DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

This Detailed Description of the Invention merely describes embodiments of the invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the claims in any way. Indeed, the invention as described is broader than and unlimited by the preferred embodiments, and the terms used have their full ordinary meaning.

An embodiment of the invention shown is a multipoint door locking system that engages and locks the door to the door jam in multiple areas along the length or width of the door using a variety of engagement methods. This system is adapted to a variety of door hardware classes, such as for example, American style door handle set hardware.

The present invention will be described for use with an exemplary single door mounted in a conventional door jam. Various assemblies of the system are linked by extension pieces that translate up and down motion between assemblies in a vertical plane. The door includes a user operated lock cylinder and a rotating doorknob or handle set. It should be understood that this application is for exemplary purposes only and the invention can be applied to a wide variety of applications.

The locking mechanism made in accordance with this invention may include a variety of specific locking mechanisms. It should be understood that such mechanisms, such as for example, shoot bolt assemblies and slide hook assemblies, may be installed at various locations and in various amounts in the practice of this invention. In an embodiment, the locking assembly includes an assembly of extension actuators and links, and a door style base that permits modular addition of various lock mechanisms at multiple locations. As a result, an installer can include any number of combination of locking mechanisms depending on the safety, cost, jurisdictional code or geometric requirements of the installation site.

Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a door 10 that includes a locking assembly 24. The door 10 includes a first cutout 12 for installation of a lock cylinder (not shown) and a second cutout 14 for installation of a door knob or handle set (not shown). For exemplary purposes only, the door 10 is shown from the outside in FIG. 1 and any locking cylinder is operable by a user at least from the opposing side. As shown, the left edge 16 of the door may include hinges (not shown) for mounting to a door frame. In the front or right edge 18 of the door, a locking assembly 24 is shown. It should be understood in the practice of the invention, that the locking assembly may include any number or type of locking mechanisms installed at a variety of locations on the door. The door 10 further includes a top edge 20 and a bottom edge 22. As shown, the locking assembly 24 is a multipoint locking assembly and extends from the top edge 20 to the bottom edge 22.

An exploded perspective view of the multipoint locking device 24 is shown in FIG. 2. An elongated base or door style 26 is mounted within the front edge 18 of the door 10. As shown, the door style 26 runs the height of the door but and length door style may be used in the practice of this invention, The device 24 further includes a plurality of locking mechanisms of different types and installed at various locations along the top edge 20, front edge 18, and bottom edge 22 of the door 10. The locking mechanism are in mechanical communication through a series of extension actuators and actuator links. In the embodiments shown, the extension and links have parallel longitudinal axes and are driven in opposing directions A₁, A₂ (see FIG. 3) by motion of a cam assembly 28, to be discussed in more detail.

An upper extension actuator 30 is disposed adjacent and parallel to the door style 26 by a cover plate 32 and a set of hardware. A long center aperture allows the extension actuator to move up and down relative to the fixed door style 26 and cover plate 32. The extension actuator has opposing ends 34, 36 with a series of notches for mechanical connection to other free moving parts, such as for example, other members or links within locking mechanisms. In the embodiment shown, a lower extension actuator 38 is disposed adjacent and parallel to the door style 26 by a cover plate 40 and a set of hardware. Similarly, a long center aperture allows the lower extension actuator 38 to move up and down relative to the fixed door style 26 and cover plate 32. As mentioned, the locking assembly 24 includes three actuator links 42, 44, 46. Two actuator links 42, 46 provide a mechanical connection between various locking mechanisms. The upper actuator link 42 connects an upper shoot bolt assembly 50 with a first upper slide hook assembly 52, while the lower actuator link 46 connects a lower shoot bolt assembly 54 with a lower slide hook assembly 56. The actuator link 44 connects the cam assembly 28 with a second upper slide hook assembly 58. The connections between components of the multipoint locking device 24 are completed by the extension actuators 34, 38 as shown. A latch assembly 60 is also included between the cam assembly 28 and lower extension actuator 38. A link member 62 is disposed in the latch but moves freely in directions A₁, A₂ relative to the door style 26. Movement of the latch assembly by manual operation of a door handle does not effect any movement of the multipoint locking device 24. This configuration omits a dead bolt to reduce the load relative to locking in the center of the door should someone attempt to compromise the locking system by applying force to the door.

