Electronic deadbolt lock
First Claim
1. A deadbolt lock assembly comprisinga retractable and extendable deadbolt,a housing,a credential reading device on the housing,an outside turnpiece pivotally mounted on the housing, the turnpiece being normally disconnected from the deadbolt, and the turnpiece being configured to be gripped and turned by an operator,a key operated lock mechanism on the housing, anda mechanism operable to connect the turnpiece to the deadbolt so that an operator can turn the turnpiece to move the deadbolt, the mechanism connecting the turnpiece to the deadbolt both when an operator uses a key in the key operated lock mechanism and when an operator presents an appropriate credential to the credential reading device, only one of the key and the credential being required for the mechanism to connect the turnpiece to the deadbolt.

Abstract
A deadbolt lock assembly comprising a retractable and extendable deadbolt, a housing, an outside member movably mounted on the housing, the member being normally disconnected from the deadbolt, and an operator input device on the housing, the device connecting the member to the deadbolt in response to presentation of an appropriate credential, such that a force applied to the member by the operator is mechanically transmitted to the deadbolt to move the deadbolt.

37. A deadbolt lock assembly comprising
a retractable and extendable deadbolt, a housing, a credential reading device on the housing, an outside turnpiece pivotally mounted on the housing, the turnpiece being normally disconnected from the deadbolt, and the turnpiece being configured to be gripped and turned by an operator, and a mechanism operable to connect the turnpiece to the deadbolt so that an operator can turn the turnpiece to move the deadbolt, the mechanism including a motor and a controller that receives input from the credential reading device and sends a signal to the motor to connect the turnpiece to the deadbolt, and that, after turning of the turnpiece to retract the deadbolt, initiates a relock time delay to give an operator a predetermined amount of time to relock the deadbolt with the turnpiece, and, after the relock time delay, disconnects the turnpiece from the deadbolt, and wherein the controller, after an operator extends the deadbolt, truncates the relock time delay.

38. A deadbolt lock assembly comprising
a retractable and extendable deadbolt, a housing, a credential reading device on the housing, an inside turnpiece operably connected to the deadbolt, an outside turnpiece pivotally mounted on the housing, the turnpiece being normally disconnected from the deadbolt, and the turnpiece being configured to be gripped and turned by an operator, and a mechanism operable to connect the outside turnpiece to the deadbolt so that an operator can turn the outside turnpiece to move the deadbolt, the mechanism including a motor and a controller that receives input from the credential reading device and sends a signal to the motor to connect the outside turnpiece to the deadbolt, and that, after turning of the outside turnpiece to retract the deadbolt, initiates a relock time delay to give an operator a predetermined amount of time to relock the deadbolt with the outside turnpiece, and, after the relock time delay, disconnects the outside turnpiece from the deadbolt, and wherein the controller, after an operator turns the inside turnpiece to retract the deadbolt, sends a signal to the motor to connect the outside turnpiece to the deadbolt, and initiates a relock time delay to give an operator a predetermined amount of time to relock the deadbolt with the outside turnpiece.

39. A deadbolt lock assembly comprising
a retractable and extendable deadbolt, a housing, a credential reading device on the housing, an inside turnpiece operably connected to the deadbolt, an outside turnpiece pivotally mounted on the housing, the turnpiece being normally disconnected from the deadbolt, and the turnpiece being configured to be gripped and turned by an operator, and a mechanism operable to connect the outside turnpiece to the deadbolt so that an operator can turn the outside turnpiece to move the deadbolt, the mechanism including a motor and a controller that receives input from the credential reading device and sends a signal to the motor to connect the outside turnpiece to the deadbolt, and that, after turning of the outside turnpiece to retract the deadbolt, initiates a relock time delay to give an operator a predetermined amount of time to relock the deadbolt with the outside turnpiece, and, after the relock time delay, disconnects the outside turnpiece from the deadbolt, and wherein the controller, after an operator turns the inside turnpiece to retract the deadbolt, sends a signal to the motor to connect the outside turnpiece to the driver bar, and initiates an indefinite relock time delay to give an operator an indefinite amount of time to relock the deadbolt with the outside turnpiece.

41. A deadbolt lock assembly comprising
a retractable and extendable deadbolt, a housing, a credential reading device on the housing, an inside turnpiece operably connected to the deadbolt, an outside turnpiece pivotally mounted on the housing, the turnpiece being normally disconnected from the deadbolt, and the turnpiece being configured to be gripped and turned by an operator, and a mechanism operable to connect the outside turnpiece to the deadbolt so that an operator can turn the outside turnpiece to move the deadbolt, the mechanism including a motor and a controller that receives input from the credential reading device and sends a signal to the motor to connect the outside turnpiece to the deadbolt, and that, after turning of the outside turnpiece to retract the deadbolt, initiates a relock time delay to give an operator a predetermined amount of time to relock the deadbolt with the outside turnpiece, and, after the relock time delay, disconnects the outside turnpiece from the deadbolt, and wherein the controller, after an operator turns the inside turnpiece to retract the deadbolt, sends a signal to the motor to connect the outside turnpiece to the driver bar only after the controller receives a predetermined signal from the operator.
