Locking device

1. A locking device ( 1 ), comprising:

a latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ), which is movable into at least a first and a second latch bolt position, said latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) comprising a first follower arm engagement part ( 7 );

a first follower arrangement ( 8 ) configured for directly transferring motion to the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) from a first unlocking device connected to the first follower arrangement ( 8 ), wherein said first follower arrangement ( 8 ) comprises a first follower arm ( 11 ) which comprises a latch bolt engagement part ( 13 ) which is configured to at least in some positions of the first follower arm ( 11 ) contact the first follower arm engagement part ( 7 ) of the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ), whereby the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) can be pushed by a movement of the first follower arm ( 11 ) such that the latch bolt engagement part ( 13 ) pushes the first follower arm engagement part ( 7 ) such that the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) is moved from the first latch bolt position to the second latch bolt position; and

a locking arm ( 15 ) comprising a blocking part ( 17 ) which locking arm ( 15 ) can be positioned in at least two locking arm positions wherein in a first locking arm position the blocking part ( 17 ) locks the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) in the first latch bolt position and in a second locking arm position the blocking part ( 17 ) does not lock the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ),

wherein said locking arm ( 15 ) further comprises a locking arm catch ( 19 ), whereby said locking arm ( 15 ) can be moved from the first locking arm position to the second locking arm position by pushing said locking arm catch ( 19 ),

the first follower arm ( 11 ) further comprises a locking arm catch engagement part ( 21 ) which will push the locking arm catch ( 19 ) for moving the locking arm ( 15 ) towards the second locking arm position when the first follower arm ( 11 ) is moved for pushing the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) to the second latch bolt position,

said locking device further comprising a second follower arrangement ( 30 ) configured for transferring a movement of a second unlocking device to the first follower arm ( 11 ) of the locking device ( 1 ),

said second unlocking device is a device which can be connected to the second follower arrangement ( 30 ) for unlocking the locking device,

said second follower arrangement ( 30 ) comprises a second follower arm ( 31 ) which comprises a second first follower arm engagement part ( 33 ) which in some positions of the second follower arm ( 31 ) is in contact with a second follower arm engagement part ( 35 ) of the first follower arm ( 11 ) for transferring motion of the second unlocking device through the second follower arm ( 31 ) to the first follower arm ( 11 ) for transferring the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) from the first latch bolt position to the second latch bolt position,

the first follower arrangement ( 8 ) comprises a cylinder follower ( 9 ) configured to act on the first follower arm ( 11 ),

said second unlocking device is a handle connected to the second follower arrangement ( 30 ),

whereby a turn of the handle is translated to a movement of the second follower arm ( 31 ) which is directly transferred to the movement of the first follower arm ( 11 ), and

said first follower arrangement ( 8 ) is configured to act directly on the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) without engaging said second follower arrangement ( 30 ).

2. The locking device according to claim 1 , wherein the locking arm ( 15 ) will be moved from the first locking arm position to the second locking arm position and the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) will be moved from the first latch bolt position to the second latch bolt position by direct contact from the first follower arm ( 11 ) whereby a movement of the first follower arm ( 11 ) is directly transferred to motion of both the locking arm ( 15 ) and the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ).

3. The locking device according to claim 1 , wherein a play ( 23 ) is provided between the blocking part ( 17 ) and the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) in the first locking arm position such that a first movement of the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) within the play ( 23 ) is allowed before the locking arm catch ( 19 ) has been pushed enough for moving the locking arm ( 15 ) to the second locking arm position.

4. The locking device according to claim 3 , wherein the play ( 23 ) is between 0.3-5 mm or between 0.5-3 mm.

5. The locking device according to claim 3 , wherein, when the first follower arm ( 11 ) is moved for pushing the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) to the second latch bolt position, the locking arm catch engagement part ( 21 ) will start to push the locking arm catch ( 19 ) for moving the locking arm ( 15 ) towards the second locking arm position and the latch bolt engagement part ( 13 ) of the first follower arm ( 11 ) will start to push the first follower arm engagement part ( 7 ) of the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) for moving the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) towards the second latch bolt position substantially at the same time with a possible small time difference as allowed by the play ( 23 ) between the blocking part ( 17 ) and the latch bolt arrangement.

6. The locking device according to claim 1 , wherein said locking arm catch engagement part ( 21 ) is in contact with the locking arm catch ( 19 ) when the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) is locked in the first latch bolt position by the blocking part ( 17 ) while at the same time the latch bolt engagement part ( 13 ) of the first follower arm ( 11 ) is in contact with the first follower arm engagement part ( 7 ) of the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ).

7. The locking device according to claim 1 , wherein said locking arm ( 15 ) is pivotally arranged in the locking device ( 1 ) and a spring is provided to the locking arm ( 15 ), wherein this spring urges the locking arm ( 15 ) into the first locking arm position, and wherein geometries of the locking arm catch ( 19 ) and the locking arm catch engagement part ( 21 ) are configured such that when the first follower arm ( 11 ) is moved for pushing the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) to the second latch bolt position, the blocking part ( 17 ) is pushed down by the locking arm catch engagement part ( 21 ) until the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) passes the blocking part ( 17 ) and the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) rests on a resting surface ( 37 ) of the locking arm.

8. The locking device according to claim 1 , wherein the first follower arrangement ( 8 ) comprises a cylinder follower ( 9 ) and the first follower arm ( 11 ) which are connected to each other such that a counter clockwise rotational motion of the cylinder follower ( 9 ) is transferred to motion of the first follower arm ( 11 ) for pushing the latch bolt arrangement ( 2 ) to the second latch bolt position and hereby unlocks the locking device.
