DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
Referring to
FIG. 1
, there is shown an anti-burglar device of a door locker
1
having a rotating button
11
, a rotating shaft body
2
and an external gear
24
. One end face of the rotating shaft body
2
is provided with a combination hole
21
, and the shape of the combination hole
21
matches the shape of the rotating button
11
of the door locker
1
. Thus, the combination hole
21
of the rotating shaft body
2
can be matching mounted onto the rotating button of the door locker
1
.
The external diameter of the rotating shaft body
2
is provided with screw hole
22
which is perpendicular in communication to the combination hole
21
, and the screw hole
22
is engaged with a screw bolt
23
. Thus, the rotating shaft body
2
is securely fastened to the position of the rotating button
11
.
The other end of the rotating shaft body
2
is provided with the external gear
24
having one end being extended to form a branch axle
25
. The tail end of the axle
25
is provided with a sunken hole
26
and the interior of the sunken hole
26
contains a spring
27
and an insertion peg
28
.
The axle
25
of the rotating shaft
2
is mounted in sequence, the spring
3
and the sleeve
4
, and the spring
3
urges between the rotating shaft body
2
and the sleeve
4
.
One end of the sleeve
4
is a tube opening
41
which is hollow, and the opening diameter of the tube opening
41
can mount to the external diameter of the rotating shaft body
2
. The interior of the sleeve
4
is provided with an internal gear
42
and the internal gear
42
and the external gear
24
of the rotating shaft body
2
are matched. The other end of the sleeve
4
is provided with a shaft hole
43
, and the shaft hole
43
allows the tail end of the axle
25
to pass through.
Finally, the tail end of the axle
25
is mounted with a securing button
5
and the inner wall position of the securing button
5
is provided with a sunken hole
51
and a slanting slot
52
. By the guiding of the slanting slot
52
, the sunken hole
51
of the securing button
5
allows one end of the insertion peg
28
within the sunken hole
26
at the tail end of the axle
25
to be secured, such that the sleeve
4
will not be dislocated.
As shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2
, normally, the internal gear
42
and the external gear
24
are far apart, and the sleeve
4
is free to rotate at the axle
25
, as shown in FIG.
2
.
Referring to
FIGS. 1
,
3
and
4
, in locking or unlocking process, a force is exerted onto the sleeve
4
such that the internal gear
42
of the sleeve
4
and the external gear
24
are in engaged with each other, and the sleeve
4
is rotated so as to rotate the rotating button
11
. Thus, the latch of the door locker
1
is unlocked or locked.
In view of the above, the rotating button
11
is incorporated with a special sleeve
4
structure so that under normal condition, the sleeve is free and when the sleeve
4
is rotated, the latch of the locker
1
will not be moved.
When to lock or unlock the latch, a continuous force is applied to the sleeve
4
so that the internal gear
42
and the external gear
24
are engaged so as to drive the latch. Accordingly, the present invention provides an anti-burglar device of a door locker which mitigates the conventional door locker structure.
It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together many also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.
While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the detail above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
