Abstract
A latch bolt assembly of a lock includes a casing, a transmission device mounted in the casing, and a latch bolt device. The latch bolt device includes a latch bolt, a transmission member having a first end secured to the latch bolt to move therewith and a second end actuatable by the transmission device, and a reinforcing plate. The latch bolt including a cavity for receiving the first end of the transmission member. The reinforcing plate is inserted into cavity to fill a spacing between the transmission member and the latch bolt, thereby securely retaining the first end of the transmission member in the cavity of the latch bolt. A safety device is mounted juxtaposed to the latch bolt and is biased inward to a position to prevent retraction of the latch bolt when a door to which the lock is mounted is in a closed

A latch bolt assembly of a lock, comprising:
- a casing;
- a transmission device mounted in the casing;
- and
- a latch bolt device including a latch bolt, a transmission member having a first end with a hook thereon and a second end actuatable by the transmission device, and a substantially planar reinforcing plate, the latch bolt including a cavity for receiving the first end of the transmission member, the latch bolt further including a side opening for engaging with the hook of the transmission member to thereby couple the latch bolt to the transmission member to move therewith, the substantially planar reinforcing plate being inserted into the cavity to fill a spacing between the transmission member and the latch bolt, thereby securely retaining the first end of the transmission member in the cavity of the latch bolt.
A latch bolt assembly of a lock, comprising:
- a casing;
- a transmission device mounted in the casing;
- and
- a latch bolt device including a latch bolt, a transmission member having a first end engaged with the latch bolt to move therewith and a second end actuatable by the transmission device, a substantially planar reinforcing plate for maintaining the transmission member in engagement with the latch bolt, wherein the transmission device further includes a safety mechanism mounted near the latch bolt, wherein the safety mechanism is biased inward for preventing retraction of the latch bolt when a door to which the lock is mounted is in a closed position;
- and
- wherein the safety mechanism includes a safety rod mounted juxtaposed to the latch bolt, a burglarproof plate having a first end securely mounted in the casing, an arcuate portion, and a free end, said mechanism further including an unlatching plate having a first end connected to the safety rod to move therewith and a second end operably connected to the arcuate portion of the burglarproof plate, and an elastic member mounted between the safety rod and the burglarproof plate for biasing the safety rod out of the door and for biasing the free end of the burglarproof plate out of a retraction path of the latch bolt in cooperation with the unlatching plate when the door is in an opened position, wherein the free end of the burglarproof plate is biased for preventing retraction of the latch bolt when the door is in the closed position.
A latch bolt assembly of a lock, comprising:
- a casing;
- a transmission device mounted in the casing;
- and
- a latch bolt device including a latch bolt, a transmission member having a first end engaged with the latch bolt to move therewith and a second end actuatable by the transmission device, a substantially planar reinforcing plate for maintaining the transmission member in engagement with the latch bolt, wherein the transmission device further includes a safety mechanism mounted near the latch bolt, wherein the safety mechanism is biased inward for preventing retraction of the latch bolt when a door to which the lock is mounted is in a closed position;
- and
- wherein the transmission member includes a hook on the first end thereof, the latch bolt including a cavity for receiving the first end of the transmission member, the latch bolt further including a side opening for engaging with the hook of the transmission member to thereby couple the latch bolt to the transmission member to move therewith, and wherein said reinforcing plate is inserted into the cavity to fill a spacing between the transmission member and the latch bolt, thereby securely retaining the first end of the transmission member in the cavity of the latch bolt.
