Post-removable construction of a door lock device
A post-removable construction of a door lock device which is disposed on a plate assembly. The plate assembly can be applied to install a transmission mechanism comprised of an inner spindle, an outer spindle, an inner lever, and outer lever and a latch-retracting mechanism onto a door panel, and drives a latch. The plate assembly is comprised of an inner housing assembly inboard of the door panel and an outer housing assembly outboard of the door panel.
1. A post-removable construction of a door lock device, comprising:
an outer housing having a body with a through hole formed thereon;
a positioning plate having a body, which is disposed on the outer housing; the body having a through hole;
at least one recess formed on the body of the positioning plate, the recess having two engaging edges;
an outer seat having a body with a through hole formed thereon, the outer seat having at least one recess formed with two engaging edges for allowing at least one reinforcing post to engage thereon;
the at least one reinforcing post having two end portion with one end portion thereof having a pair of engaging slits for engaging the engaging edge of the recess of the positioning plate and the engaging edge of the recess of the outer seat;
at least one aperture being provided on the body of the outer seat and spaced apart from the at least one first aperture, for allowing at least one stationary post to pass therethrough;
an inner seat having a body with a through hole formed thereon, the inner seat having at least one second aperture formed around the through hole of the inner seat; and
at least one bolt adapted to pass through the second aperture of the inner seat to engage the at least one stationary post.
2. The post-removable construction of a door lock device according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of reinforcing slits is composed of a first engaging slit and a second engaging slit for respectively engaging the engaging edge of the recess of the positioning plate and the engaging edge of the recess of the outer seat.
3. The post-removable construction of a door lock device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one stationary post is formed on the body of the positioning plate.
4. The post-removable construction of a door lock device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one reinforcing post is provided with an elastomeric member at one of a terminal end thereof in order that the reinforcing post resiliently and tightly abuts against an inner side of the outer housing when being assembled.
5. The post-removable construction of a door lock device according to claim 4 , wherein the elastomeric member is made of plastic.
6. The post-removable construction of a door lock device according to claim 4 , wherein the elastomeric member is made of rubber.
