A latch assembly that is adjustable between first and second backset settings. A cam is rotatable about a cam axis, and facilitates linear displacement of a latch link in a first direction. A multiplier link is rotatable about a multiplier link axis that is offset from the cam axis can be rotated in the first rotational direction by engagement with the latch link. A latch bar is coupled to the multiplier link and is linearly displaced in a second direction by rotation of the multiplier link in the first direction. The latch apparatus also includes a latch bolt that is coupled to the latch bar, the latch bolt being displaced toward a retracted position by the displacement of the latch bar in the second direction. The latch assembly can also include a dead latch link can block retraction of at least the latch bolt.

The present invention relates to a closed force transmission device in which an insertion depth of a latch bolt inserted into a latch bolt insertion groove can be adjusted to improve safety and components are simplified to allow for ease of assembly and to improve durability. The present invention also relates to a safety door lock using the device. The closed force transmission device of the present invention includes: a cylindrical body housing of which both sides are opened to penetrate a door; a main body slidably arranged within the body housing such that the main body moves in a straight line direction by the force applied from an external source, the main body having at least one tilt surface and a main body movement space formed orthogonally to the straight movement direction in a portion corresponding to the tilt surface.

A latch mechanism includes a hook, a displaceable handle, and links connected between the handle and hook for the operation of the latch mechanism. The handle and links cooperate with the hook to hold the latch mechanism in a locked position.

An adapter and interface permits a standard mortise lock to drive top and bottom latch mechanisms of a multi-point lock system. An actuator permits in situ adjustment of the top and bottom vertical latch projections of adjusting these projections while the door is hung in the door frame. An installation tool assists in the installation of the vertical rods in a door. A connector and carrier secures the vertical rods to the actuator and permits verification of retention of the rods in a multi-point latching system. A latch dogging indicator allows for end-user adjustment between a single-point lock and a multi-point lock system when desired. These different aspects may be employed in combination or separately with other locking systems.

A latch mechanism includes a hook body having a hook body load bearing plate; a hook mechanism, the hook mechanism having a hook with a threaded shaft, the shaft defining a longitudinal axis with respect to the hook body; an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust an axial position of the hook with respect to the hook body; and a bearing block, the bearing block having a block load bearing plate disposed between the adjustment mechanism and the hook body load bearing plate, the bearing block including a first boss configured for engagement with the adjustment mechanism, a second boss configured for engagement with the hook body plate aperture, an inner diameter hole that allows the hook shaft threads to engage with the adjustment mechanism but provides suitable clearance within the second boss inner diameter to prevent the hook shaft threads from bearing out as required in Aerospace design.

The present invention relates to a locking device (10), comprising a threaded rod (12) and a tapping tube (14), which are movable relative to each other. An outer surface of the tube includes a first anti-rotation form. The device further comprises: a locking sleeve (16) positioned around the rod and comprising a second anti-rotation form (60, 62) capable of being assembled to the first anti-rotation form; and an elastic element (18) connected to the locking sleeve. In a locked position, the first (38, 40) and second (60, 62) anti-rotation forms are assembled; and in a release position, said anti-rotation forms are axially spaced apart, whereby the tube is free to rotate relative to the sleeve.
