Application No. 10/079,706
The rose 38 comprises a cup shaped trim member which has a generally radially
disposed portion 60 and a non-circular peripheral portion 62. An aperture 64 formed in
the portion 60 receives the sleeve 30 therethrough and has a diameter substantially
equal to the diameter of the opening 50 in the outer rose liner 34. The rose 38 also has
a plurality of axially inwardly struck projections 65 near the aperture 64 for engaging the
outer rose liner 34 within associated recesses 59. The outer thimble 42 which retains
the outer rose 38 and the outer rose liner 34 in assembly with the sleeve 30 comprises
a generally cylindrical tubular member, internally threaded at its inner end to threadably
engage the threaded portion 44 of spindle 30. The thimble 42 has an inner end portion
66 the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the remainder of the thimble
and substantially equal to the diameter of the aperture 64 and the opening 50, as best
shown in Figure 3. The thimble 42 has a radially disposed axially inwardly facing
shoulder 68 adjacent its inner end portion 66 and a pair of diametrically opposed axially
inwardly opening slots 70, 70 formed in its inner end portion 66 which respectively
receive the tabs 52 and 54. When the lock assembly 10 is assembled on the door 12
the shoulder 68 engages the outer rose 38, which overlies the outer rose liner 34, to
retain the outer rose 38 and the outer rose liner 34 in engagement with the outer face of
the door 12. The shoulder 68 also overlies and substantially covers the projections 65,
thereby concealing the connection between the outer rose 38 and outer rose liner 34.
