Electronic lock

摘要

A mortise lockset apparatus ( 10 ) that includes a retractable bolt ( 20 ) movably supported within a case ( 12 ). A handle ( 18 ) is pivotally supported on a hub ( 16 ) supported in the case, the hub being operably connected to the retractable bolt. The bolt is retracted by turning the door handle. A lock-out mechanism ( 22 ) is configured to prevent the handle from being turned when the lock-out mechanism is in an engaged position. The handle lock-out mechanism also includes a cam ( 29 ) movably supported in the case and operably connected to a motor ( 30 ). A sliding stop ( 34 ) is movably supported in the case and is engageable with the handle hub to prevent the handle hub and the handle from turning. The sliding stop is also engageable with a cam surface ( 40 ) of the cam. The motor is configured to move the sliding stop by rotating the cam. The cam rotational axis ( 42 ) is disposed between diametrically opposed portions of the cam surface to minimize space requirements for the assembly.
