BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
[0001] The invention The present invention relates to a locking device of a door, and more
specifically, to a locking device of a door for safely protecting an object in need
of protection such as a safe or an automated banking machine.
Background of the Related Art
[0002] Generally, a safe is a device for securing cash, securities, jewelry, important documents
or the like, which is frequently used for preventing intrusion of a third party other
than a formal user.
[0003] However, since techniques for illegally opening a safe are continuously improved
in pace with techniques related to the safe are advanced, a safe which is further
secure and further less probable to be robbed is required. Particularly, since automated
banking machines which keep a large amount of cash are used in an open place, necessity
of security on a safe is emphasized day by day.
[0004] A primary object of a safe is to prevent a third party from opening the safe whatever
apparatus and method may be used, and a secondary object is to delay opening the safe
by dragging time as long as possible although the safe is opened until the police
or a private security organization takes a proper action. In these days when various
cutting machines and welding apparatuses are developed, it is rather almost impossible
to perfectly prevent opening a safe, and delaying a time for opening the safe as long
as possible may be the most realistic measure.
[0005] For reference, observing the details related to Underwriters Laboratory (UL) certification,
which is a specification related to safety in USA, it stipulates that a safe should
not be opened by a safe expert for about thirty minutes to satisfy security regulation
level 1. That is, in the case of a machine such as a cash dispenser that is difficult
to move as a whole, safely protecting a safe as long as possible is a task of top
priority.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The present invention provides a locking device of a door for safely protecting an
object in need of protection such as a safe or an automated banking machine.
[0007] Particularly, the present invention provides a locking device of a door for stably
maintaining a locking state of the door even when a forced attack is applied on a
side surface of the door.
[0008] To accomplish the above objects, according to an aspect of the present invention,
there is provided a locking device of a door for opening and closing a storage space
of an object, the device including: a locking means provided on an inner surface of
the door to selectively constrain the door to the object; a safety plate formed with
a biding portion and provided on the inner surface of the door so as to be broken
when a forced shock is applied from outside; an auxiliary locking part for constraining
the door to the object when the safety plate is broken by the forced shock; and a
reinforcing cover member formed with a binding projection bound to the binding portion
in one piece, being fixed to the inner surface of the door so as to cover the locking
means, in which when the forced shock is applied to the reinforcing cover member,
the safety plate is broken, and the door is constrained to the object by the auxiliary
locking part.
[0009] Here, the object is a storage device for securing cash, securities, jewelry, important
documents or the like, such as a general safe, an automated banking machine or the
like.
[0010] The structure and features of the locking means can be changed diversely depending
on required conditions and design specifications. For reference, in the present invention,
the locking means may be understood as a concept including both a constraint element
for directly constraining the door and the safe and a linking element provided to
be linked to (or associated with) the constraint element so as to indirectly constrain
the door to the object. For example, the locking means may be configured to include
a sliding member slidingly moving on the inner surface of the door; a door locking
part provided on the inner surface of the door and linked by the slide movement of
the sliding member to selectively constrain the door to the object; and a locking
assembly provided on the inner surface of the door to selectively constrain the slide
movement of the sliding member, in which the reinforcing cover member may be provided
to cover the locking assembly.
[0011] The door locking part may be provided in a variety of structures that can be linked
by the slide movement of the sliding member and selectively constrain the door to
the object. For example, the door locking part may be configured to include a straight
link member linked by the slide movement of the sliding member and moving in a straight
direction, a locking pin connected to the straight link member in one piece, moving
in a straight direction together with the straight link member and selectively constraining
the door to a safe, and a side surface locking pin directly connected to an end portion
of the sliding member, selectively protruding toward a side surface of the door according
to the slide movement of the sliding member, and constrained to the safe.
[0012] The locking assembly may be provided in a variety of structures that can selectively
constrain slide movement of the sliding member. For example, the locking assembly
may be configured to include a locking body fixed to the inner surface of the door
and a locking journal moving to a constraint position constraining the slide movement
of the sliding member and a release position allowing the slide movement of the sliding
member, in a direction straight with respect to the locking body. When the locking
journal is disposed at the constraint position, the slide movement of the sliding
member in the release direction can be constrained. Here, constraint of the slide
movement of the sliding member in the release direction may be understood as a state
of maintaining the locking state of the door by the door locking part.
