Definitions

  • This invention relates to a striker plate for doors and windows.
  • the striker plate according to this invention is used, preferably on the frames of doors, French windows, windows etc., in which it is necessary to use a lock, usually with keys, in which a normal latch may be coupled with a bolt.
  • This type of striker plate may be used on doors and windows with frames manufactured from metallic or synthetic material (such as PVC) or in a hybrid form, using wood, too.
  • These frames are equipped, on the front part of the mobile frame or sash, with an opening for the passage of the element or latch for opening and closing the sash (controlled by the handle) and for the bolt (operated by the key), obtained by machining the profile.
  • the opening is usually formed along a jamb of the sash with a front surface, so that when the sash is in the closed position, the latch and bolt can pass through the surface and into respective seats formed on the front surface of the fixed frame.
  • the jamb of the sash, in these doors/windows, comprises a longitudinal groove formed by the above-mentioned surface defined by two protruding flanges with an L-shaped opposite profile.
  • the last step for assembly of the doors/windows involves closing the area with the latch and bolt and must allow for a correct adjustment between the two above-mentioned elements (latch and bolt) and the respective openings of the striker plate, in order to permit a correct operation of the elements concerned (that is, the correct closure of the door/window).
  • a first type of plate is equipped with holes for the passage of screws of a slotted type in order to carry out an adjustment (only partial, however) along the longitudinal (or vertical) axis of the striker plate.
  • Each auxiliary attachment has:
  • Another screw passing through a hole present at the respective end of the main body, enables the body to be coupled to the attachment using a threaded bushing housed in the second seat.
  • the bushing is also equipped with a rear striker element against the respective surface of the attachment; both the surfaces for the reciprocal contact have closely spaced ridges which extend parallel to the longitudinal extension of the body and on which the stability of the position assumed depends after the adjustment along the transversal axis.
  • the particular assembly or screw - bushing coupling for lateral or transversal adjustment of the main body may be difficult with possible defects due to the possibility of rotation or, even, falling of the bushing with the striker element (which is not visible during the operation) with the consequent need to fully dismantle the striker plate in order to reset the striker plate as a whole.
  • the striker plate is a clearly visible component with the sash open, the overlapping of the attachments, which are different in size to the main body, and the exposed slots are not accepted by the end user.
  • the aim of this invention is therefore to overcome these shortcomings by manufacturing a striker plate for doors/windows which is extremely practical, has a more attractive appearance, with high stability and long life characteristics after assembly, a lower cost and with precise adjustment both during and after completing assembly.
  • a striker plate in particular a striker plate for doors/windows comprising the technical characteristics described in one or more of the appended claims.
  • a striker plate for doors/windows the doors/windows being of the type comprising a mobile frame having a jamb comprising a groove forming a first front surface enclosed between two opposing protruding L-shaped longitudinal flanges to form a second surface, and the first surface having at least one slot for passage of means of closing the door/window;
  • the striker plate being attachable to the jamb and comprising at least:
  • the striker plate according to this invention is used on doors/windows comprising: a mobile frame 1 or sash (partially indicated with a dashed line, since it does not strictly concern this invention) having a jamb 2 comprising a groove 3 forming a first front surface 4 enclosed between two opposing protruding L-shaped longitudinal flanges 5 and 6 to form a second surface.
  • the first surface 4 has a pair of slots 7 and 7a for passage of means for closing the door/window (such as a latch and a bolt, which are not illustrated here, since they do not form part of this invention).
  • means for closing the door/window such as a latch and a bolt, which are not illustrated here, since they do not form part of this invention.
  • the striker plate 8 may be fitted to the jamb 2 and comprises the following main components: a plate-like main body 9; a pair of occluding or shimming inserts 12; two attachments 14 for connecting and fastening the main body 9 to the jamb 2; first means 19 for fastening the attachments 14 to the jamb 2; second means 22 for fastening the attachments 14 to the main body 9.
  • the plate-like main body 9 may be positioned in contact with the second surface of the flanges 5 and 6 (see also figures 3 and 6 ).
  • Each occluding and shimming insert 12 is larger in size than the respective opening 11 and has, in turn, a through slot-shaped opening 13 extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal extension of the main body 9 (used to adjust the body 9, as will be seen below)
  • each insert 12 has at least two portions 12a, 12b for striking against respective edges 11a, 11b of the corresponding opening 11 (see also figures 3 to 6 ).
  • the fastening means comprise a screw 19 entering the first hole 18 made in the second portion 17 and screwed to a cam-like rhomboidal plate 27 that strikes against the inside of the flanges 5 and 6 forming the second surface.
  • the first fastening means 19 it is possible to make a first adjustment along a vertical axis Z of the entire striker plate 8 to enable the correct positioning of the openings 10 and 10a with respect to the slots 7 and 7a.
  • the second fastening means 22 between each attachment 14 and the main body 9 pass through: the second through hole 21 of the front arm 15; the slotted opening 13 of the insert 12; and the threaded hole 20 of the rear arm 16 positioned, during use, in the groove 3.
  • these second fastening means comprise a second screw 22 passing through the second hole 21 and the slot 13 of the insert 12 for screwing into the threaded hole 20.
  • the two shorter sides 12a, 12b of each insert 12 are the above-mentioned striker portions, with a first sloping surface section 12c, to form a sort of countersink, and at least a second rectilinear surface section 12d in order to allow the main body 9 to be at least partially snapped into the respective opening 11 (see figures 3 to 6 ).
  • each opening 11 on the main body 9 is its shorter sides 11a, 11b, with a bevel 11c forming a sort of front countersink sloping towards the inside of the main body 9 to enable entry of the inserts 12.
  • each insert 12 and the respective opening 11 is also strengthened by the screw 22 forming the second fastening means.
  • These means 24 may be present on the rear surface 23 of each insert 12 and on the inner surface 25 of each rear arm 16 of the attachments 14 facing against the respective opening 11.
  • these longitudinal alignment means 24 may consist of a series of continuous and parallel toothed profiles formed on the two surfaces facing each other which, if necessary, may be brought into contact, by applying a greater tightening pressure of the screw 22 on the insert 12 which, by additional sliding inside the opening may locate itself with its inner surface 23 in contact with the surface 25.
  • each rear arm 16 has the threaded hole 20 formed on the inner surface 25 equipped with part of the alignment means 24.
  • Another component may be present on each second portion 17 of the attachments 14.
  • this element therefore covers the area to improve the aesthetic effect and, at the same time, increases the security of the assembled part and its service life thanks to the formation of a closed chamber which prevents the entry of dust or other elements which could damage the moving components.
  • a striker plate structured in this way therefore achieves the pre-set aims thanks to a combination of components designed to permit fast and simple assembly and an extremely sure and precise adjustment on two axes.
  • the presence of the inserts provides a dual positive effect: firm positioning of the main body on the flanges, thereby increasing security against burglary, and the possibility of sure transversal adjustment even by non-specialised personnel.
  • Longitudinal adjustment means may be effected using the inserts and the attachments without affecting the basic configuration of the main body (which is always the same) thus reducing the overall costs of the striker plate.
