Motor assembly for cylindrical lockset

A motor-mount apparatus comprising

• a motor-actuated cylindrical lockset having a rotatable handle sleeve and a motor, and
• a motor housing being formed for positioning within the handle sleeve, the motor housing having an inner end, an opposite outer end, means for preventing movement of the outer end relative to the handle sleeve, and a cylindrical side wall extending between the inner and outer ends, the cylindrical side wall including an inner surface defining a cavity sized for insertion of the motor therein.

A motor-mount apparatus for use with a motor actuated cylindrical lockset having a rotatable handle sleeve and a motor having a wire harness extending therefrom, the apparatus comprising

• a motor housing being adapted for positioning within the handle sleeve, the motor housing having an inner end, an opposite outer end, and a generally cylindrical side wall extending between the inner and outer ends, the cylindrical side wall including an inner surface defining a cavity and a notch formed at the outer end of the motor housing, the notch being defined by a bottom edge and opposite side edges, and
• a plate adapted to be coupled to the lockset in a generally stationary position, the plate being positioned to lie adjacent the outer end of the motor housing to cover the cavity and including a support having an aperture therethrough, the support engaging the bottom edge of the notch and the aperture receiving the opposite side edges to block sliding axial movement of the motor housing through the aperture.

• a motor housing adapted to lie within the rotatable handle sleeve,
• a plate having a support formed to include an inner surface, an opposite outer surface, an aperture extending therethrough, and a locking tab extending into the aperture, the locking tab being positioned to lie in generally the same plane as the support and being selectively coupled to the motor housing, and
• a wire-protection cap coupled to the plate, and adapted to retain the wire harness on the outer surface of the support.
