Abstract:
A door latch has an adjustable cam (25) to accommodate two backsets of the bore (24) through a door. The cam (25) is operably attached to a handle (14). Rotation of the handle (24) approximately 45 DEG fully retracts latch bolt (54) and deadbolt (56) through a slide actuator (100) that pulls a link (112) which pivots a cam lever (104) that retracts the bolt (54). The bolt (54) retracting motion is magnified with respect to the motion of actuator (100) via the link (112) and cam lever (104). The link (112) and cam lever (104) are mounted within cylinder section half (52) of housing (28) so as not to interfere with the deadbolt (56) and its slide (150) and deadbolt locking plate (170) that are mounted in a complementary cylinder half (51).
Abstract:
The invention relates to an armature arrangement (10) which can be mounted in bores of a door which horizontally meet, a window or the like and which has handles (20) which are non-rotatably linked to a rotor (40). A two-armed catch (50) acts upon a rotor bridge (45). Said catch can be swiveled in opposite direction to the movement of the rotor (40) to actuate a spring-biased latch (15). Said rotor is operated by a recuperator spring and is mounted in an axially stable manner in a housing (30). The driving connection between the rotor (40) and the catch (50) can be optionally established or disestablished by means of a coupling device (200). The coupling device is actuated by a handle (olive turning handle 207, 208) which can be engaged with the rotor (40). A short catch-arm (54) effects coupling or decoupling by means of a driving pin (201) which can be lifted and lowered in relation to the rotor bridge (45) by turning wings (216) of each coupling half (202). The two coupling halves (202) are connected via a rod (206) in a non-rotatable but axially releasable manner. Said rod can be displaced on a 90 DEG curve within the rotor (40) which guides the driving pin (201) in aligned slots (210) in a radially movable manner. A handle core (217) can be axially engaged with a recess (222) of a coupling half (202).

The retractable actuator including an elongate body extending between opposing ends, and a knob being formed separate to the elongate body and mounted thereon via a mounting arrangement. Also disclosed, in some embodiments, is a receiver unit having a magnet for attracting the latch pin the latch pin towards a displaced position. The receiver unit including a receiver body and a carrier, the receiver body including an interior surface defining a cavity for receiving the carrier therein. The carrier being configured for retaining the magnet. The carrier includes at least one retention portion for releasably retaining the magnet in the carrier.
Abstract:
The locking device (1) for doors/windows comprises: one supporting frame (5) mounted on a first portion (2) of a door/window (2, 3) movable close to/away from a second portion (3) of the door/window (2, 3) between at least one closure configuration and at least one opening configuration; one locking pin (4) movable in a sliding manner along one direction of movement (A) between one forward position and one backward position and mounted on the supporting frame (5); control means (19, 20) provided with operating means (19) adapted to move the locking pin (4) from the forward position to the backward position; return means (18) coupled to the locking pin (4) and adapted to move the latter from the backward position to the forward position; anti break-in means (12, 13) adapted, in the closure configuration, to prevent the locking pin (4) from moving from the forward position to the backward position by means of break-in means (17) adapted to forcibly move the locking pin (4) from the forward position to the backward position.
Abstract:
An adapter for converting a rotary motion of a drive shaft for a door lock actuating mechanism into a translational motion for actuating a door latch, the adapter comprising a housing with a compartment and a first lever inside the compartment, enables retrofitting of US-style doors with a European style door handle by providing a first bearing that rotatably supports the first lever relative to the housing, wherein the first bearing has a first axis of rotation, wherein the housing has a channel, the channel has a first opening facing the lever and a second opening facing away from the lever, wherein a first channel axis extends through the centers of the first and second openings. The first lever has a hole, configured for receiving the drive shaft, wherein the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft correlates with the first axis of rotation. The first lever further has first coupling means for providing a torque proof coupling with the drive shaft. A second bearing pivotably attaches the lever to a connecting rod, where-in the second bearing has a second axis of rotation, wherein the connecting rod has a first connecting element at the end of the connecting rod opposite to the lever. The first connecting element is moveably supported inside the first channel, wherein the channel walls limit a translation of the first connecting element in directions perpendicular to the first channel axis and enable a translation along the first channel axis.

Abstract:
Lock assemblies for a sliding panel are disclosed. One such lock assembly for a sliding panel comprises: a body; a handle movable laterally relative to the body; and one or more beaks movable longitudinally relative to the body; wherein lateral movement of the handle from an engaged position to a release position causes the one or more beaks to move longitudinally from an engaged position to a release position.
