Dogging indicator for door exit device

A dogging mechanism for an exit device, comprising:

• a dogging indicator configured to pivot about a pivot axis over a travel path between a first position and a second position, wherein the travel path comprises a midpoint between the first position and the second position;
• a dogging actuator, wherein the dogging actuator is configured to move between a dogged state and an undogged state;
• a linkage coupled to the dogging indicator and the dogging actuator, wherein the linkage is configured to pivot the dogging indicator to the first position when the dogging actuator is moved into the undogged state, and wherein the linkage is configured to pivot the dogging indicator to the second position when the dogging actuator is moved into the dogged state;
• and
• a spring coupled to the dogging indicator, wherein the spring is configured to bias the dogging indicator towards the first position when the dogging indicator is positioned on the travel path between the midpoint and the first position, and wherein the spring is configured to bias the dogging indicator towards the second position when the dogging indicator is positioned on the travel path between the midpoint and the second position.
