Patent GB-190811950-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Locks for Railway Carriage Doors and the like.
Inventor: SCHALLER OTTO
Filed: 1908-06-02
Granted: 1908-08-20
Abstract: 11,950. Schaller, O. June 3, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Fastenings, railway-carriage door; latches.-In fastenings for the doors of railway carriages, train and motor cars, &c., the bolt is under the control of a strong spring which is released therefrom when the handle is turned and is re-set by the opening of the door. The bolt may be of any ordinary type, but, as shown, is pivoted on the vertical pin 2 and is provided with the engaging surface 5. The bolt is connected by a link 4 and lever 13 to a rod 14, the other end of which is guided by a link 16 and which carries cross-bars 17, 18 on which is slidably mounted a casing 15. A strong spring 20 is mounted on the rod 14, located between the cross-bar 17 and a partition 19 in the casing 15. The casing 15 is prevented from acting under the pressure of the spring 20 by means of a lever 24, pivoted at 29, the end of which bears against the end of the casing, the whole force of the spring being thus directed to the latch 1 through the intermediate levers. When the handle is turned to unlatch the door, the first movement trips up the lever 24 and thereby releases the casing 15, which springs forwards until the partition 19 is in contact with the bar 18, and thus relieves the latch from pressure, after which further movement of the handle withdraws the latch by means of the follower 31. A spring 32 may be provided to assist in withdrawing the latch. The latch is held in the withdrawn position by means of a catch 10. As the door is opened, a hook 22 pivotably mounted on the casing engages the hooked end 21 of the casing 15 and draws this back sufficiently far to re-set the spring and to allow the lever 24 to fall into position. The hook 22 may then be released by a projection 23 on the door frame. As the door is closed, the catch 10 is released by the striking- plate, and the spring 20 throws the latch forward in the usual manner. It is stated that the lever 24 may be operated from a distance by electricity, and that the spring 20 may be re-set by the second part of the opening of the door, or by the closing of the door. Also that the device may be arranged on the door frame, and the means for setting the spring on the door.
