Abstract
A lock device includes a casing formed in a housing for rotatably receiving a rotary member which has an actuating finger and which is coupled to a handle with a driving shank, and a spring biasing device attached to the housing and engaged with the actuating finger of the rotary member for biasing the handle back to an original position and for biasing the actuating finger of the rotary member back to an original position when the handle is released, the spring biasing device is locked to the housing with a fastener to disengage the follower from the actuating finger of the rotary member when a spring biasing member is engaged between the handle and the housing to bias the handle back to an original position.
Claims4
A lock device comprising:
- a housing including a chamber formed therein, and including a casing provided in said chamber of said housing, and including a compartment formed in said casing, said casing including a channel formed in said casing and communicative with said compartment of said casing,
- a rotary member rotatably received in said compartment of said casing, and including an actuating finger extended outwardly therefrom and slidably received in said channel of said casing for limiting said rotary member to rotate relative to said casing and said housing, and including an engaging hole formed in said rotary member,
- a driving shank engaged with said engaging hole of said rotary member for rotating said rotary member relative to said casing and said housing,
- a handle attached to said driving shank for actuating and operating said driving shank to rotate said actuating finger of said rotary member relative to said casing and said housing,
- a follower rotatably attached to said housing with a pivot axle and including a first end for engaging with said actuating finger of said rotary member and for allowing said follower to be rotated relative to said housing with said actuating finger of said rotary member, and having a second end extended outwardly therefrom,
- a sliding member slidably attached to said housing, and including an opening formed in said sliding member for engaging with said second end of said follower and for allowing said sliding member to be moved relative to said housing by said follower, and
- a first spring biasing member engaged with said sliding member for biasing said sliding member to rotate said follower relative to lock housing, and to rotate said handle and said rotary member relative to said casing and said housing, and for biasing said handle back to an original position and for biasing said actuating finger of said rotary member back to an original position when said handle is released.
