TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] This invention concerns a clutch device that is especially designed for use in electric
mortise locks having an anti-panic function, i.e. locks that can always be opened
from the inside even if they cannot be opened from the outside.
[0002] In its general and usual form, this type of lock comprises - at the least - an inner
square shaft in which an inner grip consisting of a handle or knob is installed, an
outer square shaft with an outer handle, and an electric motor with a output spindle
for the actuation of the actual clutch device; here and hereinafter, the designations
"inner" and "outer" refer to the inside and outside of the lock.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
[0003] EP 1 881 135 A discloses such a clutch device for use in electric mortise locks with an anti-panic
function according to the preamble of claim 1.
[0004] The design of this type of lock is subject to problems since a large number of features
(electric actuation, anti-panic function, clutch function) need to be combined. This
means that a large number of components must be used within a relatively small space.
[0005] Thus, in this field solutions must be found that use a reduced number of components
and have simple structures and easy functional interrelations that give rise to reliable
functioning and a long product lifetime without malfunctions; the various implementations
around today meet certain of these objectives with a greater or lesser degree of success.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION AND ITS ADVANTAGES
[0006] The present invention proposes a different solution which to a large extent combines
the objective of using a reduced number of components offered by certain simple designs
and the objective of simple and reliable functioning. To meet these objectives, the
envisaged clutch device comprises a radial centre rest, a radial pin, a torsion spring,
a follower actuating the lock bolt, a supplementary outer follower part, an outer
washer, a supplementary square bar for the outer shaft, and a right-angled U-shaped
band-like fork that has a gap adjusted in accordance with the thickness of the supplementary
square bar; whereby the radial centre rest has a curved/concave front with the same
radius as the central axial hole of the follower, has a thickness in accordance with
the width of the radial notch in the follower in which this radial centre rest is
housed, and is positioned between the tang of the radial pin and the second end of
a torsion spring that is mounted on a torsion shaft and that has a first end that
is joined to the spindle of the electric motor, and whose second end extends through
a filled lug in the radial centre rest; the follower has a radial opening that is
connected with the radial notch and the central axial hole which, in its central inner
body, has a permanent connection to the inner square shaft via an inner follower part
and an inner washer; the radial pin has an arced front with the same radius as the
central axial hole of the follower and - to the rear - is supported against the curved/concave
front of the radial centre rest, which is connected to the second end of the torsion
spring, whilst this radial pin has a section in accordance with the said radial opening
in which it is housed; the outer square shaft is permanently coupled with the supplementary
outer follower part and - via the outer washer - with a slot cut into the inner end
of the supplementary square bar. In accordance with this structure, the radial pin
is able to operate between a retracted position against the torsion spring where the
arced front is in line with the central axial hole of the follower and a forward position
where the arced front penetrates the central axial hole of the follower at the same
time as penetrating a radial casing of the said supplementary outer follower part
which is coupled in the central outer body of the follower, whereby the radial casing
is connected to the radial opening of the follower.
[0007] The entire width of the supplementary square bar is slit by a longitudinal slot with
a width slightly smaller than the diameter of a stud bolt that faces it and which
goes through the outer handle; both branches of the fork are positioned against the
faces of the supplementary square bar which have a longitudinal slot; the branches
have tabs at the end that point to the inside of the fork and which have a width in
accordance with that of the longitudinal slot in the supplementary square bar; the
branches are perforated along their length by tracks that travel the length of the
sides of the longitudinal slot and are appropriately more narrow than this slot and,
at their outer end, these branches form opposing protrusions that point towards the
inside of the fork with dimensions in accordance with the widenings in the longitudinal
slot.
[0008] This setup enables a compact size that can be accommodated perfectly in the small
amount of space available in mortise locks.
