Abstract:
1. A remotely operated locking paddle handle latch assembly for closures and the like, comprising: a housing adapted for mounting adjacent an associated closure of the type that can be shifted between an open position and a closed position; a paddle handle pivotally mounted in an exterior portion of said housing for rotation between a refracted position and an extended position; a latch operably connected with said paddle handle, and configured such that when said paddle handle is in said retracted position, said latch is in a latched position, wherein the closure cannot be unintentionally shifted from the closed position, and when said paddle handle is in said extended position, said latch is in an unlatched position, wherein the closure is free to be shifted from the closed position to the open position; a key lock mounted on said exterior portion of said housing, and including a movable key lock member rotatable mounted in said key lock for selectively pivoting between a locked position and an unlocked position; a deadbolt lock movably mounted in said housing for shifting between a locked position, wherein the closure is positively retained in the closed position, and an unlocked position, wherein the closure is free to be shifted between the open and closed positions; said deadbolt lock being operably connected with said movable key lock member, whereby movement of said movable key lock member between said locked and unlocked positions shifts said deadbolt lock between said locked and unlocked positions; a remotely operable controller operably connected with said deadbolt lock and power shifting the same between said locked and unlocked positions from a remote location; and a multi-arm lock cam rotatably mounted in said housing and operably connected with said key lock member for rotation therewith; said lock cam having a first crank arm operably connected with said deadbolt lock and a second crank arm operably connected with said remotely operable controller.