Relative to FIGS. 1 and 2, an inside portion of the door 10 is shown in FIG. 3. The multipoint locking device 24 is illustrated in an unlocked position. FIG. 4 is a side view of the door 10 in the same position. As shown in FIGS. 3-4, no portion of any locking mechanism 50, 52, 54, 56, 58 is shown in an extending position beyond the top edge 20, front edge 18 or bottom edge 22 of the door 10. Each individual locking mechanism 50, 52, 54, 56, 58 is operable between the unlocked, or retracted position, and a locked, or extended position, by user manipulation of the cam assembly 28. It should be appreciated that the cam assembly can be manipulated by various means, such as for example, a manual lever, a key, a combination lock, RF technology or any other suitable means.

The construction and operation of the cam assembly 28 will now be discussed in greater detail. An exploded perspective view of the cam assembly 28 is shown in FIG. 5. The cam assembly 28 includes a housing partially formed from shells 70, 72. The shells 70, 72 can be partially assembled together by hinge portions, or by any other suitable structure or method. The housing is shown assembled in FIGS. 6 and 8. Each shell has three tongues 74 that engage slots 76 in a face place 78 to complete the housing. Four screws 80 engage the assembly 28 to the door 10 (not shown). In an assembled position, the housing includes two opposing slots 82, 84 that are perpendicular to the face plate 78 and door style 26.

Within the housing, a upper cam enforcement plate 86 and an upper cam 88 are position opposite a lower cam enforcement plate 90 and a lower cam 92. In operation of the locking assembly 24, the cams 88, 92 move within the housing in opposing directions A₁, A₂ relative to the face plate 78 and door style 26. FIG. 10 shows the orientation of the two cams 88, 92 with the cam assembly in a fully retracted position. Referring again to FIG. 5, the upper cam enforcement plate 86 and an upper cam 88 define angled slots 94, 96, while the lower cam enforcement plate 90 and a lower cam 92 define angled slots 98, 100. The upper cam 88 includes an extended link portion 102 with a distal end 104 having a toothed portion for connection to a proximal end of the upper extension actuator 30. Similarly, the lower cam 92 includes an extended link portion 106 with a distal end 108 having a toothed portion for connection to a proximal end of the latch assembly 60 link member 62. Additional views of the cam assembly 28 are also shown in FIGS. 6-9. An actuator assembly 120 is attached to a distal edge of the housing relative the face place 78. Referring again to FIG. 5, two shells 122, 124 having opposing horizontal slots 126, 128, respectively, form a housing for the actuator assembly 120. Between the shells 122, 124, a sliding member 130 is positioned for movement in a direction perpendicular to the faceplate 78. The shells can be partially held together by a tongue 132 and slot 134 or any other suitable construction on method.

A block 136 is secured to the sliding member 130 by one or more roll pins 138 that traverse holes in each piece. The block 136 moves in the same direction as and in concert with the sliding member 130 either toward or away from the face plate 78. The movement of each piece 130, 136 is limited in part by a pair of tongues 140 that slide within either slot 126, 128 on the actuator assembly 120 housing. A lever 142 and an interface spring 144 are also positioned within actuator assembly 120. The rotatable lever is fixed at one end and includes an interface portion for securing to a lock cylinder (not shown). The distal end 143 on the lever 142 extends beyond an aperture 146 in the top surface of the sliding member 130. A roller assembly including a pin 148 and two rollers 150 is secured and positioned to the block 136. The roller ball assembly is limited in axial movement, but the rollers 150 are free to rotate toward or away from the face plate 78.