[0009] The clutch function is realised as follows: when the motor is energised, its spindle
moves the first end of the torsion spring, the second end of which drives the sliding
radial centre rest which moves into the radial notch of the follower and which - in
turn - moves the sliding radial pin so that it penetrates both the central axial hole
of the follower and the radial casing of the supplementary outer follower part; since
- via the outer square shaft and the supplementary square bar of this shaft - the
outer handle is rotationally coupled with the supplementary outer follower part and
the supplementary outer follower part is rotationally coupled with the follower, this
causes the lock to open from the outside when the handle is actuated. As can be seen
in detail below, during this process the torsion spring serves to ensure the engagement
and disengagement processes, since when the spindle turns and the position of the
parts does not yet permit the movement of the radial pin, the first end of the torsion
spring is moved via the torsion shaft in a way that causes it to transmit a force
to the second end of the torsion spring, and this end is elastically charged to drive
the movement of the radial pin once this radial pin is in a position that allows this.
[0010] Another function implicated in the proposed design concerns the measures envisaged
for the coupling of the outer handle (naturally also valid for an internal handle).
These measures comprise the supplementary square bar of the outer shaft and the U-shaped
band-like fork; the function works in that the fork is coupled with the supplementary
square bar in a way that means that the openings on the fork are overlaid with the
sides of the longitudinal slot in the supplementary square bar; this assembly is then
inserted into the handle to the desired position and is secured into place using the
stud bolt. The fixation is extremely robust because the fact that the openings have
a smaller width than the slots means that the entry of the stud bolt deforms the edges
of the openings in the fork, causing the edges to wedge into the openings of the supplementary
square bar. In addition to providing this strength, the mechanism facilitates the
rectification of a possible error with regard to the fixed position, in that the used
fork can be replaced by a new one. In contrast, the traditional system involves pushing
the stud bolt against the smooth surface of the square bar inserted into the handle,
whereby the tip makes a conical mark on the square bar and - if there is an error
in the fixed position and the desired new position is near to the original position
- the conical indentation formed by the original incorrect positioning of the stud
bolt pulls the tip of the stud bolt into the incorrect position again.
[0011] Another feature of this invention is that in the proximity of the tabs the elastic
branches of the band-like fork form a fold at the peak so that between the two branches
there is a distance that is suitably larger than the dimension of the hollow in the
outer handle for the supplementary square bar. This setup makes the most of the elasticity
of the band of the fork so that - before the stud bolt is positioned - the coupling
inside the handle is effected with a certain precision that facilitates the identification
of the desired fixation point and the retention of this point whilst the stud bolt
is inserted.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0014] With regard to the drawings and legend listed above, the attached plans illustrate
a preferred method of execution for the object of the invention, that being a clutch
device for use in mortise locks with an anti-panic function, this having a general
design comprising - at the least - an inner square shaft (1) on which an inner knob
or handle is installed, an outer square shaft (2) with an outer handle (3), and an
electric motor (4) with an output spindle (4a) for the actuation of the actual clutch
device, whereby "outer" and "inner" respectively refer to the inside and outside of
the lock. As can be seen in figure 1, the clutch described in the invention comprises
a radial centre rest (5), a radial pin (6), a torsion spring (7), a follower (8) that
actuates the lock bolt, a supplementary outer follower part (9), an outer washer (10),
a supplementary square bar (11) for the outer shaft (2), and a right-angled U-shaped
band-like fork (12) that - between its branches - has a gap adjusted in line with
the thickness of the supplementary square bar (11); whereby the radial centre rest
(5) has a curved/concave front (5b) with the same radius as the central axial hole
(8b) of the follower (8) and has a thickness in accordance with the width of a radial
notch (8c) in the follower (8) in which the radial centre rest (5) is housed and which
is positioned between the tang of the radial pin (6) and a second end (7c) of a torsion
spring (7) which is mounted on a torsion shaft (7a) and which has a first end (7b)
that is jointed to the spindle (4a) of the electric motor (4), whereby this second
end (7c) extends through a filled lug (5a) of the radial centre rest (5); the follower
(8) has a radial opening (8a) that is connected with its radial notch (8c) and central
axial hole (8b), which - in its central inner body - has a permanent connection to
the inner square shaft (1) by means of a supplementary inner follower part (13) and
an inner washer (14); the radial pin (6) has an arced front (6a) with the same radius
as the central axial hole (8b) of the follower (8) and - to its rear - is supported
by the curved/concave front (5b) of the radial centre rest (5), which is connected
to the second end (7c) of the torsion spring, whilst this radial pin (6) has a section
in accordance with the said radial opening (8a) in which it is housed; the outer square
shaft (2) is permanently coupled with the supplementary outer follower part (9) and
- via the outer washer (10) - with a slot (11a) cut into the inner end of the supplementary
square bar (11). Below - with the help of figures 2 to 5 - the coupled and decoupled
states of the proposed clutch are explained, these states deriving from the previously
explained fact that the radial pin (6) can operate between a retracted position against
the torsion spring (7) where the arced front (6a) is in line with the central axial
hole (8b) of the follower (8) and a forward position where its arced front (6a) penetrates
the central axial hole (8b) of the follower (8) at the same time as a radial casing
(9a) of the said supplementary outer follower part (9), which is coupled with the
central outer body of the follower (8), this radial casing (9a) being connected with
the radial opening (8a) of the follower (8).
