Abstract: A handle set includes a handle assembly having an operator, a rose insert, and a shank having a bore. The rose insert has a central opening and a post. The shank is affixed to the operator and rotatably received in the central opening. A rotational stop is coupled to the rose insert. A spindle guide is slidably received in the bore and is slidable between a locked position and an unlocked position. A kick-off plate having a retention slot is coupled to the spindle guide. A centralizing cup having a single multi-function tang and a lock retention feature is mounted to the shank. The multi-function tang is configured for rotation along a rotational path, the rotation being limited by the rotational stop. The lock retention feature is positioned to engage the retention slot when the spindle guide is in the locked position to thereby retain it in the locked position.

Abstract: A handleset mechanism of the sort having a pivoting thumb latch and a rotary handle is provided with a force transmission path to generally improve the actuation by the thumb latch and reduce the required force. One feature is a heart-shaped cam that communicates movement between a spindle driven by the rotary handle, and a slider plate driven by the thumb latch. By using the cam, the force required by the thumb latch is reduced. Another feature is the provision of a curved surface between the thumb latch and the slider plate. Further, in one embodiment, the rotary handle can be actuated without any corresponding movement of the thumb latch.

Abstract: A latch assembly for mounting in a bore extending in from a side edge of a door has a backset adjustment for different distances between rotational axis of a handle or keylock and the side edge of the door. The bolt has a concentric aperture into which a bolt adjuster slidably mates with a close tolerance to prevent lateral movement between the bolt and the bolt adjuster. The latch assembly comprises a casing assembly having a bolt assembly longitudinally reciprocal therein between a retracted position and an extended position, the bolt assembly including a bolt with a cylindrical aperture therein, the bolt rotatable and reciprocal relative to a non-rotational cylindrical bolt adjuster and having a sliding fit thereon. A helical groove in one of the bolt or the bolt adjuster engages with a projection of the other of the bolt or bolt adjuster. The casing assembly is in two parts with a non-rotational rear casing integral with a hollow cylindrical portion with a non-helical serpentine shaped slot, and a forward hollow cylindrical casing rotatable and slidable about the front portion of the rear casing, with the forward casing having an internal protrusion to engage in the non-helical serpentine shaped slot. Thus the forward casing and bolt can be rotated together but through significantly different patterns of movement to change the backset with the bolt moving longitudinally ahead of the forward casing midway through simultaneous rotation of both.

Abstract: An adapter unit for mechanically driven doors of the type such as garage doors are driven by a motor and guided at the sides thereof by guide rails mounted to a frame that defines the door opening. The adapter unit comprises an elongated member adapted to be mounted to the back side of the door receiving channel of one of the guide rails. The elongated member defines an elongated inverted U-shaped channel in which a chain is slidably received. A sprocket is rotatably mounted in the elongated member within a circular recess defined in the channel for engagement with the chain. The sprocket is further adapted to centrally engage a shaft of the motor to thus rotate therewith. A door drive mechanism is mounted at one end of the chain and is adapted to be removably coupled to a bracket provided on an inner lower part of the door. The sprocket and chain are adapted to remain engaged between the two extreme positions of the chain which correspond with the open and closed positions of the door. Therefore, upon actuation of the motor, the chain is displaced in the channel thereby causing movement of the door as it is linked thereto by the door drive mechanism engaged in the bracket.

Abstract: A universal load sensing gearbox integrating a safety mechanism for use, for instance, with motor driven closures, such as garage doors, barriers and gates, includes a housing which encases a worm slidably mounted on an input shaft and adapted for rotation therewith. The input shaft is connected with the motor driving the closure. The worm is engaged with a worm gear which is mounted on an output shaft which is connected with the closure. Dished washers are provided generally around the input shaft at both ends of the worm to urge the worm in a central meshed engagement with the worm gear. A motion transmission device is provided on the worm and is adapted to slide therewith to detect a longitudinal movement thereof and to transmit this movement to an actuating device which is adapted to stop and/or reverse the motor. Therefore, sufficient resistance to the rotation of the output shaft resulting, for example, from the closure encountering an object pressure, causes the worm to be displaced along the input shaft against the dished washers along with the transmission device. A sufficient movement of the transmission device causes the actuating device to trip a limit switch which triggers the stoppage and/or reversing of the motor. The load sensing gearbox is also intended for agricultural applications using reducing gearboxes, for actuating aircraft wing flaps, for conveyer belts, etc.
