Patent number: 11920389Abstract: A latch bolt with a bolt head that is removably mounted on a latch tail through the use of a reversibility assembly, such as bolt head adjustment mechanism, or the like. The reversibility assembly may comprise one or more locking members (e.g., within the bolt head, the latch tail, tail plate, and/or independent from the other components of the latch bolt) that allow the bolt head and/or the latch tail to be removed, rotated, and reassembled without opening the case of the mortise lock. The bolt head may comprise an anti-friction latch that is configured to pivot within the flanges of the bolt head in a way that maintains contact between the anti-friction lock and the strike plate.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: ASSA ABLOY ACCESS AND EGRESS HARDWARE GROUP, INC.Inventor: Daniel W. Riley

Patent number: 11851913Abstract: A hook bolt for a latch assembly includes a hook that deploys laterally from a deadbolt when the deadbolt is moved to an extended position. When the deadbolt is actuated, the hook automatically deploys perpendicular to the deadbolt movement to an engaged position within a corresponding opening in a door jamb to secure the door.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2018Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Sargent Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Eric Palmieri, Andrew S. Geraci, Richard D. Sangster, Jr., Victor Bogdanov, Daniel W. Riley, Ryan Piantek

The bolt head adjustment mechanism may comprise one or more locking members (e.g., within the bolt head, the latch tail, and/or independent from the other components of the latch bolt) that allow the bolt head to be removed, rotated, and reassembled while the latch bolt is located within the case of the mortise lock. The bolt head may comprise an anti-friction latch that is configured to pivot within the flanges of the bolt head in a way that maintains contact between the anti-friction lock and the strike plate.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2019Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: ASSA ABLOY ACCESS AND EGRESS HARDWARE GROUP, INC.Inventor: Daniel W.

Patent number: 11585116Abstract: An anti-ligature lock having a locking mechanism for retracting a latch between a locked and an unlocked position. The anti-ligature lock includes a lock handle rotatable about the axis and operatively connected to a lock mechanism hub to rotate the hub and retract the latch between the locked and the unlocked positions. The anti-ligature lock includes a connector between the hub and the lock handle and rotatable about the axis, the connector having a female portion having an opening with walls elongated in a direction normal to the axis and a male portion having projections extending in opposite directions normal to the axis, the male portion extending within the female portion opening and having a neutral position wherein one of the male or female portion may be partially rotated in either direction about the axis with respect to the other of the male or female portion without the male portion projections contacting the female portion opening walls.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2019Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: SARGENT MANUFACTURING COMPANYInventors: Daniel W. Riley, Richard D. Sangster, Jr.

Publication number: 20210404210Abstract: A germicidal door handle or other surface touched by a user may include one or more light sources configured to emit light at a wavelength effective to act as a germicidal. In some instances, the door handle/surface may interact with a controller configured to selectively activate the one or more light sources. The controller may be configured to perform the following steps: (1) activating the one or more light sources, (2) deactivating the one or more light sources upon an occurrence of a first predetermined condition, and (3) reactivating the one or more light sources upon an occurrence of a second predetermined condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2021Publication date: December 30, 2021Applicant: ASSA ABLOY Access and Egress Hardware Group, Inc.Inventor: Daniel W.

Publication number: 20200112009Abstract: Electrochemical cell enclosures and related methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, gas vented from one or more electrochemical cells flows through a flame arrestor, and in some instances a filter, to reduce a temperature of the vented gas to a desired temperature prior to the gas exiting the enclosure through an associated outlet. In certain embodiments, this reduced temperature may be less than an auto-ignition temperature of the gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2019Publication date: April 9, 2020Applicant: Sargent Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Daniel W.
