Granted: 1905-02-16
Abstract: 25,794. Deissenrieder, G. A. Nov. 26 Electrically-cont r o l l e d fastenings.- ReJates to a door spring, the main operating-lever of which winds up a secondary spring during the opening of the door, in readiness to withdraw the bolt or latch of the closed door when an electric circuit is closed. To open the door, the circuit of the electromagnet 16, Figs. 1 and 2, is first closed. By this means, the pivoted armature plate 15, controlled by a spring 19, rotates its projection 17 clear of the arm 13. The arm 13 is carried by an axle 9, a tappet 10 on which projects into the path of the arm 7 and is adapted to be rotated in one direction by a small spring 11 and in the other by a flat spring 12. The arm 7, connected to the bolt on the door lock, is then rotated by a horizontal helical spring 8, and with it is rotated the arm 13, a recess 14 therein permitting the downward movement behind the armature plate 15. By this means, the bolt is withdrawn or the latch raised. On now opening the door, the longer end of the lever 1 winds up the closing- spring 5, while the shorter arm winds up the secondary spring 8 by rotating the pivoted lever 7 through a horizontally-pivoted lever 6 as shown in Fig. 6. When the lever 1 reaches the position shown in full lines in Fig. 6, the arm 7 has returned to its original position, and the arm 13 has been returned by the spring 11, a curved surface of its aperture 14 allowing the projection 17 of the armature plate to pass upwards. The springs 5, 8 are adjusted by ratchet-wheels 20, 21 controlled by spring-pressed pins.

If desired, the spring may be laminated, the ends of the laminations being free or opened out as shown in Fig. 4, while, in lieu of slotting the ends of the tube a, it may be formed with flattened sides, or with inwardlyprojecting notches, or with guides formed by pressing inwards the parts between pairs of parallel transverse slits made on each side of the handle. The tube is preferably covered with a celluloid or like grip f, fixed thereto by a screw specially provided for the purpose, or by the screw e which secures the tube against longitudinal and rotational movement upon the handle-bar. When the grip is shorter than the handle, the outer end is flanged or turned over the end of the handle, while if the grip is of the same length as the handle both ends are turned over. The spring may be screwed or riveted to the tube a, or it may be retained in position by being passed through an inwardly projecting staple or loop formed by depressing the part between two parallel slits in the tube. The spring may also be so shaped or used in conjunction with one or more springs acting on the underside of the handle-bar as to preserve the handle concentric with the handlebar. The outer end of the tube a may be closed by a disk, while, instead of being formed as a complete tube, it may be made of two troughshaped pieces secured together, this method being specially applicable to the steering - wheels of motor-cars. Coil springs may be used in lieu of bow or laminated springs. According to the Provisional Specification, the connexion between the handle and handle-bar may be such that the relative motion between these parts is slightly angular.
