Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a striking plate device capable of receiving one or more locking members of a lock.
  • striking plates made from metal or from rigid plastic material, for use in conjunction with locks of the spring-latch and/or bolt type, particularly for locking doors in which the striking plate is fitted on the fixed part of the door, while the lock is fitted on the moving part of the door.
  • the striking plate normally has an aperture which can receive the spring-latch or the bolt of the lock, according to the type of lock, or two apertures, one of which can receive the spring-latch of the lock while the other can receive the bolt.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a striking plate device which enables the aforesaid drawbacks to be overcome.
  • a striking plate device capable of receiving one or more locking members of a lock and designed to be fitted on a fixed part of a structure to be locked by means of the lock, characterized in that it comprises at least one element having one or more apertures which can receive the locking member or members of the lock, and means of adjusting the element on the fixed part of the structure to provide a fixed position aligned with the locking member or members of the lock.
  • the illustrated striking plate device consists of a fixed or base element, indicated by 2, and an adjustable device or stop, indicated by 3.
  • the base 2 is an essentially rectangular plate with two longitudinal sides much longer than the two transverse sides.
  • the base 2 comprises an inner face 5 and an outer face 5'.
  • Two projections 8 and 8', with undercuts on their outer sides, are formed at short distances from the two transverse sides of the base 2, and extend from the outer face 5'.
  • Two milled areas 7 and 7' are formed between the projections 8 and 8' and the corresponding transverse edges of the base 2.
  • Two through holes 6 and 6' for housing fixing screws are provided in the projecting areas 8 and 8'.
  • the said through holes are countersunk on the outer surface 5' of the base 2.
  • the central part of the base also has a recess 9.
  • Figure 4 shows in section the form of the milled area 7 with fine teeth.
  • the stop 3 is an elongate plate, of essentially rectangular shape, with two essentially parallel narrow or transverse edges, two essentially parallel longitudinal edges, an outer face 10' and an inner face 10.
  • the outer face 10' of the stop 3, shown in Figure 6, forms the visible surface of the striking plate device 1 when it is fitted on a fixed structure, for example the jamb of a door.
  • the stop 3 has two slots 11 and 11', countersunk on the outer face 10', which extend parallel to each other at short distances from the two transverse edges of the stop 3.
  • a rectangular aperture 12 is located halfway between the said transverse edges and is displaced towards one of the elongate edges of the stop 3.
  • the aperture 12 has the shape of an elongate rectangle, in which the two longitudinal sides act as a stop device for the locking member, for example a spring-latch which springs into the aperture 12. Additionally, as shown in Figure 6, the corners of this aperture 12 are rounded. Each of the two longitudinal edges of the stop 3 has a chamfer 16 and 16' on its outer surface 10'.
  • Figure 7 shows the inner face 10 of the stop 3.
  • Two channels 14 and 14' are cut in this inner face 10 at short distances from the transverse edges of the stop 3. These channels 14 and 14' extend parallel to each other and to the transverse edges, opening towards one of the longitudinal sides of the stop 3.
  • the slots 11, 11', described previously with reference to Figure 6, are located in the bases the channels 14, 14' respectively.
  • Two milled areas 13 and 13' are also formed between the channels 14, 14' and the corresponding transverse edges of the stop 3.
  • a void 15 of rectangular shape is formed on the inner face 10 of the stop 3 in the area between the longitudinal edge farther from the aperture 12 and the aperture 12 itself.
  • the slots 11, 11' are countersunk on the surface 10' of the stop 3.
  • the channels 14, 14' which both have undercuts on their outer sides, have trapezoidal cross-sections.
  • Figure 9 shows a section through the tapers 16, 16' on the outer face 10' at the lateral edges of the stop 3, together with the void 15 and the aperture 12.
  • the aperture 12 is also countersunk on the outer face 10' of the stop 3.
  • the stop 3 is connected to the base 2 by inserting the projections 8, 8' into the guide channels 14, 14'.
  • the trapezoidal engagement between the said projections 8, 8' present on the outer face 5' of the base 2 and the guide channels 14, 14' present on the inner face 10 of the stop 3 creates an adjustable connection between the base 2 and the stop 3.
  • the striking plate device When the striking plate device, prepared in this way, is placed with the inner face 5 of the base 2 against the jamb 18 of the door, the ends of the fixing screws 4, 4' are inserted into the holes present in the jamb 18 and are screwed in, but not yet tightened.
  • the base 2 of the striking plate 1 is therefore fixed, while the stop 3 remains adjustable in the direction of extension of the slots 11, 11' and is therefore adaptable to the specific position of the lock.
  • the stop 3 is then pushed into its desired position, in which the aperture 12 corresponds to the stop position of the spring-latch or the bolt 17 of the lock, as shown for example in figures 11 and 13.
  • the slots 11, 11' are advantageously countersunk so that they can fully accommodate the heads of the said fixing screws 4 and 4'. This prevents any interference with the operation of a door due to the heads of fixing screws projecting from the face 10' of the stop 3.
  • the inclined side of the spring-latch 17 strikes the longitudinal edge of the stop 3 and is pushed towards the inside of the lock, while it slides over the said longitudinal edge.
  • the said sliding of the spring-latch 17 over the edge of the stop 3 is facilitated by the tapers 16, 16'.
