Description

    Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to a tongue latch with protection, provided with great utility, functionality and efficiency, constituting important functional, technical, and economic improvements, that overcomes all inconveniences and deficiencies existing in conventional tongue latches, providing a series of advantages inherent to its applicability, in order to completely satisfy the considered objectives, fulfilling in a practical and efficient way the designated functions, providing proper and innovative characteristics, and meeting the fundamental requirement of novelty.
    • Background of the Invention
  • It is known through the state of art that there are metal sheet tongues provided with the necessary resistance to fulfill its functions. However, metal sheet tongues present a serious problem, since they are made from metal sheets and cannot prevent friction with other component elements of said latches, removing the painting and consequently subjecting said tongues to rust and corrosion attacks, thus causing bad functioning and damages.
  • It is also known through the state of art that there are plastic tongues designed to eliminate the problems caused by metal sheet tongues, especially to prevent friction. However, the material used to construct said plastic tongues does not provide the mechanical resistance necessary to weighed applications, and thus they would be subject to break and cause more inconvenient, being suitable only for light applications.
  • The state of art consists of metallic tongues provided with sliding ends. An example of this concept is disclosed on the document GB 2 432 881 A of 06/06/2007 . This document describes a contact locking device provided with rotating element. Cited rotating element consists of a sphere disposed on the tongue final end (contact end).
    • Summary of the Invention:
  • Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a versatile metal tongue provided with a locking system and a special bending that allows said metal tongue invert its positioning in the latch, providing said latch with a double effect use.
  • It is a further object of the present invention to provide a protection made from a plastic material with low coefficient of friction, wherein said protection is fitted to the tip of said tongue, within its dimensions, where it is firmly locked. Said protection has a special sliding peripheral form that prevents friction between other elements of said latch, ensuring better functioning, smoothness of movement and greater durability, in addition to be free of corrosion risk.
  • In order to have a clear visualization of said tongue latch with protection in question, illustrative drawings are attached, and references are made to them, in order to better elucidate the detailed description bellow.
    • Brief Description of the Drawings:
    • FIGURES 1 and 2 show a side view and a top view of the tongue and its protection, wherein said protection is separated from said tongue.
    • FIGURE 3 shows a perspective view of the tongue and its protection, wherein said protection is separated from said tongue.
    • FIGURES 4 and 5 show a side view and a top view of the tongue and its protection, wherein said protection is connected to said tongue.
    • FIGURES 6 and 7 show a side view and a top view of the tongue and its protection, wherein said protection is connected to said tongue and a section view.
    • FIGURE 8 shows a perspective view of the tongue and its protection, wherein said protection is connected to said tongue.
    • FIGURES 9 and 10 show a posterior view and a side view of the tongue with said connected protection, wherein said connected protection is mounted on a latch mechanism. In Figure 10, broken lines show the inversion of position of said tongue.
    • FIGURE 11 shows a perspective view of the latch mechanism, wherein said protection is connected to said tongue. Broken lines show said tongue in the inverse position.
    • FIGURE 12 shows a side view of the set, in longitudinal section.
    Detailed Description of the Invention:
  • In accordance with these illustrations and the details thereof, the present invention, Tongue Latch with Protection, herein disclosed is characterized essentially by comprising a metal part (1) conveniently folded into the form of "S", defining two longitudinal extensions in opposite directions and in two plans (2) and (3), wherein said longitudinal extensions are connected by an slightly inclined intermediate extension (4). After a concave taper at the sides (5), said longitudinal extension (2) terminates with a circular form (6), where is provided a squared hole (7). The terminal of said opposite extension (3) has lowered edges with special cuttings (8), defining a locking system to lock said protection.
  • Said protection (9) comprises a hollow part made from a plastic material with low coefficient of friction, in the form of prism, with eight side faces formed as parallelograms and with rounded edges, having a mouthpiece with thin walls (10) to better adjust to the dimensions of said tongue, as can be observed in Figure 7.
  • Said protection (9) is connected to the terminal of the extension (3) of said tongue, where it is fitted by mechanical interference and firmly locked by the edges with special cuts (8) of said terminal.
  • For illustration purposes, Figures 9, 10, 11 and 12 show said tongue with the protection connected and mounted on a latch mechanism, wherein through the squared hole (7), said tongue (1) is connected to the squared prolongation (11) of the latch driving core and fixed by a trilobular screw (12) that is screwed into a threaded axial hole of said driving core.
  • Due to the special bending of said tongue, its positioning in the latch mechanism assembly can be inverted, as illustrated in Figures 10 and 11 by broken lines (13), providing to said latch with a double effect use.
