Abstract
A locking-mechanism control means having a push rod which controls the adjustment of door-mounted catches, it being possible for the catches to be locked in relation to the door frame, having a first and a second adjustable blocking device arranged in the door. It is further possible for said blocking devices to be adjusted in dependence on the door movement, and one of the blocking devices arresting the push rod in the open position when the door is open. A driver is provided on the push rod and can be coupled to a rod which executes a movement corresponding to the push rod in order for an arresting unit, which engages with the door in the closed state of the latter, to be displaced out of engagement with the door in the open position of the latter.
Description
BACKGROUND
The invention relates to a loocking-mechanism control means.
DE 196 28 010, DE 196 28 011 and DE 196 28 012 describe locking-mechanism control means in the case of which a movement of a push rod released, for example, by a lock causes lateral catches to be adjusted, with the result that the lateral catches, in dependence on the relevant movement of the push rod, are adjusted between an open position and a closed position. The main aim of this locking-mechanism control means is to avoid accidental adjustment of the catches into the closed position once the catches have been adjusted into the open position following opening of the door. For this purpose, blocking devices, preferably in the form of adjustable rods, are provided for the abovementioned locking-mechanism control means, one blocking device serving for preventing the movement of the push rod in the case of the open position, in order to prevent the catches from extending when the door is open, while the other blocking device avoids adjustment of the first blocking device out of that position in which the first blocking device blocks the push-rod displacement.
It has been found in practice that, in the case of incomplete opening of the locking mechanism, i.e. in the case of movement of the push rod into the open position not fully executed on account of adjustment problems, the catches may be displaced, at least in part, in the direction of the closed position again although the door is already open.
SUMMARY
The object of the invention is thus to improve a locking-mechanism control means of the type mentioned in the introduction such that, once the door has been opened, the catches are reliably prevented from extending again.
This object is achieved according to the invention by the features specified in Patent claim
1
.
Further configurations of the locking-mechanism control means can be gathered from the subclaims.
The invention relates to a locking-mechanism control means. For the overall functioning of such a locking-mechanism control means, you are expressly referred to DE 196 28 010, DE 196 28 011 and DE 196 28 012.
The locking-mechanism control means according to the invention differs from the known locking-mechanism control means essentially by the fact that the push rod is coupled to a driver device which, during movement of the push rod into that position in which the catches are open, displaces a piston rod, which is provided on the door, such that the free end of the piston rod disengages a frame-mounted blocking bolt from the door. In order to achieve this, the piston rod has to be adjusted to the extent where the blocking bolt disengages fully from the door, which, in turn, is only achieved when the push-rod movement is fully executed such that the catches are displaced not just in part, but fully into their open position, in which they can be arrested in relation to the push rod by driver bolts. If, in contrast, the push rod is not displaced as far into that position in which arresting between the catch and push rod is ensured, it is also the case that the piston rod is not extended to the extent where the blocking bolt disengages from the door. Accordingly, the door can only be opened when, following full actuation of the door handle, which brings about the push-rod displacement, or of the relevant handgrip, in the lock region, the piston rod is extended to the extent where the frame-mounted blocking bolt is displaced out of engagement with the door. The movement of the piston rod here is a control for the adjustment of the push rod.
In the case of one embodiment of the locking control means, the piston rod is provided such that it can be adjusted in the vertical direction, and the catch, when the door is closed, is located in the door frame, above the door, in alignment with the piston rod, and is preferably prestressed resiliently, i.e. prestressed resiliently in the downward direction, towards the door. Formed in the top end edge of the door is an opening in which the blocking bolt engages, on account of its spring prestressing, when the piston rod, on account of the closed position of the push rod, has been retracted or drawn back into the door.
Further configurations and embodiments of the locking-mechanism control means according to the invention can be gathered from the subclaims.
A preferred embodiment of the locking-mechanism control means is described hereinbelow with reference to the drawings for the purpose of explaining further features and advantages.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A preferred embodiment of the locking-mechanism control means according to the invention is described hereinbelow with reference to the drawings.
In so far as the locking-mechanism control means according to the invention has a push rod with catches articulated thereon preferably in a rotatable manner, the functioning corresponds, for example, to the already mentioned DE 196 28 010, DE 196 28 011, DE 196 28 012, to which you are referred. In the case of the locking mechanism according to the invention, a preferably vertical displaceable push rod
1
is provided on the door, the movement of said push rod being controlled via a lock or the like. Located vertically one above the other to the side of the door are a plurality of catches
2
, which can each be adjusted simultaneously and in dependence on the movement of the push rod. In the locked state, the at least one catch
2
engages in corresponding openings of the door frame, these openings not being indicated specifically. It is possible to provide in the door, in addition to the catches
2
, a secondary lock which, as appropriate, is likewise actuated by a lock or the like.
