  • Patent number: 12687037
    Abstract: An exemplary lockset trim generally includes an escutcheon, an indicator mechanism, and a cam. The indicator mechanism is mounted in the escutcheon for sliding movement between a first linear position, in which a first indicium is visible via a window in the escutcheon, and a second linear position, in which a second indicium is visible via the window. The indicator mechanism is biased toward the first linear position. The cam is rotatably mounted in the escutcheon for rotation about a longitudinal axis between a first rotational position, in which the cam permits the indicator mechanism to adopt the first linear position, and a second rotational position, in which the cam retains the indicator mechanism in the second linear position.

  • Publication number: 20250223839
    Abstract: An exemplary latch assembly generally includes a tubular housing, a latchbolt, a slide member, a rotary member, and a motor. The latchbolt is mounted for sliding movement in the tubular housing between an extended position and a retracted position, and the latchbolt is biased toward the extended position. The slide member is slidably mounted within the tubular housing and engaged with the latchbolt such that the slide member is operable to retract the latchbolt. The rotary member is rotatably mounted in the tubular housing and engaged with the slide member. The motor is operable to rotate the rotary member in a first rotational direction, and rotation of the rotary member in the first rotational direction drives the slide member in a first linear direction to thereby retract the latchbolt. Further embodiments, forms, features, and aspects of the present application shall become apparent from the description and figures provided herewith.
