A SYSTEM THAT MAKES FACILITATING DOOR STRIKER ASSEMBLY

Technical field:

This invention relates to a system that facilitates the assembly of the striker during door assembly.

State of the art:

At the last stage of the door and frame assembly, the door lock and the door srike are mounted. Today, this assembly is generally carried out as follows; first of all, the door lock is placed on the door and screwed. Then, markings are made with a pen on the case according to the alignment of the lock tongue and lock bolt. The door tongue is measured with a meter or caliper. The door lock striker is imposed on the doorcase and marked with a pencil again. Finally, the location of the lower and upper holes is determined and the location of the door lock striker is determined by drilling with a drill. The door striker is placed on the holes and screwed. Finally, the place where the lock bolt will enter is cleaned with a drill. https.7/www.youtube.com/watch?v ^::: eivvis7wph0 link describes the installation of traditional door lock and striker. As can be seen here, this process is quite laborious and time consuming. Moreover, as a result of small measurement errors in the measurements with the meter, the door tongue fits into the relevant slot on the door striker and the door moves back and forth due to the wind while the door is closed, causing discomfort by making a noise. In addition, since the drilling process is performed without auxiliary equipment after mounting the striker, burrs and wear occur on the slot surfaces, do not create a pleasant appearance, and hand injuries and bleeding may occur due to burrs during the cleaning of the lock strikers. For this reason, there is a need for an innovative method/apparatus that simplifies the installation, minimizes the error in measurement, reduces the costs due to incorrect assembly, and facilitates the slot opening process.

In the utility model application numbered TR201916182, the new generation pvc door lock is explained. The invention relates to a new generation striker designed for pvc doors. In the related invention, a different striker model has been considered and no solution for assembly has been provided.

In the utility model application numbered TR201607866, the improvement made for the door striker is explained. This invention is related to the development made for the door striker, which is used in door profiles made of materials such as pvc, wood, attached to the lock mechanism, which can be used for the purpose of opening and closing the door and locking it. It consists of an apparatus positioned in the space on the body. This application does not include solutions that facilitate the installation of the door striker.

In the utility model application numbered TR200703170, the equivalent of the door lock striker is explained. This invention relates to the door lock bolt which is mounted in the lock cavity of the doorcase where the door lock striker is attached and provides a beautiful appearance and cleanliness.

Description of the invention:

The main purpose of our invention is to facilitate the assembly of the door striker. With our invention, there is no need for measuring instruments such as meters, calipers, and additional drawing elements etc.. After the door lock is mounted inside the door, only by turning the key and moving the lock bolt, the apparatus moves towards the doorcase and the felt-tip pen in the apparatus leaves a mark on the doorcase. By reversing the key, the lock bolt is withdrawn, and the marking is completed. After marking, the personnel can start the drilling process with a drill and quickly assemble the door striker.

In another alternative solution of our invention, self-adhesive double-sided tape is used. The double-sided tape, which is placed on the door striker, is quickly completed. Namely; when the key is turned, the apparatus with lock bolt and the door lock strike move together, and when the door striker reaches the doorcase, it sticks, and its position is automatically determined. When we reverse the key, the door striker remains on the door case, since the power of stickness of the double-sided tape on the door striker is stronger than magnet power. In another alternative solution of our invention, mounting auxiliary element that moves by means of shafts that act as rails is used. In this solution, drilling is performed on the plate rather than drilling on the lock bolt. In this way, the weakness of the lock bolt being produced from casting material is eliminated and there is no need for tapping.

One of the greatest advantages of our invention is the guide apparatus. By means of the guide apparatus, the personnel can open the lock bolt slot easily and properly without any effort. Today, burrs are observed on the outer surfaces of the slot in general in the process of opening the slot with the existing methods. When housewives wipe these surfaces for cleaning purposes, injuries and bleeding may occur on the hands due to burrs. After the process using guide apparatus, the slot is completely smooth and slot opening can be performed with zero tolerance error. In addition, with another advantage of the guide, the width and depth of the slot to be opened can be adjusted, and the casing and the drill bit are not damaged in any way.

The biggest contribution of our invention in assembly is that it saves time. Under current conditions, assembly operations (measuring, marking, drilling, etc.) With measuring instruments take about 5-10 minutes, whereas in our invention, measurements can be taken within 10-20 seconds and drilling with a guide can take about 1-2 minutes.

Another advantage of our invention is the ease of assembly. Under normal conditions, in operations performed without the touch of a guide, the lock striker is off-center, the bolt or tongue does not fully coincide with the relevant holes, and the casing or drill bit is damaged in drilling with drills. In our invention, however, since assembly is quite easy, anyone who has a screwdriver or drill will be able to assemble it perfectly by watching the user manual or a short tutorial video showing the application of our invention. Since there will be no need for personnel for installation, labor cost will be saved.

