Further, "connected" and "coupled" are not restricted to physical or mechanical connections or couplings.
[0027] The deadbolt lock assembly 10 comprises (see Fig. 1) a conventional deadbolt assembly 14 mounted in a door 18 in the usual manner. The deadbolt assembly 14 includes a deadbolt 22 extendable and retractable through an opening in a face plate 26.
The assembly also includes a frame 30 having therein an opening 34. A linkage 38 inside the frame is operably connected to the deadbolt 22. Movement of the linkage 38 is controlled by a driver bar 42 (described below) that extends through the opening 34 such that pivotal movement or rotation of the driver bar 42 about its longitudinal axis 46 in one direction extends the deadbolt 22 and movement of the driver bar 42 in the other direction retracts the deadbolt 22. The foregoing arrangement is well known in the art.
Any other type of deadbolt assembly operable by a driver bar as described above can be used.
[0028] The deadbolt lock assembly 10 also comprises (see Figs. 1 and 2) an inside escutcheon assembly 50. The inside escutcheon assembly 50 includes a base plate 54 mounted on the inside of the door over a hole 58 through the door. A switch 62 is mounted on the base plate 54, and a cover 66 is secured to the base plate over the switch 5 62. The switch 62 is connected to a printed circuit board or controller 70 that is described below. A battery (not shown) mounted on the base plate 54 is also connected to the circuit board. A cam 74 extends through an opening in the base plate and is retained by a retaining ring 78. The cam 74 is pivotally movable between a lock-open position in which the cam 74 closes the switch 62 and a lock-closed position in which the cam 74 allows the switch to be open. The cam 74 is mounted on the driver bar 42 such that the cam 74 is in the lock-open position when the deadbolt is retracted and is in the lock-closed position when the deadbolt is extended. The inside escutcheon assembly 50 also includes an inside escutcheon 82 mounted on the base plate 54. Alternative escutcheons 82a and 82b are shown in Fig. 2. The escutcheon 82 is secured to the base plate 54 by screws 84 in the usual manner. The escutcheon 82 has pivotally mounted thereon a conventional thumbturn or tumpiece 86 that is operably connected to the driver bar as is known.
[0029] The deadbolt lock assembly 10 also comprises (see Figs. 1 and 3) an outside escutcheon assembly 100. The outside escutcheon assembly includes a base Olate mounted on the outside of the door over the hole 58. The outside base plate 104 is secured to the inside base plate 54 by screws 108 as is known in the art. This secures both base plates to the door. A motor assembly 112 is mounted on the base plate 104. The motor assembly 112 includes an electric motor 116 connected to the circuit board 70 such that the circuit board controls operation of the motor as described below. An output shaft extends downward from the motor and is drivingly connected to a coil spring 120 such that the spring rotates with the shaft. A holder 124 is fixed to the base plate 104 and retains the motor 116 in position. The printed circuit board 70 is mounted on the holder 124, and a keypad 128 is mounted on the holder 124 over the circuit board 70 such that the circuit board receives input from the keypad. The keypad 128 and the circuit board 70 are parts of a credential reading device. In this case the.credential is a code that is entered on=the keypad. In other embodiments of the invention, a credential can be any valid "code" or valid data, which could include one or more data elements. The data can be any suitable type of information, including biometric information, or digital information on swipe cards, ibuttons, etc.
[0030] A clutching cam 132 is mounted on the base plate 104 for pivotal movement about the longitudinal axis 46 of the driver bar 42. The outer end of the cam 132 (the left end in Fig. 3) has therein perpendicular slots 134 forming a cross shape. The inner end of =
the cam 132 is drivingly connected to the driver bar 42, such that the driver bar 42 and the cam 132 pivot together about the axis 46 with the inside cam 74 and with the inside turnpiece 86. A pin 136 is movably supported by the cam 132 for movement along a line generally perpendicular to the axis 46 and between inner and outer or engaged and disengaged positions. The pin 136 is biased toward its disengaged position by a spring 140. The outer end of the pin 136 is rounded to form a camming surface.
[0031] A retaining wall 144 is movably mounted on the base plate 104 below the holder 124. The wall 144 is operably connected to the coil spring 120 such that the wall is movable by the motor 116 between upper and lower or engaged and disengaged positions.
