Keyed lock door handle
View Patent ↗A door handle assembly that can be locked and unlocked using a key. The door handle assembly includes a bolt that is movable from an extended position to a retracted position. The first handle is coupled to the bolt and adapted to cause the bolt to retract when the first handle is pushed. A second handle is coupled to the bolt and adapted to cause the bolt to retract when the second handle is pulled. A key locking mechanism is coupled to the first handle. The key locking mechanism is adapted to selectively prevent the bolt from moving to the retracted position. A safety locking mechanism is coupled to the second handle. The safety locking mechanism is adapted to selectively prevent the bolt from moving to the retracted position.

(A) a first handle and a second handle;
(B) a bolt movable from an extended position to a retracted position, the bolt having a retraction surface and a locking surface;
(C) a first lever mechanism coupled between the first handle and the bolt, the first lever mechanism being adapted to engage the retraction surface;
(D) a second lever mechanism coupled between the second handle and the bolt, the second lever mechanism being adapted engage the retraction surface;
(E) a key locking mechanism coupled to the first handle, the key locking mechanism being adapted to selectively engage and disengage the locking surface;
(F) a safety locking mechanism coupled to the second handle, the safety locking mechanism being adapted to selectively engage and disengage the locking surface; and
(G) wherein the first lever mechanism comprises: a first lever connected to the first handle, a second lever engagable with the retraction surface and a gear assembly connected between the first and second levers.
2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first door handle is depressed to retract the bolt.
3. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second door handle is pulled to retract the bolt.
4. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second lever mechanism comprises: a third lever connected to the second handle, the third lever engagable with the retraction surface.
5. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the key locking mechanism comprises: a tumbler assembly mounted to the first lever mechanism, a shaft coupled to the tumbler assembly and a locking slide coupled to the shaft.
6. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the safety locking mechanism comprises: a button coupled to the second handle and a locking slide coupled to the button.
7. A door handle assembly comprising:
(A) a bolt movable from an extended position to a retracted position;
(B) a first handle coupled to the bolt and adapted to cause the bolt to retract when the first handle is pushed;
(C) a second handle coupled to the bolt and adapted to cause the bolt to retract when the second handle is pulled;
(D) a key locking mechanism coupled to the first handle, the key locking mechanism being adapted to selectively prevent the bolt from moving to the retracted position;
(E) a safety locking mechanism coupled to the second handle, the safety locking mechanism being adapted to selectively prevent the bolt from moving to the retracted position; and
(F) wherein a push lever mechanism connects the first handle and the bolt and wherein the push lever mechanism comprises: a first lever connected to the first handle; a gear assembly connected to the first lever; and a second lever connected to the gear assembly and adapted to engage the bolt.
8. The assembly of claim 7 , wherein a pull lever mechanism connects the second handle and the bolt.
9. The assembly of claim 8 , wherein the pull lever mechanism comprises: a third lever connected to the second handle and adapted to engage the bolt.
10. The assembly of claim 7 , wherein the key locking mechanism comprises: a tumbler assembly mounted to the first lever; a shaft coupled to the tumbler assembly; and a locking slide coupled to the shaft such that the locking slide engages the bolt as the tumbler assembly rotates.
11. The assembly of claim 10 , wherein a lock pin engages the locking slide when the locking slide is engaged with the bolt.
12. The assembly of claim 10 , wherein a lock pin is disengaged from contact with the locking slide when the door handle assembly is unlocked.
13. The assembly of claim 7 , wherein the safety locking mechanism comprises: a button coupled to the second handle; and a locking slide coupled to the button, such that the locking slide engages the bolt as the button is depressed.
14. A door handle assembly comprising:
(A) a bolt movable from an extended position to a retracted position;
(B) a first handle coupled to the bolt and adapted to cause the bolt to retract when the first handle is moved;
(C) a second handle coupled to the bolt and adapted to cause the bolt to retract when the second handle is moved;
(D) means for allowing the first or the second handle to selectively retract the bolt;
(E) a first locking mechanism mounted to the first handle, the first locking mechanism being adapted to keep the bolt in the extended position, the first locking mechanism including a locking slide, the locking slide being adapted to engage the bolt as the first locking mechanism is actuated; and
(F) wherein a lock pin engages the locking slide when the locking slide is engaged with the bolt.
15. The door handle assembly of claim 14 , wherein the first locking mechanism further comprises: a tumbler assembly mounted to the first handle; a shaft coupled to the tumbler assembly; and the locking slide coupled to the shaft.
16. The door handle assembly of claim 14 , wherein the lock pin is disengaged from contact with the locking slide when the door handle assembly is unlocked.
17. The door handle assembly of claim 14 , wherein a second locking mechanism is mounted to the second handle.