In operation, manual turning of a cylinder (not shown) by a user engages the lever arm 142 to rotate toward the face plate 78 and linearly move the sliding member 130 toward the cams 88, 92. As a result, the pin 148 moves toward the face plate to move the upper cam 88 and lower cam 92 in opposing vertical directions A₁, A₂, respectively. FIGS. 6 and 9 show the sliding member 130 in a retracted position. The lever distal end 143 is in a rotated position away from the face plate 78. In contrast, FIG. 8 shows the sliding member 130 in a fully extended position and the lever distal end 143 fully rotated toward the face plate 78. FIG. 7 is a side view of the cam assembly 28, showing a center portion 160 of the face plate 78. The center portion is solid and does not permit travel of extending or traversing bolts, hooks or other types of locking members.

In views shown in FIGS. 10-12, the housing shell 72 and the actuator assembly shell 124 on the proximal side are not shown to further explain interaction of the various parts. FIG. 10 is a view of the cam assembly 28 showing the sliding member 130 in a fully retracted position. The upper cam and lower as shown have straight cam slots 96, 100, respectively, each angled with respect to a longitudinal axis of the sliding member 130. It should be understood that the invention can be practiced with either arcuate or straight slots in the cams 88, 92.

A tail piece of a cylinder (not shown) interfaces with the lever arm 142 via a cross-shaped cavity 162. When the cylinder is turned by a user, this in turn rotates the lever 142 counter-clockwise relative to FIG. 10 and moves the sliding member 130 in a direction A₃. As discussed, the sliding member 130 is fixed directly to the block 136. As a result, the sliding member 130 and block 136 act as one part, i.e., when the sliding member 130 moves toward the face plate 78, the block 136 moves. The block 136 has a pin 148 pressed through it that has two rollers 150 on it that are located on opposite sides. Each roller interfaces with a cam slot 96, 100 that is in the respective upper and lower cams. These cams 88, 92 are disposed within the housing so that their movement is limited to a direction that is perpendicular to the movement of the sliding member 130. As sliding member 130 moves in a direction A₃, the pin and roller 148, 150 interact with cam slot in the respective cams and the distal ends 102, 108 of the cams move out of the housing. FIG. 11 is view of the cam assembly 28 showing the lever 142 in a partially rotated position. In FIG. 12, the lever 142 is shown in the fully extended position. In this view, it is apparent that no parts on the cam assembly extend beyond the face plate in the direction A₃ with the sliding member in a fully extended position.

Referring now to FIG. 13, an exploded perspective view of another portion of the multipoint locking assembly 28 is shown. As illustrated in FIG. 2, a latch assembly 60 is disposed between the cam assembly 28 and lower extension actuator 38. A member 62 is disposed in the latch but moves freely in directions A₁, A₂ relative to the door style 26 and a latch assembly face place 164. Movement of the latch assembly 60 by manual operation of a door handle does not effect any movement of the multipoint locking device 24. Figures are various other views of the latch assembly 60.

Referring again to FIG. 13, the latch assembly may be mounted contiguous, adjacent or a distance from the cam assembly. In an embodiment illustrated, the latch assembly 60 is mounted between the cam assembly 28 and the floor. The link member 62 includes notches 166 to engage an extending portion 108 of the lower cam 92 and notches 168 to engage the lower extension actuator 38 (see FIG. 2) that connects to a slide hook assembly 56, to be discussed in greater detail.

The latch assembly 60 includes an outer body 170 having four tongues 172 that engage slots in the face place 164. Two screws 174 engage the assembly 60 to a door (not shown). Within the outer body 170 and an outer body extension piece 176, a plate 178 travels in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the faceplate 164. Two cams 180, 182 move plate 178 against the force of a spring 184 when a user turns a doorknob (not shown). A rod 186 may be used for stabilizing the spring 184 about a longitudinal axis. A pin 188 connects the plate 178 to a latch 190.