[0015] The entire width of the supplementary square bar (11) is slit by a longitudinal slot
(11 b) with a width slightly smaller than the diameter of a stud bolt (15) that faces
it and which goes through the outer handle (3); both branches of the fork (12) are
positioned against the faces of the supplementary square bar (11) which have a longitudinal
slot (11 b); the branches have tabs (12a) at the end that point to the inside of the
fork (12) and which have a width in accordance with that of the longitudinal slot
(11b) in the supplementary square bar (11). The branches are perforated along their
length by tracks (12b) that travel the length of the sides of the longitudinal slot
(11) and are appropriately more narrow than this slot and, at their outer end, these
branches form opposing protrusions (12c) that point towards the inside of the fork
(12) and which are dimensioned in accordance with the widenings (11 c) in the longitudinal
slot (11 b).
[0016] Another feature of the invention is that in the proximity of the tabs (12a) the elastic
branches of the band-like fork (12) form a fold at the peak (12d) so that between
the two branches there is a distance that is suitably larger than the dimension of
the hollow in the outer handle (3) for the supplementary square bar (11).
[0017] Another feature of the invention is that the edges of the longitudinal slot (11b)
have grooves (11d) that are arced in the longitudinal direction.
[0018] Figures 2 to 5 illustrate the assembly and function of the clutch as per the invention.
Figure 2 shows the disengaged position, when the sliding radial pin (6) is in the
retracted position and the torsion spring (7) is in its natural resting state; when
the motor (4) is energised and the sliding radial pin (7b) cannot move forward, the
first end (7b) of the torsion spring (7) moves up the spindle (4a) and tensions the
second end (7c) of the torsion spring (7) so that, as soon as possible, it drives
the output of the sliding radial pin (6) to bring about the engaged position shown
in figure 4; figure 5 shows the opposite state to the previous state, when elastic
charge on the second end (7c) of the torsion spring (7) is built up to carry out the
disengagement action as soon as the sliding radial pin (6) is able to move back to
the rest position shown in figure 2.
[0019] Figures 6 to 10 show the structure and mutual assembly between the supplementary
square bar (11) for the outer shaft (2) and the band-like fork (12). With regard to
the supplementary square bar (11), figure 6 clearly shows the longitudinal slot (11b)
with its widenings (11 c) and arced grooves (11 d) and - in conjunction with figure
10 - shows the slot (11 a) for the outer square shaft (2). With regard to the band-like
fork (12), its configuration is clearly shown in figures 7 and 9. Figure 10 illustrates
the operative assembly of the involved parts, whereby the tabs (12a) are guided into
the longitudinal slot (11 b) until the internal protrusions (12c) of the fork (12)
are coupled into the widenings (11 c) of this longitudinal slot (11 b). This achieves
fixation that is so robust that the assembly can be transported without any risk of
the band-like fork (12) coming off unintentionally; figure 10 clearly shows the fold
at the peak (12d) of the branches of the band-like fork (12).
