Abstract (en)

The exit device (2) comprises, a housing (4) comprising a back plate (8) for mounting on a door (6) and providing guide means for the rack (10) of a rack-and-pinion mechanism (12), the rack (10) of which is a closed rack which is retained within the guide means, and is free to move, to a limited extent, in a plane parallel to the plane of the back plate (8), and the pinion (14) of which is adapted to receive the spindle (16) of an anti-panic mortise lock (18). The device (2) further comprises a lever handle (20) pivotally mounted on the housing (4) with co-operating projections (24, 26) on the lever handle (20) and attached to the rack (10), such that operation of the lever handle (20) drives the rack (10) within the guide means and biassing means (28) tending to urge the rack (10) in the direction opposed to that in which it is driven by the lever handle (20). <IMAGE>
