Patent number: 11557160Abstract: An actuation handle (4) for attaching to an outside of a door (2) has an access control system designed to control a motorized lock, that contains an evaluation unit and a reader (8) for reading and identifying a transponder located in a first detection range (12) defined by the reader (8). The reader (8) is integrated in the actuation handle (4). There is also a sensor (10) for detecting an object located in a second detection range (14) defined by the sensor (10), which is coupled to the evaluation unit and integrated in the actuation handle (4). The sensor (10) is located on a first section (16) of the actuation handle (4), and the second detection range (14) extends outward from the first section (16). The evaluation unit is configured to activate the sensor (10) to detect an object in the second detection range (14) after identifying a transponder.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2019Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: HOPPE AGInventors: Christian Josef Stephan Zeus, Oliver Erich Rudolf Schuberth, Kilian Günther Englert, Simon Pedross

Publication number: 20210312736Abstract: An access system (2) has a first actuation handle (6) that is attached to an outside of a door (4), a second actuation handle (8) that is attached to an inside of a door (4), and an access control system that has at least one evaluation unit (14), which is coupled to the at least one reader (10, 12) and is configured to identify a transponder that has been read. The system is characterized in that a first reader (10) is located on the outside of the door (4) and a second reader (12) is located on the inside of the door (4), and that the at least one evaluation unit (14) is configured to determine whether a transponder (16) read by the first reader (10) and/or the second reader (12) and identified by the at least one evaluation unit (14) is inside or outside the door (4), and to generate a door-opening signal if the identified transponder (16) is on the outside.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2019Publication date: October 7, 2021Applicant: HOPPE AGInventors: Christian Josef Stephan Zeus, Oliver Erich Rudolf Schuberth, Kilian Günther Englert, Simon Pedross

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: 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

Publication number: 20100225128Abstract: The invention relates to an actuating handle with a stop element for a door. The stop element comprises at least one attachment element that can be fixed to the door, a handle for actuating the door and/or a closure device arranged in the door. The attachment element, which is arranged and/or designed in such a way that it can be fixed at and/or in the closure device perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the stop element is connected with the stop element and can be introduced into the closure device by passing through a lateral surface of the door. In this way, the mounting of the actuating handle is made easier and can be carried out independently of the respective installation situation, if possible without tools.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2008Publication date: September 9, 2010Inventors: Heinz-Eckhard Engel, Rudolf Stieger, Elias Karnutsch, Christian Josef Stephan Zeus

Patent number: 7686357Abstract: An operating mechanism for building components such as windows, doors and the like comprises at least one handle and an actuating element that ca be made to engage the handle in a mutually non-rotational manner. A blocking device is situated between the handle and the actuating element and is designed so that the actuating element is insertable in a first direction into the handle whereas its displacement in the opposite direction is blocked.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2006Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Hoppe AGInventors: Heinz-Eckhard Engel, Rudolf Stieger, Christian Josef Stephan Zeus
