Manipulator for an access member, access member comprising the manipulator, system and method

Abstract

Manipulator (16) for controlling a locking function and a manoeuvring function of an access member (14) rotatably coupled to a frame (12), the manipulator (16) comprising an actuator (26) configured to provide a substantially linear first actuating movement in a first direction (48) and a substantially linear second actuating movement in a second direction (50), opposite to the first direction (48); a latch bolt (24) functionally coupled to the actuator (26), the latch bolt (24) arranged to move to an unlocking position in response to movement of the actuator (26) in the first direction (48) and arranged to move to a locking position in response to movement of the actuator (26) in the second direction (50); and a transmission mechanism (28) functionally coupled to the actuator (26), the transmission mechanism (28) configured to transmit the first actuating movement in the first direction (48) provided by the actuator (26) to an opening movement of the access member (14). An access member (14), a system (10) and a method are also provided.
