as that MICHAEL J. GRACE, OF CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGN- MENTS, TU THE GAMEWELL CUMPANY OF SETTS, A CORPORATION OF MASSACHUSETTS KEY AND Lnvnn GUARD FOB. FIR-EALABM :Boxns Application filed June 30, 1924. S rial The present invention is a guard for keys or pull levers of fire alarm signal boxes. This invention is an improvement over the well known Cole key guard shown and described in United States Patent No. 824,411, wherein a transparent plate is mounted in a spring operated door, the door being arranged before the key or alarm pull lever- In this type of device it is necessary to first break the glass or frangible element which releases the spring door and permits the same to swing open giving ready access to the key or pull lever. This type of device is objectionable because it is found that in a number of in stances the person sending the alarm breaks the glass with his hand and the shattered glass cuts or otherwise injures the hand of the person. Furthermore it is necessary with devices of the type of the Cole device to replace the glass atter each alarm.
It is also well known that it has been 'proposed to have a non-frangible, transparent element covering the key or pull lever. But in these cases the door supporting said element must i be manually and deliberately opened before access is gained to the pull lever or the key. In this instance the well established practice of breaking the glass' togain access to the key or pull lever, with which practice all persons are fully fam liar,
has been departed fromwhich may cause confusion in the sending of the alarm, resulting in no alarm being sent in,by-reason of the fact that thedoor of the guard having been deliberately pulled or otherwise opened a person may assume that the alarm has been sent in and neglect to turn the key or pull the alarm lever.
The present invention has for its object to overcome all of the above stated drawbacks and to provide further an economical and etficient key or lever guard adhering to the well kn wn practice and instructions which have long appeared on. all alarm boxes, to first break the glass and to turn key or pull lever.
The invention further has tor'its object the elimination of the usual key lock for maintaining the guard door closed and the n-ovision of a door which will snap into place n5. 'liich will be-rea dily trig JEi. open upon No. 723,418. Renewed March 30, 1929.
NEWTON UPPER FALLS, MASSACHU- the striking of the door or glass withthe knuckles or other instruments without breaking the glass. The glass is made sufliciently thick or otherwise constructed to withstand an ordinary blow from the hand without breaking it. .However it may be broken, if found necessary, with a suitable instrument thereby under any condition assuring access to the key or lever.
The invention further residesin the sundry details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts which are shown in the accom anying drawings and described in thisspecification. I
In this specification and the annexed drawings, the inventionis disclosed in the form in whiehit is considered to be the best, but
the'invention is not limited to such form because it is capable of being embodied inother I forms; and it' is to be understood that in and by the claims following the description herei in it is intended to cover the invention in whatever form it may embody withinthe scope'thereof. A 5
In the drawings in which theperferred embodiment of the invention is shown, as at present devised;
Figure 1 is a front view of a signal box provided with a key or lever guard attachment constructed in accordance with the invention; Y F
. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken substantially on line 22 ofFig. 1; Fig. 3 is a modified 'iorniot the trip lever; and r V T Fig. 4 is a modified structure embodying lock V and the fundamental features and principles of" the invention. 1
Referring particularly to thedetails of the drawings, 1 indicates the shell or housing of the usual fire alarm box which may be provided withv a movable front face or door 2, in which there is a slot through which asuitable pull lever is extendedto be accessible for sending the alarm or in which may be provided a key'lock accessible to the sender of the alarm in a manner which is well un derstood in the art. This pull lever 3 or key, as the case may be, is enclosed by theusual uard housing 46 equipped with spring actuated hinged door 5 of substantially the same structure now commonly in use. It may be found desirable however, to. eliminate the projecting guard housing 4 and to provide a suitable depression or recess in the door 2 of the box. However such depression or recess will be equipped with the spring actuated door 5, preferably of the swinging type hinged at its lower edge as at 6 and being moved to open position in any suitable manner by a spring or other means 7.
The present invention deals more particu larly with a means for maintaining the door in its normal closed position, shown inl igs. l, 2, andi, but which will be actuatedivien pressure is exerted on theTdoor or angible panel'8 torelease the door from its normally closed latched position and to permit the spring means 7 to open the door as soon as the pressure of the blow has been released.
As previously stated it is the purpose of this invention for the sender of the alarm to practice thetime-honored method familiar to al persons by first breaking the glass on the door 5. But since it is the practice of most people to attempt to break the, glass with their hand, it-is the aimof this invention. for the door to be released when the glass of the door is struck by a blow from the hand but without actually breaking the glass. To this end' the glass is made of greater thickness than usual or of such construction as to withstand an ordinary-blow from the hand without breaking, but which may be broken, 1' f found necessary, with a suitable instrument thereby under allconditions assuring access to the or lever.