[0013] The safety plate may be configured to be broken when a forced shock greater than
a predetermined level is applied. For example, the safety plate may be formed of a
glass material that can be broken by a shock greater than a predetermined level. In
some cases, the safety plate may be formed of another material that can be broken
by a shock greater than a predetermined level, and the present invention is not limited
or constrained by a material or a characteristic of the safety plate. In addition,
a binding portion is formed in the safety plate, and a binding projection of the reinforcing
cover member may be bound to the binding portion. Although the binding portion may
be formed in a shape of a hole (or a groove) to which the binding projection can be
bound, in some cases, it can be formed in a shape of a projection.
[0014] The auxiliary locking part may be provided in a variety of structures that can constrain
the door to the safe when the safety plate is broken by a forced shock greater than
a predetermined level which is applied from outside. For example, the auxiliary locking
part may be configured to maintain the locking state of the door by constraining the
slide movement of the sliding member when a forced shock greater than a predetermined
level is sensed from outside. For example, the auxiliary locking part may be configured
to include a locking member provided on the inner surface of the door so as to move
straightly to a constraint position constraining the slide movement of the sliding
member and a release position allowing the slide movement of the sliding member; a
connection member one end of which is connected to the safety plate and the other
end of which is connected to the locking member; and a locking spring for providing
elasticity so that the locking member may move to the constraint position, in which
a state of disposing the locking member at the release position may be maintained
by the connection member, and the locking member may move to the constraint position
by the locking spring when the safety plate is broken.
[0015] The reinforcing cover member may be provided to cover at least any one of parts configuring
the locking means depending on required conditions and design specifications. For
example, the reinforcing cover member may be provided to cover the side surface of
the locking body, and when a forced shock is applied to the reinforcing cover member
toward the side surface of the locking body, the auxiliary locking part operates as
the safety plate is broken by the binding projection, and the door may be constrained
to the object by the auxiliary locking part.
[0016] In addition, a base plate may be fixed to the inner surface of the door, and the
reinforcing cover member may be fixed to the base plate, and the safety plate may
be disposed between the door and the base plate. In addition, a guide slot may be
formed at the base plate, and the binding projection may pass through the guide slot
and be bound to the binding portion.
[0017] The binding projection may be provided in a variety of structures depending on required
conditions and design specification. For example, the binding projection may be approximately
formed in an "L" shape, including a body portion and a bent portion bent at an end
of the body portion in one piece. Since the reinforcing cover member slidingly moves
along the guide slot while the bent portion passes through the guide slot and the
binding portion, the bent portion may be constrained to an outer surface of the safety
plate facing the door.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED
EMBODIMENT
[0019] Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments of the present invention,
examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference
numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The exemplary embodiments are described
below in order to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.
[0020] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of a safe applying a locking device
of a door according to the present invention, FIGs. 2 to 4 are views illustrating
the structure of a locking device of a door according to the present invention, and
FIG. 5 is a view showing an intrusion type of an intruder for forcibly opening a safe
which applies a locking device of a door according to the present invention.
[0021] As shown in the figures, the locking device of a door 110 according to the present
invention is provided to selectively lock a door 110 which opens or closes a storage
space of an object and includes a locking means, a safety plate 270, an auxiliary
locking part 260 and a reinforcing cover member 246.
[0022] For reference, the object is a storage device for securing cash, securities, jewelry,
important documents or the like, such as a general safe, an automated banking machine
or the like. In addition, the automated banking machine is an automated machine such
as a cash dispenser, an automatic teller machine or the like which can provide basic
banking services such as deposit or withdrawal without a teller regardless of time
and space in relation to financial services. Hereinafter, a safe 100 applying a locking
device of a door 110 according to the present invention will be described as an example.
[0023] The safe 100 has a storage space with an open front side, and the opening on the
front side of the storage space is configured to be opened and closed by the door
110 combined with the safe 100 through a hinge coupling. The safe 100 is configured
to selectively constrain a closed state of the door 110 by the locking device of a
door.