FIG. 1
shows one of the catches
2
in the extended position, i.e. in its locking position, the catch
2
in the embodiment according to
FIG. 1
constituting the uppermost door-mounted catch which, via a driver pin
3
, is in functional engagement with a corresponding, preferably L-shaped guide
4
in the push rod
1
. The driver pin
3
is fixed on the relevant catch
2
. Rotation in the catch
2
takes place about a spindle which is designated
5
, and about which the catch
2
is mounted in a rotatable manner. It can be seen that the catch
2
or the rotary spindle
5
is mounted on the door, to the side of the push rod
1
. The position of the catch
2
in its two end positions can be gathered from a comparison of
FIGS. 1 and 2
. On the push rod
1
, an arresting element
7
is provided for the catch
2
, said element having a recess
7
a
which engages with a pin
8
or the like, projecting laterally from the catch
2
, when the catch
2
or all the catches
2
assumes/assume the locking position shown in FIG.
1
. This prevents the catch or catches
2
being displaced into an open position by the use of force from the outside.
In the case of a preferred embodiment, the arresting element
7
is provided with a driver element
10
, it also being possible for the driver element
10
to be fitted directly on the push rod
1
. The driver element
10
can be displaced in relation to a piston rod
11
, in the direction of the axis of the piston rod
11
. In the case of the embodiment shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2
, the piston rod
11
is preferably guided such that it can be displaced in a vertical direction. A first guide device
14
and a second guide device
15
are preferably provided, it being possible for these to be formed respectively, for example, by guide plates with an opening corresponding to the piston rod and by a guide cylinder for a cylindrical element
17
provided on the piston rod
11
. In the case of the embodiment illustrated, the guide device
14
is fastened on the door and has an opening
14
a
through which the piston rod
11
is guided in the region of its right-hand end, as seen in FIG.
1
. The second guide device
15
here comprises a cylindrical part with a cylindrical element
17
guided therein.
Coaxially in relation to the cylindrical guide device
15
, which is provided on the door, a blocking bolt
18
is located on the frame, which bolt can be adjusted coaxially in relation to, or in alignment with, the piston rod
11
and is prestressed in the direction of the door by a spring (not shown). The compression spring, which prestresses the blocking bolt
18
downwards or in the direction of the door, is arranged within a cylindrical accommodating part
19
.
If the door is closed (FIG.
1
), the blocking bolt
18
protrudes in relation to the frame and projects into the cylindrical guide device
15
, as a result of which opening of the door is ruled out when the piston rod
11
, with the cylindrical element
17
, has been displaced back into the door in relation to the top edge, designated
15
a
, and thus makes it possible for the blocking bolt
18
to engage in the freed interior of the cylindrical guide device
15
. If, in contrast, according to
FIG. 2
, the piston rod
11
has been displaced upwards to the top edge of the door such that the cylindrical element
17
has its upwardly oriented surface
17
a
aligned in relation to the upwardly oriented surface
15
a
of the guide device
15
, or protrudes upwards in relation to the end surface
15
a
, the blocking bolt
18
is moved into its cylindrical accommodating part
19
and displaced out of engagement with the door. In this state, the door can be opened, it being the case that, during the opening operation, the blocking bolt
18
runs off on a sloping run-off path
20
, which adjoins the guide device
15
on the door. In this respect, you are referred to
FIG. 3
, which illustrates, schematically, the run-off path
20
to the side of the cylindrical guide device
15
. During closure of the door in the case of the preferred embodiment, in contrast, the blocking bolt
18
runs on the top edge of the door, along the path
20
, until the door is located within the frame and the blocking bolt
18
is coaxial in relation to the cylindrical element
17
, in order, once the piston rod
11
has been moved back, to engage in the cutout which has been released as a result within the guide device
15
, above the drawn-back cylindrical element
17
.
FIG. 1
shows the state in which the door is closed and the blocking bolt
18
engages in the freed opening with the guide device
15
, above the cylindrical element
17
, while according to
FIG. 3
the door has been displaced into the “open” position by corresponding actuation of the door handle, which is not illustrated in FIG.
3
. In the latter state, the push rod
1
has been displaced upwards in relation to
FIG. 1
, as a result of which the catch
2
assumes it dashed position in FIG.
2
and allows the door opening, into which the catch
2
is displaced back in the clockwise direction in FIG.