In another alternative working mechanism of our invention, a latch is used. The latches perform the fixing function provided by the magnet and the shaft. This function is provided by compression power. This alternative working method is designed for different lock bolt configurations with lock bolt channels on the market. Our invention will be preferred by many domestic companies and will contribute to the country's economy due to its time saving, ease of assembly and low cost.

It is easy to install thanks to the easy fixing of the parts that make up the invention, and the costs are low due to the short assembly time. Moreover, the invention has a solid construction.

Detailed description of the invention:

The parts constituting the invention are basically; door lock (1), screw (2), mounting assembly aid type 1 (3), lock striker (4) and guide (6). Assembly aid type 2 (5), shafts (7) and additional magnets (8) are elements constituting an alternative embodiment of the invention. The door lock (1) includes the parts of the lock tongue (1.1), the lock bolt (1.2) and the plate hole (1.3). Assembly aid type 1 (3) consists of magnet (3.1), flat closed surface (3.2), embedded magnet (3.3), marker (3.4) and tongue slot (3.5). Alignment tabs

(3.6) can also be used instead of markers (3.4). It has a lock striker (4), tongue slot (4.1), bolt slot (4.2), fixing holes (4.3) and double-sided tape (4.4). Assembly aid type 2 (5) consists of shaft holes (5.1), flat closed surface (5.2), marker (5.3) and tongue slot (5.4). Guide (6), fixed slide (6.1), bolt (6.2), movable slide (6.3), pipe (6.4), spring (6.5), stamp

(6.6), pin (6.7), drill bit (6.8), slot (6.9) and the limiting pipe (6.10).

In figures 1-6, views of the first embodiment of the invention are given. Here, the door lock (1) with the lock tongue (1.1) and the lock bolt (1.2) is the same as the lock systems used today, and lock bolt holes (1.2.1) are opened on the lock bolt (1.2) for the first arrangement in order to adapt to our system which is the subject of the invention. Screw threads are formed in the lock bolt holes (1.2.1) by the guiding method. Screws (2) are associated with these lock bolt holes (1.2.1). When the screws (2) approach the blind end of the lock bolt holes (1.2.1), a gap of approximately 4-5 mm remains on the upper surface of the plate. This gap is a necessary space for the magnets (3.1) to pass into it. The main purpose of opening the lock bolt holes (1.2.1) and using the screw (2) is due to the production of the existing lock bolts (1.2) with casting material. It is intended to activate the attraction force of the magnet (3.1) by using a metallic screw (2). While the key (A) is closed, that is, the lock bolt (1.2) is hidden inside the door lock (1), the mounting assembly aid type 1 (3) sits flat on the plate surface thanks to the magnet (3.1). When the key (A) is turned, that is, when the lock bolt (1.2) comes out, the assembly aid type 1 (3) moves together with the lock bolt (1.2). There is a flat closed surface (3.2) in the assembly aid type 1 (3) in order to ensure contact with the lock bolt (1.2). When the mounting assembly aid type 1 (3) approaches the doorcase while the lock bolt (1.2) moves, the markers (3.4) on it leave marks on the doorcase. Here the marker (3.4) can be a felt or a highlighter tip. After the trace is left, the personnel creates screw holes in the case with a drill and the operation is completed by mounting the lock striker (4).

A second alternative solution of the invention can be seen in figure 7-9 images. The main purpose of this alternative solution is to facilitate the assembly of the lock striker (4), one surface of which is covered with a double-sided tape (4.4). In this arrangement, the parts of the lock striker (4) and the mounting assembly aid type 1 (3) are adjacent to each other. The mounting aid type 1 (3) is connected to the locking bolt (1.2) in a similar manner as described above. Here, the lock striker (4) to be mounted on the doorcase comes into play. The element that ensures that the mounting assembly aid type 1 (3) and the lock striker (4) are adjacent to each other and that they can move at the same time is the embedded magnet (3.3). There is a hole drilled into the mounting assembly aid type 1 (3) and an embedded magnet (3.3) fixed in this hole. The main purpose of recessing this embedded magnet (3.3) is to position the lock striker (4) zero to zero on the mounting assembly aid type 1 (3) surface. During the alignment, the tongue slot (4.1) on the lock striker (4) and the alignment tabs (3.6) also function. When the key (A) is turned, the lock bolt (1.2) comes out, together with the lock bolt (1.2), the assembly aid type 1 (3) and the lock striker (4) move in the same axis. As soon as the lock striker (4) touches the case, the surface with self-adhesive double-sided tape (4.4) adheres to the case and automatically aligns the lock striker (4) to the case surface. Then, screws are driven into the fixing holes (4.3) with a drill and the assembly is completed. Another alternative arrangement of the invention is seen in the figures 10-12. This alternative arrangement is similar to the first arrangement, in which the plate hole (1.3), shafts (7) and additional magnets (8) come into play. In this arrangement, the door lock bolt (1.2) is not processed, two plate holes (1.3) are drilled on the side surfaces of the lock bolt (1.2). Additional magnets (8) are placed and fixed in these plate holes (1.3). The middle of the additional magnets (8) is the hole, and the shafts (7) are fixed there. At the same time, the shafts (7) are positioned in the shaft holes (5.1) on the mounting assembly aid type 2 (5). Shaft (7) acts as a rail here. When the key (A) is turned, the lock bolt (1.2) comes out and the assembly aid type 2 (5) touches the flat closed surface (5.2) and drags it forward. When the markers (5.3) on the assembly aid type 2 (5) touch the case, the marking takes place, and the lock striker (4) is mounted by drilling holes at the points related to the drill. When the key (A) is reversed, the lock bolt (1.2) snaps into place and the mounting assembly aid type 2 (5) additional magnets (8) come into contact with the assembly aid type 2 (5) metallic surface and sticking occurs. The assembly aid type 2 (5) also includes a tongue slot (5.4) for alignment purposes.

