The push-down cover 20, disposed over the depression-mounting frame 21, has a surface (the inner surface) to directly contact the press-down rocker arm 210. The extension linkage 22 has a main extension bar, an auxiliary extension bar and two hook elements 220. One of the two hook elements 220 is coupled with the main extension bar, the auxiliary extension bar is coupled with the main extension bar, and another hook element 220 is coupled with the auxiliary extension bar. The aforesaid coupling means between any two of the foregoing extension bars and hook elements can be a pin-hole means or a screw-tight means. For example, the hook element 220 couples the main extension bar or the auxiliary extension bar, respectively, via the pin-hole means, and the auxiliary extension bar is tightly screwed to the main extension bar. In particular, the coupling between the auxiliary extension bar and the main extension bar can be adjustable so as to vary a total length of the extension linkage 22. Thereupon, in the case that the extension linkage 22 is to hook two objects but provides insufficient lengths, the two hook elements220 can vary positions at the extension linkage 22, so that the extension linkage 22 can apply the two hook elements 220 to hook the corresponding objects.

One end of the auxiliary lock tongue 31 protrudes out of the auxiliary lock-mounting frame 30, and a bottom portion of the auxiliary lock tongue 31 is furnished with an auxiliary-lock push member (not shown in the figure). The auxiliary-lock push member can be retrieved into the auxiliary lock tongue 31. The auxiliary-lock pull member 32 is connected with another end of the auxiliary lock tongue 31.
An auxiliary-lock pivotal pin 330 is introduced to penetrate through one end of the first auxiliary-lock connection link 33, an auxiliary-lock connection spring 331 and another end of the auxiliary-lock pull member 32, so that the first auxiliary-lock connection link 33 can be pivotally connected with the auxiliary-lock pull member 32.
One end of the auxiliary-lock connection spring 331 contacts against the first auxiliary-lock connection link 33, while another end of the auxiliary-lock connection spring 331 contacts against the auxiliary-lock pull member 32. A connection pin 360 is used to penetrate through another end of the first auxiliary-lock connection link 33 and the second auxiliary-lock connection link 36, so that the first auxiliary-lock connection link 33 can be pivotally connected with the second auxiliary-lock connection link 36.
Referring to
Since the screw-tight coupling between the second auxiliary-lock extension bar and the main auxiliary-lock extension bar is adjustable to vary a total length of the auxiliary-lock extension linkage 34. Thereupon, in the case that the auxiliary-lock extension linkage 34 is to hook two objects but provides insufficient lengths, the two auxiliary-lock hook elements 340 can vary positions at the auxiliary-lock extension linkage 34, so that the auxiliary-lock extension linkage 34 can apply the two auxiliary-lock hook elements 340 to hook the corresponding objects.

The action end 156 of the action member 154 depresses the depression end 152 of the depression rocker arm 15, and then the push end 153 is rotated to push the pivotal pin 131, so that rotation between the pushed member 13 and the connection link 14 is made. Thereupon, the lock tongue 11 is retrieved into the main mounting frame structure 10. In this state, the lock tongue 11 compresses the lock-tongue torsion spring 111, the pushed member 13 is forced by the compressed torsion spring 111, and the action member 154 compresses the rocker-arm torsion spring 151.
Referring to
Since the lock tongue 11 is retrieved into the main lock set 10, and the auxiliary lock tongue 31 is retrieved into the auxiliary lock-mounting frame 30, thus the safety door furnished with the aforesaid door lock assembly can be shifted from a locking state to an unlock state, so that the safety door can be opened.
After the safety door is opened, and the push-down cover 20 is released, then the push-down torsion spring 213 would drive the press-down rocker arm 210 back to its initial position. In other words, the push-down cover 20 is sent back to a depression-free position. The lock-tongue torsion spring 111 of this disclosure is to provide a spring force for driving the lock tongue 11 to a state of protruding out of the main mounting frame structure 100; i.e., the state prior to the lock tongue 11 being retrieved into the main mounting frame structure 100.
The push spring is to provide a spring force for driving the push member 12 to protrude out of the lock tongue 11, and another torsion spring is to provide a spring force to drive the pushed member 13 back to its initial position.
The rocker-arm torsion spring 151 is to provide a spring force to drive the action member 154 and the depression rocker arm 15 back to the corresponding initial positions. The auxiliary torsion spring 162 is to provide a spring force for driving the auxiliary rocker arm 160 back to its initial position. The auxiliary-lock connection spring 331 is to provide a spring force for driving the first auxiliary-lock connection link 33 back to its initial position. Also, the auxiliary-lock torsion spring 331 is to provide a spring force for driving the auxiliary lock tongue 31 to protrude out of the auxiliary lock-mounting frame 30. Namely, the auxiliary-lock push member is sent back to its initial position, and thus protrudes out of the auxiliary lock tongue 31.
Since the lock tongue 11 is controlled by the pushed member 13 to protrude or retrieve with respect to the main lock set 10, thus, when the safety door is in the locking state, the lock tongue 11 restrained by the pushed member 13 is unable to be retrieved back to the main lock set 10, even that the lock tongue 11 is forced by any arbitrary foreign forcing. Thereupon, the safety door would not be easy to be pried open, and thus possible illegal invasion by unexpected persons via the safety door would be inhibited.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present disclosure.
