MORE BRISCOE Carriage Manufacturer
9 and 10 Summer Hill Dublin Ireland do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
I propose the construction of a sliding bolt made of metal, section of which
may be flat, square, round or any suitable shape secured in and worked by lever
action, in and through eyes or slots in a face plate, said face plate being rigidly
attached in a suitable manner and position to one section of the door or drawer,
the bolt which will have an angular or hook formation at one end or one or more
intermittent points will at one stroke or push of lever engage with or disengage
from a suitable eye, slot, catch or keeper affixed to each of the different compart-
ments thereby simultaneously and securely locking or opening same. The bolt is
especially suitable for the fastening of the doors and drawers of bread vans.

Improvements in Bolts or Fastenings for Doors and Drawers of
Vehicles.
I, JOSEPH NIALL MACOGHLAN MORE BRISCOE of 9 and 10 Summer Hill
Dublin, Ireland, Carriage Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention has reference to a new or improved sliding bolt of simple
construction and convenient and efficient in action for use in connection with doors
and drawers of bread vans, railway carriages, and such like vehicles.
In carrying out my invention I propose to form the bolt of suitable size and
material, the section of which may be flat, square, round or any suitable shape,
secured in and worked by lever action in and through eyes or slots in a face
plate.
The nature and application of my said invention will be more readily understood
by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which,
Fig. 1, is a vertical elevation of the improved sliding bolt detached.
Fig. 2, is a side view of same, and,
Fig. 3, is a view illustrating its application to an ordinary delivery bread van.
Similiar letters indicate corresponding parts in each of the several views.
A, is a plate which is first attached to the off door of the van, portion of which
projects over the edge so as to overlap the edge of the near door when closed.

page_text: Over this plate slides a second plate B (which constitutes the locking bolt) by
means of slots C engaging with bolts C¹.
The upper end of this plate is doubled over as shewn for the purpose presently
described.
On the upper rail of the van frame is a cross plate D, at the back of which is
a suitable slot in which the doubled over end of the sliding plate B engages, and
on the lower rail of the van frame is a cross plate E in which the lower end of
the sliding plate engages.
A suitable handle F is fixed on the sliding plate to facilitate its working.
The action of my invention is obvious.
In order to secure the doors and drawer of the van the sliding plate B is shot
downwards so as to cause its doubled over end to engage the cross plate D while
its lower end shooting through the cross plate E engages the face of the drawer F.
An upward movement of the sliding plate releases both doors, and also the drawer.
Thus by one movement of the sliding plate not only the two doors, but also the
drawer are simultaneously secured.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that. what I
claim is :-
The use and application of a sliding bolt or fastener for doors and drawers of
vehicles, especially applicable to bread delivery vans, constructed, arranged, and
operating in the manner substantially as herein specified and set forth.
Dated this 12th day of January 1897.
