  • Publication number: 20070252407
    Abstract: A latch arrangement includes a power control system which can be energized to prevent opening of a door latch by controlling the movement of a release mechanism within a latch. A sensor monitors an operative state of the release mechanism. In the event the sensor detects an unauthorized attempt to open a door, the power control system is energized, thereby preventing unauthorized opening of the latch. The sensor can monitor the direct movement of a door handle. Additionally, or alternatively, the sensor can monitor an internal component within the release mechanism to monitor movements indicative of movement of the door handle.

  • Publication number: 20070200360
    Abstract: A latch arrangement includes a lever movable in response to movement of a door lever. A controller is configured for selectively preventing movement of the lever. The controller includes a mono-stable blocking element in the form of a bi-metallic strip which can be operated such that a distal end acts to block movement of the lever. The controller also includes a bi-stable blocking element having a nib that can be moved to an extended position to block movement of the lever. Both blocking elements can be operated at the same time. When either of the blocking elements are arranged in the path of the release lever, unlatching of the door is prevented.

  • Publication number: 20060273088
    Abstract: A handle includes movable flaps. The movement of one of the flaps in one direction moves another of the flaps in another direction. The distance between the flaps is constant along the flaps. A door can include the handle. Movement of the flaps in a manner similar to that of a pair of scissors can be prevented, preventing any risk of pinching when actuating the flaps.
