Abstract
A bolt assembly for securing a passive door panel relative to an entryway frame. The bolt assembly has a base to be fixedly mounted relative to the passive door panel, a catch attached to the base with a leaf spring to deflect relative to the base, and a bolt which is able to translate relative to the base between a retracted position and an extended position for securing the passive door panel. The bolt is biased toward the extended position and selectively maintained in the retracted position by the catch.
Claims18
A bolt assembly configured to secure to a passive door, the bolt assembly comprising:
- a bolt configured to translate relative to the passive door between a first state and a second state such that when the bolt is in the first state the passive door is capable of moving from a closed position thereof and when the bolt is in the second state the passive door is prevented from moving from the closed position, the bolt biased toward the second state;
- and a catch having a first position and a second position, the catch configured to retain the bolt in the first state when in the first position and to disengage from the bolt when in the second position such that the bolt translates to the second state, the catch biased toward the first position such that when the bolt is in the second state the catch is in the first position and disengaged from the bolt, wherein the catch comprises a keeper having a tapered edge, the tapered edge configured such that, as the bolt is translated from the second state to the first state, the bolt contacts the tapered edge to deflect the catch toward the second position.
A bolt assembly configured to secure to a passive door, the bolt assembly comprising:
- a bolt configured to translate relative to the passive door between a first state and a second state such that when the bolt is in the first state the passive door is capable of moving from a closed position thereof and when the bolt is in the second state the passive door is prevented from moving from the closed position, the bolt biased toward the second state;
- and a catch having a first position and a second position, the catch configured to retain the bolt in the first state when in the first position and to disengage from the bolt when in the second position such that the bolt translates to the second state, the catch biased toward the first position such that when the bolt is in the second state the catch is in the first position and disengaged from the bolt, and comprising a pull configured to pivot relative to the passive door between a closed position in which the pull is substantially recessed within the bolt assembly and an open position in which the pull extends outwardly from the passive door, the pull operably coupled to the bolt such that pivoting the pull from the closed position to the open position allows for translation of the bolt from the second state to the first state.
A bolt assembly configured to secure to a passive door, the bolt assembly comprising:
- a bolt configured to translate relative to the passive door between a first state and a second state such that when the bolt is in the first state the passive door is capable of moving from a closed position thereof and when the bolt is in the second state the passive door is prevented from moving from the closed position, the bolt biased toward the second state;
- and a catch having a first position and a second position, the catch configured to retain the bolt in the first state when in the first position and to disengage from the bolt when in the second position such that the bolt translates to the second state, the catch biased toward the first position such that when the bolt is in the second state the catch is in the first position and disengaged from the bolt, and comprising a lock block configured to translate relative to the bolt, the lock block having an extended position in which the lock block is configured to engage a sill of a doorframe and a retracted position in which the lock block is incapable of engaging the sill.
A bolt assembly configured to secure to a passive door, the bolt assembly comprising:
- a bolt configured to translate relative to the passive door between a first state and a second state such that when the bolt is in the first state the passive door is capable of moving from a closed position thereof and when the bolt is in the second state the passive door is prevented from moving from the closed position, the bolt biased toward the second state;
- and a catch having a first position and a second position, the catch configured to retain the bolt in the first state when in the first position and to disengage from the bolt when in the second position such that the bolt translates to the second state, the catch biased toward the first position such that when the bolt is in the second state the catch is in the first position and disengaged from the bolt, and, comprising a pin attached to the bolt for translational motion therewith, the pin configured to engage a doorframe when the bolt is in the second state.
A bolt assembly configured to secure to a passive door, the bolt assembly comprising:
- a bolt configured to translate relative to the passive door between a first state and a second state such that when the bolt is in the first state the passive door is capable of moving from a closed position thereof and when the bolt is in the second state the passive door is prevented from moving from the closed position, the bolt biased toward the second state;
- and a pull configured to pivot relative to the passive door between a closed position in which the pull is substantially recessed within the bolt assembly and an open position in which the pull extends outwardly from the passive door, the pull operably coupled to the bolt such that pivoting the pull from the closed position to the open position allows for translation of the bolt from the second state to the first state, comprising a first spring configured to bias the bolt toward the second state.
A bolt assembly configured to secure to a passive door, the bolt assembly comprising:
- a bolt configured to translate relative to the passive door between a first state and a second state such that when the bolt is in the first state the passive door is capable of moving from a closed position thereof and when the bolt is in the second state the passive door is prevented from moving from the closed position, the bolt biased toward the second state;
- and a pull configured to pivot relative to the passive door between a closed position in which the pull is substantially recessed within the bolt assembly and an open position in which the pull extends outwardly from the passive door, the pull operably coupled to the bolt such that pivoting the pull from the closed position to the open position allows for translation of the bolt from the second state to the first state, and comprising a catch having a first position and a second position, the catch configured to retain the bolt in the first state when in the first position and to disengage from the bolt when in the second position such that the bolt translates to the second position, the catch biased toward the first position such that when the bolt is in the second state the catch is in the first position and disengaged from the bolt.
A bolt assembly configured to secure to a passive door, the bolt assembly comprising:
- a bolt configured to translate relative to the passive door between a first state and a second state such that when the bolt is in the first state the passive door is capable of moving from a closed position thereof and when the bolt is in the second state the passive door is prevented from moving from the closed position, the bolt biased toward the second state;
- and a pull configured to pivot relative to the passive door between a closed position in which the pull is substantially recessed within the bolt assembly and an open position in which the pull extends outwardly from the passive door, the pull operably coupled to the bolt such that pivoting the pull from the closed position to the open position allows for translation of the bolt from the second state to the first state, and comprising a lock block configured to translate relative to the bolt, the lock block having an extended position in which the lock block is configured to engage a threshold of a door frame and a retracted position in which the lock block is incapable of engaging the threshold.
