Abstract
A bar lock assembly secured to opposing door members for constraining the door members each to the other. The bar lock assemblies include a pair of strike plates utilizing the tooth in groove mating concept which have lug members interfacing with each other. A locking mechanism is inserted through bores formed in each of the lug members to secure the strike plates to each other. In one bar lock assembly modification each strike plate includes a tooth member insertable into one of a set of rectangular channels formed in a portion of the periphery of an opposing strike plate lug member. The channels are formed within three surfaces of each lug member to permit the strike plates to be mated in a substantially co-planar manner or perpendicular to each other.
Claims15
A locking bar assembly comprising:
- a. a pair of strike plates, each of said strike plates having a respective lug member formed thereon;
- b. bar lock means insertable through bores formed within each of said lug members when said bores are aligned in a predetermined direction;
- c. each of said lug members having an upper and lower surface passing in a plane substantially normal to an axis direction of said bores, and an outer side surface having at least one larger dimension section and at least one smaller dimension section;
- d. at least one first mating means formed by at least one of said strike plates;
- and,
- e. at least one second mating means formed on and shorter than said outer side surface, said first mating means of one of said strike plates and said second mating means of said lug member of the other of said strike plates being received one in the other when said bores are aligned in said predetermined direction, said first and second mating means being formed to define at least one angular substantially fixed position between said strike plates.
A locking bar assembly comprising:
- a. a pair of strike plates, each of said strike plates having a respective lug member;
- b. bar lock means insertable through bores formed within each of said lug members when said bores are aligned in a predetermined direction;
- c. each of said lug members having an upper and lower surface and an outer side surface, said upper and lower surfaces formed transverse of said bore within said lug member, said outer side surface having at least one larger diameter section and at least one smaller diameter section;
- d. at least one first mating means forming a channel section in at least one of said strike plates;
- and,
- e. at least one second mating means formed on and shorter than said outer side surface of at least one of said lug members, said channel section of said first mating means receiving said larger diameter section of said second mating means of said lug member when said bores are aligned in said predetermined direction.