In operation, the spring 184 is biased to maintain the latch 190 in an extended or closed position. Manual operation of a standard door knob retracts the latch. Movement of the latch in either direction in the horizontal plane does not effect operation of the cam assembly or any of the components thereof.

Referring now to FIG. 18, an exploded perspective view of second slide hook assembly 58 is shown. The second slide hook assembly 58 is disposed between the cam assembly 28 and upper extension actuator 34. The actuator link 44 provides a mechanical connection between the cam assembly 28 and the second slide hook assembly 58. Second slide hook assembly 58 is mounted a distance from the cam assembly. In the embodiment shown, first and second slide hook assemblies 52, 58 are mounted between the cam assembly 28 and the top of the door 10. It should be apparent that any number of slide hook assemblies, placed in a variety of locations, may be utilized in the practice of this invention.

The second slide hook assembly 58 includes an outer body 192 having six tongues 194 that engage slots in a face place 196. Four screws 198 engage the assembly 58 to a door 10 (not shown). Within the outer body 192, a slide 200 and slide hook body 202 are positioned. The slide hook body 202 includes a bent hook portion 207 that is extendable through an aperture 206 in the face place 196 to secure to a mounting plate 208 in the door jam. A lower portion 210 of the slide 200 includes notches to engage the actuator link 44 (not shown), which in turn engages the upper cam 88 extending portion distal end 104. Any number and type of extensions of any practical length can be used between the upper cam 88 and the slide 200. As a result, rotational movement of the lever 142 and consequential lateral movement of the sliding member 130 moves the slide 200 in a direction parallel to the plane of the face plate 196. A top portion 212 of the slide includes notches to engage the upper extension actuator 34 (not shown), which in turn engages a portion of the upper slide hook mechanism 52.

Movement of the plate 200 is translated to the slide hook body 202 by three pins 214, 216, 218 that are inserted into rollers 220, 222, 224, respectively. The pin/roller assemblies 214, 228 and 216, 222 are engaged in holes 283, 284, 285 and 286 in outer bodies 192, respectively, and pass through a vertical slot 226 in the plate 200. Pin/roller assemblies 218, 224 engage through hole 287 in plate 200. The rollers 220, 222, 224 are singularly engaged through three slots 228, 230, 232, respectively, in the slide hook body 202. As shown, two slots 228, 230 are arcuate and one slot 232 is straight. The straight slot 232 is proximal to the cam assembly 28. It should be understood that various slot patterns in the plate 200 and the slide hook body 202 and combinations thereof can be utilized in the practice of the present invention. It should also be understood by others that other constructions of the slide hook assembly are possible in the practice of this invention.

Certain operational positions of the slide hook assembly 58 are illustrated in part in FIGS. 19-22. FIG. 19 is a front view, partially in section, showing the slide hook body 202 in a retracted position relative to hardware installable in an adjacent door frame. FIGS. 20 and 22 are opposing side views of the slide hook assembly 58 in the position shown in FIG. 18. The slide hook body 202 is shown in a fully extended position in FIG. 21.

In operation, the upward movement of the plate 200 in the direction A₁ forces movement of the slide hook body 202. Movement of the slide hook body 202 will be discussed by focusing on the effects on an exemplary roller and slot combination. When the slide hook body 202 is in a retracted position as shown in FIGS. 19, 20 and 22, the roller 224 rests at end point 240 in straight slot 232. The end point 240 is at the closest point in the slot 232 to the face plate 196. As the plate 200 travels in the direction A₁, the roller 224 moves parallel in relation to the face plate 84 and the opposing end point 242 of the slot 232 moves towards the roller 224. The movement of the slide hook body 202 is also controlled by the two arcuate slots 228, 230. All three slots 228, 230, 232 combine to rotate the tip of the hook portion 204 in a “down and out” pattern first, then “up and back” into a locking cavity in the door jam, as shown in FIG. 21. As the cam assembly 28 movement is reversed by the user, the slide hook pattern reverses and the hook portion 204 disengages the door jam.