[0024] The locking means is provided on the inner surface of the door 110 and configured
to selectively constrain the door 110 to the safe 100, and the structure and features
of the locking means can be changed diversely depending on required conditions and
design specifications.
[0025] For reference, in the present invention, the locking means may be understood as a
concept including both a constraint element for directly constraining the door 110
and the safe 100 and a linking element provided to be linked to (or associated with)
the constraint element so as to indirectly constrain the door 110 to the object. For
example, the locking means may be configured to include a sliding member 220, a door
locking part 230 and a locking assembly 240.
[0026] The sliding member 220 is provided to be parallel to the inner surface of the door
110 so that sliding movement is selectively allowed.
[0027] A base plate 112 may be fixed to the inner surface of the door 110 in one piece,
and the sliding member 220 may be provided so as to slidingly move on the base plate
112.
[0028] A guide slot 222 may be formed in the sliding member 220, and a linking projection
232a may move along the guide slot 222 when the sliding member 220 slidingly moves,
and a straight link member 232 may move in a straight direction as the linking projection
232a moves. For example, the guide slot 222 may be formed in the shape of an inclined
straight section with respect to the sliding direction of the sliding member 220,
and the straight link member 232 may move straightly along the vertical direction
as the linking projection 232a moves along the guide slot 222 when the sliding member
220 slidingly moves. In some cases, the guide slot may be formed in the shape of a
curved section, and the present invention is not limited or constrained by the shape
and angle of the guide slot.
[0029] In addition, a door handle 210 may be combined on the outer surface of the door 110
so as to be rotatably handled, and the sliding member 220 may be configured to be
linked and slidingly move by the rotation handling of the door handle.
[0030] The linking structure between the door handle 210 and the sliding member 220 may
be changed diversely depending on required conditions and design specifications. For
example, a rotating piece 214 may be provided on the inner surface of the door 110
so as to rotate together with a shaft of the door handle 210 in one piece, and a guide
slot 214a may be formed in the rotating piece 214. In addition, a guide projection
220a accommodated so as to move along the guide slot 214a may be formed in the sliding
member 220. Accordingly, as the rotating piece 214 rotates by the rotation handling
of the door handle 210, the sliding member 220 is linked and slidingly moves by the
guide projection 220a which moves along the guide slot 214a.
[0031] Although a door handle 210 provided to be rotatably handled is described as an example
in an embodiment of the present invention, in some cases, the door handle may be provided
so as to be slidingly handled, and it is also possible to configure to link and slidingly
move the sliding member by the slide handling of the door handle.
[0032] In addition, a constraint groove 221 may be formed at a side end of the sliding member
220, and as a locking journal 244 described below is constrained to the constraint
groove 221 at a constraint position, sliding movement of the sliding member 220 may
be constrained.
[0033] The constraint groove 221 may be provided in a variety of shapes depending on required
conditions and design specifications. For example, the constraint groove 221 may be
formed to penetrate the sliding member 220 along the inner direction of the door 110.
That is, the constraint groove 221 may be formed in the shape of an open groove or
step that can be constrained to the locking journal 244. Hereinafter, a constraint
groove 221 formed at an edge of a side end of the sliding member 220 will be described
as an example. For reference, in the present invention, the inner direction of the
door 110 may be understood as a direction perpendicular to the plate surface of the
door 110 (or a direction penetrating the door 110).
[0034] In addition, the constraint groove 221 may include a constraint wall 221a contacting
with the locking journal 244, and the constraint wall 221a may be formed in one piece
together with the sliding member 220 by bending a portion of the side end of the sliding
member 220.
[0035] As described above, since the constraint groove 221 can be provided in the form of
an open groove or step, interference can be minimized when the locking journal 244
described below enters the constraint groove 221. In other words, when the constraint
groove 221 is provided in the form of an open groove or step, the top and bottom sides
thereof are open unlike a constraint groove formed in the shape of an enclosed hole,
and thus interference generated by the surroundings of the constraint groove can be
minimized.
