Abstract
A multi-point locking set, comprising an engagement member attached to a first end of an actuator plate and configured to move the actuator plate in a vertical direction, a locking member attached to a second end of the actuator plate and attached to a first moving plate and a second moving plate, wherein the locking member pivots between a retracted position and an extended position when the actuator plate moves in the vertical direction, and wherein the first moving plate and the second moving plate move in a vertical direction when the locking member pivots between the retracted position and the extended position.
Claims19
A lock comprising:
- an engagement member attached to a first end of an actuator plate and configured to move the actuator plate in a vertical direction,
- a locking member attached to a second end of the actuator plate and attached to an upper moving plate and a lower moving plate,
- wherein the locking member pivots between a retracted position and an extended position when the actuator plate moves in the vertical direction, and
- wherein the upper moving plate and the lower moving plate move in the vertical direction when the locking member pivots between the retracted position and the extended position;
- wherein a first pivot pin is provided on the locking member and the first pivot pin slides within a first slot on the actuator plate.
A lock, comprising:
- a dead bolt coupled to a first end of a lever arm,
- a second end of the lever arm attached to a first end of a linking member by a first pin that rotates when the lever arm is engaged,
- a boomerang shaped member attached to a second end of the linking member by a second pin that moves in a semicircular path,
- an actuator plate configured to move in a vertical direction when the boomerang shaped member moves in the semicircular path and is attached to the boomerang shaped member at a first end of the actuator plate,
- a locking member attached to a second end of the actuator plate, and attached to a lower moving plate and an upper moving plate,
- wherein the locking member pivots in a circular motion between a retracted position and an extended position when the actuator plate moves in the vertical direction, and
- wherein the circular motion of the locking member moves the upper moving plate and the lower moving plate vertically in opposing directions.
A lock comprising:
- an engagement member attached to a first end of an actuator plate,
- an elastic member configured to move an actuator plate in the vertical direction and is attached to the engagement member at the first end of the actuator plate,
- a locking member attached to a second end of the actuator plate, and attached to a lower moving plate and an upper moving plate,
- wherein the locking member pivots between a retracted position and an extended position when the actuator plate moves in a vertical direction.
