Title: Improvements in Door and Window Fastenings.
Inventor: FOX HUMPHREY
Filed: 1904-02-17
Granted: 1904-12-22
Abstract: 3937. Fox, H., and Whale, J. Feb. 17. Catches, spring; latches; sliding bolts; sash and like fastenings; locks, key.-Draw-back night &c, latches and locks are secured in their latched, unlatched, or locked positions by means of a stop or stops fixed to the case, and co-operating with a suitably-shaped plate, which is pivoted on the bolt, and attached to the usual handle. The plate A, Fig. 1, may be fixed to a squared part a<1> of the handle shank a, which is mounted to rotate in the tail of the bolt B, and passes through the usual slot in the case. A slot c receives the fixed stop d, and permits movement of the latch bolt when in the position shown, but, by turning the plate, the stud is caused to engage either in a concentric slot e or against a slightly-eccentric edge f to secure it in either the latched or unlatched position. The slot e is preferably made slightly eccentric at g, to prevent accidental displacement of the plate. The rotation of the plate is limited by the end of the slot e, or by a shoulder f<1>. The slot c may be closed at its outer end, and an outer slot having its edge at f be provided. The stop may be on the opposite side of the handle shank a to that shown. Figs. 5 and 7 show other forms of plates, adapted to co-operate with two fixed stops j, k or o, m. The rotation of the plate C is limited in the form shown in Fig. 5 by fixed studs b<1>, and in Fig. 7 by shoulders on the plate itself. For latches which can also be locked, a plate is employed somewhat similar to that shown in Fig. 1, but provided with an additional slightly-eccentric slot between the slot e and edge f. The inner slot is then used in securing the bolt in the locked, and the outer edge in securing it in the unlatched position, or vice versÔ, according to the relative positions of the stud d and shank a, while the intermediate slot holds the bolt in the latched position.
