Lock assembly for non-pivotable door
11578507 · 2023-02-14 · ·

A locking assembly for a non-pivotable door is provided. The locking assembly comprises a spacer plate defining a spacer plate bolt void and a strike plate defining a strike plate bolt void. The spacer plate and strike plate are to be coupled to one another and further fixedly coupled to the non-pivotable door, such that the spacer plate bolt void and the strike plate bolt void are aligned. The locking assembly further comprises a locking mechanism and a housing, which is configured to receive and contain the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism comprises a latch bolt that is moveable between a retracted position within the housing and a deployed position. In the deployed position, the latch bolt extends outwardly from the housing and into each of the spacer plate bolt void and the strike plate bolt void, thereby locking the non-pivotable door to the housing.

Locking mechanism including energy storage

Certain aspects of the technology disclosed herein include an apparatus and method for storing energy in a electromechanical lock. The electromechanical lock can include a main housing and a deadbolt. The main housing can be configured to extend a deadbolt along a path to lock and/or unlock a door. The deadbolt can have a hollow inner region configured to receive an energy storage device. The energy storage device within the deadbolt can be electrically connected to the main housing. The energy storage device can be used to power an actuator and/or accelerometer in the main housing.

The door lock according to the invention comprises a lock body, a bolt, a follower, a driver on both sides of the follower, and a latch solution to connect at least one of the drivers in force transmission connection and out of force transmission connection with the follower. The door lock further comprises a baffle plate between the follower and the driver at least on one side of the follower. The baffle plate comprises at least one support surface, which is set against the lock body or against a part which is connected to the lock body in a fixed manner. The baffle plate can thus not be rotated in relation to the lock body. A baffle plate which cannot be rotated prevents turning force from being transmitted from the driver to the follower.

Ligature safe door
11702881 · 2023-07-18 · ·

The safe door is a releasable door comprising a fire resistant body attached to a door jamb to provide privacy. Safe door comprises a frame less door panel attached to a door jamb by magnets engineered to release when a breakaway force is applied to the door in any direction. Safe door is assembled with welding and adhesive of a foam core, a fire sock and a protective sheet inside a cover of vinyl sheeting. The fire sock and cover are closed to prevent moisture penetration or disassembly to protect people and property. A handle on a handle side and a hinge on a hinge side attach where a traditional door may attach to allow door to move from an open position to a closed position.

Dual function security/fire locking mechanism for fire rated devices

An exit device located in a door frame having a door strike including a latchbolt assembly, a pushbar assembly, and a link assembly. The latchbolt assembly includes an extended position configured to engage the door strike, and a retracted position configured to move past the door strike. The pushbar assembly moves from a released position to a pressed position to move the latchbolt assembly from the extended position to the retracted position. The link assembly is operatively connected to the pushbar assembly and includes a security link having an elongated aperture and a pin configured to extend through the elongated aperture about which the security link rotates. A keeper surrounds the pin and supports the security link for rotation. In the event of extreme heat, the keeper melts and the security link moves to a position to substantially prevent opening of the door.

A pin tumbler lock has a body in which is rotatably housed a core assembly that includes first and second core portions that are rotatable relative to each other, the first core portion being coupled to a moveable cam operatively connected to a locking element external to the lock, and the second core portion including a keyway, there being a shaft extending from the core assembly into the lock body, and a pin stack including a driver pin and a key pin within the shaft, the stack being positionable under bias to engage the first and second core portions against independent rotation, wherein the pin stack is positionable in the presence of an object other than a correct key in the keyway to cause disengagement of the first core portion from the second core portion. The first and second core portions may be coaxially aligned.