Specifically, the wall 144 and the spring 120 are interconnected, as is known in the art, such that rotation of the spring 120 causes vertical movement of the wall in either direction depending on the direction of rotation of the spring. More particularly, the wall 144 has =
extending therefrom a pin (not shown) that extends into the coil of the spring 120 such that rotation of the spring 120 acts on the pin in a screw-like manner to move the pin and thereby the wall 144.up or down depending on the direction of rotation of the string. Such an arrangement is disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,640,863 and 6,286,347.
The wall 144 has an upper extension that extends -above the cam 132 and that has a generally horizontal upper surface 148. The wall 144 also has a lower extension below the cam 132. The lower extension has an upwardly facing, arcuate camming surface 152 defining a portion of a circle. The camming surface 152 engages the outer end of the pin 136. When the wall 144 is in its upper position, the camming surface 152 is centered on the axis 46. As the wall 144 moves to its upper position, the camming surface 152 moves the pin 136 to its engaged position.
The circular configuration of the surface 152 allows the cam 132 and the pin 136 to pivot about the axis while the pin 136 is engaging the surface 152. This also allows the surface 152 to engage the pin .136 regardless of the location of the pin, .which location varies .with the pivotal or rotational orientation of the cam 132, which depends on whether the deadbolt is locked or unlocked.
[0032] A manual release cam 156 is pivotally mounted on the base plate 104 above the wall 144. The cam 156 extends through an opening in the base plate 104 and through an opening in the inside base plate 54. The inner end of the cam 156 (the right end in Fig. 3) is accessible by removing the inside escutcheon 82, and the inner end of the cam 156 has therein a slot engageable by a screwdriver. The cam 156 includes a camming surface 160 engageable with the upper surface 148 of the wall. The cam 156 is pivotal between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The cam 156 is normally held in its engaged position by a spring plate 164 that is mounted on the base plate 104 and that engages a generally 1)-shaped upper surface 168 of the cam. The 13-shaped surface 168 of the cam and the spring plate 164 create an over-center mechanism that holds the cam 156 in the position it is in, normally the engaged position. The force of the spring plate 164 must be overcome to pivot the cam 156 to a different position.
[0033] When the wall 144 is in its upper position, the upper surface 148 of the wall abuts or is closely spaced from the camming surface 160 of the cam when the cam 156 is in its engaged position. From this state, pivotal movement of the cam 156 to its disengaged position (this is done manually with a screwdriver, as further described below) causes the camming surface 160 of the cam to push downward on the upper surface 148 of the wall and move the wall 144 to its lower position. Such movement of the wall 144 and the camming surface 152 allows the pin 136 to return to its disengaged position under the force. of the spring 140. The reason for this is described below.
[0034] A retaining plate 172 is mounted to the base plate 104 over the wall 144. The retaining plate 172 has therein a circular opening 176 centered on the axis, and an adapter 180 is mounted in the opening 176 for pivotal movement about the axis and relative to the base plate 104. A retaining ring 184 holds the adapter 180 in the opening. The inner end (the right end in Fig. 3) of the adapter is generally cylindrical and has therein a plurality of, and preferably six, axially extending notches 188 spaced around the inner end.
When the pin 136 on the clutching cam 132 is in its inner or engaged position, the pin 136 extends into one of the notches 188 such the clutching cam 132 and the adapter 180 pivot together.
Consequently, when the pin 136 is in its engaged position, pivotal movement of the adapter 180 causes like pivotal movement of the clutching cam 132, the driver bar 142 and the inside tumpiece 86. The outer end of the adapter 180 is generally cylindrical with a greater radius than the inner end. The outer end has thereon two diametrically opposed flats 192, and the outer end has therein a rectangular slot 196 centered on the axis.
[00351 An outer thumbtum or tumpiece 200 is mounted on the adapter 180 (and on an outer escutcheon 204 described below) for pivotal movement therewith. The outer end of the adapter 180 extends into the inner end of the tumpiece 200, and the tumpiece has flats engaging the flats 192 on the adapter such that the turnpiece and the adapter pivot together. When the tumpiece 200 is in a vertical position, as shown in Fig.
