Description
- The present invention relates to latch bolt assemblies and more particularly to latch bolt assemblies wherein operation of the latch is prevented in a certain condition, such as during a fire, in order to prevent the spread of the fire upon the opening of a door.
- Latch bolt mechanisms are well known in the art and include latch bolts that are slidably or pivotably received in a door and are actuated by a handle mechanism that is either pivotably or rotatably mounted on the door.
- Latch bolt assemblies are known which include a blocking member for preventing opening of the door in the case of a fire. U.S. Patent 3,705,739 discloses a door latch mechanism in which a blocking pin is carried in the handle housing and is held in a retracted position by a fusible washer. In the event of a fire, the fusible washer will melt and the pin, which is spring loaded, will extend into the latch bolt to prevent it from retracting from the striker housing.
- U.S. Patent 3,811,717 discloses a latch bolt mechanism in which the latch bolt slidably moves in the handle housing and a pivotable plate member, which is normally held in a non-blocking position by a fusible pin, is caused to move into a blocking position in engagement with the latch bolt upon a melting of the pin. An end of the blocking plate engages a head of the latch bolt.
- U.S. Patent RE 30,263 discloses a catch mechanism in which a pivotable catch member carried on the door carries a spring loaded plunger which is held in a retracted position by a fusible plug. During a fire, the plug will melt and the pin will be urged into a recess in the catch mechanism casing to prevent retraction of the catch member from the casing mechanism.
- U.S. Patent 4,007,954 discloses a latch bolt mechanism in which a pivotable plate member, which is normally held in a non-blocking position by a fusible pin, is caused to drop, by operation of gravity, into a position wherein an end of the plate engages an actuating lever extending between the handle and the latch bolt.
- U.S. Patent 4,003,593 discloses a latch bolt mechanism in which a spring loaded pin is held in a recessed position in a housing, below the handle mechanism and, upon the melting of a retaining pin, the blocking pin will move upwardly into engagement with the handle mechanism to prevent operation of the handle.
- The present invention provides a latch bolt assembly in which the latch bolt is slidable in a housing. A handle mechanism is operable to effect a sliding of the latch bolt. A blocking member is selectively moveable to a blocking position upon the melting of a fusible member which normally is engageable with a blocking member to hold the blocking member in a non-blocking position. Biasing means are engageable with the blocking member to urge the blocking member into the blocking position upon melting of the fusible member.
- In a particular embodiment of the invention, the blocking member is a pivotable member which is selectively movable to a blocking position to engage a portion of the handle. A spring is provided to bias the blocking member into the blocking position. The handle mechanism is pivotally mounted to a mounting plate and the fusible member extends between the blocking member and the mounting plate. Once the fusible member melts, the blocking member will pivot into a position to block further movement of the handle. However, the latch bolt remains free to move, even after the blocking member moves into the blocking position. Thus, a handle on the opposite side of the door could be actuated to open the door.
- In a second embodiment of the invention, the blocking member is slidably carried in the latch bolt itself. The blocking member moves perpendicular to a sliding direction of the bolt once the fusible member, which may be in the form of a pin, melts. A coil spring is provided to bias the blocking member in the blocking direction. Preferably, the blocking member is carried in a plug mounted to the latch bolt and the fusible member extends between the blocking member and the plug. The housing containing the latch bolt has an opening through a side wall thereof and the blocking member, upon melting of the fusible member, moves to a position to protrude through the opening to effect the blocking of the latch bolt, that is, to prevent retraction of the latch bolt.

- FIG. 7 is a partial sectional view taken along line the line VII-VII of FIG. 6.
