Abstract

A cylinder lock includes an outer handle formed on an outside of a door having a tumbler lock formed in the outer handle, an inner handle formed on an inside of the door having an inner rotating knob formed in the inner handle, an actuator laterally formed in a central portion of the two handles for operatively pulling a latch bolt inwardly for opening the door from a door frame, an outer slide slidably mounted in the two handles which can be pushed inwardly upon a depression on the outer handle from outside the door to retract the actuator and the latch bolt for opening the door when the door is unlocked, and an inner slide slidably held in the two handles which can be pulled inwardly to retract the actuator and the latch bolt also for opening the door from inside the door.

both said outer handle means and said inner handle means formed on said door about a coaxial longitudinal axis normal to the door;
a guide base formed in a central portion of said outer handle means and said inner handle means;
a latch bolt actuator slidably mounted in said guide base along a latitudinal axis perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of both said handle means;
a latch bolt means formed on a laterial side of said central portion of two said handle means having a latch bolt operatively engageable in a bolt socket formed in a socket of a door frame for closing said door thereon, said latch bolt being operatively pulled by said latch bolt actuator for opening said door and having a longitudinal axis of said latch bolt means aligned with said latitudinal axis of said actuator;
an outer-handle-operated slide slidably mounted in both said handle means operatively thrusting said actuator to retract said latch bolt for opening said door upon an inward depression on said outer handle from outside the door;
said outer-handle-operated slide including:
a neck portion formed on its outer end portion secured on a central hole of the first sleeve, a rear guide plate formed on an inner portion of the outer-handle-operated slide slidably passing through a central hole formed in the second sleeve to be protruded and defined in a central socket formed in the rotating knob, and an outer slide spring retaining the guide plate on the rotating knob to normally urge the outer-handle-operated slide towards the outer cylinder, a longitudinal slot formed on an inner portion of said outer-handle-operated slide slidably coupled with a pin having a top head formed thereon fixed on the inner-handle operated slide, and a first sloping surface portion diverging outwardly towards said outer cylinder from one side portion of a first central slim portion of said outer-handle-operated slide, and a recess formed on an opposite side portion of said first central slim portion, said first sloping surface portion operatively thrusting a roller formed in said actuator for retracting said latch bolt for opening the door, said recess separated from said roller of said actuator thereby being unable for thrusting said roller of said actuator for locking the door;
and
an inner-handle-operated slide slidably mounted in both said handle means also operatively thrusting said actuator to retract said latch bolt for opening the door from inside the door when pulling said inner handle inwardly, said inner-handle-operated slide including:
an outer guide plate slidably held in the central hole of first sleeve commonly clamping a driving plate formed on an inner portion of said lock means in cooperation with the neck portion of said outer-handle-operated slide, a rear neck portion formed on an inner portion of the inner-handle-operated slide secured on a central hole of the second sleeve, and an inner guide plate protruding rearwardly or inwardly from the rear neck portion to poke into the socket of the rotating knob, an inner slide spring retaining the inner guide plate on the knob to normally urge the inner-handle-operated slide outwardly towards the outer cylinder, a second and a third sloping surface portion respectively diverging outwardly from a second central slim portion of the inner-handle-operated slide and disposed on two opposite sides about the longitudinal axis of said two handles, the second sloping surface portion of the inner-handle-operated slide projectively coincided with the first sloping surface portion of the outer-handle-operated slide when the lock means is unlocked, both second and third sloping surface portions operatively thrusting said roller of said actuator for opening the door, and a longitudinal slot formed on an outer portion of the inner-handle-operated slide slidably coupled with a second pin having a top head formed thereon fixed on the outer-handle-operated slide.

Abstract

A push and pull type cylinder lock comprising:

an outer handle means having an outer handle formed on an outside of a door having a tumbler lock means formed in said outer handle means, said outer handle means including an outer cylinder having a first enlarged cylindrical portion formed on its central portion, a first sleeve slidably held in said outer cylinder having a plurality of radial keys slidably moving in a plurality of longitudinal slots formed in the outer cylinder, an outer jacket generally cylindrically shaped slidably disposed around the outer cylinder having said outer handle formed thereon, an outer cover plate fixed on an outer surface of said door and partially shielding said outer jacket;
an inner handle means having an inner handle formed on an inside of the door having an inner rotating knob rotatably mounted in said inner handle means, said inner handle means including an inner cylinder having a second enlarged cylindrical portion formed on its central portion, a second sleeve slidably held in the inner cylinder having plural radial keys of said second sleeve slidably moving in a plurality of longitudinal slots formed in the inner cylinder, an inner jacket generally cylindrically shaped slidably disposed around the inner cylinder, a washer fixed on an inner door surface of the door by screws of which each screw is firmly fixed with a screw hole formed in a hollow bolt securing both the two central enlarged portions of the two handle means, an inner cover plate embedded on an outer perimeter of the washer having a cone portion partially shielding the inner jacket, and said inner handle secured to the inner jacket for door-opening operation;
both said outer handle means and said inner handle means formed on said door about a coaxial longitudinal axis normal to the door;
a guide base formed in a central portion of said outer handle means and said inner handle means;
a latch bolt actuator slidably mounted in said guide base along a latitudinal axis perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of both said handle means;
a latch bolt means formed on a laterial side of said central portion of two said handle means having a latch bolt operatively engageable in a bolt socket formed in a socket of a door frame for closing said door thereon, said latch bolt being operatively pulled by said latch bolt actuator for opening said door and having a longitudinal axis of said latch bolt means aligned with said latitudinal axis of said actuator;