  • the spring-latch 17 springs into the aperture 12 of the stop 3 and is checked between the two longitudinal edges of the aperture 12.
  • the door is first closed, after which the bolt 17 is inserted into the aperture 12 of the stop 3.
  • the recess 9, provided on the outer face 5' of the base 2 decreases the overall dimensions of the base 2 in this area and thus ensures a sufficiently deep insertion of the locking members 17 into the apertures 12 present in the stop 3.
  • any force pushing against the said door is transmitted by the locking members 17 to the inner longitudinal edge of the aperture 12 of the stop 3.
  • the said pushing force is transmitted from the stop 3 through the milled areas 7, 7' and 13, 13' to the base 2, and from there to the jamb 18 of the door through the fixing screws 4, 4'.
  • the said milled areas prevent an undesired movement of the spring-latch stop position, in other words of the aperture 12, with respect to the base 2 and to the jamb 18 of the door.
  • Figure 10 shows the striking plate device 1 in a possible fitted configuration.
  • the screws 4 and 4' are inserted into the slots 11, 11' of the stop 3 and into the through holes 6, 6' of the base 2, and are screwed into corresponding internally threaded holes of a door jamb 18.
  • Figure 11 shows in horizontal section the jamb 18 with the striking plate device 1 fitted according to Figure 10.
  • the spring-latch 17 of a lock is inserted into the aperture 12 and checked between the two inner longitudinal sides of the aperture.
  • the base 2 has its wide longitudinal edge, recognizable by the void 15, pointing towards the direction of opening of the door. Consequently, the aperture 12 and the check position of the spring-latch 17 are displaced towards the direction of closing of the door.
  • Figures 12 and 13 show a second fitted configuration of the striking plate device 1, in which the position of the spring-latch 17 is different from the situation in Figure 11; in other words, the spring-latch is displaced in the direction of opening of the door.
  • the stop 3 is rotated through 180° in its plane and fitted on the base 2 in such a way that the wide edge of the base 3 points towards the direction of closing of the door, the aperture 12 is displaced in the direction of opening of the door.
  • the striking plate device 1 is adapted to the position of the lock and the spring-latch 17 in Figure 13, which is changed from that in Figure 11, without any further adjustment by means of the slots 11, 11'.
  • the individual elements of the striking plate device according to the example are formed from nylon by press-moulding.
  • the striking plate device 1 has numerous advantages.
  • the device 1 can be used with jambs 18 having different widths and with locks having their locking members 17 located in different positions. Because the base 2 is relatively thin, the striking plate device 1 is also easily adapted to doors with profiled frames. In order to compensate for additional clearances between the door and jamb, it is possible to use additional washers or shims between the base 2 of the device 1 and the structure, without adversely affecting the securing of the stop 3 in position. This all leads to a drastic reduction in fitting time and consequently a reduction of cost. In addition to the saving of time and money, the striking plate device according to the invention allows unusually precise adjustment of the stop position of the locking members.
  • the striking plate device can comprise only one element, namely the one which is adjustable by means of the slots 11, 11', which is screwed directly to the jamb 18 of the door.
  • the said base 2 or individual characteristics thereof can be formed directly from the fixed part 18 of the structure to be locked.
  • the said stop 3 can have more than one aperture for receiving the locking members 17.
  • the said apertures 12 can have shapes different from rectangles, and in particular they can be circular, for pin bolts.
  • the said apertures 12 can be shaped differently from each other.
  • a single aperture 12 is capable of receiving more than one locking member.
  • connection between the projections 8, 8' and the guide channels 14, 14' can logically be inverted, in other words projections can be provided on the inner face 10 of the stop 3 and corresponding guide channels of complementary shape can be provided on the outer face 5' of the base 2.
  • the striking plate device 1 according to the present invention can be made from any type of material capable of withstanding the mechanical stresses during use, for example steel, aluminium, brass or synthetic material.
  • the use of nylon and the forming of the individual elements of the striking plate device by press-moulding have been shown to be particularly advantageous.
  • the base 2 has a group of internally threaded holes to receive the fixing screws of the stop 3 and a further group of through holes for fixing the base 2 to the structure.
  • the through holes in the base 2 are advantageously countersunk to receive the heads of the fixing screws.
  • the said through holes in the base 2 can be of any shape, and in particular they can be slots which enable the position of the base 2 to be adjusted on the fixed part of the structure.
  • these slots are orientated perpendicularly to each other, enabling the base 2 to be fixed to a structure with pre-existing holes having different spacings and alignments.
  • the projections 8, 8' and the guide channels 14, 14' can form different types of connection between the base 2 and the stop 3 of the striking plate device.
  • An undercut or dovetail connection as shown in Figure 1 and 2, allows the stop 3 to be adjusted only in the direction of the slots 14, 14'.
  • the said connection is formed with a clearance such that it permits a rotational adjustment, albeit a limited one, in the plane of the stop 3.
  • a further embodiment of the present invention omits the said projections 8, 8' and the said guide channels 14, 14' completely. Their guiding and adjusting function is provided exclusively by the fixing screws 4, 4' and the slots 11, 11'.
  • the said screws 4 and 4' can be ordinary screws, or self-tapping screws, for use with timber, aluminium, steel or synthetic frames, for example.
