Abstract

An adjustable button mechanism for a lock includes: a driving tube of a hollow tubular shape, having a first end and a second end, the first end connecting to a driving mechanism of the lock, the second end forming a positioning slot; a connecting member having a first end forming an axial hole and a second end; a protruding member formed at the first end of the connecting member and radially extending into the positioning slot of the driving tube; a button lever placed within the driving tube, and having a first end and a second end, the first end connecting to the driving mechanism, the second end being inserted into the axial hole of the connecting member; and a button placed on the second end of the connecting member, and either the connecting member or the button having an elastically supported lateral member, with the other containing a plurality of holes for selectively receiving the lateral member.

Claims (19)

1. An adjustable button mechanism for a lock, comprising:

a driving tube of a hollow tubular shape, having a first end and a second end, said first end connecting to a driving mechanism of said lock, and said second end forming a positioning slot;

a connecting member having a first end and a second end, said first end forming an axial hole, and said second end forming a lateral hole;

a protruding member formed at said first end of said connecting member and radially extending into said positioning slot of said driving tube;

a button lever placed within said driving tube, and having a first end and a second end, said first end connecting to said driving mechanism of said lock, and said second end being inserted into said axial hole of said connecting member;

an elastically supported lateral member supported by an elastic member and received with in said lateral hole of said connecting member;

a button placed on said second end of said connecting member, said button laterally formed with a plurality of holes for selectively receiving said lateral member; and

a groove is formed for communication between two adjacent holes of said button.

2. The adjustable button mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said lateral member is a pin.

3. The adjustable button mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said button lever and said connecting member respectively have an engaging portion for reciprocal contact thereof.

4. An adjustable button mechanism for a lock, comprising:

a driving tube of a hollow tubular shape, having a first end and a second end, said first end connecting to a driving mechanism of said lock, and said second end forming a positioning slot;

a connecting member having a first end and a second end, said first end forming an axial hole, and said second end forming a lateral hole;

a protruding member formed at said first end of said connecting member and radially extending into said positioning slot of said driving tube;

a button lever placed within said driving tube, and having a first end and a second end, said first end connecting to said driving mechanism of said lock, and said second end being inserted into said axial hole of said connecting member;

said button lever further has a protruding member and said connecting member further has a lateral slot for engaging with said protruding member of said button lever;

an elastically supported lateral member supported by said an elastic member and received with in said lateral hole of said connecting member; and

a button placed on said second end of said connecting member, said button laterally formed with a plurality of holes for selectively receiving said lateral member.

5. The adjustable button mechanism as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said positioning slot is formed by orthogonally interconnecting an axial slot to a horizontal slot.
