Electric strike with gate member blocking escape path
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11959310B2) discloses an electric strike designed for use in door systems. The electric strike features a housing with an internal face against a door frame, an external strike face, and a socket for receiving a male locking member mounted on a door. The electric strike includes a pivotally mounted keeper with a gate member that blocks the escape path of the locking member when in a closed configuration. An electrically powered actuator, such as a solenoid, controls the movement of a catch that engages with the keeper to prevent it from opening, allowing for secure locking and unlocking of the door.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method of operating the electric strike, as well as a door system incorporating the electric strike. The door system includes a door hinged to a door frame, with the male locking member mounted on the door. The electric strike, when integrated into the system, ensures the secure locking and unlocking of the door by controlling the movement of the keeper and catch mechanism. The design of the electric strike and its components, such as the socket with a rectangular cross-section and the solenoid axis perpendicular to the socket axis, contribute to its efficient operation within the door system, providing a reliable and effective security solution for various applications.
