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 50):
A status-indicating assembly configured for use with a lockset installed in a door and having a locked state and an unlocked state, the lockset including a first handle, a second handle, a latch bolt biased from a retracted position toward an extended position, and a chassis connected to the first handle, the second handle, and the latch bolt, the chassis including a movable element having a first position in the locked state and a second position in the unlocked state, wherein each of the first and second handles is operable to retract the latch bolt in the unlocked state, wherein one of the first and second handles is not operable to retract the latch bolt in the locked state, and wherein the other of the first and second handles is operable to retract the latch bolt in the locked state, the status-indicating assembly comprising:\n a sensor associated with the movable element, and having a first sensor state in response to the first position of the movable element and a second sensor state in response to the second position of the movable element; an indicator having a first indicator state and a second indicator state, wherein the indicator is configured to display a first indicia in the first indicator state and to display a second indicia in the second indicator state; and a transmission coupled to the sensor and to the indicator, the transmission configured to actuate the first indicator state in response to the first sensor state, and to actuate the second indicator state in response to the second sensor state; and wherein the status-indicating assembly is a passive status-indicating assembly configured to display indicia corresponding to the state of the sensor without being acted upon by a user.