2
. This rearward displacement takes place on account of the engagement of the driver pin
3
, which is preferably fastened on the catch
2
and engages in the guide
4
of the push rod
1
. By virtue of the push rod
1
moving in the direction of an arrow designated
22
, the catch
2
or the catches is/are thus pivoted by the driver bolt
3
until each catch
2
assumes the open position shown in FIG.
2
. In this open position, the pin
8
does not engage with the cutout
7
a
. Furthermore, the driver pin
3
passes into the step-like cutout designated
4
a
within the push rod
1
, which results in the catch
2
remaining arrested in this open position. In order to achieve this setting, it is necessary for the push rod
1
to be displaced to the far left, i.e. upwards, in
FIG. 2
, to be precise to the extent where, at the same time, the piston rod
11
is advanced in the direction of the blocking bolt
18
to the extent where the blocking bolt
18
disengages from the guide device
15
.
During subsequent opening of the door from the position shown in
FIG. 2
, a first blocking device, designated
24
, and a second blocking device, designated
26
, is s activated. Both blocking devices
24
,
26
are provided, at their free end, preferably with a respective roller
27
,
28
, these rollers sliding along the associated door frame. For each roller
27
,
28
, a corresponding guide path with a corresponding slope is provided on the frame in order for the blocking devices
24
,
26
to be extended slowly out of the door, in order to allow the blocking devices
24
,
26
, from the position shown in
FIG. 1
in each case, to assume the position shown in
FIG. 2
in each case. During the opening operation of the door, the blocking device
24
, which is subjected to spring prestressing, is moved outwards out of the position shown in
FIG. 1
, which results in a blocking bolt
30
, associated with the first blocking device
24
, disengaging from a blocking plate
32
with recess
33
, which are both constituent parts of the second blocking device
26
. At the same time, the second blocking device
26
, under the action of a prestressing spring (not shown), is likewise moved out of the door, to be precise in the direction of the arrow
22
, until the second blocking device
26
the blocking bolt
30
of the first blocking device. This ensures that, in the open state, the first blocking device
24
is blocked against displacement into the door since the blocking bolt
30
butts wholly or partially against the blocking plate
32
.
With the door in the open position shown in
FIG. 2
, in which the door has been unlocked at the same time, the first blocking device
24
has the function of preventing adjustment of the push rod
1
in a direction counter to the arrow
22
. For this purpose, the first blocking device
24
preferably has a plate-like blocking means
30
a
which comes into abutment against a mating plate
31
or the like, provided on the push rod
1
when the door is opened and unlocked.
The closing operation takes place in reverse order. During closure of the door, the blocking devices
24
and
26
are displaced into the door such that the plate
32
is displaced in the direction counter to the arrow
22
to the extent where the opening
33
located in the plate
32
is aligned in relation to the blocking bolt
30
of the first blocking device. This makes it possible, during the closing movement of the door, for the first blocking device
24
likewise to be displaced into the door, in the direction of an arrow
35
(FIG.
2
), into the position according to
FIG. 1
, which results in the blocking means
30
a
and the mating plate
32
disengaging and in it being possible for the push rod
1
to execute a movement in the direction counter to the arrow
22
. At the same time as the push rod is moved in the direction counter to the arrow
22
, the piston rod
11
is displaced into the door, i.e. drawn back, more or less parallel to the push rod
1
, this resulting in displacement of the cylindrical element
17
within the guide device
15
, with the result that the blocking bolt
18
can engage in the opening which is released as a result within the guide device
15
.
Both the first and second blocking devices
24
,
26
are subjected to spring prestressing, with the result that the associatet rollers
27
,
28
are extended automatically out of he door as soon as the door is opened, and the rollers
27
,
28
slide along the door frame on a correspondingly sloping run-off path.
Acomparison between
FIGS. 1 and 2
shows that, in the state accordiing to
FIG. 1
, i.e. when the door is closed and locked, the first and the second blocking devices
24
,
26
have been retracted into the door, the second blocking device
26
butting, by the way of the roller
28
, against a run-off path
37
, of which the surface is offset in the direction of the door in relation to the associated door frame, while in the state accordiing to
FIG. 2
the two blocking devices have been extended, by way of the rollers
27
,
28
, in relation to the door.
The functioning of the locking-mechanism control means according to the invention is explained briefly hereinbelow taking
FIG. 1
as the departure point. If the door is closed and locked, all the catches
2
are extended, and the push rod
1
is located in a position in which it assumes a so-called “bottom” position. It should be noted here that the illustration according to
FIG. 1
shows an embodiment in the case of which that frame part which accommodates the blocking bolt
18
forms the top end side of the frame and that part of the door which contains the guide device
15
constitutes the top end side of the door. The catches
2
, on the other hand, are located on the freely movable lateral section of the door. The push rod
1
is arranged vertically and is displaced between a bottom position (
FIG. 1
) and a top position (FIG.
