DAMPENER FOR AN EXIT DEVICE
A dampener for an exit device may be disposed between a portion of an exit device actuator and an exit device chassis so that the dampener dampens vibrations to reduce noise of the exit device and/or inhibit unintentional movement of the actuator to an actuated position. The dampener may be composed at least partially of a viscoelastic material.
INTERCHANGEABLE CORE LOCK ASSEMBLIES
In one aspect of the present disclosure, a locking device is provided including an interchangeable core (IC), a barrel, an anti-rotation plate, a prong driver, a bolt and a backplate. The barrel is coupled to the backplate and includes a hollow interior to receive the IC. The bolt is slidably disposed in a slot of the backplate. The IC includes a key hole. The prong driver is coupled to the IC and the bolt, such that, when a proper key is inserted into the key hole and rotated the bolt can be extended from the slot in a direction away from the locking device or retracted into the slot in a direction toward the interior of the locking device. The anti-rotation plate of the locking device is coupled to the barrel to prevent the locking device from being rotated relative to a structure the locking device is mounted to.
Handle assembly with lock, particularly for a glass leaf
Described is a handle assembly (10) with lock (100), particularly for a glass leaf (200), which comprises a first fastening member (11), having a first abutment face (12) designed to make contact with a first face (201) of a leaf (200), a second fastening member (13) and a connecting mechanism (15) for mutually connecting the fastening members (11, 13). The first fastening member (11) comprises: a casing (17) equipped with an operating opening (18); a housing (19) for a cylinder (101) of the lock (100) and equipped with a locking device (21) for blocking the cylinder (101); a closing element (22) movable with respect to the housing (19) between an open position and a closed position in contrast with an elastic device (23).
In the closed position of the closing element (22) it is interposed between the operating position (18) and the locking device (21) and in the open position the closing element (22) protrudes from the first abutment face (12) and it is not interposed between the operating opening (18) and the locking device (21).
Universal rim housing locking system
A handle assembly includes a lock cylinder of a selected one of a first standard or a different second standard. A tail piece extends from the lock cylinder. The handle assembly also includes a vertical tubular member, a horizontal tubular member and a transition plate. The transition plate is disposed within the vertical tubular member and is moveable between a first position and a different second position. The transition plate accommodates installation of the lock cylinder of the first standard when in the first position and installation of the lock cylinder of the second standard when in the second position. A mechanical linkage is coupled to the tail piece and effects movement of a locking bolt in response to turning of a key in the lock cylinder.
MOBILE ACCOMMODATION, FRAMED WINDOW AND CLOSURE
Mobile accommodation comprising a wall (10) with a wall opening (5) in which an openable window is arranged, which window is provided with closing means for keeping the window in a closed position. The closing means comprise a closure (30) with a handle (34) which is connected for rotation about a pivot axis (III) to the window, and with a protrusion (35) which, in a first position of the closure round the pivot axis, is in closing co-action with a shoulder on the edge of the wall opening. In a second position of the handle about the pivot axis, the protrusion is disengaged from the shoulder in order to release the window. The pivot axis (III) makes an obtuse angle with the window, which angle opens toward a hinge side of the window. In the first position the handle is oriented substantially parallel (I) to the window and in the second position points at an acute angle (a) toward the hinge side of the window.
Interchangeable core lock assemblies
In one aspect of the present disclosure, a locking device is provided including an interchangeable core (IC), a barrel, an anti-rotation plate, a prong driver, a bolt and a backplate. The barrel is coupled to the backplate and includes a hollow interior to receive the IC. The bolt is slidably disposed in a slot of the backplate. The IC includes a key hole. The prong driver is coupled to the IC and the bolt, such that, when a proper key is inserted into the key hole and rotated the bolt can be extended from the slot in a direction away from the locking device or retracted into the slot in a direction toward the interior of the locking device. The anti-rotation plate of the locking device is coupled to the barrel to prevent the locking device from being rotated relative to a structure the locking device is mounted to.
DOOR-OPERATING ASSEMBLY
A door-operating assembly has first and second subassemblies each having a housing, a magnet, a sleeve carrying the sleeve and rotatable in the respective housing about an axis, an actuator for rotating the first sleeve about the respective axis, and a rotation limiter restricting rotation of the respective sleeve and magnet. The magnets in a first position repel and push the respective sleeves axially away from each other such that the first rotation limiter is effective in a first direction on the first sleeve and the second rotation limiter is effective in a second rotation direction on the second sleeve. Conversely, the magnets in a second position attract and pull the sleeves axially toward each other such that the first rotation limiter is effective against the first rotation direction on the first sleeve and the second rotation limiter is effective against the second rotation direction on the second sleeve.
MAGNETIC LOCK
A magnetic lock has a magnetically operable latch having a magnetically repellable or attractable latch element. A magnetic operating device spaced from the latch has a first magnet with a respective magnetic direction and a second magnet with a respective magnetic direction. The first magnet is rotatable between a latched position with its magnetic direction generally parallel to and pointing oppositely to the magnetic direction of the second magnet for contracting a magnetic field formed by the first and second magnets, and a release position generally parallel to and with its magnetic direction pointing the same as the second magnet for extending the magnetic field to and repelling or attracting the latch element.
MAGNETIC DOOR-OPERATING ASSEMBLY WITH STATUS INDICATOR
A door-operating assembly has an operating device having a device housing and a device magnet and rotatable in the housing about a first axis between a first functional position and a second functional position, and a status indicator that is coupled with the operating device and has an indicator housing and an indicator magnet movable in the indicator housing along the first axis between a first display position and a second display position. The magnets are so oriented that rotation of the device magnet about the first axis from the respective first functional position into the respective second functional position displaces the indicator magnet axially of the first axis from the first display position into the second display position.
Panic exit device and door handle
An exit device comprises an inner door handle adapted to be mounted to a door for movement relative to the door from a first position to a second position. A pair of brackets are adapted to be operatively connected between the respective ends of a horizontal portion and a vertical portion of the door handle. Each bracket comprises a first bracket member secured to the door handle, a second bracket member adapted to be secured to the door, and a pin for joining the first bracket member and the second bracket member for rotation about an axis through the pin. The first bracket member and the second bracket member pivot relative to one another when the door handle moves between the first position and the second position.