[0036] Although a constraint groove provided in the form of an open groove or step that
may constrain slide movement of the sliding member 220 simply with respect to the
locking journal is described as an example in the embodiment of the present invention
described above and shown in the figures, in some cases, the constraint groove itself
may be formed in the shape of a kind of a hole or a cave which can accommodate an
end portion of the locking journal therein.
[0037] The door locking part 230 is provided on the inner surface of the door 110 to be
linked by the slide movement of the sliding member 220 and selectively constrain the
door 110 to the safe 100.
[0038] The door locking part 230 is configured to include a straight link member 232 provided
with a linking projection 232a moving along the guide slot 222 and linked by the slide
movement of the sliding member 220 to move in a straight direction and a locking pin
234 connected to the straight link member 232 in one piece to move in a straight direction
together with the straight link member 232 and selectively constraining the door 110
to the safe 100, and a binding groove (not shown) for accommodating a free end of
the protruded locking pin 234 may be formed in the safe 100.
[0039] Hereinafter, a straight link member 232 provided on each of the upper and lower sides
of the sliding member 220, linked by the slide movement of the sliding member 220,
and moving straightly along the vertical direction will be described as an example.
In some cases, although it may be configured to form a plurality of guide slots on
the sliding member and move a plurality of straight link members straightly along
each of the guide slots, the present invention is not limited or constrained by the
number of straight link members and a structure of disposing the straight link members.
[0040] In addition, the door locking part 230 may further include a side surface locking
pin 236 directly connected to an end portion of the sliding member 230 and selectively
protruding toward the side surface of the door 110 according to slide movement of
the sliding member 220, and a side surface binding groove (not shown) for accommodating
the protruded side surface locking pin 236 may be formed in the safe 100.
[0041] The locking assembly 240 is provided on the inner surface of the door 110 in order
to selectively constrain the slide movement of the sliding member 220. For example,
the locking assembly 240 includes a locking body 242 fixed to the base plate 112,
and a locking journal 244 moving to a constraint position constrained to the constraint
groove 221 and a release position released from the constraint groove 221, in a direction
straight with respect to the locking body 242. That is, since the locking journal
244 is provided to move straightly along a direction perpendicular to the sliding
direction of the sliding member 220 in front of the sliding member 220, the slide
movement of the sliding member 220 can be allowed when the locking journal 244 is
disposed at the release position, and the slide movement of the sliding member 220
can be constrained when the locking journal 244 is disposed at the constraint position
since the constraint groove 221 of the sliding member 220 is constrained to the locking
journal 244. In addition, when the locking journal 244 is disposed at the constraint
position, the slide movement of the sliding member 220 in the release direction can
be constrained. Here, constraint of the slide movement of the sliding member 220 in
the release direction may be understood as a state of maintaining the locking state
of the door 110 by the door locking part 230 described above.
[0042] Although a locking journal configured to move in a straight direction with respect
to the locking body is described as an example in an embodiment of the present invention,
in some cases, the locking journal may be configured to move from the release position
to the constraint position in another method such as a rotation method.
[0043] The locking journal 244 may have a variety of cross sectional shapes depending on
required conditions and design specifications. For example, the locking journal 244
may be provided to have a rectangular cross sectional shape. In some cases, the locking
journal may have a circular or non-circular shape, and the present invention is not
limited or constrained by a cross sectional shape of the locking journal.
[0044] In addition, since the locking body 242 is mechanically or electrically connected
to a locking module (not shown) installed on the outer surface of the door 110, the
locking journal 244 may be selectively protruded by the operation of the locking module.
A general key locking module, a dial style locking module, a keypad style locking
module or the like which is generally used for a safe or the like can be used as the
locking module so that only an authorized specific user may use.
[0045] In addition, a cover member 250 may be provided on the inner surface of the door
110 to cover the locking journal 244, and since a penetration portion 252 through
which the locking journal 244 passes is formed on the side surface of the cover member
250, movement of the locking journal 244 along the inner direction of the door 110
may be constrained by the penetration portion 252.
[0046] For reference, the floating movement of the locking journal 244 along the inner direction
may be understood as floating movement of the locking assembly 240 being lifted or
separated from the door 110 by a forced shock applied from outside of the door 110.