2
). By virtue of the corresponding adjustment of a door handle or the like, the push rod
1
from
FIG. 1
is displaced in the direction of the arrow
22
, which results in all the catches
2
being rotated in the anticlockwise direction about their spindle
5
. At the same time as the movement of the push rod
1
, the arresting element articulated thereon, or the driver
10
connected to the push rod
1
, is likewise displaced in the direction of the arrow
22
, as a result of which the driver
10
, as a result of engaging with an arresting means, for example in the form of nuts
38
arranged on the piston rod, executes a movement of the push rod
1
parallel to the arrow
22
and thus forces the cylindrical element
17
, located at the top end of said rod, against the blocking bolt
18
until the cylindrical element
17
projects upwards slightly beyond the guide device
15
and the blocking bolt
18
disengages from the guide device
15
. This means that the end surface
17
a
of the element
17
projects beyond the end surface
15
a
of the guide device
15
. This ensures that the blocking bolt
18
disengages from the door. As soon as this state is reached, the door can be opened, and the first and second blocking devices
24
,
26
are adjusted such that, on account of the spring prestressing, the two blocking devices are extended until they reach the state which is shown in FIG.
2
.
As the partial view according to
FIG. 3
shows, there is located, on the inside of the door, a run-off path
20
in the form of a slope which, during closure of the door, causes the blocking bolt
18
, during the closing movement of the door, to slide upwards along the path
20
and to be pushed back in the upward direction until, when the door is closed, it can be advanced downwards again into the cutout
15
b
. The guide device
15
thus comprises, on the one side, the run-off path
20
and, on the other side, a preferably cylindrical sub-section
20
a.
Although the locking-mechanism control means according to the invention has been described above in relation to an embodiment which has a frame-mounted securing unit with the blocking bolt
18
and the associated adjusting device in the form of the piston rod
11
located in the vertical direction and on the top side of the door, this entire unit may also be provided on that side of the door which is freely movable or also on the bottom side of the door. If appropriate, a deflecting unit is provided between the piston-rod unit
11
and the push rod
1
in order for the movement of the piston rod
11
to be transmitted correspondingly to the piston-rod unit
11
should this be necessary.
In the case of the embodiment described, the driver or driver arm
10
engages over a mating stop in the form of, for example, nuts
38
, which are screwed onto the piston rod
11
, and thus moves the piston rod
11
in the direction of the arrow
22
when the push rod
1
moves in the direction of the arrow
22
. In the case of a further embodiment, the driver
10
is fixed to the piston rod
11
such that, when the push rod
1
moves counter to the direction of the arrow
22
, the piston rod is moved along correspondingly. In contrast to this, in the case of the embodiment illustrated, the piston rod
11
, on account of the dead weight, is moved counter to the direction of the arrow
22
when the driver
10
releases the device
38
. The piston rod
11
may, if appropriate, be spring-prestressed, to be precise counter to the direction of the arrow
22
.
While the device
38
serves to make it possible to make an adjustment in respect of the point of engagement in relation to the driver
10
, it is the case with the exemplary embodiment illustrated that corresponding securing devices, which are designated
13
a
and
13
b
, are formed on the bottom side of the rod
11
. The securing device in the form of the nuts
13
a
serve for defining the lowermost position of the rod
11
, while the securing device or nuts
13
b
serves/serve for fixing the uppermost position of the rod
11
.
FIGS. 4 and 5
show, in detail, the position of the catches
2
.
FIG. 4
represents the state of the catch or catches
2
when the door is closed and locked, while
FIG. 5
illustrates the state of each catch
2
in which the door is opened and unlocked. In the closed and locked state, the driver pin
3
is located in a section of the guide
4
which runs largely parallel to the push rod
1
, while in the open and unlocked state of the door the driver pin
3
has been displaced into the blocking section
4
a
such that the catch
2
is blocked against rotating further out of the door into the state according to
FIG. 4
if the push rod
1
remains unactuated. In the closed and locked state, in contrast, each catch
2
is additionally arrested by the arresting element
7
, with the result that a forcing action from the outside does not make it possible to displace the catches
2
into an open position.
The push rod
1
has one or more guide slots
36
in which guide elements in the form of guide pins
36
a
engage for the purpose of guiding the push rod
1
during the movement of the same.