1,.the slot 196 in the adapter extends vertically. Housed within the tumpiece 200 is a key operated lock mechanism or cylinder lock 208. The lock includes an outer housing 212 supported within the tumpiece such that the housing 212 is permitted limited axial movement relative to the tumpiece and is substantially prevented from pivoting or rotating relative to the tumpiece.
Thus, the lock 208, the turnpiece 200 and the adapter 1180 pivot together. The lock housing 212 has an extension or fin 216 that extends into a complementary recess in the turnpiece to facilitate such relative movement of the housing 212 and the tumpiece 200.
[0036] The lock 208 includes an inner portion 220 that can be pivoted relative to the housing 212 with a key 221, as is known in the art. The inner portion 220 is movable between a locked position (Fig. 3) and an unlocked position. A generally rectangular blocking portion 222 extends axially from and pivots with the inner portion 220 of the lock. The blocking portion 222 extends horizontally when the inner portion 220 is in the locked position, and when so oriented the blocking portion 222 cannot be extended into the slot 196 in the adapter 180. Thus, in this orientation the blocking portion 222 blocks axial movement of the lock housing 212 relative to the tumpiece. A driver tab 224, which is rectangular in cross-section, extends axially from the blocking portion 222 and pivots with the portion 222 and with the inner portion 220 of the lock. When the key is not inserted in the lock and the tumpiece 200 is in the vertical position, the driver tab 224 extends horizontally when viewed from its end. When the key is inserted into the lock and turned ninety degrees (Figs. 7 and 8), the blocking portion 222 and the driver tab 224 pivot ninety degrees such that the blocking portion 222 extends vertically and is aligned with the slot 196 in the adapter 180. The key can then be pushed in (Figs. 9 and 10), moving the lock housing 212 inward relative to the turnpiece 200, and moving the driver tab 224 axially into the aligned slot 134 in the outer end of the clutching cam 132.
The driver tab 224 can extend into either one of the slots 134 in clutching cam, depending on the pivotal =
position of the cam 132, which depends on whether the deadbolt is extended or retracted.
Thereafter, pivotal movement of the turnpiece 200 causes pivotal movement of the adapter 180, the driver tab 224 and the clutching cam 132, which causes pivotal movement of the driver bar 42 as described above. The key can only be removed by pulling the lock housing out, which removes the driver tab 224 from the clutching cam 132 and thereby disconnects the turnpiece 200 and the driver bar 42. While the disclosed key operated lock mechanism is a cylinder lock, it should be understood that any type of key operated lock mechanism can be employed.
[0037] An outer escutcheon 204, mentioned above, is mounted on the base plate 104 over the turnpiece. Alternative escutcheons 204a and 204b are shown in Fig. 3.
A washer 207 is located between the turnpiece and the escutcheon.
[0038] When the deadbolt 22 is extended (locked), an operator on the outside of the door can retract the deadbolt (unlock the door) either with the keypad or with the key. An operator would choose to use the key if he or she has forgotten the code to be entered on the keypad, or if the keypad is not working, which could happen, for example, if the battery has lost power.
[0039] To use the key, the operator inserts the key in the lock 208, turns the key clockwise and pushes the key inward. As described above, this causes the driver tab 224 to enter the slot 134 in the camming clutch 132 and thereby links the camming clutch 132 to the adapter 180. (The possibility of the driver tab 224 not immediately being aligned with the slot 134 is discussed below.) The operator can then turn the turnpiece 200, which pivots the driver bar 42 counterclockwise and retracts the deadbolt 22 in the conventional manner.
[0040] To use the keypad, the operator enters the programmed code on the keypad.
The circuit board or controller 70 receives the input and sends a signal to the motor 116 causing the motor to move the wall 144 upwardly. This causes the wall to move the pin 136 into an aligned notch 188, which links the camming clutch 132 to the adapter 180.
(The possibility of the pin 136 not immediately being aligned with a notch 188 is discussed below.) The operator can then turn the turnpiece 200, which pivots the driver bar 42 counterclockwise and retracts the deadbolt 22. This movement of the driver bar also causes the cam 74 to close the switch 62, which sends a signal to the circuit board or controller 70. The controller 70 then initiates a "relock" time delay, which gives the operator a predetermined amount of time to relock the deadbolt from the outside. After .
the relock time delay, the controller 70 signals the motor 116 to lower the wall 144 and thereby disconnect the outside thutnbtum 200 from the driver bar 42.
