Abstract
An anti-panic bar comprises a fixed part (3) with a lock controlling element (5), and a support bar (4) mounted to pivot on the fixed part (3) about a longitudinal axis. In an inactive position, the support bar (4) takes up a position spaced apart from the fixed part (3), and in an active position, the support bar (4) takes up a position closer to the fixed part (3) and also activates the lock controlling element (5). The support bar (4) is an extruded profile binged about the longitudinal axis through a pivot point (40).
Claims28
A panic bar assembly configured to be fixed to a door, comprising:
- a fixed part configured to be affixed to the door;
- a bolt operating member;
- a bolt on which said bolt operating member acts;
- and
- a crash bar comprising a member made of a one-piece longitudinally extending profiled section having a length in a longitudinal length direction and a width that is shorter than said length, and having a first elongated edge portion and a second elongated edge portion that are spaced from each other in said width direction and that both extend along said length direction,
- said member of longitudinally extending profiled section mounted on said fixed part to pivot about a longitudinal axis extending along said length direction and located at the first elongated edge portion between an idle angular configuration where the second elongated edge portion is remote from the door and a working angular configuration where the second elongated edge portion is close to the door, said crash bar being configured to activate said bolt operating member in said working configuration,
- wherein said fixed part includes an abutment configured to cooperate with a stop portion carried by said crash bar to delimit a range of pivot movement of said member of longitudinally extending profiled section, the stop portion being located at said second elongated edge portion, and
- wherein said member of longitudinally extending profiled section comprises a maneuvering portion between the longitudinal axis and said stop portion.
A door comprising a bolt and a panic bar assembly configured to be fixed on the door, the panic bar comprising:
- a fixed part configured to be affixed to the door;
- a bolt operating member;
- a bolt on which said bolt operating member acts;
- and
- a crash bar comprising an extruded profile made of a one-piece longitudinally extending profiled section, having a length in a longitudinal length direction and a width that is shorter than said length, and having a first elongated edge portion and a second elongated edge portion that are spaced from each other in said width direction,
- the first elongated edge portion of said member of longitudinally extending profiled section being pivotably mounted on said fixed part to pivot about a longitudinal axis that extends in the length direction and that is located at the first elongated edge portion, such that said member of longitudinally extending profiled section is rotatable between an idle angular configuration where the second elongated edge portion is remote from the door and a working angular configuration where the second elongated edge portion is close to the door,
- said crash bar being configured, upon an operational application of pressure thereon for moving the crash bar from said idle configuration to said working configuration, to activate said bolt operating member, and further configured so that the crash bar returns to the idle configuration from the working configuration upon a release of said pressure,
- said fixed part including one abutment configured to cooperate with one stop portion carried by said crash bar to delimit a range of pivot movement of said extruded profile about said longitudinal axis, the stop portion being located at said second elongated edge portion, and
- said one-piece longitudinally extending profiled section comprising a maneuvering portion between the longitudinal axis and said stop portion.
A panic bar assembly configured to be fixed to a door, comprising:
- a fixed part configured to be affixed to the door, the fixed part having a first side and an opposite second side;
- a bolt operating member;
- a bolt on which said bolt operating member acts;
- and
- a crash bar comprising a member made of a one-piece longitudinally extending profiled section with a first elongated edge portion and an opposite second elongated edge portion,
- the first elongated edge portion of said member of longitudinally extending profiled section being pivotably mounted on the first side of said fixed part to pivot about a longitudinal axis that is located at the first elongated edge portion and extends along the first side of said fixed part , such that said member of longitudinally extending profiled section is rotatable between an idle angular configuration where the second elongated edge portion is remote from the door and a working angular configuration where the second elongated edge portion is close to the door, said crash bar being configured to activate said bolt operating member in said working configuration,
- wherein the second side of said fixed part includes an abutment configured to cooperate with a stop portion carried by said crash bar to delimit a range of pivot movement of said member of longitudinally extending profiled section about said longitudinal axis, the stop portion being located at said second elongated edge portion, and
- wherein said member of longitudinally extending profiled section comprises a maneuvering portion between the longitudinal axis and said stop portion.
