Abstract

Skiles Locking System enables automatic actuation of multiple deadbolt type locks instantly through use of remote wireless activator, key, or lock button. (inside of dwelling) This is accomplished through a mechanized assembly completely contained inside door. Attached to door knob shaft located in the center of the door, a rotating disc and wire assembly retracts internal spring loaded deadbolts from bolt sleeves in door frame allowing ingress or egress. When the door shuts, beveled internal spring-loaded bolts move back into door frame, allowing locking of door with multiple deadbolt type locks with remote wireless activator, key, or lock button (inside). No manual sliding of deadbolts needed. The system also incorporates brass “weak-link” locking pins, which attach steel connecting wires to rotating disc. These “weak-links” break upon abnormal pressure when door knob mechanism is compromised by force, permanently locking door in place. The system allows for keyed or electronic keyless entry.

Dependent claims

A device comprising:

a doorknob, said doorknob comprising, at least one of, an interior doorknob with a button lock and an exterior doorknob, wherein said doorknob is configured to install on a surface of a door;
a first rotating disc implement, in which said first rotating disc is coupled to said interior doorknob;
a first steel connecting wire, wherein one proximate end of said first steel connecting wire is into engagement with said first rotating disc implement, while an other proximate end of said first steel connecting wire is into engagement with a first connecting rod;
wherein said first connecting rod comprises at least a spring loaded sliding bolt connecting rod configured to engage a threaded hole of a sliding bolt, wherein said first connecting rod is into engagement with the other proximate end of said first steel connecting wire;
a second rotating disc implement, wherein said second rotating disc implement is generally coupled to said exterior doorknob;
a second steel connecting wire, wherein one proximate end of said second steel connecting wire is into engagement with said second rotating disc implement, while an other proximate end of said second steel connecting wire is into engagement with a second connecting rod;
wherein said second connecting rod comprises at least a separator pinion connecting rod configured to engage a separator pinion in said sliding bolt, wherein said second connecting rod is into engagement with the other end of said second steel connecting wire;
a first weak-link connector, wherein said first weak-link connector is disposed on a proximate middle portion of said first steel connecting wire, and wherein said first weak-link connector is configured to disable said first steel connecting wire when an excessive force is applied to said doorknob;
a second weak-link connector disposed on a proximate middle portion of said second steel connecting wire, wherein said second weak-link connector is configured to generally disable said second steel connecting wire when an excessive force is applied to said doorknob;
wherein said sliding bolt is into engagement with said spring loaded sliding bolt connecting rod and said separator pinion connecting rod, wherein said sliding bolt comprising at least a spring loaded sliding bolt operable to enable said device to position in a locked or unlocked condition;
a spring loaded sliding bolt steel sleeve, wherein said spring loaded sliding bolt steel sleeve is configured to envelope said sliding bolt;
a brass containment cylinder, wherein said brass containment cylinder is configured to generally contain said sliding bolt;
and
a brass end cap, wherein said brass end cap is configured to attach at a proximate end of said brass containment cylinder.