5 [0041] The operator can relock the door either from the outside, as mentioned above, or from the inside after entering through the door. From the inside, the operator can always turn the turnpiece 86 to lock the door. Relocking the door from either side pivots the cam 74 to open the switch 62, sending another signal to the controller 70.
The controller 70 may either ignore the signal 62 from the switch or use it to truncate the 10 relock time delay. In the former "ignore it" case, the controller 70 waits for the relock time to pass and then the controller signals the motor 116 to lower the wall 144 and disengage the camming clutch 132, after which the outside turnpiece 200 is no longer connected to the driver bar 42. In the latter or "truncate" case, when the controller 70 receives the signal that the switch 62 has opened, because the door has been locked, the controller immediately signals the motor 116 to lower the wall 144 and disengage the camming clutch 132, after which the outside turnpiece 200 is no longer connected to the driver bar 42. Thus, in the latter case, the relock time delay is truncated when the switch 62 opens due to relocking of the deadbolt.
[0042] If the operator entered with the key because the electronics were not working, there would be no need to disengage the outside turnpiece 200 if the turnpiece was not connected to the driver bar 42 in the first place. If, however, the electronics failed after connecting the outside turnpiece 200 to the driver bar 42, the controller 70 could not disengage the outside turnpiece 200 after entry. The manual release cam 156 allows the operator to manually disengage the outside turnpiece 200 in the unlikely event of such electronic failure. As described above, the operator can remove the inside escutcheon 82 and use a screwdriver to pivot the cam 156 and lower the wall 144, thereby disengaging the outside turnpiece 200.
10043] = - To unlock the .deadbolt from the inside, the operator merely has to turn the turnpiece 86 clockwise. Because the turnpiece 86 is always engaged with the driver bar 42, this retracts the deadbolt 22. This also closes the switch 62, as described above, which signals the controller 70 to raise the wall 144, thereby engaging the outside tumpiece 200, and initiating the relock time delay. After exiting through the door, the operator has until the expiration of the relock time delay to relock the door. After expiration of the relock time delay, the outside tumpiece 200 is disengaged. If the door has already been relocked, it can no longer be opened from the outside without entering the code or using the key. If the door: has not been relocked, it can no longer be locked from the outside without entering the code or using the key. If the controller is set to truncate the relock time delay, the outside tumpiece 200 is disengaged immediately after the door is relocked.
[0044] In another mode of operation, the outside thumbtum 200 remains connected with the driver bar 42 indefinitely (i.e., clutch mechanism stays in the engaged configuration) until the operator extends the bolt 22 to secure the door. In other words, the relock time delay is indefinite. When the door is relbcked, the controller 70 disengages the =
outside tumpiece 200.
[0045] In another mode of operation, when the operator retracts the bolt 22 from the inside, the controller 70 receives the signal from the switch 62 but the controller does not operate the motor 116 to engage the outside tumpiece 200 until the controller 70 receives a second signal that is generated by pushing a specific key or similar means on the outside keypad 128. Until the designated key is pushed, the outside thumbtum 200 remains disconnected from the driver bar 42 and the bolt 22 remains in the retracted position, with the door thus being in an unsecured/unlocked state. Once the operator pushes the designated key, the controller 70 operates the motor to connect the outside thumbtum 200 with the driver bar 42. The operator may then throw/extend the bolt 22 to secure the door to the doorframe, and such movement opens the switch 62, which causes the controller 70 to operate the motor to disconnect the outside thumbturn 200 from the driver bar 42, thus locking the door.
[0046] It should be apparent that the states of the switch 62 could be reversed, such that the switch is closed when the deadbolt is locked and open when the deadbolt is unlocked.
[0047] = The outside thumbtum 200 could conceivably be in any rotational orientation when an operator tries to turn it, either to lock or unlock the door. The six notches 188 in the adapter 180 allow for this in the event the operator is using the keypad.