One means for latching the door 5 in its normally closed position is shown in 1,
2, and 3 and consists of a lever 9, substantially of the bellcrank type pivotally mounted at its angular port-ion in a bracket or projcc tion 10 extending laterally from the inner face of the door 5 at or adjacent the distal in edge thereof, or at anyother suitable por tion which may be found more convenient and desirable on the door 5. The lever 9 is so 7 designed and constructed as to have the ex tremity A of one arm thereof to engage against the usual glass panel 8, in the manner clearly shown in Pi s. 1 and 2, and the .end B of the other arm thereof designec. to
act as a detent to engage with and abutedge of the door opening in the housing 4;, as clearly shown in Fig. 2.
The frangible panel 8 is, preferably, fitted in rabbets in the door 5 and is normally held tightly in the rabbetsby the extension I) of the spring 7. The manner of mounting the panel 8 may be varied in any suitable or deired way. WlllCll' will permit. the panel to move, under pressure, inwardly relative to the door 5, as indicated in dotted lines, Fig. 2. The latch lever 9 is normally urged to its full line position. shown in Fig. 2 by alight spring found desirable in some instances to substitute a counter-balance on the lever fgr the spring 11. The door actuating means Z" be any suitable means, but for the purpose of the present showing consists of a flat spring having one end secured to the frame of the door 5, as in F, and one end E under tension engaging against the inner wall of the bottom of the guard housing 4. 7
From the above it will be seen that when a person is about to turn in an alarm, in the event of fire, he will proceed as is usual to give the frangible panel 8 a blow,in an attempt to break the panel and gain access to alarm pull-lever or key. If this blow is delivered by the hand, thepanel will be sufiiciently strong to resist breaking, but will move inwardly, as indicated in dotted llIlBS,
1 b 1 7 v i 7 u 1 u I I the lever 9inwardly with 1t, which in turn causes the end B of the lever to move out of the path of the keeper edge 12 of theguard box; and since the spring 7 is constantly exerting its pressureon theframe of the guard box door 5, the door will'be moved slightly lines F 2, to clear the end B of the'latch le er9 from the keeper 12, andas soonas the pressure from. the blow is relieved from the panel 8, the spring 7; will completelts swing-f ing movement of the. door, and move it tothe full open position, shown in dotted lines of Fig. '2. This operation renders ready access to the usual alarm pull lever or to the lockkey of the door2 of the alarm box, according to the type of box upon which the invention is installed. The panel 8 will be immediately returned to its position in the rabbet,
as soon as the pressure of the blow is relieved therefrom, by the spring 11, by reason of the.
replace the frangible panel 8, because the same is not broken, and the hand of the sender of the alarm is in no way injured or eopardized by the breaking of the glass. In the event, however, it becomes necessary to break the panel 8, or if the sender of the alarm uses an instrument to break the panel,thc same.
may be readily broken and under ordinary conditions the impact will be sufficient to cause an inward swing of the end A of lever 9 to release the latch B and permit the door to swing open; but if for any reason the latch does not open,iaccess can be had through the broken pane or panel to the pull lever or outwardly, as indicated in dotted lic ward edge of the keeper is key, thus rendering the device fool-proof. A new frangible panel 8 may.be' readily insertedin' the rabbet behind the spring D and the arm A of the lever 9, if required.
In Figure 3 a modification of the lever 9.
is shown, in the form of the lever 9 provided with a double or yokelike arm instead of the single arm A. This yoke arm A is designed to have its extremities lie on each side of a panel and engage therewith so as to eliminate any possibility of the panel twisting under the impact of a blow without transmitting the inward movement of the panel to the lever.
A further modification of the invention is shown in Fig. 4 wherein the door to the key or lever guard 4i, has the latch means operated by the inward movement of the door 5 instead of by the inward movement of the glass panel only. In this form of the inven tion the frangible panel 8 may be rigidly mounted in the door, but subject to renewal in the usual manner if broken, and any impact received on the panel 8 or on the frame of the door will cause the door 5 to move inwardly for a slight distance. This movement of the door causes the detent to ride on the bevel surface of the keeper 16 and thereby be depressed a distance to permit the spring pressed pawl 17 to engage in the notch 18, thus releasing the door from closed position and permitting a suitable actuating means, such as shown at 7 in Fig. 2, to move the door to open position as soon as the pressure of the impact has been moved from the door 5 or the panel 8 After the alarm has been given the detent 16 may be released from ineffective position by withdrawing the pawl 17 and the door swung back and snapped to latch position. It will be noted that the forprevent the detent from being depressed sufficiently, while the door is being closed,
to permit the pawl 17 to en age in the notch 18. In this form of the invention as in the form shown in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, the frangible panel will be of sufficient thickness to withstand the ordinary blow of the hand, but it may be broken when necessity requires.
It will be manifest that should the guarddoor 5 or 5 become accidentally open it may be snapped in close position by any person.
