Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lock with a latch for a door or a window of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the latch of a door lock is used to automatically lock when the door is closed and to hold the door in the closed position.
  • the latch can be pulled from its normal position against spring force into the lock to release the door.
  • This retraction of the trap can be done by a handle operated nut and / or by a key operated element, e.g. a lock cylinder, can be effected via suitable gear elements.
  • a burglar alarm function e.g. a key-operated bolt of the lock does not apply to such a case.
  • the extent of their engagement in the striker plate on the frame side is too small, on the other hand, a latch can easily be pushed back against the spring force into the lock from the outside using a suitable tool, which acts, for example, on the inclined surface of the latch.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a lock of the type mentioned so that the case is additionally equipped with a burglar-resistant function, preferably with a burglar-proof function corresponding to a key-operated bolt.
  • a slider can be moved by rotating the nut in the direction opposite the opening direction in such a way that it pushes the latch out of its normal position by an additional amount from the lock, so that it has a sufficient depth of engagement in the striker plate on the frame intervenes.
  • the latch is preferably blocked in this advanced position against being pulled into the lock.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of the lock according to the invention in the normal position, with the lock housing open and partly in section.
  • FIG. 2 in a similar representation as Figure 1, the upper part of the lock in the closed position.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 are important for understanding the invention.
  • the lock 1 shown in Fig. 1 is intended for insertion into the vertical spar of a door or window sash frame and is particularly suitable for use with sash frames whose spars are made of metal or plastic profiles, but can also be used with 'wooden windows or doors .
  • the lock housing Of the lock housing, only the rear side wall 3 in the drawing and the rebate-side front wall or faceplate 5 are shown.
  • An opening for inserting a locking cylinder is indicated at 7.
  • the side wall 3 of the lock housing has numerous openings, projections, pins and. the like on, which serve for the cohesion of the lock housing and for the storage or guidance of the movable parts of the lock, but of which only those are shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, which are necessary for understanding the invention.
  • the lock shown is an espagnolette lock, ie there are two drive rods 9, 11 slidably mounted below the faceplate 5, which can be moved from the open position shown in FIG. 1 into a locking position in which they lock the lock with the lock in a known manner provided door or window sash on the frame in cooperation with the frame side striking plates or bolt recesses.
  • the presence of the drive rods 9, 11 is not absolutely necessary for the invention.
  • the invention can also be applied to a lock which has no drive rods or only a single drive rod.
  • a nut 13 is rotatably mounted, which is shown in Fig. 4 from the front and in Fig. 4a from the back.
  • the nut 13 has a square opening 15 for the passage of a trigger mandrel.
  • spring stop surfaces 17, 19 are formed by projections, between which the arms of a fork-shaped spring 21 engage.
  • the spring 21 is mounted on a bearing journal 23 fixed to the housing and its arms rest against two stops 25, 27 fixed to the housing.
  • the spring 21 therefore holds the nut 13 in a defined angular position (normal position), from which the nut can be turned in one direction of rotation (opening direction) or in the opposite direction by actuating the lever, in which case one of the two arms of the spring then rotates 21 moved away from the associated stop 25 or 27.
  • a latch control arm 29 which is shown in FIG. 5
  • a toothed wheel 31 which is shown in FIG. 6, the latch control arm 29 lies between the nut 13 and the gear 31.
  • the nut 13 has on its back (seen in FIG. 1) an axially projecting driver 33, which in sector-shaped cutouts 35 and 37 of the latch control arm 29 and the ro SH T3
  • the profile of the front edge of the slider 65 springs back sufficiently, possibly with the formation of a small recess 74, to allow the free movement of the latch 41 from the normal position into the open position when the slider 65 is in the position according to FIG. 1 is located.
  • the edge of the slide 65 facing away from the latch 41 (the right edge in FIG. 1) is profiled in such a way that it is in contact with the pivot pin 39, an inclined section 75 of this edge being an active part which acts on the downward movement of the slide 65 in cooperation with the hinge pin 39 forces the retraction of the latch 41 from the advanced locking position into the normal position.
  • a tooth 77 is also formed, which engages in a suitable opening of the upper drive rod 11 in order to displace it.
  • the latch control lever 29 is spring-loaded by the extended arm of a spring 79, which rests against a stop 81 bent up on the latch control lever 29.
  • the spring 79 is wound in one or more screw turns around a bearing journal 85 fastened in the lock housing, and its other arm is clamped in a notch 87 in the side wall 3 of the lock housing.
  • the latch control lever 29 and thus also the latch 41 is spring-loaded in the extension direction by the spring 79, and the hinge pin 39 is held in contact with the rear edge of the slide 65 by the force of the spring 79.
  • a projecting pin 89 is formed, which engages in an arcuate slot 91 in the rear lock side wall 3.
  • a beak 93 projecting toward the latch 41 is formed, which bears against the ramp 49 of the latch 41, approximately at the apex of the ramp 49.
  • This beak 93 has no function for the operation of the lock, but only serves as an assembly aid.
  • Fig. 1 shows the normal position, in which the nut 13 is held in its normal position or middle position by the spring 21.
  • the slide 65 is in its lower öi 1 K ⁇ Kl ro G
