Abstract:

A roseless trim for a mortise or tubular lock includes through bolts on a bolt circle of less than one inch (25. 4 mm). Spindle hubs with a curved slot allow at least one of the through bolts to pass through the spindle hubs. A tubular lock embodiment uses arms with a cutout. The arms function as through bolts when screws attach the arms to mounting plates on opposite sides of the door. Each handle is attached to a corresponding handle base with a bushing. The handle base and small diameter bolt circle cooperate to provide the appearance that the handle extends directly into the door without a rose, escutcheon or any other attachment structure at the base of the handle.

Abstract:

A hand tool which can be a multibit fastener driver with an in-handle bit storage system. A fastener driver which can have bit storage system which can have a bypass angle which provide an exit path for a bit being removed from storage which is free of intersection with obstacles and achieves efficient removal of bits from bit storage chambers. A bit storage system which can have one or more bit retainers and/or one or more bit grips which reversibly maintain a bit in storage when the fastener driver is in any orientation. Methods, means and processes for effective and efficient bit storage and release of bits for use by an operator.
