Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9509289A1] A device which establishes a sequence for the modes of operation of a door. The sequence is latched, ajar, open and safety. The modes of operation are achieved by the interaction of a striker (16) and a striker forkbolt (20). The striker forkbolt (20) is secured to the door and the striker (16) is secured to the fixed structure. The striker forkbolt (20) is rotatable about a first axis (22) to various predetermined angular positions. The striker catch may be restricted to various rotational positions to accomplish one of the four modes of operation. A first angular restriction of the striker catch in which the striker forkbolt (20) is engaged with a striker (16) defines the latched mode of operation. A second angular restriction allows unrestricted rotation of the striker forkbolt (20) between the first limit of rotation and a maximum limit of rotation in which the striker forkbolt (20) and the striker (16) may be disengaged upon application of a force attempting to displace the door to an ajar position. A third range of angular positions of the striker forkbolt (20) occurs upon rotation of the striker forkbolt (20) to the maximum limit of rotation whereupon the striker forkbolt (20) and the striker (16) are completely disengaged permitting the door to be positioned in an open mode of operation. The fourth range of angular positions occurs in which the striker catch is restricted to a second limit of rotation in which the striker forkbolt (20) engages the striker (16) defining a safety mode of operation.
