Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lock for the inactive door of a pair of doors.
  • Anti-panic doors of the two-leaf type comprise a primary or active door, which is normally used for entry and exit, and a secondary or inactive door which is usually closed.
  • the inactive door can however be opened, if required, for example to allow the passage of large objects or in an emergency, such as a fire.
  • the lock on the active door is designed to operate independently of the inactive door, and normally does so. However, if the lock on the inactive door is operated, this automatically operates the lock on the active door.
  • the secondary or inactive leaf of such doors is generally provided with a locking device which normally attaches it to the frame.
  • this locking device usually consists of a lock which is provided with a pair of rods which slide vertically, in opposite directions, in the leaf, such that they can engage in ferrules in corresponding seats provided respectively in the door frame and in the floor. In use, when they are in a position retracted inside the leaf, the said rods enable the door to be opened fully, whereas in the extended position they lock the secondary leaf.
  • the active door is normally provided with a dead bolt and latch bolt which operate in a conventional manner, when the door is in normal use. It is known to drive the latch bolt and dead bolt from the inactive door, so that the latch bolt and dead bolt can be opened without the use of a key, from the interior only, of the building in which they are located.
  • Such locks are known as automatic anti-panic locks, and have the advantage that they make it possible to open both the active and the inactive door from the inactive door alone, suitably by means of a lever or by operation of a panic bar.
  • both the upper rod and the lower rod are extended so that they engage in the corresponding seats.
  • the present invention provides an automatic inactive door lock for the inactive door of a pair of doors, the active door of which is fitted with an automatic anti-panic lock comprising a latch bolt and a deadbolt, which inactive door lock comprises
  • a locking system comprises an anti-panic lock 2 and an automatic inactive door lock, shown generally at 10.
  • the anti-panic lock 2 comprises a latch bolt 4 and a dead bolt 6, operable in conventional manner by a lever handle and a key.
  • the automatic inactive door lock 10 comprises a housing 8 in which are located a first long hub plate 12 and a second short hub plate 14 which are arranged in contact with each other.
  • An upper hub 16 is mounted on the upper (free) face of the first hub plate 12 and a lower hub 18 is mounted on the lower (free) face of the second hub plate 14. A rigid four layer structure is thus obtained.
  • a through aperture 20 extends through the upper hub 16, first hub plate 12, second hub plate 14 and lower hub 18 and is adapted to receive the shaft of an operating lever (not shown).
  • the through aperture 20 and shaft are preferably square in shape, so that rotation of the lever results in rotation of the hub assembly.
  • the first hub plate 12 is in plate form and comprises a contact surface 22, first cam face 24, second cam face 26 and guide slot 30.
  • a pin 31 projects from the surface of the plate 12 in the plane of the upper hub 16.
  • the second hub plate 14 is in plate form and is similar in shape to the first hub plate 12, having a contact surface 56 (corresponding to contact surface 22); single cam surface 58 (corresponding to second cam surface 26) and guide slot 62 (corresponding to guide slot 30).
  • a pin 64 which is offset relative to pin 31 of plate 12 projects from the surface of the plate 14 in the plane of the lower hub 18.
  • a first (lower) unlocking plate 32 is substantially rectangular in form and comprises a blocking face 33, first and second guide slots 34 and 36, notch 38, first and second upstands 39 and 40, drive pin 42, spring boss 44 and first and second guide pins 46 and 48.
  • a composite first (lower) bolt carrier 50 is mounted on the first unlocking plate 32, and is provided with guide slots 52 and 54 to receive the guide pins 46 and 48.
  • a second (upper) unlocking plate 66 is substantially rectangular in form and comprises a drive face 68, first and second guide slots 70 and 72, slot 74, first upstand 76 and second upstand 78.
  • a second (upper) bolt carrier 80 is mounted on the unlocking plate 66.
  • a turn arm 82 comprises a contact face 84 arranged to contact the second cam face 26 of the hub plate 12 and a finger 86 arranged to contact the drive face 68 of the second unlocking plate 66.
