IMPROVEMENTS IN SAFES AND STRONG ROOM DOORS
Year: 1884

page_text: I GEORGE OGDEN TALBOT of Blews Street Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN SAFES AND STRONG ROOM DOORS to be as follows:-
This invention consists in a new mode of securing safes and strong room doors.
To effect this I attach to each jamb or side of the frame of the door lugs or sockets
by means of a screw piece so that they can be adjusted as required with regard to
their projection from the frame. Upon the back of the door I place bolts or bars
working across the door and connected with the handle by a rod in the usual way
to cause the bolts or bars to rise and fall. At the ends of these bolts or bars are
projecting pieces which fit into the before mentioned sockets on the side of the
frame so that when the door is closed it is securely fastened, & the turning of
the handle raises the bolts crossing the back of the door and lifts them free of the
sockets.

IMPROVEMENTS IN SAFES AND STRONG ROOM DOORS and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the

This invention consists in a new mode of securing safes and strong room doors
To effect this I attach to each jamb or side of the frame of the door lugs or sockets
by means of a screw piece so that they can be adjusted as required with regard to
their projection from the frame.
Upon the back of the door I place bolts or bars working across the door and
connected with the handle by a rod in the usual way to cause the bolts or bars to
rise and fall.
At the ends of these bolts or bars are projecting pieces which fit into the before
mentioned sockets on the side of the frame so that when the door is closed it is
securely fastened and the turning of the handle raises the bolts crossing the back
of the door and lifts them free of the sockets.
Referring to the accompanying drawing which represents a safe with the door
open and the casing taken off the back of the door to expose the bolts, (a a) are
the bolt working across the door and connected with the handle by the rods (b b)
so as to cause the bolts (a a) to rise and fall when the turning of the handle moves
the bar (c) in the ordinary way. (dd) are the projecting pieces which fit onto the
lugs or sockets (e e) which are attached to the jambs or sides of the frame.
"
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
Firstly. The securing safe and strong room doors by means of bolts working
across (from side to side or top to bottom of) the door the bolts moving in parallel
lines and having snugs or projections letting into sockets on the jambs or sides of
the frame.
Secondly. I claim screwing the lugs or sockets into the jambs or sides of the
frame so as to make them adjustable to the length of the bolts.
