Abstract

275,657. Budd Manufacturing Co., E. G., (Assignees of Tarbox, J. P.). Aug. 7, 1926, [Convention date]. Latches, sliding, for use on automobile doors having sliding windows of maximum width, have the inside and outside operating handles interconnected by means extending round the hinged edges of the doors. In the example shown, the latch bolt 23 is operated on the inside by the lever 31 pivoted at 33 and engaging a lever 32 which engages the pin 30 in the latch. The extreme end 45 of the lever 32 works in a slot 44 in a bar 36 during this operation without moving the bar.' From the outside, the latch is operated by a handle 14 which slides on a plate 11 connected to a bar 35 extending round the hinged edge of the door at 38 and rigidly connected to the bar 36. The bend 38 is housed in a recess 40 in the door post. In an alternative form, Fig. 6, a pin 47 is journaled in the hinged edge of the door and has rigidly attached two arms 50, 51. to which are connected the bars 35', 36. The bolt is recessed at 27 to receive the spring 26 and slides between guides 22, 24 on the casing. The spring abuts on a flange 28 of the casing.
