  • Patent number: 8905443
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lock assembly (10) of a planar component (22) displaceably mounted in frame (30). Said assembly (10) comprises an engaging element (40) which, in said planar component's closed position, can be fixed in place in a latching system (50). Said latching system is designed in a manner that, in its blocked position, the engaging element, for instance a bar affixable by compression and/or friction in the latching system (50), can be inserted into latter in a first direction (R) opposite the direction of closing (X) of the planar component (20), whereas such insertion is blocked in a second direction (S) which is opposite said planar component's direction of opening (O). This design allows almost noiselessly operating the lock assembly. The planar component also may be closed when the latching system is in the blocked position already when the planar component is open.

  • Patent number: 6601270
    Abstract: A handle (10) supported pivotably but axially tight on an installation body (20) has a polygonal bar (30) mounted for rotation within a handle neck (12) for actuating a closing mechanism. Two drivers (15, 35) movable relative to each other are engageable in a non-positive and/or a positive way between neighboring surfaces (17, 37) either directly or by means of coupling elements (36, 40, 42) so that a torque transmission from the handle (10) to the polygonal bar (30) is free but is blocked from the polygonal bar (30) to the handle (10) as at least one coupling element (36) is displaced in the direction of the attack. A main portion of a polygonal driver (35) may be concentrically enclosed by a two-shell handle driver (15) having wings (52) with front faces (19) which drive e.g. pairs of spring-loaded roller pins (36) held in a wedge-shaped confining zone (55). Corner areas of indentations (31) of the polygonal driver (35) serve to attack the roller pins (36).

  • Patent number: 5752727
    Abstract: A drive type operating mechanism for locking gates, windows, double-wing doors and the like includes push rods which are movable longitudinally in opposite directions to effect locking of the upper and lower ends of the door with the surrounding framework. The mechanism is connected for actuation by a lever handle through an arrangement of follower elements that are slidable supported in a lock case. A nut sleeve follower which is rotatable by the lever handle has one claw which cooperates with a groove in one longitudinally movable follower, and a second claw which cooperates with a transversely slidable intermediate follower which in turn cooperates with a groove in the second longitudinal follower, this arrangement ensuring that upon rotation of the handle the followers (and hence the locking bolts) move in opposite directions. A lock mechanism ensures that the longitudinally movable followers are not inadvertently moved from their end limiting positions.
