Patent number: 10760303Abstract: A multi-point locking arrangement is provided. The multi-point locking arrangement includes a primary lock bolt and an auxiliary lock bolt offset from the primary lock bolt. The multi-point locking arrangement, in an embodiment, uses a single actuation motion to transition between locked and unlocked states. The locking arrangement may also include a lockout device that prevents transitioning from the unlocked state to the locked state when the lockout device is not actuated. The locking arrangement may include a biased auxiliary strike plate that cooperate with the auxiliary lock bolt to provide improved alignment and a tighter seal.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2017Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Hoppe Holding AGInventors: Christian Josef Stephan Zeus, Oliver Erich Rudolf Schuberth, Matthew T.

Patent number: 10132103Abstract: An actuation handle having a handle, having a handle neck and rotatably connected to an installation body, is provided. The handle connects to an actuation element in the door or window via a driver. Two detent elements engage in at least one functional position of the handle. An axially movable, non-rotatably mounted detent ring includes a first detent element. A counter detent ring includes a second detent element that corresponds to the first detent element. A guide sleeve provides a non-rotating receptacle for the driver, aligns centrally with the rotary axis of the handle, and has guide elements along its inner circumference. The detent ring has an opening and has guide elements along its outer circumference. The detent ring is inserted into the guide sleeve and the opening receives the driver, while its guide elements are engaged with the guide elements of the guide sleeve in an axially movable manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2015Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: HOPPE AGInventors: Elias Karnutsch, Oliver Erich Rudolf Schuberth

Patent number: 7878034Abstract: An intuitively operable door locking arrangement and a method include, a lock-point arming input element that is connected directly to a handle-operated control element of the locking arrangement, rather than being connected directly to a lock-point of the door locking arrangement. The locking arrangement and method may be used in hinged single or multiple-panel installations, having single, and/or multiple lock-points, may allow keyless locking from outside, and may include a latching arrangement. In active door locking apparatuses, the lock-point is movable only through operation of the handle-operated control element. The lock point arming element is selectively moveable between an armed and a disarmed position thereof, and is configured and connected to the handle-operated control element in such a manner that the handle-operated control element may be used to move the lock-point to the locked position thereof only when the lock-point arming input element is in the armed position thereof.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2007Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: HOPPE Holding AGInventors: Helmut Alber, Oliver Erich Rudolf Schuberth, Christian Josef Stephan Zeus, Dan Mattrisch, Eric Stoutenborough, Matt Taylor
