Handle device for operating doors, windows and the like. The handle device comprises a first element (3, 103), which is rotatable about an axis of rotation, a second element (8, 108), and a coupling device (10, 110) which is arranged to selectively allow and prevent relative rotation about the axis of rotation between the first and the second element. The coupling device comprises a first coupling member (11, 111) which is connected to or forming an integral part of the first element. A second coupling member (12) is connected to or forming an integral part of the second element (112). At least one engaging member (13, 13, 113, 114) is movable between an engagement position in which it simultaneously engages the first and the second coupling members to thereby prevent relative rotation between the first and second element and a release position in which it is disengaged from at least one of the first and second coupling members to thereby allow relative rotation between the first and second element. An actuator (22, 122) is arranged to move the engaging member between the engagement position and the release position. The engaging member (13, 14, 113, 114) is pivotally mounted to the first coupling member (11,111) and arranged to pivotally move between the engagement position and the release position.

Release mechanism (10) for an electronic locking system (156), wherein the release mechanism (10) is configured such that an input member (14) and an output member (16) are locked against relative rotation and can rotate together within a locking ring opening (22) when a locking member (20) is located in an input member recess (42) and in an output member recess (46), and such that the output member (16) is released to rotate relative to the input member (14) when the locking member (20) is located in the output member recess (46) and in a locking ring recess (26). A freewheel mechanism (66) and assemblies (98) for an electronic locking system (156) are also provided.

Release mechanism for an electronic locking system, wherein the release mechanism is configured such that an input member and an output member are locked against relative rotation and can rotate together within a locking ring opening when a locking member is located in an input member recess and in an output member recess, and such that the output member is released to rotate relative to the input member when the locking member is located in the output member recess and in a locking ring recess. A freewheel mechanism and assemblies for an electronic locking system are also provided.

A door lock device is provided and includes: a housing, an acting assembly arranged in the housing and having a lock tongue, an operating assembly arranged in the housing and interlocked with an outdoor handle, and a regulating assembly arranged in the housing for a user to regulate the operating assembly into an interlocking state or an idle state. As such, in the interlocking state, the outdoor handle drives the acting assembly through the operating assembly to cause the lock tongue to extend or retract relative to the housing, and in the idle state, the operating assembly cannot drive the acting assembly and the outdoor handle cannot be interlocked with the lock tongue.

An example lockset generally includes a housing, a bolt, a turnhub, and a spindle. The bolt is mounted in the housing for movement between an extended position and a retracted position. The turnhub is rotatably mounted in the housing and engaged with the bolt. Rotation of the turnhub in a bolt-extending direction drives the bolt toward the extended position, and rotation of the turnhub in a bolt-retracting direction opposite the bolt-extending direction drives the bolt toward the retracted position. The spindle engaged with the turnhub, is operable to exert torque on the turnhub in the bolt-retracting direction, and is selectively operable to exert torque on the turnhub in the bolt-extending direction. The housing includes a pair of stops configured to limit rotation of the spindle to a predetermined angular range.

An exemplary handle assembly including a handle and a coupling mechanism. The handle includes a shank and a manually graspable portion extending from the shank. The coupling mechanism includes a coupling member and a cam sleeve. The coupling member is mounted to the shank for movement between a coupling position and a decoupling position. The cam sleeve is movably mounted to the shank and covers the coupling member. A radially-inner portion of the cam sleeve includes a cam surface operable to engage the coupling member. The cam surface is configured to drive the coupling member from the decoupling position to the coupling position as the cam sleeve is displaced from a home position to a displaced position.

A door lock device is provided and includes: a housing, an acting assembly arranged in the housing and having a lock tongue, an operating assembly arranged in the housing and interlocked with an outdoor handle, and a regulating assembly arranged in the housing for a user to regulate the operating assembly into an interlocking state or an idle state. As such, in the interlocking state, the outdoor handle drives the acting assembly through the operating assembly to cause the lock tongue to extend or retract relative to the housing, and in the idle state, the operating assembly cannot drive the acting assembly and the outdoor handle cannot be interlocked with the lock tongue.

A mechanism for selectively coupling a first moving part with a second moving part. The mechanism includes and engaging member that is movable between a detent position, a uncoupled position, and a coupled position in which the load transferring surface is within the aperture. A biasing member biases the engaging member into the detent position or coupled position. The engaging member overrides the biasing force and moves out of the detent position into the uncoupled position when first and second moving parts move relative to each other. When the engaging member is in the coupled position, the first and second moving parts are coupled for movement together. One embodiment of the invention is a child safety door handle rotating on a spindle. Other embodiments include water faucets, stove or burner controls, or any other rotatable or movable parts.

A door lock device is provided and includes: a housing, an acting assembly arranged in the housing and having a lock tongue, an operating assembly arranged in the housing and interlocked with an outdoor handle, and a regulating assembly arranged in the housing for a user to regulate the operating assembly into an interlocking state or an idle state. As such, in the interlocking state, the outdoor handle drives the acting assembly through the operating assembly to cause the lock tongue to extend or retract relative to the housing, and in the idle state, the operating assembly cannot drive the acting assembly and the outdoor handle cannot be interlocked with the lock tongue.

A hub (10) for a lock device (104), the hub (10) comprising an outer member (12) having an outer opening structure (20); an inner member (14) having an inner opening structure (22); an intermediate member (16) having an intermediate opening structure (24); an attachment element (18) configured to be attached to the intermediate member (16), and being movable between a locking position (96) and an unlocking position (102); and a locking member (28) for rotationally locking the outer member (12) and the intermediate member (16), or for rotationally locking the inner member (14) and the intermediate member (16); wherein the hub (10) is configured such that the locking member (28) can be withdrawn from the intermediate member (16) when the attachment element (18) adopts the unlocking position (102). A lock device (104) comprising a hub (10) is also provided.