Figure 13-15 shows the guide (6) and the elements that make up the guide (6). The guide (6) is used at the stage of opening the slot so that the lock bolt (1.2) can be placed in the bolt slot (4.2) at the last stage of the assembly of the lock striker (4). After the fixing holes (4.3) of the lock striker (4) are drilled on the casing, the pins (6.7) are mounted on the casing and the fixing of the guide (6) is completed. The guide (6) is fixed on the lock striker (4). Meanwhile, the size of the slot to be opened in the doorcase is determined. For this, the upper and lower fixed slides (6.1) are slid back and forth and fixed by means of bolts (6.2) after the slot length is determined. The drill bit (6.8) that will go into the slot (6.9) is determined and fixed in the pipe (6.4). There is a spring (6.5) and a stamp (6.6) on the pipe (6.4). The main purpose of the spring (6.5) is to facilitate the exit of the drill bit (6.8) after the drill bit (6.8) has entered the casing. A limiter pipe (6.10) is also added to the outside of the pipe (6.4). The function of the limiting tube (6.10) is to determine how deep the drill bit (6.8) will go into the casing. The determination of this limit is realized when the drill bit (6.8) goes deep, while the stamp (6.6) associated with it rests on the outer diameter of the limiting pipe (6.10). In this way, it is ensured that the drill bit (6.8) does not go too far inside the casing and the casing is not damaged. At the same time, the knives in the drill bit (6.8) are not wasted. When the drill bit (6.8) starts to work, the movable slide (6.3) moves back and forth on the guide (6) and the slot is opened to the desired size. The movable slide (6.3) coincides with the fixing hole (4.3). After opening the bolt slot (4.2) slot channel on the frame by means of the guide (6), the assembly process is completely finished and the door becomes ready for use.

Other alternative uses of the invention are shown in figures 19-20 and figure 23-24. This alternative study in question is designed for lock bolts (1.2) which have a lock bolt channel (1.2.2) on them in the current art. Here, mounting assembly aid type 3 (10) is used. Unlike the others, this apparatus has a latch slot (10.1). The latch (9) is designed so that the latch slot (10.1) and the lock bolt channel (1.2.2) can be associated with each other. The latch (9) has a u shape and has two legs. These two legs are placed in the lock bolt channels (1.2.2) on both sides formed on the lock bolt (1.2) (figure 21). The upper flat surface of the latch (9) is inserted into the latch slot (10.1). The function of the latch (9) here is to fix the mounting assembly aid type 3 (10) and the lock bolt (1.2) to each other. It provides this function by means of compression. Therefore, the latch (9) has a flexible structure here. The assembly aid type 3 (10) includes the flat closed surface (10.2), the markers (10.3), the tongue slot (10.4) and the alignment tabs (10.5), apart from the latch slot (10.1). On the assembly aid type 3 (10), there is a lock striker (4). With the forward-backward (linear) movement of the lock bolt (1.2), the flat closed surface (10.2) also moves in the same direction. Alignment tabs (10.5) are positioned in the fixing holes (4.3) of the lock striker (4). The markers (10.3) positioned concentrically with the alignment tabs (10.5) perform marking on the door frame during the unlocking movement. Then, the drilling process is started with the guide (6) equipment and the assembly process is completed. In figure 23-24, there may be more than one bottom and top lock bolt channel (1.2.2) on the lock bolt (1.2). Therefore, in this alternative method, the task of the assembly aid type 3 (10) apparatus is the same, and in addition, 2 latch (9) are used. The markers (10.3) can be felt-tip pens, highlighters.

Upper lock tongue (1.1) and tongue slot (4.1) dimensions are the same, tolerances can be small or large. Even if the dimensions are the same, the system works properly and the lock tongue (1.1) is fully seated. The markers (3.4, 5.3, 10.3) can alternatively be made of sponge material or soft plastics or derivatives with porous absorbent properties.
