  • the elongate member 157 does not move linearly relative to housing 140 as the disc 156 rotates. Thereby, the bolt of the first lock assembly is retained in the retracted position.
  • the tongue portion 154c of the first plate 154 acts against the biasing provided by the return spring to which the tongue portion 154c is couple. Holding the crash bar 120 down maintains the first plate 154 in this position against the biasing provided by the return spring.
  • the nib portion 154b of the first plate is abuttable against the stop member 144 of the housing 140 to restrict the rotation of the first plate 154 when the crash bar 120 is released. As both bolts of the first and second door locks are retracted, the door can be opened.
  • the return spring to which the tongue portion 154c of the 154 is coupled returns the first plate 154 to the position shown in Figure ID which corresponds to the crash bar 120 being in the raised position.
  • the first axle 153 rotates in unison with the first plate 154 to extend the bolt of the second door lock.
  • the first and second gears 151, 152 also rotate to return the crash bar 120 to the raised position from the lowered position.
  • the arm 155 that is pivotably mounted to the nib portion 154a moves downwardly about the axle 153, which causes the disc 156 to rotate in a counterclockwise direction.
  • the snib 142 on the second side of the door or the interface of the first door lock on the first side of the door is operated to extend the bolt of the first door lock.
  • the extension of the bolt causes the first end portion 157a of the elongate member 157 to move along the arcuate slot of the disc 156 upwardly (in a second linear direction) relative to the housing 140.
