20210348422 · 2021-11-11 ·

An exemplary trim assembly comprises an escutcheon, a drive spindle, a lock mechanism, a cam mechanism, and a driver. The drive spindle is mounted to the escutcheon for rotation about a longitudinal axis. The lock mechanism includes a lock gear movably mounted in the escutcheon. The cam mechanism includes a first cam defined by the escutcheon and a second cam defined by the lock gear. The driver is operable to rotate the lock gear between a first rotational position and a second rotational position. The cam mechanism is configured to longitudinally drive the lock gear from a first longitudinal position to a second longitudinal position as the lock gear rotates from the first rotational position to the second rotational position. Movement of the lock gear between the first longitudinal position and the second longitudinal position transitions the lock mechanism between a locked state and an unlocked state.

Lock device with a clutch
11814876 · 2023-11-14 · ·

A clutch includes an outer box and an intermediate member pivotably connected to the outer box. The intermediate member is coupled with an outer handle to pivot therewith. A torsion spring is disposed between the intermediate member and the outer box and biases the intermediate member to an initial position. A coupling member is pivotably mounted between the intermediate member and the outer box and is operatively connected to a first latch of a latch device of a lock device. When the coupling member and the intermediate member are jointly pivotable, pivotal movement of the outer handle causes the first latch to move from the latching position or the unlatching position. When the coupling member is not jointly pivotable with the intermediate member, pivotal movement of the outer handle is incapable of causing movement of the first latch. A lock device with the clutch is also disclosed.

DOOR LOCK ADAPTER
20220213723 · 2022-07-07 ·

An adapter configured to convert a rotary motion of a drive shaft for a door lock actuating mechanism into a translational motion for actuating a door latch. The adapter includes 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.

Electronically controlled padlock

This invention relates to a padlock assembly 1 including a body 2 with a hand engageable portion 4 that is external to the body 2 forming part of an actuator mechanism 5. The actuator mechanism 5 is electrically controllable to adjust between an operable condition and an inoperable condition to adjust a condition of a lock mechanism 31.

Electronic lock with clutch

A lockset including a bolt mechanism, an exterior assembly, an interior assembly, a driving tailpiece, and a driven tailpiece. The bolt assembly includes a bolt having an extended position and a retracted position. The exterior assembly includes a rotatable exterior manual actuator. The interior assembly includes a clutch having a coupling state and a decoupling state. The driving tailpiece is connected between the exterior manual actuator and the clutch. The driven tailpiece is connected between the clutch and the bolt mechanism such that rotation of the driven tailpiece actuates the bolt assembly. In the coupling state, the clutch couples the driving tailpiece with the driven tailpiece such that the exterior manual actuator is operable to actuate the bolt assembly. In the decoupling state, the clutch decouples the driving tailpiece from the driven tailpiece such that the exterior manual actuator is inoperable to actuate the bolt assembly.
