Abstract:
1. An actuator assembly for a lock with a swing bolt, said actuator assembly comprising: a motor; a leading screw connected coaxially to the motor; a sleeve engaged with the leading screw and moving linearly as the leading screw is rotated, the sleeve having an internal hole; a clip having two legs for engaging with the leading screw, the clip being mounted to the sleeve; and a follower moving linearly by the linear movement of the sleeve, wherein the sleeve further includes a pair of holes perpendicularly to the internal hole to allow the two legs of the clip to insert thereinto, such that when the leading screw is rotated, the two legs engage with corresponding threads of the leading screw to cause the sleeve to move linearly relative to the leading screw and thereby causing the follower to move linearly relative to the leading screw along with the sleeve, and wherein the two legs of the clip engage opposite sides of the leading screw.
