In certain forms, an outside trim assembly and/or an inside trim assembly may be utilized across multiple formats of access control device, such as the mortise format, the tubular format, and/or the exit format.

Indicator lever
11542725 · 2023-01-03 · ·

An indicator assembly for a lock assembly in which rotation of an indicator barrel having different indicator symbols is facilitated via magnetic forces. Upon locking of the lock assembly, such as via a push button assembly, an actuator is linearly displaced in a first direction, thereby causing an activation pin that is connected to the actuator to push an activation carrier in the first direction. The activation carrier can also be rotated so that a first pole of a first magnet that is coupled to the activation carrier is linearly and rotatably brought into closer proximity to a similar first pole of a second magnet that is coupled to the indicator barrel. Such displacement of the first magnet can cause a repelling force to be provided between the first and second magnets that facilitates the rotation of the indicator barrel about the lever from a first position to a second position.

Pet travel door system

A pet travel door system may include a door having an integrated pet travel door. The door may include a main body member having a door panel. A passageway may be formed in the door panel. A recess may be formed within the top and/or the bottom of the passageway. The system may include a structural member matingly engaged with the recess and a U-shaped structural member that overlies the recess having the structural member matingly engaged thereto. The structural member and the U-shaped structural member may have a through channel formed through a portion thereof. The main body member may have a respective receiving channel formed therein. The through channels formed in the structural member and the U-shaped structural member may be positioned to align with one another and with the respective receiving channel formed in the main body member.

Passenger door lock for drop-down style doors on an aircraft
11519202 · 2022-12-06 · ·

Apparatus, systems, and methods for selectively locking and unlocking a passenger door. The apparatus includes a first shaft, having a first longitudinal centerline, and a member, connected to the first shaft. A handle is connected to the first shaft via the member, the handle being movable via rotation of the first shaft from a locked position and an unlocked position. A first protrusion extends from the handle and a latch crank is connected to the second shaft. A second protrusion extends from the latch crank and a linkage is connected between the latch crank and the member. When the handle in the locked position, the first protrusion is positioned adjacent to the second protrusion to prevent rotation of the second shaft. When the handle is in the unlocked position, the first protrusion is positioned away from the second protrusion to enable the second shaft to rotate.

AIRCRAFT DOOR HANDLE WITH LIMITED APPLICABLE LOAD

A handle for opening and closing a door of an aircraft is provided. The handle has a base part lockable to a rotatable shaft of an opening mechanism of the door, a hand gripping part connected to the base part, and a hinge connecting the base part to the hand gripping part to allow relative rotation of the hand gripping part with respect to the base part about a first axis. At least one seat is integral with the base part and at least one seat is integral with the hand gripping part, the seats being adjacent and aligned along a second axis parallel to the first axis. A mechanical fuse element of constraint is received in the seats, such that by applying to the hand gripping part a bending stress around the hinge greater than a predetermined threshold, the mechanical fuse element of constraint shears between the seats.

Smartlock system for improved fire safety

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage mediums, for a smartlock device that can be integrated in a door at a property. The smartlock device includes a locking mechanism configured to lock the door and to unlock the door. The device includes a radio device and a sensor that determines a first temperature of the smartlock device and a second temperature of a room that is accessible via the door. The radio device is operable to: i) receive parameter signals from the sensor indicating each of the first and second temperatures; ii) transmit data that includes the first and second temperatures to a monitoring system; and iii) receive a command to cause the locking mechanism to unlock the door based on information from the monitoring system. The information includes a determined routing of occupants at the property and is presented on a display of the device.
