Recoil spring lever latch for freezer box door - is of plate form covering free edge of side hung door and pivots w.r.t. door edge to engage stop (SW 18.7.77)

Door or other closable panel with lock-actuating linkage

A door or window arrangement has a panel movable relative to an opening bounded by a frame so as to close against a strike jamb or move away from it. A locking element moves between a locked state in which it engages between the panel and the strike jamb to prevent separation of the panel from the strike jamb and a released state in which the pane) can be separated from the strike jamb. A linkage is displaced by a terminal part of a closing motion of the panel so that completion of the closing motion can only occur when the locking element assumes its locked state. Preferably, the linkage is deployed so that force applied to displace the panel through the terminal part of the closing motion results in a force applied to the locking element to displace it towards its locked state.

Closure mechanism in an anti-break-in multidimensional door-unit assembly

The invention relates to a door closure mechanism offering a new concept: "the anti-break-in multidimensional door". A multidimensional door-unit assembly is built around the closure mechanism which can also be attached to a more conventional door. This mechanism consists of a bolt (1) which pivots on a vertical axis O'Y' on the panel (2) forming the main body of the door. The bolt (1) is a metal section of specific design which fits into another section (6). The latter constitutes the door frame or the covering of an existing door frame. The panel (2) comprises extensions (3-4 and 5) which can be adjusted using simple mechanisms in order to modify (over several degrees) the overall geometry of the door and to meet specific requirements).

Panel closure apparatus

A panel closure apparatus has a panel (14) for closing against a strike jamb (12). A locking element (100) is displaceable between a released position and a locked position in which contact surfaces (102, 104) of the locking element and the panel prevent opening of the panel, and are configured so that force applied to open the panel does not generate a force to disengage the locking element. Locking element (100) has an input surface (108) deployed so as to be displaced by an actuating surface (110) of panel (14) during a closing motion of the panel from the open position to the closed position. Input surface (108) moves as a unit with locking element (100) so that displacement of the input surface by the closing motion of the panel displaces the locking element towards the locked position.

The invention relates to a locking device comprising a hook (58) and a dual control for locking the hook (58). According to the invention, the dual control comprises: - a first shaft (84) which comprises a section (102) and which is rotatable between a hooked position in which the section (102) is housed in a hook housing (58); ) and an unhooked position in which the section (102) is outside the hook housing (58), and - a second shaft (86) which has a section (116) and which is rotatable between a locked position in which the section (116) of the second shaft (86) is housed in a notch (108) of a flange (98) of the first shaft (84) and an unlocked position in which the section (116) of the second shaft (86) is outside the notch (108) of the flange (98) of the first shaft (84).

Locking mechanism for locking door of prehung door unit in e.g. dwelling, has electromagnet integrated with frame and reinforcing plate, so that bolt encases striking plate on barrel and rotates striking plate along its axis

The mechanism (40) has a barrel (41) integrated to a door frame (2) and pivoting around an axis (Y-Y') parallel to an edge of a door (P). A electromagnetic locking unit comprises an electromagnet (421) integrated with the frame and a metal reinforcing plate (422) fixed on a lever arm (48) coupled with the barrel, so that a bolt on the edge encases a striking plate on the barrel and rotates the striking plate along its axis to cause rotation of the arm, press the reinforcing plate on the electromagnet and lock the door on the frame during closing of the door on the frame. An independent claim is also included for a prehung door unit.

Patent FR2260682A1

A door hinged in a frame at one edge has a pivotal locking element along its other edge, with a longitudinal groove cooperatively receiving a counter-locking projection on the frame. The locking element includes a rotation stop to prevent the rotation of the door beyond closed position. The locking element is sufficiently rotatable about its pivotal mounting that its groove is disengaged from the locking projection for opening the door. A spring interconnects the locking element and the door for biasing the locking element in open or closed position. Grips are fastened respectively on one side of the door and to the locking element on the other side of the door. The rotation stop has an angularly arranged plate extending into an opening in the door with a projection on its free edge registerable with a corresponding projection on the door to limit opening pivotal movements of the locking element. A blocking element normaly biased to retain the locking element against pivotal movement is manually movable from one or both sides of the door to an unblocking position. The door hinge includes a flexible plastic strip anchored respectively to the door and door frame.