[0047] The shape of the cover member 250 having the penetration portion 252 may be changed
diversely depending on required conditions and design specifications. For example,
the cover member 250 may be approximately formed in a "

" shape, and the penetration portion 252 of an open groove shape corresponding to
the cross sectional shape of the locking journal 244 may be formed on both sides of
the cover member 250.
[0048] Accordingly, the locking journal 244 may pass through the penetration portion 252
and be disposed at the constraint position described above, and floating movement
of the locking journal 244 along the inner direction of the door 110 may be constrained
by the cover member 250 while the locking journal 244 is disposed at the constraint
position.
[0049] Although a penetration portion of the cover member formed in an open groove shape
such as an approximate "U" shape is described as an example in an embodiment of the
present invention, in some cases, the penetration portion may be formed in a shape
of a closed hole which may constrain the floating movement of the locking journal
along the inner direction of the door.
[0050] The safety plate 270 is provided on the inner surface of the door 110 so as to be
broken when a forced shock from outside is sensed. For example, the safety plate 270
may be provided between the inner surface of the door 110 and the base plate 112 and
configured to be broken when a forced shock greater than a predetermined level is
applied from outside. Hereinafter, a safety plate 270 formed of a glass material that
can be broken by a shock greater than a predetermined level will be described as an
example. In some cases, the safety plate may be formed of another material that can
be broken by a shock greater than a predetermined level, and the present invention
is not limited or constrained by a material or a characteristic of the safety plate.
[0051] In addition, a binding portion 272 may be formed in the safety plate 270, and a binding
projection 247 of the reinforcing cover member 246 described below may be bound to
the binding portion 272. Although the binding portion 272 may be formed in a shape
of a hole (or a groove) to which the binding projection 247 can be bound, in some
cases, it can be formed in a shape of a projection.
[0052] The auxiliary locking part 260 is configured to constrain the door 110 to the safe
when the safety plate 270 is broken by a forced shock greater than a predetermined
level which is applied from outside. For example, the auxiliary locking part 260 may
be configured to maintain the locking state of the door 110 by constraining the slide
movement of the sliding member 220 when a forced shock greater than a predetermined
level is sensed from outside.
[0053] Hereinafter, an auxiliary locking part 260 configured to include a locking member
262 provided on the inner surface of the door 110 so as to straightly move to a constraint
position constraining slide movement of the sliding member 220 and a release position
allowing the slide movement of the sliding member 220, a connection member 264 one
end of which is connected to the safety plate 270 and the other end of which is connected
to the locking member 262, and a locking spring 266 for providing elasticity so that
the locking member 262 may move to the constraint position will be described as an
example. In addition, a constraint hole 226 may be formed at a side end of the sliding
member 220, and the locking member 262 can be constrained to the constraint hole 226
when the locking member 262 is disposed at the constraint position.
[0054] Since the locking member 262 is provided so as to move in a straight direction from
a constraint position constraining slide movement of the sliding member 220 to a release
position allowing the slide movement of the sliding member 220 on the base plate 112,
the locking member 262 disposed at the release position is supported by the connection
member 264 to maintain the disposition state, and when the safety plate 270 is broken
by a forced shock applied from outside, the locking member 262 may move to the constraint
position by the elasticity of the locking spring 266.
[0055] For example, a pair of locking members 262 may be provided to be spaced apart from
each other by a predetermined distance, and each of the locking members 262 may be
connected to the safety plate 270 by the connection member 264. Although the locking
spring 266 provides elasticity so that each of the locking members 262 may move to
the constraint position, a state of disposing each of the locking members 262 at the
release position may be maintained by the connection member 264 until the safety plate
270 is broken. However, when the safety plate 270 is broken, the constrained state
(a state of being constrained so as to be disposed at the release position) of each
of the locking members 262 is released and, at the same time, each of the locking
members 262 moves to the constraint position by the elasticity of the locking spring
266, and thus slide movement of the sliding member 220 may be constrained.
[0056] The reinforcing cover member 246 is fixed to the inner surface of the door 110 to
cover the locking means described above, and the reinforcing cover member 246 formed
with a biding projection 247 bound to the biding portion 272. Hereinafter, a reinforcing
cover member 246 provided to cover the locking body 242 is described as an example.
