The lock block is movably connected to the base.
Claims17
A lock tongue module, comprising:
- a base;
- a lock tongue, wherein the lock tongue is pivotally connected to the base and has a locking position in which the lock tongue is capable of locking a lock catch and an unlocking position in which the lock tongue is capable of releasing the lock catch;
- a lock block, wherein the lock block is movably connected to the base, and the lock block has a first operation position in which the lock block is capable of stopping the lock tongue in response to the lock tongue being in the locking position so as to block the lock tongue from rotating to the unlocking position and a second operation position in which the lock block is capable of avoiding the lock tongue in response to the lock tongue being in the unlocking position so as to allow the lock tongue to rotate to the locking position;
- a first elastic member, wherein the first elastic member is configured to keep the lock tongue in the unlocking position;
- and
- a second elastic member, wherein the second elastic member is configured to keep the lock block in the first operation position.
A modular lockset, comprising a housing, a lock tongue module assembled within the housing, and an actuating module which is capable of unlocking the lock tongue module, wherein the lock tongue moudle comprises:
- a base;
- a lock tongue, wherein the lock tongue is pivotally connected to the base and has a locking position in which the lock tongue is capable of locking a lock catch and an unlocking position in which the lock tongue is capable of releasing the lock catch;
- a lock block, wherein the lock block is movably connected to the base, and the lock block has a first operation position in which the lock block is capable of stopping the lock tongue in response to the lock tongue being in the locking position so as to block the lock tongue from rotating to the unlocking position and a second operation position in which the lock block is capable of avoiding the lock tongue in response to the lock tongue being in the unlocking position so as to allow the lock tongue to rotate to the locking position;
- a first elastic member, wherein the first elastic member is configured to keep the lock tongue in the unlocking position;
- and
- a second elastic member, wherein the second elastic member is configured to keep the lock block in the first operation position.
