Abstract:
Disclosed are embodiments of a tapered bolt receiver for a door lock to accommodate misalignment, between a deadbolt mounted to a door, and an opposing jamb. The tapered bolt receiver can be configured to accommodate misalignment for a deadbolt having a non-tapered bolt, such as for an electromechanical smart lock having a battery stored within a battery compartment that is integrated with an enhanced bolt. Also disclosed are embodiments of a deadbolt plate pivot assembly that is pivotably mountable to a corresponding deadbolt assembly to define a plate pivot system, to accommodate a beveled door edge. An illustrative embodiment of the deadbolt plate pivot assembly includes opposing plate that captures a hinge assembly, which can include plastic plate hinges, which serve to locate the deadbolt plate pivot assembly with respect to a corresponding bolt housing, and can provide a spring force and/or constant torque when mounted to a beveled door.

Claim (Index 8):
A deadbolt pivot plate assembly for mounting to a bolt housing of a deadbolt assembly, wherein the bolt housing has an exterior surface and includes a rear end and a front end opposite the rear end, and a pair of vertically-aligned pivot mounting pins located on the exterior surface of the bolt housing at the front end, the deadbolt pivot plate assembly comprising:\n a back plate having an outer surface and an inner surface opposite the outer surface, wherein the inner surface and the outer surface extend from an upper end to a lower end, the back plate including:\n a central deadbolt hole defined though the back plate from the outer surface to the inner surface, through which the rear end of the bolt housing can pass; \n an upper fastener hole defined though the back plate from the outer surface to the inner surface, wherein the upper door fastener hole is located between the central deadbolt hole and the upper end, \n a lower fastener hole defined though the back plate from the outer surface to the inner surface, wherein the upper door fastener hole is located between the central deadbolt hole and the lower end, and \n a plurality of assembly fastener holes defined though the back plate from the outer surface to the inner surface; \n a front plate having an outer surface and an inner surface opposite the outer surface, wherein the inner surface and the outer surface extend from an upper end to a lower end, the front plate including:\n a central hole defined though the front plate from the outer surface to the inner surface, through which a bolt of the deadbolt assembly can extend, \n an upper door fastener hole defined though the front plate from the outer surface to the inner surface, wherein the upper door fastener hole is located between the central hole and the upper end, \n a lower fastener hole defined though the back plate from the outer surface to the inner surface, wherein the upper door fastener hole is located between the central hole and the lower end, and \n a plurality of threaded fastener holes defined on the inner surface; \n a pair of plastic plate hinges pivotably located on vertically-aligned pivot mounting pins; and a plurality of assembly fasteners extending from the outer surface of the back plate, through the assembly fastener holes, and threadably attached to the plurality of threaded fastener holes on the inner surface; wherein the plastic plate hinges are confined between the back plate and the front plate, to define the deadbolt pivot plate assembly; wherein the deadbolt pivot plate assembly is affixed to the front end of the bolt housing through the hinge assembly; and wherein the deadbolt pivot plate assembly is vertically pivotable.
