  • Patent number: 6669245
    Abstract: Pushing device for the emerging of the bolt in locks, characterized in that the handle axis (1) has a coaxial lever (8), coupled rotationally, which turns along with it in the conventional direction of opening, being equipped with an independent turning in the opposite direction, or anti-opening turning, whose lever (8) has a peripheral lug (8a) which is applied, in relation to the anti-opening turning, against a fin (9a) of the rocker (9), mounted spring-loaded with a projection (9b) applied against a heel (10a), belonging to a counter-rocker (10), having a front piece (10b) applied against a transverse lug (6b) of the latch plate (6), there being a rotating rod (11) mounted with a free turning coaxially with the rocker (9), having arms, a rocker (11a), and a bolt (11b), rotationally spaced out by an angle preferably less than that needed to simultaneously make contact with the fin (9a) of the rocker (9) in the state of rest and with the back of the bolt (3) in retracted state.

  • Patent number: 5987945
    Abstract: A safety closure for controlled access, that includes an inner and outer unit mounted on a door to drive a main bolt and a privacy bolt. The outer unit has an armored chassis with a primary tube of the actuating handle and carrying a secondary tube having a square axis that drives the main latch. A retractable tenon provides the connection between the primary and secondary tubes and a retractor treadle is in permanent contact with the retractable tenon and a rocker having elastic arms that drives the retractor treadle. A motorize actuator is activated by an electronic card reader. The motorized actuator or an emergency handle may actuate the rocker in opposite directions. The inner tube has first and second pushing tabs symmetrically arranged in mutual opposition whereby the pushing tabs act independently of each other in response to the direct or opposite turning of the inner actuating handle to actuate the privacy bolt. An emergency lock cylinder drives the emergency handle.

  • Patent number: 5944366
    Abstract: An adaptable latch having a bolt case. A bolt case extension is connected to the rear of the bolt case. The bolt case extension can be locked in position with the bolt case to place the latch in a short-length position or a long-length position. A bolt head is disposed in the bolt case. A bolt tail is connected to the rear of the bolt case. The bolt tail can be locked in position with the bolt head to place the latch in the short-length position or the long-length position. A spring-loaded lug allows for simultaneous unlocking of the bolt tail from the bolt head and the case extension from the bolt case. The bolt tail and case extension, when unlocked from a previous locked position, can be placed in another locked position to lock the latch in either the desired long-length position or the short-length position. The bolt tail is locked into position with the bolt head by way of a bolt tail appendage extending into a bolt head hollow.
