Abstract:
An exemplary status-indicating locking assembly includes a cylindrical lock assembly and a status-indicating assembly. The status-indicating assembly includes a sensor configured to sense the status of the cylindrical lock assembly, a transmission configured to communicate the lock status to at least one side of a door, and an indicator configured to display indicia relating to the lock status on the at least one side of the door. In certain forms, the sensor, transmission, and indicator may be electronic, mechanical, hydraulic, magnetic, or combinations thereof.

Claim (Index 31):
A status-indicating locking assembly, comprising:\n a lock assembly having a locked state and an unlocked state, and comprising:\n a latch having an extended latching position and a retracted unlatching position; and \n a lock control assembly operable to transition the lock assembly between the locked state and the unlocked state, the lock control assembly including a movable element having a first position in the locked state and a second position in the unlocked state; and \n a status-indicating assembly configured to visually indicate a status of the lock assembly without being acted upon by a user, the status-indicating assembly comprising:\n a sensor associated with the movable element, the sensor having a lock-indicating state when the movable element is in the first position and an unlock-indicating state when the movable element is in the second position; \n a transmission operably connected to the sensor; and \n an indicator operably connected to the transmission; \n wherein the transmission is configured to communicate the state of the sensor to the indicator; and \n wherein the indicator is configured to display a first indicia when the sensor is in the lock-indicating state and to display a second indicia when the sensor is in the unlock-indicating state.
