Description
- The object of the present invention relates to the field of closing systems and safety locks for doors and hatches, with particular reference to the doors and hatches of motor vehicles such as vans, caravans and the like.
- In the field of closing systems and safety locks for doors and hatches, devices are available on the market which generally comprise a lock body, applied integrally to the door or hatch being examined, which houses a shaft adapted to guide a closing latch integral with one of the ends of said shaft. A rotatable actuation knob is associated with said shaft and is adapted to actuate it by translating it in axial direction and rotating it so as to close the rotatable lock of the so-called "screw lock" locking type of which it is part. Said rotatable knob furthermore is also generally provided with a cylinder lock which makes the locking thereof possible. A lock of this type is described in German utility model application number
DE202007013514U1 in which a mechanism similar to the one described is claimed, in which there is a knob that moves, in the travel thereof in axial direction, between two end positions: the first position, a stop position, in which it adheres to the lock body; the second position, an actuation position, in which it is protruding with respect to the flange of the lock body. This allows the lock to be operated by means of two separate movements of the knob, a translational one and a rotary one, so as to allow the locking by means of axial movement of the knob itself from the actuation position to the stop position, once the key is in closed position. - The lock pursuant to German utility model application number
DE202007013514U1 moreover is also complex to make, requiring a series of mechanical details adapted to allow the dual rotary-translational movement of the knob described above. The manufacturing complexity is accompanied by an increased manufacturing cost, longer production times. - Moreover, the lock pursuant to German utility model application number
DE202007013514U1 and others of the prior art have the handle in line with the latch and this may be a limit and a restraint in the connection of the lock itself with the door or hatch for which it is intended. - It is an object of the present application to introduce a rotatable closing device for doors and hatches, with particular reference to the doors and hatches of motor vehicles such as vans, caravans, motorcaravans and the like, which is simpler, more affordable and requires less time to make with respect to the devices of the prior art, and with an increased level of flexibility of use and implementation.
- The lock of the present invention falls within the scope of locks provided with rotatable lock having a lock of the so-called "screw lock" type, and is characterized in that it has a handle adapted to carry out a simple rotation without requiring translational movements to lock the lock, and it has the handle itself, and the shaft connected thereto, offset with respect to the shaft which guides the closing latch. This allows an increased level of flexibility in using the lock coupled with a door or hatch, to be achieved.
- Further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description, provided by way of nonlimiting example and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
Fig. 1 shows a partial exploded view of a preferred embodiment of the rotatable closing device according to the present invention; -
Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the handle lock of a preferred embodiment of the rotatable closing device according to the present invention; -
Fig. 3 shows a partial longitudinal sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the rotatable closing device according to the present invention; and -
Fig. 4 shows a partial cross section plan view of a preferred embodiment of the rotatable closing device according to the present invention. - In reference to the accompanying drawings, a preferred embodiment of the rotatable closing device of the present invention comprises a
lock 10 and ahandle lock 20. -
Lock 10 is provided with fastening means adapted to promote the fastening thereof to a door or a hatch, saidlock 10 being adapted to be arranged assembled associated with a door or hatch, preferably on the inner side, and comprising arotatable sleeve 11, preferably of the "screw lock" type, associated with ashaft 12, in turn associated with a first end of a latch, and at a second end with a firstcogged wheel 13; therotatable sleeve 11 is adapted to guideshaft 12 therein, in rotatable and axially translatable manner, by means of apin 14 adapted to be engaged both with saidshaft 12 and with aguide 15 on saidrotatable sleeve 11; finally, saidrotatable sleeve 11 further comprises an adjustment bushing 16 adapted to cooperate with saidpin 14 and with saidguide 15 so as to allow saidrotatable sleeve 11 to rotate relatively to saidshaft 12 while theshaft 12 itself translates axially. A secondcogged wheel 17 accommodated in a compartment oflock 10 is adapted to be engaged with the firstcogged wheel 13 and is provided with engagement means withshaft 18 which is integral withhandle 19 of thehandle lock 20. - Preferably, the second
cogged wheel 17 comprises a cup shape with a cylindrical-shaped middle wall 21 comprising therein apin 22 adapted to be engaged with a corresponding housing insideshaft 18 which is integral withhandle 19 of thehandle lock 20 so as to prevent the mutual rotation and allow the mutual axial translation. The rotary motion ofhandle 19 actuated by the user is thus transmitted topin 22 throughshaft 18, thus putting thecogged wheel 17 into rotation, which in turn transmits it to thecogged wheel 13 and therefore to therotatable sleeve 11, which acts on the latch that is first put into rotation and then into axial translation so as to progressively compress the door on the frame thereof, thus ensuring the proper flattening of any seals arranged on the edge of the door or frame of the door, thus locking the door itself. - The fact that
handle 19 is connected toshaft 12 which guides the latch by means of a pair ofcogged wheels cogged wheels cogged wheels cogged wheels cogged wheel 17, comprisingpin 22 adapted to be engaged with a corresponding housing insideshaft 18 which is integral withhandle 19, allows the coupling betweenlock 10 and thehandle lock 20 of the closing device according to the present invention to be kept over a given range of distances betweenlock 10 and thehandle lock 20, thus allowing the closing device described to be adapted to doors of various thicknesses. - The
handle lock 20 is further provided with aseat 24 adapted to be fixed to a door or a hatch and to accommodatehandle 19 when the closing mechanism is actuated and the door or hatch is closed. To this end,handle 19 preferably is provided with a shaft which has a first telescopic part consisting of two cylinders adapted to slide one inside the other with a compression spring that holdshandle 19 in position normally protruding with respect toseat 24. A suitable coupling and release mechanism applied to the aforesaid first telescopic part of the shaft ofhandle 19 allowshandle 19 accommodated inseat 24 to be held and released when the door is closed. - The
rotatable handle 19 of the device according to the present invention finally may comprise a cylinder lock adapted to lock the handle in closed position. - The rotatable closing device according to the present invention allows the user to close the door or hatch to which it is applied by means of a simple rotation of the handle without requiring translational movements, furthermore the coupling by means of cogged wheels described also allows the force required to actuate the handle to be conveniently modulated during the design step. The device of the present invention finally allows simplifying the management and assembly of locks and handle since said locks are compatible with the installation on doors of various thickness. This results in an increased simplicity of use, less production costs and times.
- The preceding description of the preferred embodiments of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the various drawings identify the same or similar elements. The above detailed description does not restrict the scope of the invention claimed because the scope of protection related to the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
