Embellishment attachment for a door lock

A rose assembly for a door lock having a housing configured to engage the rose, the rose assembly comprising:

• a rose;
• and
• a plate positioned in the rose and securely affixed to the rose, wherein the plate includes a tab configured to engage the housing at a first location and a resilient member configured to engage the housing at a second location, wherein relative lateral movement of the plate with the housing aligns the rose assembly with the housing and closing movement of the plate with the housing deflects the resilient member to a position with respect to the housing to resiliently secure the rose to the housing;
• wherein the plate further includes a ring-shaped annular portion having an inner perimeter and an outer perimeter, and wherein the tab and the resilient member extend radially outward from the outer perimeter of the annular portion.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a housing having an outer perimeter, the outer perimeter including a plurality of recesses;
• a spindle rotatably mounted to the housing;
• and
• a cover plate assembly comprising:
• a cover plate including an opening, a positioning surface, a plurality of bosses, and a rim, wherein the spindle extends through the opening, wherein the positioning surface surrounds the opening, wherein the bosses extend from the positioning surface, and wherein the rim surrounds the outer perimeter of the housing;
• and
• a spring plate located inside the cover plate and secured to the cover plate, the spring plate including a ring-shaped annular portion having an inner perimeter and an outer perimeter, and a plurality of arms extending from the outer perimeter of the annular portion, wherein the annular portion is engaged with the positioning surface and surrounds the opening in the cover plate, wherein the annular portion includes a plurality of apertures through which the plurality of bosses extend, and wherein each of the arms extends from the outer perimeter of the annular portion and is engaged with a corresponding one of the recesses in the outer perimeter of the housing;
• wherein the cover plate assembly is releasably attached to the housing as a result of the engagement between the arms and the recesses.

A door lock, comprising:

• a lock chassis including a housing having a locating feature and a plurality of retaining features;
• and
• a rose assembly releasably coupled to the housing, the rose assembly including a rose and a plate positioned within the rose and secured to the rose, wherein the plate includes a tab and a plurality of resilient members, wherein the tab is engaged with the locating feature, and wherein each of the resilient members is engaged with a corresponding one of the plurality of retaining features;
• wherein the rose further comprises a boss extending through an aperture in the plate;
• and
• wherein the boss is deformed to form a riveted connection permanently securing the plate to the rose.

A door lock, comprising:

• a lock chassis including a housing;
• and
• a rose assembly releasably coupled to the housing, the rose assembly including a rose and a plate positioned within the rose and secured to the rose, wherein the plate includes a tab and a plurality of resilient members, wherein the tab is engaged in contacting abutment with the lock chassis, and wherein each of the resilient members is engaged in contacting abutment with the housing of the lock chassis;
• and
• wherein relative lateral movement of the plate with the housing aligns the rose assembly with the housing and closing movement of the plate with the housing deflects the resilient member to a position with respect to the housing to resiliently secure the rose to the housing.