In some cases, the reinforcing cover member may be provided to cover another portion
or part instead of the locking body.
[0057] Since the binding projection 247 of the reinforcing cover member 246 may be bound
to the binding portion 272 of the safety plate 270, when a forced shock greater than
a predetermined level is applied to the reinforcing cover member 246, the safety plate
270 may be broken by the binding projection 247, and the door 110 may be constrained
to the safe by the auxiliary locking part 260 described above. For example, the reinforcing
cover member 246 may be provided to cover the side surface of the locking body 242,
and when a forced shock is applied to the reinforcing cover member 246 toward the
side surface of the locking body 242, the safety plate 270 is broken by the binding
projection 247, and the door 110 may be constrained to the safe by the auxiliary locking
part 260.
[0058] In addition, the reinforcing cover member 246 may be fixed to the base plate 112.
To this end, a guide slot 112a may be formed in the base plate 112, and the binding
projection 247 may pass through the guide slot 112a and be bound to the binding portion
272.
[0059] The binding projection 247 may be provided in a variety of structures depending on
required conditions and design specifications. For example, the binding projection
247 may be approximately formed in an "L" shape, including a body portion 247a and
a bent portion 247b bent at an end of the body portion 247a in one piece. Since the
reinforcing cover member 246 slidingly moves along the guide slot 112a while the bent
portion 247b passes through the guide slot 112a and the binding portion 272, the bent
portion 247b may be constrained to the outer surface of the safety plate 270 facing
the door 110. In such a structure, the auxiliary locking part 260 may operate by the
safety plate 270 even when a shock is applied in a direction perpendicular to the
plate surface of the door 110 (or in a direction penetrating the door) (e.g., when
an external force is applied in a direction of tearing off the reinforcing cover member
from the base plate), as well as when a shock is applied in a direction of the side
surface of the locking body 242.
[0060] Meanwhile, as a method of opening an object such as the safe 100 described above,
a method of breaking the locking assembly 240 through an attack on the side surface
of the safe can be expected. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, a method of breaking the
locking assembly 240 using a chisel and a hammer after making a hole on the outer
wall of the side surface of the safe 100 with a drill can be expected. Since slide
movement of the sliding member 220 can be allowed if the locking assembly 240 is broken
like this, constraint of the door locking part 230 can be released using a handle.
[0061] However, in a structure in which the locking body 242 is covered by the reinforcing
cover member 246 and the safety plate 270 can be broken when a shock is applied to
the reinforcing cover member 246, a state of constraining the slide movement of the
sliding member 220 may be maintained comparatively stably although a forced shock
is applied from outside.
[0062] That is, when a shock is applied to the reinforcing cover member 246, a shock force
is delivered to the safety plate 270 through the binding projection 247, and the safety
plate 270 can be broken, and since the auxiliary locking part 260 may operate thereby,
the constrained state of the sliding member 220 can be maintained by the auxiliary
locking part 260. Accordingly, the intruder should release the constrained state of
the auxiliary locking part 260 or perform another release work in order to release
the locking state of the door locking part 230. Accordingly, a time required to open
the safe 100 is delayed as much, and the intruder cannot open the safe 100 within
a short period of time as intended.
[0063] According to the locking device of a door of the present invention, an object in
need of protection such as a safe or an automated banking machine may be safely protected.
[0064] Particularly, according to the present invention, a locking state of a door may be
stably maintained even when a forcible attack is applied on the side surface of the
door. That is, according to the present invention, the reinforcing cover member covers
the locking means, and when a forced shock is applied to the reinforcing cover member,
the safety plate connected to the binding projection of the reinforcing cover member
is broken, and the auxiliary locking part operates, and thus the locking state of
the door may be further stably maintained.
[0065] In addition, according to the present invention, although a forced shock is applied
from outside, the disposition state of the locking assembly and the constrained state
of the sliding member constrained by the locking assembly can be maintained, and a
time for opening the safe by an intruder can be delayed as long as possible.
[0066] While the present invention has been described with reference to the particular illustrative
embodiments, it is not to be restricted by the embodiments but only by the appended