  • An upper coupling piece 88 for coupling to the upper rod 90 comprises a face 92 and a pin 94 which locates in the guide slot 70 of the upper unlocking plate 66.
  • a lower coupling piece 96 for coupling to the lower rod 98 comprises a pin 100 which locates in the guide slot 34 of the lower unlocking plate 32.
  • An unlocking plate 102 comprises an upper face 104 for contacting the face 92 of the upper coupling piece 88, a lower face 106 and a guide slot 108 adapted to engage a guide pin 110 provided on the back plate 112 of the housing 8 and the guide pin 64 of the second hub plate 14.
  • a locking plate 114 comprises a slot 117 to locate the pin 31 of hub plate 12 and a hook projection 118 adapted to engage the blocking face 33 of the lower unlocking plate 32.
  • a coupling (or locking/unlocking) plate 120 comprises a face 122 for contacting the lower face 106 of the unlocking plate 102 and a projection 124 for engagement in the notch 38 of the first unlocking plate 32.
  • a lower bolt spring 126 locates in the slot 36 and engages the upstand 40 of the lower unlocking plate 32 and biases the lower unlocking plate 32 away from the opening edge of the door 128.
  • An upper bolt spring 130 locates the slot 72 and engages the upstand 76 of the upper unlocking plate 66 and biases the upper unlocking plate 66 away from the opening edge of the door 128.
  • a coupling plate spring 132 is mounted on a boss 134 located on the back plate 112 of the housing 8, and engages the projection 124 of the coupling plate 120 to bias the coupling plate 120 towards engagement of the projection 124 in the notch 38 of the first unlocking plate 32.
  • a leaf spring 138 engages at one end with a boss 140 provided on the back plate 112 of the housing 8, and its other end engages in a slot 142 provided in the locking plate 114.
  • the housing 8 further comprises a cover plate (not shown) provided with slots to guide the upper unlocking plate 66 by means of the upstands 76,78 and the lower unlocking plate 32 by means of the upstand 40.
  • An upper bolt 144 is mounted on the upper bolt carrier 80 and a lower bolt 146 is mounted on the lower bolt carrier 50.
  • the first long hub plate 12 is driven in rotation and the first cam face 24 of the plate 12 contacts the drive pin 32 of the first lower unlocking plate 32 and drives the plate 32 against the biasing force of the lower bolt spring 126.
  • the projection 124 of the coupling plate 120 which is biased by the coupling plate spring 132 towards the unlocking plate 32 engages in the notch 38 of the unlocking plate 32 and restrains it against further movement.
  • the pin 100 of the lower coupling piece 96 is guided in the first guide slot 34 of the unlocking plate 32 and lifts the lower coupling piece 96 and the lower rod 98.
  • the second cam face 26 of the long hub plate 12 contacts the contact face 84 of the turn arm 82 and the drive face 68 of the second upper unlocking plate 66.
  • the pin 94 of the upper coupling piece 88 is located in the guide slot 70 of the unlocking plate 66, so that as the unlocking plate 66 moves, the upper coupling piece 88 and upper rod 90 are lowered.
  • the upper rod 90 is pushed down by the door frame.
  • the downwardly moving face 92 of the upper coupling piece 88 contacts the upper face 104 of the unlocking plate 102.
  • the unlocking plate 102 moves downwards, with its guide slot 108 engaging the guide pin 110 of the housing 8 and the pin 64 of the short hub plate 14.
  • the lower face 106 of the unlocking plate 102 contacts the face 122 of the coupling plate 120 and drives the coupling plate 120 downwards against the biasing effect of the coupling plate spring 132.
  • the projection 124 of the coupling plate 120 is thus disengaged from the notch 38 of the unlocking plate 32 and the unlocking plate 32 is returned to the normal or locked position by the lower bolt spring 126.
  • the upper bolt 144 which is attached to the upper bolt carrier 80 drives the latch bolt in the active door
  • the lower bolt 146 attached to the lower bolt carrier 50 drives the dead bolt in the active door
