Chubb, CHARLES, locksmith, was patentee of several important improvements in 'detector' locks, originally patented by his brother, Jeremiah Chubb of Portsea, in 1818. He was in the hardware business at Winchester and Portsea previous to his settlement in London, where he died, 16th May 1845. Under his son and successor, John Chubb (1816-72), further patents were taken out and improvements made in locks and safes, and the business was greatly developed. See LOCK.
