Gang Locks Patents (Class 292/DIG18)
  • Patent number: 5862689
    Abstract: An improvement in a drawer lock of a cabinet includes a cylinder, a trigger bar, a fixing block, a sliding block, a latch hook, a first elastic member and a latch mechanism. The latch mechanism has a clutch pivotally engaged with a latch bar. A second elastic member keeps the clutch to be engaged with the latch bar at a preset angle. The latch hook of a closing drawer can wedge the latch bar to turn an angle smoothly while the clutch and the sliding block remain stationary, so as to prevent causing any damage to the latch hook even when the cabinet is in a locked position.

  • Patent number: 4335909
    Abstract: An articulated linkage locks the various access panels, covers, and plates opening into an engine and its accessories. A spring loaded shaft is used to drive a bell crank and a set of catch bolts. Each catch bolt is matched with a catch plate joined to one of the panels, covers and plates granting access to the engine and its components. A pair of doors covering the instrument panel is used to reposition the spring loaded shaft and bell crank. Locking the doors together therefore locks the catch bolt and catch plates together in one stroke and with one lock.

    Abstract: A locking mechanism for locking a movable member to a stationary member such as a movable door to a stationary door frame which comprises a member fixed to the door frame and having a projecting rim which cooperates with a U-shaped longitudinal section having a portion for connection to the movable door. The U-shaped longitudinal section receives the projecting rim. The U-shaped longitudinal section is adapted to receive one or more bolts which pass through the walls of the longitudinal section and are adapted to engage within slots or recesses in the projecting rim. At least one slidingly mounted rod is provided to carry the bolts which pass through the slots or recesses in the walls of the U-shaped section and engage the tongue shaped notches for locking the projecting rim with the U-shaped section. Additionally, two vertically adjustable bolts are connected with the sliding rod and these are adapted to engage the threshold and lintel of the door frame.