When the operator uses the keypad to engage the tumpiece 206, the motor 116 tries to raise the wall 144 to move the pin 136 into a notch 188 aligned with the pin 136. If a notch 188 is so aligned, the pin 136 moves into the notch 188 and couples the adapter 180 to the clutching cam 132, which enables use of the thumbturn 200 as described above. If a notch 188 is not so aligned, the pin 136 will engage a portion of the adapter 180 between two notches, and this will prevent further inward movement of the pin 136 and further upward movement of the wall 144. As the motor continues to rotate the spring 120 in an attempt to raise the wall 144, the spring will extend or stretch when upward movement of the wall 144 stops. Thereafter, when the operator starts to turn the turnpiece 200, the pin will quickly become aligned with an adjacent notch 188, and the spring 120 will then return to its normal length and will pull the wall 144 upward causing the pin 136 to move into the now-aligned notch 188. The turnpiece 200 is then engaged.
=
[0048] In the event the operator is using the key, it is possible the driver tab 224 will =
not be aligned with the slot 134 in the clutching cam 132 when the operator tries to push the key in. Then the driver tab 224 will bump into the end of the cam 132, and the operator will not be able to push the key in. Further turning of the key a slight amount, which will also turn the turnpiece 200, will bring the driver tab 224 into alignment with the slot 134, after which the operator will be able to push the key in and couple the turnpiece 200 to the driver bar 42.
[0049] Whether the keypad or the key is used to lock or unlock the door, the force necessary to pivot the driver bar 42 and move the deadbolt 22 is provided by the operator, not by a motor or other device, such as a solenoid. In other words, a force applied to the turnpiece 200 by the operator is mechanically transmitted to the deadbolt, so that the operator manually moves the deadbolt. In the construction described above, the force is transmitted to the deadbolt by, among other things, the driver bar 42. Having the force needed to throw the deadbolt provided by the operator provides advantages over electronic deadbolts that use a motor or solenoid to move the deadbolt when a proper credential is presented. With such devices, if the deadbolt is not properly aligned with the receiving opening in the door frame when the operator attempts to lock the door, the motor or solenoid may continue to attempt to throw the bolt until the battery dies, or the motor or solenoid may stop trying to throw the bolt without the operator knowing that the deadbolt is not secured. With the lock assembly 10, if the deadbolt 22 is not properly aligned with the receiving opening in the door frame when the operator attempts to lock the door, the =

operator will not be able to fully turn the turnpiece 200, and the operator will thereby become aware of the problem.
[0050] An alternative lock assembly 300 is illustrated in Figs. 12-14.
Except as described below, the lock assembly 300 is substantially identical to the lock assembly 10, and common elements have been given the same reference numerals.
[0051] Instead of a slot in its outer end, the adapter 180 of the lock assembly 300 has in its outer end a cylindrical recess 304 into which the inner end of the lock housing 212 can extend. The inner end of the adapter 180 has therein a slot 308 that extends vertically =
when the turnpiece 200 extends vertically, as shown in Fig. 12. The inner end of the lock housing 212 has extending axially therefrom a driver bar or tailpiece 312 connected to the cylinder lock inner portion 220 for rotation therewith. The tailpiece 312 is rectangular in cross-section, with its longer dimension extending perpendicular to the key.
Thus, when the turnpiece 200 and key are vertical as shown in Fig. 12, the tailpiece 312 extends horizontally. Because the slot 308 in the adapter 180 extends vertically when the turnpiece 200 is vertical, the tailpiece 312 cannot be inserted into the slot 308 when the key is also vertical. Engagement of the tailpiece 312 with the inner end of the adaptor 180 thus prevents axially inward movement of the key.
[0052] When the key is turned ninety degrees relative to the turnpiece 200, as shown in Fig. 13, the tailpiece 312 becomes aligned with the slot 308. The key can then be pushed inward, as shown in Fig. 14, to move the inner end of the tailpiece 312 into the slot 308 and into an aligned slot 134 in the clutching cam 132. Thereafter, pivotal movement of the tumpiece 200 causes pivotal movement of the adapter 180, the tailpiece 312 and the clutching cam 132, which causes pivotal movement of the driver bar 42.
[0053] The tailpiece 312 can be made collapsible to resist opening of the lock assembly 300 by a physical attack on the cylinder lock 208. If the cylinder lock 208 were hammered or otherwise forced inward without inserting and turning the key, engagement of the tailpiece 312 and the inner end of the adapter 180 (with the tailpiece 312 not being aligned with the slot 308) would cause the tailpiece 312 to collapse, thereby preventing engagement of the turnpiece 200 with the driver bar42.
