THOMAS CARPENTER DOWD, Lock Manufacturer, North Street, Wednesfield, do hereby.
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
"This invention consists of the herein described improved construction and
arrangements of the bolts of locks, in carrying out this invention there is what we
will call an extention of the bolt, which when unlocked extends the bolt beyond the
rim of lock, which is intended for locking purposes, after the key has unlocked the
lock, the bolt is then extended through the rim of lock which when required to be
locked can be pressed in with the finger and thus effectually locks it without the use
of the key, but this arrangement does not prevent the lock being locked with the key.
which can be done just as in the ordinary. This invention can also be applied to
work in conjunction with fittings fixed at the back, middle or top of the
lock.
When used at the top of lock (such as for instance sunk hasps) there can be fixed
in the plate a hook which will go through the hole of the hasps and the stump fixed
to the bolt (or vice versa) which slides along a hole or incission at the back of the
lock, so as when the bolt is pressed in or locked these two close together so as to
securely hold anything it is attached to.
When used in the middle or center there are two incissions or pieces taken out of
the plates so as to allow the staple which is required to enter, and when placed in
the required possition the bolt is pressed hoine from the side of the lock thus
secureing the staple to the lock.
When used from the top, the ordinary pad lock shackle can be used, by putting
the spoon end of the said shackle into the lock, the bolt is then pressed from the rim
or side of the lock by means of the extention on the bolt or it can be locked in the
ordinary way with the.key, thus providing an additional and more convenient way of
locking the lock without the use of key if required.
'
This invention is also applicable to the scarboro trunk locks or any other outside
lock where the bolt can be made to extend through the rim of lock.

following statement:-
Which consists in a lock to be locked with or without a key, the way in which
this is obtained is by a special hook and bolt, which works in conjunction with each
other for locking purposes, the hook is situated at the back of lock see Fig. 2
marked A which is riveted in or cast on the plate; the said hook can be applied to
go through any kind of staple, either sunk or otherwise or it can be made with the
ordinary shackle with the hook on the end so that the bolt is situated on the said
hook when locked. The bolt is made so as to extend beyond the rim see Fig. 2
marked B or edge of lock, the said extention is used for locking purposes which by
simply pressing it in effectualy locks the lock without the use of the key at all.
When applied to sunk hasps such as are used for Scarboro Locks &ct there is what is
called a projecting stump see Fig. 2 marked C on the bolt which comes through a
longitudinal slot or hole, in the back of lock which comes up to the said hook
described above thus effectualy secuering anything which may be required to be
locked.
.
Having now particularly described the nature of our said Invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is :-
་
