Abstract:
1. An anti-ligature trim assembly for a door comprising: an escutcheon; a linear slot in the escutcheon; and an anti-ligature handle operable to be mounted to the escutcheon for movement in the linear slot along a guided linear path between a default non-operative position and an operative latch-retracting position; wherein the anti-ligature handle includes a shroud defined by a projecting rim around a perimeter of the handle, the projecting rim defining a closed boundary within a plane; wherein when the handle is mounted to the escutcheon, the projecting rim of the shroud maintains contact with the escutcheon regardless of the position of the handle on the escutcheon; wherein the projecting rim completely surrounds the linear slot, and the shroud completely conceals the linear slot, regardless of the position of the handle on the escutcheon, so that there is no external opening to the linear slot.
