Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a mechanical prevention apparatus designed to be installed to the door of an emergency exit to prevent rotating the lever handle of the lock in normal conditions. In case of emergency the prevention apparatus can be broken in order to be able to use the emergency exit.
- It is known to provide the door of an emergency exit with a mechanical prevention apparatus for preventing the rotating the lever handle of the lock and thus the opening of the door. Thus, the emergency exit provided with the prevention apparatus is always closed in normal condition, but it can be quickly opened in an emergency. Thereby the user must break the mechanical prevention apparatus in order to be able to use the lever handle.
- It is known to attach the mechanical prevention apparatus to a door and it covers the lever handle. Thereby the dome covering the lever handle must be broken before the lever handle can be rotated. In practice at least three movements are needed for opening the door: breaking the dome, moving the broken dome away and rotating the lever handle. Such a prevention apparatus must be totally replaced in case of vandalism, whereby the attachment to the door can loosen, especially if vandalism is a recurring occurrence. Installing a new dome instead of the broken one requires tools. The door can also be scratched.
- Another known way is to use a plastic binder loop screwed to both the door and the end of the lever handle. In an emergency the loop of the plastic binder must be removed by hand if the strength of the user is not sufficient to break the plastic binder by rotating the lever handle. The embodiment is not aesthetic and the lever handle must in practice be provided with a hole for fastening the plastic binder loop. The operation is unreliable, especially when the users are children and elderly. The door can easily be scratched.
- The usability of the above-mentioned embodiments is not very good, as their use in practice requires a number of movements for opening the door and they can't be installed in, for example, a glass profile door. More complex mechanical prevention apparatuses are also known, such as an apparatus provided with a seal and a separate signalling system for monitoring the state of the emergency exits.
- The purpose of the invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems. The purpose is achieved as disclosed in claim 1. Other claims describe the various embodiments of the invention.
- The mechanical prevention apparatus according to the invention comprises a
body part replacement part prevention surface 3 for preventing the rotation of the lever handle. The prevention apparatus comprises at least one portion ofweakness - In the following the invention is described in more detail by reference to the appended figures, in which

Figure 1 illustrates a prevention apparatus according to the invention installed in the door of an emergency exit. The prevention apparatus comprises abody part 10 attachable to the door and areplacement part 20A attachable to the body part. The replacement part comprises aprevention surface 3 that during installation prevents rotation of thelever handle 12 in normal situations. The mechanical prevention apparatus is well accessible, so the user sees that the door is one meant only for emergency exits and the lever handle is not supposed to be used in a normal situation. In an emergency the mechanical prevention apparatus, however, yields so that the lever handle can be used. In this embodiment this is arranged so that thereplacement part 20A comprises two portions ofweakness weakness 4 so that thelever handle 12 rotates sufficiently for opening the door. Thus, the replacement part of the embodiment offigure 1 bends at two places, if necessary. -
Figures 2A and 2D illustrate an embodiment of the replacement part having at least one portion ofweakness 40 at which the replacement part breaks, when necessary.Figure 3 illustrates the replacement part offigure 1 , the part being bent to a z-shaped curve when the lever handle is rotated with sufficient strength. - Preferably the
body part 10 and thereplacement part quick attachment elements replacement part 20A of such an embodiment is described infigures 2A - 2D and thebody part 10 is illustrated infigures 5A - 5D . The quick attachment is preferable, as the installation of the replacement part to the body part is very easy and fast. A separate tool is not needed. In case the replacement part is broken due to vandalism, there is no need to replace the whole prevention apparatus and there is no need to make a new attachment to the door. Thus, no marks are made to the door when the broken replacement part is replaced with a new replacement part. It is, however, of course possible to fasten the replacement part by means of a screw to the body part. - It is also possible to arrange the portion of
weakness 40B in connection with the quick attachment of the replacement part.Figures 4A - 4C illustrate such an embodiment. In this case thereplacement part 20B breaks at the portion ofweakness 40B of the quick attachment.Figure 6 illustrates a body part for such an embodiment, the figures showing the correspondingquick attachment design 50A of thebody part 10A. The quick attachment dowel can be a common part of the replacement part or it can be a separate replaceable part. - The
replacement part weakness - Preferably the plate also comprises an
extension 7 forming the saidprevention surface 3. The extension allows also producing torque so that the plate is more easily broken at the portion of weakness. As can be seen in the figures, the extension is on the opposite side of the plate in relation to the portion of weakness. During installation, the prevention surface formed by the extension is against thelever handle 12. It is also possible to produce the plate so that the prevention surface is, for example, directly at the end of it, but in this case the portion of weakness must be made deeper and possibly differently from the embodiments shown in the figures. - In an embodiment according to the invention (shown in figures) the plate 2 comprises also an
attention part 8 parallel with the plate on the other side of theextension 7 seen from the portion of weakness. The attention part can comprise a back-up portion of weakness 9 so that the attention part bends as the lever handle is rotated. Thus, the back-up portion of weakness ensures that the lever handle can be rotated in an emergency. The attention part is visibly in front of the lever handle whereby it indicates that the door is not meant for normal use. The plate can also comprise an informative text, such as "FIRE EXIT". The portions of weakness shown in the figures can be realized so that they are grooves. - The embodiment of the body part shown in figures comprises a shaft having a curve. During installation the
other side 110 of the shaft faces the surface of the door and theother side 110A) is parallel with the handle part of thelever handle 12. The curved shaft according to the embodiment allows the attachment point of the body part to be arranged vertically parallel with the axis of rotation of the lever handle. This means that the mechanical prevention apparatus is also suitable for installation in a glass profile door. By a glass profile door we mean a door being a glass but the borders thereof being, for example, metal profile. The other side of the body part, on the other hand, offers an attachment point for thereplacement part figure 1 . The body part can be, for example, attached by screws to the door. The body part can, however, be realized in another way, such as having a straight shaft below the lever handle. - The body part and the replacement part can also be made of plastic. Other material, such as metal suitable for the purpose, can also be used.
- On the basis of the above it is evident that the invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed here, but it can be carried out in a number of different other embodiments within the inventive idea.
