Rotary door and window lock

A right-angle door lock comprising:

• a split case comprised of two shells, and including means for fastening said shells together, said means being accessible from the exterior of only one of said shells;
• a lock housing having a longitudinal bore formed therein and disposed in a longitudinal bore formed in said case between said shells;
• a key-operated barrel type lock contained in the lock housing bore;
• means for mounting said barrel lock housing in said case bore so as to extend outwardly therefrom and be selectively reciprocally slidable therewithin along a first axis between a retracted position and an extended position;
• a bolt mounted in said case so as to be reciprocally slidable therein along a second axis normal to the first axis;
• actuating means interconnecting the barrel lock housing and the bolt, whereby movement of the barrel lock housing from the retracted position to the extended position moves the bolt in a first direction to a first extended position, and movement of the barrel lock housing from the extended position to the retracted position moves the bolt in a direction which is opposite to the first direction to a second extended position, said bolt extending from opposite sides of said case in said first and second extended positions;
• and
• means for selectively locking said bolt in said first and second extended positions comprising
• (a) a locking cam lug;
• (b) means for mounting said locking cam lug in the barrel lock housing so that the locking cam lug may move normal to the first axis and be selectively extended outwardly from and retracted into said barrel lock housing by rotation of the barrel lock by the key;
• (c) a first retaining slot formed in said case bore and adapted to receive said locking cam when the barrel lock housing is in the locked extended position to lock the bolt in said first position;
• and
• (d) a second retaining slot formed in said case bore and adapted to receive said locking cam when the barrel lock housing is in the retracted position to lock the barrel lock housing in said second position.

• a first retaining slot formed in said case bore and adapted to receive said locking cam when the barrel lock housing is in the extended position to lock the barrel lock housing in said extended position;
• a retaining slot formed in said case bore and adapted to receive said locking cam when the barrel lock housing is in the retracted position to lock the barrel lock housing in said retracted position;
• and in which the barrel type lock has a lock retaining leaf mounted in said barrel and biased so as to extend outwardly laterally therefrom, and the barrel housing bore has means adapted to receive said extended retaining leaf when the barrel is inserted into the lock housing so as to normally retain the barrel in the lock housing while permitting said barrel to be rotated in said barrel housing by the key between locked and unlocked positions, and including
• a small transverse cylindrical passageway formed in said barrel housing in a disposition so as to open onto said retaining leaf only when the barrel is in the unlocked disposition;
• and
• an aperture formed in said case so as to open into the case bore and disposed with respect to the barrel housing passageway so as to provide a linear passageway through the case and the barrel housing to the retaining leaf when the barrel housing is in a preselected position and the barrel lock is unlocked.
