Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a locking device.
  • a locking device is preferably adapted for used on doors or panels of wardrobes, metal cabinets or lockers. It is however apparent that application of the locking device to other typologies of doors or panels is also possible depending on current requirements.
  • the movement means operatively interposed between the lever and the closure means can be consisting in a rack-and-pinion mechanism, wherein a toothed wheel meshes with two sliding and partially toothed rods or, alternatively, by a rotating sash whereupon two tangentially opposed rods are articulated at opposite radial locations.
  • a rotation from the rest position of the handle involves a rotatory movement of a pinion gear rigidly associated with the handle which meshes with corresponding slots present in a closing bar involving a translation of said bar parallel to the panel plane.
  • the present invention aims at providing a locking device equipped with a new and different movement-transmitting system.
  • a locking device has been generally identified by reference numeral 1.
  • Such a device will be preferably usable on panels or doors of metal material to enable locking/unlocking of the cabinet door.
  • the device consists of a support structure 2 (in turn made up of several different components), a driving element 3 or handle associated with the support structure 2, locking means 4 (only partly shown in Fig. 1 and further highlighted in Fig. 4) and transmission means 5 moved by the driving handle 3 and set to transmit motion to the locking means 4.
  • the support structure 2 is intended to enable engagement of the locking device with a sheet metal 19 defining the wall of a panel or door of the cabinet with which the device is to be engaged.
  • the sheet metal is provided with two preferably identical holes 18, 21 of substantially rectangular shape arranged to be passed through and hooked by the locking device thereby enabling steady and irremovable engagement of same with the sheet metal.
  • a base body 20 is provided, at its lower portion, with a shoulder 22 adapted to pass through the second hole 21 centring the device at the lower part thereof and enabling fastening of same to the sheet metal 19 by a closing lid 23, fastened by means of screws to shoulder 22 for example, and provided with an abutment surface adapted to abut against the sheet metal wall opposite to that against which the base element 20 abuts.
  • the support structure 2 comprises a first and a second shell halves 14, 15 arranged to be coupled with each other to define a housing cavity for the transmission means 5 which is movable within this cavity.
  • centring body 16 hooked to the shell halves 14 and 15 and the base element 20 are disposed at opposite sides of the sheet metal and actually clasp it.
  • the driving element 3 or handle is arranged to be constrained to the support structure at an upper portion thereof so that it is movable in rotation around an axis 11.
  • handle 3 in a rest condition, handle 3 will be disposed parallel to the base element 20, its extension axis being substantially vertical (arrangement shown in Fig. 1).
  • a lock, of the cylinder type for example (not shown), contained in the housing seat 24 will enable the handle to be blocked to a vertical position allowing the cabinet to be locked or not.
  • the driving handle 3 may consist of different components and also be provided with a closing lid 26 slidable along its extension axis on the main body of the handle to conceal/show access to the lock.
  • the closing lid 26 is movable between a condition in which it prevents insertion of the key in a lock present in the handle and a position in which on the contrary insertion and unlocking of the lock is allowed.
  • a grip portion 26a of said lid projects from the handle at the lower part thereof and allows easy extraction of the whole driving element 3 to enable rotation of the handle itself and therefore opening of the cabinet.
  • the driving element 3 when in operation, is movable between at least one first and one second operating conditions; in particular it is movable in rotation from the first to the second operating conditions around axis 11 which is substantially coincident with the rotation axis of the rotating body 6 with which it is rigidly in engagement for rotation through a tailpiece 25.
  • the previously mentioned transmission means 5 is moved by handle 3 and transmits motion to the locking means 4.
  • This transmission means 5 comprises the hollow rotating body 6 driven in rotation by the tailpiece 25; body 6 in turn transmits motion to a transmission structure 7 interposed between the rotating body itself and the locking means 4 so as to enable displacement of the locking means 4, following movement of the rotating body 6, at least between a locked condition and an unlocked condition, as better specified in the following.
  • the transmission structure 7 is of a deformable nature and its geometry varies when the locking means 4 moves from the locked condition to the unlocked condition.
  • the transmission structure has its median axis bent on the rotating body 6 in the unlocked condition of the locking means 4, whereas its median axis is straight and in the extension of the axis of a slidable arm 8 in the locked condition of the locking means (Fig. 1).
  • the same consists of a predetermined number of articulated elements 10 hinged on each other.
  • first one of these elements is hinged on an appropriate expansion of the rotating body 6, whereas the last articulated element is hinged on the locking means 4.
  • any number of articulated elements may be provided depending on the construction requirements and the strokes of the locking means.
  • the support structure 2 is provided with appropriate shaped seats 12, 13 set to receive and guide the rotating body 6 and transmission structure 7 respectively, during movement.
  • the shaped seats 12, 13 are defined on at least one and preferably both of the shell halves 14, 15.
  • the locking means 4 (see Fig. 4 for example) is made up of at least one slidable arm 8 having a first end 8a associated with the transmission structure 7 and a second end 8b in engagement with a bar 9 at a first end 9a thereof.
  • Bar 9 may have any length depending on the operating requirements (bars of different sizes and shapes are shown in Fig. 4) and, at the other end 9b thereof, said bars are arranged in such a manner as to enable hooking to the closing bolts of a panel, door or the like.
  • the preferred, although not exclusive, embodiment involves the presence of two transmission structures 7 in engagement with the rotating body 6 at opposite positions of the latter.
  • Rotation of body 6 causes the transmission structure 7 to be pulled along with it deforming it from the straight condition shown in Fig. 1 to a condition of partial winding on the rotating body.
  • This movement of the transmission structure 7 in turn involves a translation of the slidable arms along their axes, said arms in turn carrying bars 9 along with them in their movement.
  • a rotation from the first (vertical) condition to the second (horizontal) operating condition of the driving element or handle involves a displacement from the locked condition to the unlocked condition of the locking means 4 and therefore enables opening of the cabinet door.
  • the shaped seats 12 and 13 present on one of the shell halves 14, 15 guide both the rotating body and transmission structure 7 in their movement (the former in rotation and the latter on moving from the straight condition to the condition wound by the rotating body), and also guide the slidable arm 8 in a vertical translational movement.
  • the invention achieves important advantages.
  • the transmission structure enables concentration of stresses within the structure itself to be avoided as much as possible, thereby reducing accidental breaking of the device and increasing the operating life of same.