The complimentary roller and slot movement of an arcuate slot will now be discussed. When the slide hook body 202 is in a retracted position as shown in FIGS. 19, 20 and 22, the roller 220 rests at end point 244 in the arcuate slot 228. The end point is at the closest point in the slot 228 to the face plate 196. As the plate 200 travels in the direction A₁, the roller 224 remains fixed in relation to the face plate 196 and housing 192 but the opposing end point 246 of the slide hook body 202 moves towards the roller 220. As the cam assembly 28 movement is reversed by the user, the slide hook pattern reverses and the hook portion 204 disengages the door jam. The roller 222 is also fixed relative to the face plate 196 and housing 192.

The multipoint locking assembly 28 illustrated in FIG. 3 includes two shoot bolt assemblies 50, 54. An exemplary shoot bolt is shown in an exploded view in FIG. 23. The shoot bolt assembly is mounted a distance from the cam assembly 28. In the embodiment shown, upper shoot bolt assembly 50 is mounted above the cam assembly 28 at a top corner of the door 10. As shown in FIG. 3, a second lower shoot bolt assembly 54 is mounted below the cam assembly 28 at a bottom corner of the door 10. This invention may be practice with either, both or neither shoot bolt assemblies installed at either, both or neither location.

The shoot bolt assembly 50 includes an outer body 250 having six tongues 252 that engage slots in a face place 254. The L-shaped face plate is designed for mounting in the corner of the door or door style 26. Three screws 256, 258, 260 engage the assembly 50 to a door 10 through the long leg of the face plate 254. A single screw 262 engages the assembly 50 to the door through the short leg of the face plate 254. Any suitable mounting technique or combination of hardware can be used to mount this assembly, or any other assembly, to the door or door style in the practice of this invention.

Within the outer body 250, a slide 264 and shoot bolt 266 are positioned. The shoot bolt 266 includes an end portion 268 that extends through an aperture 270 in the short leg of the face place 254 to secure to extend through mounting hardware 272 located in the overhead horizontal door frame (not shown). A distal tip 274 of the end portion may be tampered or conical to ease insertion. A bottom portion 276 of the slide 264 includes notches to engage a actuator link 42, which in turn engages an upper extending portion of the upper slide hook assembly 52. Any number of extensions of any practical length can be used between the upper slide hook assembly 52 and the slide 108. Plate 276 moves in a direction parallel to the plane of the long leg of the faceplate 104. Movement of the slide 264 is translated to the shoot bolt 266 by tabs 280, 282 that are fixed to the slide 276. Additional views of the shoot bolt assembly 100 are shown in FIGS. 19-22. It should be understood by others that other constructions of the shoot bolt assembly are possible in the practice of this invention.

Certain operational positions of the shoot bolt assembly 50 are illustrated in part in FIGS. 24-27. FIG. 24 shows the shoot bolt 266 hidden a retracted position relative to hardware installable in an adjacent door frame. FIGS. 25 and 27 are opposing side views of the shoot bolt assembly 50 in the position shown in FIG. 24. The end portion 268 of the shoot bolt 266 is shown in a fully extended position in FIG. 26.

In operation, the upward movement of the slide 108 in the direction A₁ forces movement of the shoot bolt 266 into a cavity in top of door frame through an aperture 270 in top of face plate 254. The end portion 274 is conical to allow for ease of alignment. In motion, the shoot bolt 266 does not rotate or pivot. As the cam assembly 28 movement is reversed by the user, the shoot bolt pattern is reversed and the bolt 266 disengages the door frame.

While several embodiments of the invention has been illustrated and described in considerable detail, the present invention is not to be considered limited to the precise constructions disclosed. Various adaptations, modifications and uses of the invention may occur to those skilled in the arts to which the invention relates. It is the intention to cover all such adaptations, modifications and uses falling within the scope or spirit of the claims filed herewith.
