Figure 8 is a front view of a second embodiment of a locking device according to the invention with the locking elements in the open position;
- Figure 8A is a rear view of the second embodiment of locking device shown in Figure 8;
- Figure 9 is a front view of the second embodiment of locking device with the locking elements in the closed position;
- Figure 9A is a rear view of the second embodiment of locking device as shown in Figure 9;
- Figure 9B is a second rear view of the second embodiment of locking device with the operating handle removed.
- Figure 10 is an enlarged front view of the operating handle of the second embodiment.
- FIG. 10 a perspective view of the locking device indicated generally by the reference numeral 10.
- an activation means comprising a locking handle 1, a connecting rod 2, a washer 3 and a turning mechanism (not shown) contained within housing 4.
- the housing 4 is secured to the vertical edge 9 of the fixed member central the interior of the frame of the sliding door apparatus by means of screws 5.
- Two u-shaped lengths 6 protrude from opposite sides of the housing 4.
- the U-shaped lengths 6 comprise the vertical locking elements and are further held securely in position by bracket 7 and screws 8.
- both vertical locking elements 6 travel to their maximum distances when the handle 1 is turned through an angle ⁇ of 180°.
- the invention is not limited to the handle 1 being turned through 180°, for example, in an alternative embodiment, it may be advantageous for the handle 1 to turn through an angle of 360° to achieve the maximum distance travelled by the vertical locking element 6.
- FIG 2 is a cross sectional side view of the upper end of the locking device 10 of Figure 1 attached to the vertical edge 9 of the fixed member central the interior frame of the sliding door apparatus. Also seen in Figure 2 is the upper end of the sliding member 30, there is a panel 33 contained within the centre of the sliding panel. This panel may be composed of a heavy duty acrylic plastics material or a material that is suitable and is known to a person skilled in the art.
- the horizontal support member 20 of the frame retains both the fixed member and the sliding member 30 in position.
- the fixed member and the sliding member 30 contain keepers 11 and 31 respectively that are formed out of the upper surfaces. Runners 22 and 23 on the horizontal support member 20 of the frame fit into the keepers 11 and 31.
- the fixed member is further secured by an outer lip 21b present of the horizontal support member 20 of the frame whilst the sliding member 30 is further secured by an outer lip 21a horizontal support member 20 of the frame.
- the turning mechanism contained within the housing 4 pushes the upper vertical locking member 6 upwards.
- the horizontal locking element 17 protrudes from the upper vertical locking member 6.
- the horizontal locking element 17 is secured to the vertical edge 9 of the fixed member by means of a screw 15 and spring 16, where the spring is attached to the horizontal locking element 17 by means of a screw 17a.
- the screw 17a also secures the horizontal locking element 17 to the upper vertical locking member 6. Therefore as the upper vertical locking member 6 moves in an upward direction so too does the horizontal locking element 17.
- the horizontal locking element 17 engages with the keepers 32 in the sliding member 30.
- Figure 3 is a cross sectional side view of the upper end of the locking device 10 of figure 1 in a "locked" position, where both the vertical locking element 6 and the horizontal locking element 17 are engaged with the keepers on the horizontal support member 20 of the frame and the sliding member 30 respectively.
- the horizontal locking element 17 connects the vertical locking element 6 to the sliding member 30.
- the vertical locking element secures the sliding member 30 to the fixed member thus prevents the sliding element from moving along the runner 23.
- the horizontal locking element also prevents the sliding member 30 from moving in an upwards or downwards direction thus prevents the sliding member from being lifted off the runner 23.
- Figure 4 is a front view of the upper end of the locking device of figure 1 in an open position
- figure 5 is a front view of the upper end of the locking device of figure 1 in a closed position
- the keepers 22a positioned on the runner 22 attached to the horizontal support member 20 of the frame is clearly shown.
- the vertical locking element 6 is attached to the vertical edge 9 of the fixed member using bracket 7 and screws 8.
- Figure 4 shows the vertical locking element 6 in an open position.
- the activation means pushes the vertical locking element 6 continually upwards until the vertical locking element reaches the final "locked" position seen in figure 5 where the leading edge 6a enters the keeper 22a and abuts the horizontal support member 20 of the frame.
- the vertical locking member 6 cannot move to either the left or right of the frame as it is attached to the fixed member of the sliding door apparatus, however the runner 22 with keeper 22a acts as a further method of preventing movement of the vertical locking member 6.
- the locking device 10 operates in a similar way.
- the preferred embodiment contains two horizontal locking elements, one horizontal locking element attached to the upper vertical locking element and one horizontal locking element attached to the lower vertical locking element. Both horizontal locking elements operate in the same way.
- the invention is not limited to this number of horizontal and vertical locking elements, if preferred the invention may have one or a plurality of horizontal and vertical locking elements. Further advantages of this locking device are that the locking device is non accessible from the exterior and does not have to have a traditional lock and key mechanism.
- the locking device is positioned on the vertical edge 9 of the fixed member, where the fixed member is positioned interior the sliding member.
- the invention could posses an activation means that is operated by a key, however as the locking device is positioned on the interior, a person cannot gain access to the key insert to pick it in order to deactivate the locking device.
- the activator 40 comprises a pinion 42, racks 44 and 45, pivotal handle 46, locking pin 47 and retaining orifice 48.
