Title: Improvements in Drawer Locks.
Inventor: MUREAU DESIRE
IPC: E05B65/46
Filed: 1914-05-18
Granted: 1914-12-03
Abstract: 12,228. Mureau, D. May 19, 1913, [Convention date]. Locks, permutation.- A lock for drawers comprises a series of drawbars 12 each carrying a wedge-shaped block 10, which is linked to the bar and is capable of occupying a forward or a backward position as shown in Fig. 3. The bolt 6 of the drawer is pivoted on a shaft 8 and is normally secured against being rocked by means of a rod 9 held against the lower end of the bolt by those of the blocks 10 that are in a forward position on the draw-bars. By actuating these draw-bars, the rod 9 is lowered and the bolt can be rocked to release the drawer by pulling the handle 2. If any of the other draw-bars be operated, the rod 9 is retained in its raised position to lock the bolt. The nose 5 of the bolt is slidably mounted in the body 6 under the control of a spring to allow for the automatic locking of the drawer when it is closed. When a draw-bar is operated, a pin 14 on its underside actuates a bar 15 pivotally carried by arms 16, and this in turn operates a hook 17 which causes the hammer 22 to strike a gong. A spring 18 returns the bar 15, and, simultaneously, any of the draw-bars 12 that have been operated, to their normal positions. In a modified construction, the bolt 6 slides instead of rocks and works directly on the inclines of the blocks 10, the rod 9 being dispensed with. The blocks 10, instead of being linked to the bars 12, may be pivoted thereto, as by the pins 14<1> shown in Fig. 9; they are then rotated to change the combination as indicated in dotted lines. A damper 23 may be provided for the gong, operated by a pushbutton 24 concealed amongst a number of other buttons of similar appearance.. A device for blocking the movement of the bar 15, and therefore preventing the operating of the lock, may also be provided, actuated by a button similar to the button 24.
