ABSTRACT:
For translating the linear motion of a pivotally mounted thumb piece for a front door latch into the rotary motion needed to withdraw a latch bolt, two rotary members are employed. One is a bell crank having a pivotal mounting on the mounting plate at one side of and at right angles to the pivotal mounting of the thumb plate and rotationally responsive to linear motion of the thumb piece. The other is a drum having a rotatable mounting on the mounting plate parallel to and spaced from the bell crank pivotal mounting, and at a location adjacent a roll back of a latch bolt. A resilient connector strip from the bell crank to the drum causes the drum to be rotated in response to rotation of the bell crank. A torsion return spring attached to the drum acts to return the drum and the bell crank to their original positions.
