ABSTRACT:
A lock of the type preferably used with sliding doors having first and second elements constituted by solid cast material, the first element having a head disposed at one end thereof with a recess and a cavity therein. The second element is rotatably mounted at one end thereof to the first element such that the other end of the second element may be rotated into and out of the recess in the head of the first element. The second element also has a cavity therein which aligns with the cavity of the first element when the lock is closed. The cavity in the second element has a channel located in a wall of the cavity. A locking element is movably disposed in the cavity of the first element and is movable into and out of engagement with the cavity of the second element. The locking element has a locking device disposed offset from the geometric center, and preferably eccentrically, of the locking element. The locking device has a radial arm movable into and out of engagement with the channel in the cavity of the second element when the locking element is moved or depressed into engagement with the cavity of the second element.
The cavities in the first and second elements are preferably cylindrically shaped and aligned when the lock is in its closed position. Preferably, the locking element is similarly cylindrically shaped and the second element is rotatably mounted on the shaft affixed to the first element.
