Abstract

See full text

A housing mounted to the frame of a panic exit device confines a translatable limb, and a pivotable arm. The limb has a lobe which obstructs the arm to prevent its pivoting and, as a consequence, the arm blocks the latchbolt linkage of the device to prevent unlatching. A rod joined to a time-delayed-operative solenoid is coupled to the limb for displacing the limb from arm-pivoting obstruction, to allow the arm to unblock the latchbolt linkage, whereby the latchbolt can unlatch following the time delayed deenergization of the solenoid. Under normal conditions, the solenoid is energized to prohibit immediate unlatching.
