Publication number: 20240076907Abstract: A center slide assembly for a multi-point exit device. Upper and lower spool assemblies may be displaced from first positions to second positions along an inner region of a center slide. The displacement of the spool assemblies may displace upper and lower pull cables so as to retract latch mechanisms from extended positions to retracted positions. A first latching pin may be displaced, along with the displacement of the upper spool assembly, along an abutment surface of a tilting link so as to pivotally displace the tilting link from an unlocked position to a locked position. Displacement of the lower spool assembly may displace a second latching pin to a position wherein the second latching pin may be received and retained within a jog of the tilting link when the tilting link is in the locked position, which may thereby retain the associated latch mechanism in the retracted position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Sushanth Anand Rao Kondi, Mohammed Maksood Ali, Kemparaju Putaswamy, Michael D.

Patent number: 11359422Abstract: Latch mechanisms adapted to prevent unauthorized displacement of a latch bolt from an extended, locked position to a retracted, unlocked position. The latch mechanisms prevent the failure of a latch bolt of one latch mechanism to return to an extended lock position from interfering with the ability of a latch bolt of an inter-related latch mechanism from being able to return to an extended, locked position. Further embodiments provide a mounting bracket mounted to a door to allow the associated latch mechanism to be indirectly secured to the door. Additionally, the mounting bracket may have a plurality of mounting orifices that allow the mounting bracket to be used with a wide range of latch mechanisms, as well as provide adjustable attachment of the latch mechanism to the mounting bracket.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2019Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Paul R. Arlinghaus, Mohammed Maksood Ali, Jonah M. Pattar, Kemparaju Putaswamy, Sushanth Anand Rao Kondi, Matthew S. Graham, Subashchandra Rai, Keshav Tantri

Patent number: 10858861Abstract: A latch mechanism having an adjustment mechanism that adjusts the distance to which a latch bolt extends into a mating recess. The adjustment mechanism may include a driver component and a driven component. Rotation of the driver component about a first axis may displace the driven component, thereby causing the position of the latch bolt to be adjusted along a second axis that is non-parallel to the first axis. According to certain embodiments, the first axis is perpendicular to the second axis. The latch mechanism may also include an inner housing that is displaced as the latch bolt is extended into, and retracted from, a mating recess in an adjacent structure. Further, the position of the inner housing may remain generally static as the position of the latch bolt is adjusted along the second axis via operation of the adjustment mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Sushanth Anand Rao Kondi, Mohammed Maksood Ali

Patent number: 9752359Abstract: An exemplary locking system includes an outer actuator, an outer spindle coupled to the outer actuator, a center spindle coupled to a latch assembly, and a lock control assembly selectively coupling the outer spindle and the center spindle. The lock control assembly is operable in a locked state wherein rotation of the manual actuator is prevented, and an unlocked state wherein the manual actuator is operable to rotate the center spindle. The lock control assembly is configured to transition from the locked state to the unlocked state in response to rotation of the center spindle, for example by an inner actuator.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2015Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Mohammed Maksood Ali, Rohith Badhya, Sajil John Mathachan
