Electronic locking device
Embodiments disclosed herein relate to electronic locking devices. The locking device may include a housing and an escutcheon attached to the housing. The escutcheon has a body defining an outer perimeter and a light ring disposed around the outer perimeter of the body. The light ring is configured to emit a changeable pattern of light in response to a status event to indicate the status of the electronic locking device. The light ring may be viewable from a front view and a side view. The locking device may be part of a lock set that includes a second locking device. The second locking device has a light pad that may be configured to emit complementary light patterns in response to the status event. The second or interior locking device may have a mode setting button. A controller is configured to receive a mode change from the mode setting button and configured to cause the light ring to illuminate a corresponding mode indication based on the mode change.
1 . An electronic locking device configured to be mounted to a surface, the electronic locking device comprising:
a housing; and
an escutcheon attached to the housing, the escutcheon having a body, wherein the body includes a front face opposite a mounting surface of the electronic locking device and at least one sidewall, wherein the mounting surface is configured to contact the surface when the electronic locking device is mounted to the surface, wherein a light ring extends from a perimeter of the front face to an adjacent perimeter of the at least one sidewall, the light ring configured to emit a changeable pattern of light in response to a status event to indicate a status of the electronic locking device, wherein the light ring is viewable from a front view and a side profile view perpendicular to the front view,
wherein the light ring forms at least a partial surface of the front face and at least a partial surface of the at least one sidewall, and
the light ring is flush with the front face and the at least one sidewall.
2 . The electronic locking device of claim 1 , further comprising a handle positioned on the housing.
3 . The electronic locking device of claim 1 , further comprising a mechanical key override comprising a key cylinder, wherein the electronic locking device is configured to cancel the status upon actuation of the mechanical key override.
4 . The electronic locking device of claim 1 , wherein the light ring comprises at least two light sections configured to emit light independently from each other.
5 . The electronic locking device of claim 4 , wherein each light section is configured to emit at least two colors of light.
6 . The electronic locking device of claim 1 , further comprising a sound device configured to emit a sound in response to the status event.
7 . An electronic lock set comprising:
an exterior locking device configured to be mounted to an exterior surface of an entrance, the exterior locking device comprising:
an exterior housing;
an exterior escutcheon attached to the exterior housing, the exterior escutcheon having a body, wherein the body includes a front face opposite a mounting surface of the exterior locking device and at least one sidewall, wherein the mounting surface is configured to contact the exterior surface when the exterior locking device is mounted to the exterior surface; and
a light ring that extends from a perimeter of the front face to an adjacent perimeter of the at least one sidewall;
an interior locking device having an interior housing, an interior escutcheon attached to the interior housing, and a mode setting button, the interior locking device configured to be mounted to an interior surface of the entrance; and
a controller cooperating with the exterior and interior locking devices, the controller configured to receive a mode change from the mode setting button and configured to cause the light ring to illuminate a corresponding mode indication based on the mode change.
8 . The electronic lock set of claim 7 , wherein the controller is configured to receive a privacy mode setting and wherein the controller is configured to cause the light ring to illuminate a privacy mode indication when an authorized electronic credential is presented to the exterior locking device.
9 . The electronic lock set of claim 8 , wherein the exterior locking device further comprising a mechanical key override comprising a key cylinder, wherein the exterior locking device is configured to cancel the privacy mode setting upon actuation of the mechanical key override.
10 . The electronic lock set of claim 7 , wherein the interior locking device further comprises a light pad disposed on the interior escutcheon, wherein the controller is configured to cause the light pad to illuminate a corresponding mode indication based on the mode change.
11 . The electronic lock set of claim 10 , wherein the light pad comprises the mode setting button.
12 . The electronic lock set of claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to cause the light ring to illuminate an unauthorized credential indication when an unauthorized electronic credential is presented to the exterior locking device, wherein the unauthorized credential indication is different from the privacy mode indication.
13 . The electronic lock set of claim 7 , wherein illuminating a corresponding mode indication based on the mode change comprises emitting a color and/or pattern of light from the light ring associated with a selected mode.
14 . The electronic lock set of claim 7 , wherein the light ring comprises a rounded rectangular shape.
