Deadbolt lock mechanism

A lock mechanism for a door, comprising:

• (a) a lock housing;
• (b) lock cylinder means secured to said housing, said lock cylinder means having movable locking tab means connected thereto;
• (c) a disk rotationally movable in response to movement of said locking tab means;
• (d) a lever pivotally movable in response to rotational movement of said disk;
• (e) a lock bolt slidably movable into an extended or retracted position relative to said housing in response to pivotal movement of said lever;
• and
• (f) at least one transverse abutment carried by said disk and extending therefrom, said at least one transverse abutment comprising means for rotating said disk in response to movement of said locking tab means;
• (g) wherein said lever has an opening therein cooperating with said at least one transverse abutment, said opening and said at least one transverse abutment comprising means for pivoting said lever in response to rotational movement of said disk.

A lock mechanism for a door, comprising:

• (a) a lock housing;
• (b) lock cylinder means connected to said housing and having movable locking tab means connected thereto;
• (c) a rotatable member disposed within said housing for rotational movement in response to movement of said locking tab means;
• (d) a lever pivotally movable in response to rotational movement of said member;
• (e) a lock bolt selectively movable between extended and retracted position relative to said housing;
• and
• (f) at least one transverse abutment carried by said member and extending therefrom, said at least one transverse abutment comprising means for rotating said member in response to movement of said locking tab means;
• (g) wherein said lever has an opening therein in cooperative engagement with said at least one transverse abutment, said opening and said at least one transverse abutment comprising means for pivoting said lever in response to rotational movement of said member.