[0020] Figures 11 and 12 illustrate the coupling in the handle (3). The blow-up clearly
shows how the insertion of the stud bolt (15) deforms the edges of the opening (12b),
causing them to wedge onto the edges of the longitudinal slot (11b); the arced grooves
(11d) encourage and consolidate the wedging effect.

ses branches - a un espace ajusté pour correspondre à l'épaisseur du carré supplémentaire
(11),
grâce à quoi le support central radial (5) a un avant incurvé/concave (5b) avec le
même rayon que le trou d'axe central (8b) du fouillot (8), a une épaisseur correspondant
à la largeur de l'encoche radiale (8c) dans le fouillot (8) dans laquelle ce support
central radial (5) est reçu, et est positionné entre la queue de la broche radiale
(6) et la deuxième extrémité (7c) d'un arbre de torsion (7a) et a une première extrémité
(7b) reliée à la broche (4a) du moteur électrique (4), et dont la deuxième extrémité
(7c) s'étend à travers une oreille remplie (5a) dans le support central radial (5),
le fouillot (8) a une ouverture radiale (8a) qui est connectée à l'encoche radiale
(8c) et au trou axial central (8b) qui, dans son corps intérieur central, a une connexion
permanente à l'arbre carré intérieur (1) par le biais d'une partie de fouillot intérieur
supplémentaire (13) et une rondelle intérieure (14),
la broche radiale (6) a un avant arqué (6a) avec le même rayon que le trou axial central
(8b) du fouillot (8) et - sur l'arrière - est supportée contre l'avant incurvé/concave
(5b) du support central radial (5), qui est connecté à la deuxième extrémité (7c)
du ressort à torsion (7), alors que cette broche radiale (6) a une section correspondant
à ladite ouverture radiale (8a) dans laquelle elle est reçue, et
l'arbre carré extérieur (2) est couplé de manière permanente avec la partie de fouillot
extérieur supplémentaire (9) et - par le biais de la rondelle extérieure (10) - avec
une encoche (11a) découpée dans l'extrémité intérieure du carré supplémentaire (11).
2. Dispositif d'embrayage à utiliser dans des serrures électriques à mortaiser avec une
fonction anti-panique selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que la largeur entière du carré supplémentaire (11) est fendue par une encoche longitudinale
(11b) avec une largeur légèrement inférieure au diamètre d'un goujon (15) qui est
tourné vers celle-ci et qui traverse la poignée extérieure (3), les deux branches
de la fourche (12) sont positionnées contre les faces du carré supplémentaire (11)
qui ont une encoche longitudinale (11b), les branches ayant des pattes (12a) au niveau
de l'extrémité qui pointent vers l'intérieur de la fourche (12) et qui ont une largeur
correspondant à celle de l'encoche longitudinale (11b) dans le carré supplémentaire
(11), les branches étant également perforées sur leur longueur par des pistes (12b)
qui courent sur la longueur des côtés de la fente longitudinale (11) et sont de façon
appropriée plus étroites que cette encoche et, au niveau de leur extrémité extérieure,
ces branches forment des protubérances opposées (12c) qui pointent en direction de
l'intérieur de la fourche (12) et qui sont dimensionnées en fonction des élargissements
(11c) dans l'encoche longitudinale (11b).
3. Dispositif d'embrayage à utiliser dans des serrures électriques à mortaiser avec une
fonction anti-panique selon les revendications précédentes, caractérisé en qu'à proximité
des pattes (12a) les branches de la fourche faite d'une bande (12) forment un pli
au niveau de la crête (12d) de sorte qu'entre les deux branches il existe une distance
qui est de façon appropriée plus grande que la dimension du creux dans la poignée
extérieure (3) pour le carré supplémentaire (11).
4. Dispositif d'embrayage à utiliser dans des serrures électriques à mortaiser avec une
fonction anti-panique selon les revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que les arêtes de l'encoche longitudinale (11b) ont des gorges (11d) qui sont arquées