FIG. 6
shows an example of the lock unit or door-handle-actuation unit for the purpose of adjusting the push rod
1
. In the case of the embodiment illustrated, activating the lock cylinder
40
b
by means of a key or the like moves a nose
41
of the lock cylinder, which results in a lever which is designated
42
being adjusted into its position illustrated by dashed lines, at
42
′, in FIG.
6
. This, for example, U-shaped lever
42
is mounted such that it can be rotated about a spindle
43
. On one of its free legs, the lever
42
has tooth-like protrusions
44
a
,
44
b
, which engage in corresponding accommodating grooves
45
a
,
45
b
of a rod
46
when the push rod
1
is located in its blocking position. By virtue of the nose
41
, the lever
42
is rotated in the clockwise direction about the spindle
43
, as a result of which its teeth
44
a
,
44
b
release the grooves
45
a
,
45
b
of the rod
46
and the rod
46
is displaced to the left in
FIG. 2
by virtue of movement of the nose, in the anticlockwise direction, about the associated spindle. In the case of this embodiment, the movement of the rod
46
rotates a coupling element
47
, for example in the form of a rocker
47
, in the clockwise direction, as a result of which a further rod
48
which is coupled thereto is displaced. The rod
48
bears a bolt
49
or the like which, for its part, is moved together with the rod
48
, corresponding to the movement direction of said rod
48
, until it assumes a position illustrated by dashes, which is designated
49
′. The bolt
49
runs perpendicularly to the rod
48
and, by virtue of the rod
48
being displaced, is displaced into a slot or a cutout
50
of the shaft
39
, on the one hand, and of the driver lever
34
, on the other hand, as a result of which the shaft
39
and the driver lever
34
are coupled mechanically to one another. Rotation of the driver lever
34
in the anticlockwise direction causes the push rod to be adjusted upon actuation of a handgrip, door handle or the like which is connected to a square stub
40
a
. In the case of the preferred embodiment illustrated, the rocker
47
is mounted approximately centrally on a spindle and has its two free ends inserted into corresponding cutouts
52
and
53
of the respective rods
46
and
48
. The rods
46
,
48
are guided by guide pins, which are not indicated specifically and engage in longitudinal slots of the rods
46
,
48
.
The lever
42
, of essentially U-shaped configuration, is prestressed by a spring
51
such that the lever
42
is prestressed in the anticlockwise direction in relation to the spindle
43
and, by way of its first leg, which bears the teeth
44
a
,
44
b
, engages with the cutouts
45
a
,
45
b
of the rod
46
. Activation of the lock cylinder and rotation of the nose
41
of the latter thus rotate the lever
42
in the clockwise direction about a spindle
43
, with the result that the nose
41
, for the purpose of rotating the lever
42
, acts on the leg which is located opposite the leg which bears the teeth
44
a
,
44
b
. As soon as the nose
41
of the lock cylinder
40
is no longer acting on the associated leg of the lever
42
, the lever
42
is set back, by the action of the spring
51
, into its starting position, in which its arresting teeth
44
a
,
44
b
engage with the associated arresting grooves
45
a
,
45
b
of the rod
46
.
It is thus the case overall with the embodiment shown that adjustment of the push rod
1
is only possible when the lock is activated correspondingly and then a door handle, lever or the like which is connected to the square stub
40
a
is actuated. According to the invention, this achieves the situation where the door can only be opened when the door handle with the square stub
40
a
is actuated to the extent where, on the one hand, all the catches
2
are rotated into the open position and, on the other hand, the push rod
1
is moved to the extent where the piston rod
11
is raised or displaced into the position according to
FIG. 2
, with the result that the door is released in respect of the blocking bolt
18
.
Although it is a specific embodiment of a mechanical coupling between the lock, on the one hand, and push rod
1
, on the other hand, which has been illustrated above, it is also possible to use any other configuration of lock. If the lock according to
FIG. 6
is actuated into the blocking or locking position, horizontally arranged blocking bolts, which are not illustrated specifically and are provided in addition to the catches
2
, can be extended from the door into the frame located opposite. It can be seen that it is also possible to use any other manner of lock actuation in order for the push rod
1
to be displaced in the vertical direction so as to reach the positions shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2
.
By virtue of a corresponding adjustment between the device
48
, on the one hand, and the driver
10
, on the other hand, it is possible to ensure that, with the catches
2
retracted, door opening is possible when, and only when, the piston rod
11
has had its top pressure-exerting element
17
displaced beyond the guide device
15
to a slight extent. This rules out any movement of the catches
2
back into an “extended” state similar to FIG.
3
. It is also thus ensured that, once the door has been opened, the catches
2
remain in the retracted position until the door is displaced in the direction of the frame and closed, in which case it is only then that the catches
2
can be extended out of the door again.