- In FIG. 1 there is illustrated a latch bolt assembly generally at 10 which is mounted in a
door 12. Thelatch bolt assembly 10 comprises alatch bolt 14 slidable in a housing 16 (FIGS. 2-4 ). Thelatch bolt housing 16 is secured in thedoor 12 by a plate 18 andappropriate fasteners 20 such as screws. - A
handle mechanism 22 is provided to affect sliding of thelatch bolt 16. A mounting plate 24 (FIGS. 5-7) is secured to aface 26 of thedoor 12 byappropriate fasteners 28 such asscrews 28. Themounting plate 24 has a pair ofupstanding walls 30 which receive apivot pin 32 which also proceeds through thehandle mechanism 22. Thus, the handle mechanism is pivotally mounted to themounting plate 24. Acover plate 33 attached to themounting plate 24 to enclose the operating portion of the latch bolt assembly. - The
handle mechanism 22 includes aprojection 34 extending from thepivot pin 32, which projection is engageable with anactuating lever 36. The actuatinglever 36 is pivotally mounted in a direction perpendicular to the pivotal mounting of thehandle mechanism 22. Pivoting of thehandle mechanism 22 will cause a perpendicular pivoting of theactuator 36. Theactuator 36 includes a projectingarm 38 which is engageable in an opening 40 in thelatch bolt housing 16 such that thearm 38 will engage with a portion of the latch bolt causing the latch bolt to slide in a reciprocating manner upon operation of thehandle mechanism 22. - Positioned within the
latch bolt housing 16 is a biasing means 40 in the form of a coil spring which presses against acap 42 secured to thehousing 16 by appropriate means, such as acrimp connection 44. Anopposite end 46 of thespring 40 presses against aplug 48 which is secured to thelatch bolt 14 by appropriate fastening means such as acrimp connection 50. Thespring 40 is sized so as to continuously bias thelatch bolt 14 into a position protruding out of the door. In such a position theplug 48 will be exposed through the opening 40 in the housing. Thearm 38 of theactuator 36 will press against aface 52 of the plug in order to overcome the bias of thespring 40 to retract thelatch bolt 14 into the door. - The present invention provides a means for preventing unlatching of the latch bolt assembly under high temperature conditions, such as during a fire. In a first embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIGS. 2-4, a blocking
member 60A is carried in thelatch bolt 14 and is held in a non-blocking position by afusible element 62A. In this embodiment, the blockingmember 60A is a pin carried in abore 64 in theplug 48. Thepin 60A andbore 64 are arranged so that thepin 60A will move radially outwardly to project thepin 60A into the opening 40 in thehousing 16 upon melting of thefusible element 62A. Thefusible element 62A extends through the blockingpin 60A and is held in theplug member 48. A biasing means 66A in the form of a coil spring is provided in thebore 64 to urge the blockingmember 60A into a projecting blocking position upon melting of thefusible member 62A. When the blockingmember 60A is in the protruding, blocking position, attempts to retract thelatch bolt 14 into the door will be prevented since thepin 60A will engage aside wall 68 of the opening 40, thus preventing further retraction of thelatch bolt 14. - A second embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIGS. 5-7 wherein a blocking
member 60B is held in a non-blocking position by afusible member 62B. In this embodiment the blockingmember 60B is a plate-like member having apivot pin 70 extending through aface 72 thereof, theface 72 being engageable with theprojection 34 of thehandle mechanism 22 when the blockingmember 60B is in a blocking position illustrated by dotted lines in FIGS. 5 and 6. A biasing means 66B in the form of a spring is provided to urge the blockingmember 60B into the blocking position upon melting of thefusible member 62B. In this embodiment, thefusible member 62B extends between the blockingmember 60B and themounting plate 24. Since only thehandle mechanism 22 is blocked by this embodiment, both the actuator lever 36 and thelatch bolt 14 are free to move even when the blockingmember 60B is in the blocking position. Thus, a handle mechanism on an opposite side of the door could still operate to unlatch the latch bolt mechanism if only one assembly is provided with the blocking member. - As is apparent from the foregoing specification, the invention is susceptible of being embodied with various alterations and modifications which may differ particularly from those that have been described in the preceding specification and description. It should be understood that I wish to embody within the scope of the patent warranted hereon all such modifications as reasonably and properly come within the scope of my contribution to the art.
- The features disclosed in the foregoing description, in the claims and/or in the accompanying drawings may, both separately and in any combination thereof, be material for realising the invention in diverse forms thereof.
