Closable Pivot Handle Lock

Abstract

A pivot handle lock for doors or lids of cabinets or other receptacles, and comprising a housing insertable into a cutout of the door or lid and having a depression-like recess, in which is disposed a pivot handle that is provided with a grip depression and is pivotably out of the housing. A latch is pivotably mounted on a portion of the housing projecting from the inner side of the door or lid, the pivot handle being adapted to actuate the latch. A rotary lock having an actuating shaft supporting a rotatable tongue is disposed in the housing such that in a closed position of the rotary lock, the tongue blocks pivot movement of the latch.

Claims

1. A pivot handle lock for doors or lids of cabinets or other receptacles, comprising: a housing (14) that is insertable into a cutout of a door (10) or lid, wherein said housing (14) is provided with a depression-like recess (15);a pivot handle (16) disposed in said recess (15) and provided with a grip depression (17), wherein said pivot handle (16) is pivotable out of said housing (14);a latch (24) pivotably mounted on a portion of said housing (14) that projects from an inner side of said door (10) or lid, wherein said pivot handle (16) is adapted to actuate said latch (24); anda rotary lock (18) having an actuating shaft that supports a rotatable tongue (21), wherein said rotary lock (18) is disposed in said housing (14) in such a way that in a closed position of said rotary lock, said tongue (21) is adapted to block pivot movement of said latch (24),

2. A pivot handle lock according to claim 1, wherein a rocker member (23) is rotatably mounted on said housing (14), wherein said rocker member (23) is adapted to be actuated by said pivot handle (16) upon pivoting of said pivot handle out of said housing (14)3 wherein said rocker member (23) is provided with an extension (30) that rests against said latch (24) and acts thereupon, and wherein said tongue (21) of said rotary lock (18) is adapted to block a path of rotation of said rocker member (23) in said closed position of said rotary lock.

3. A pivot handle lock according to claim 2, wherein a spring (27) is provided for biasing said rocker member (23) in a rest position that sets a latching position of said latch (24).

4. A pivot handle lock according to claim 23 wherein an actuating pin (35) is longitudinally displaceably disposed in said housing (14), and wherein said pivot handle (16) is adapted to act upon said rocker member (23) via said actuating pin (35).

5. A pivot handle lock according to claim 43 wherein an axis of rotation (32) of said pivot handle (16) is eccentrically disposed in said housing (14) relative to a displacement axis of said actuating pin (35), and wherein a lever arm (36) is provided on said pivot handle (16) for bridging the eccentricity.

6. A pivot handle lock according to claim 2, wherein said latch (24) is mounted so as to be movable relative to said rocker member (23), and wherein a spring (25) is provided for biasing said latch (24) into a latching position.

7. A pivot handle lock according to claim 2, wherein a single pivot shaft (26) is disposed on said portion of said housing (14) that projects from the inner side of said door (10) or lid, and wherein said latch (24) and said rocker member (23) are mounted on said single pivot shaft (26) and are rotatable thereabout.

8. A pivot handle lock according to claim 4, wherein said actuating pin (35) is sealed relative to said housing (14) by means of a seal (41) that is placed in a groove (40) formed on said actuating pin (35).

9. A pivot handle lock according to claim 1, wherein two hinge pins (32) are mounted in openings (33) of said housing (14), wherein said hinge pins (32) are sealed relative to said housing (14) via seals (42) placed in said openings (33), and wherein said pivot handle (16) is mounted in said housing (14) via said hinge pins (32).

10. A pivot handle lock according to claim 9, wherein a passage of said rotary lock (18) in said housing (14) is sealed via a sealing means.

11. A pivot handle lock according to claim 1, wherein said housing (14) is sealed at a surface thereof that is adapted to rest against said door (10) or lid via a sealing means placed on said housing (14) or on said door (10) or lid.
