20080202175 | Lock - In a lock of a door, a window or such like with a basic lock and at least an auxiliary locking device and at least a first actuation arrangement for locking the lock, a second actuation arrangement separate from the first actuation arrangement is provided for unlocking the lock. | 08-28-2008 |
20080209961 | LOCK MECHANISM - In a sidewall of a connector frame, a cantilevered lock arm is provided. A lower end of the lock arm is connected to the sidewall with a curved supporting unit interposed therebetween. The lock arm extends upward from the supporting unit with a space. The supporting unit has a slit to increase the flexibility of the lock arm. An engagement protrusion is provided on the lock arm. Moreover, a fitting sidewall is provided in a box body, and a lock wall having a lock protrusion is provided outside the fitting sidewall. The lock protrusion includes a downward-facing engagement surface. A mold hole used in molding the engagement surface is formed between the fitting sidewall and lock wall. An abutment surface is provided at an upper end of the fitting sidewall and contacted with the supporting unit to close communication between the mold hole and the slit. | 09-04-2008 |
20080236212 | ZIPPER LOCK - A zipper lock includes a combination lock, a pin tumbler lock, a swivel member and two latches. The swivel member is disengaged from the latches for allowing movement of the latches when the combination lock shows the correct permutation. The pin tumbler lock has an actuating block rotatable with the key to move the swivel member away from the latches for allowing movement of the latches so as to enable the pull-tabs of the zipper be inserted into or pulled away from a lock housing of the zipper lock. Therefore, the user is allowed to selectively unlock the zipper lock either by means of the combination lock or the pin tumbler lock. | 10-02-2008 |
20080256992 | Two Point Lock for Doors and Windows - A two point lock includes two pivotally mounted security hooks having sliding faces that engage sliding faces of a spring-loaded mishandling pin when the mishandling pin is vertically extended and the security hooks are rotatably retracted. The mishandling pin is vertically retracted when it abuts a jamb. When the mishandling pin is vertically retracted, the sliding faces disengage so that the security hooks can rotate to lock onto a striker on the jamb. Thus, the mishandling pin prevents the security hooks from being slammed into the striker before a door or a window is fully closed. | 10-23-2008 |

An arm assembly coupled to the container top is moveable between an extended engaged position to retain the container top on the container and a collapsed disengaged position to allow release of the container top from the container. A disengaged unlocked shield slidably engages into the container top and may be locked into an engaged locked position to retain the container top in the selective closed locked position and overlie a release mechanism for the arm assembly. | 10-08-2009 |
20100154489 | LOCKING PADDLE HANDLE LATCH ASSEMBLY FOR CLOSURES AND THE LIKE - A locking paddle handle assembly for closures has a housing with a paddle handle pivotally mounted therein, a latch which latches and unlatches the closure upon rotation of the paddle handle, and a exterior key lock with a movable member that shifts between locked and unlocked positions. A latch lock selectively engages the latch, such that when the movable key lock member is in the locked position, the latch is retained in the latched position, wherein the closure cannot be opened. A deadbolt lock selectively engages the closure frame in the locked position to positively retain the closure closed. Both the latch lock and the deadbolt lock are operably connected with the movable key lock member, such that movement of the latter between the latched and unlatched positions contemporaneously shifts both the latch lock and the deadbolt lock between the locked and unlocked positions. | 06-24-2010 |

20110083480 | LOCK DEVICE - The present disclosure relates to a lock device, such as for safety functions, which includes a displaceable lock bolt, which can cooperate with a receiver in order to provide a locked position and unlocked position. The lock bolt includes a guide portion in a second lock bolt portion which, in response to a guiding device applying a force to the lock bolt, guides the lock bolt from the unlocked position to the locked position. The guiding device, in the locked position, is prevented from displacing the lock bolt to the unlocked position. The lock bolt is arranged to be displaced from the locked position to the unlocked position through influence of an external force applied to a first lock bolt portion. | 04-14-2011 |
20110126598 | REMOTELY OPERATED LOCKING PADDLE HANDLE LATCH ASSEMBLY FOR CLOSURES AND THE LIKE - A locking paddle handle assembly for closures has a housing with a paddle handle pivotally mounted therein, a latch which latches and unlatches the closure upon rotation of the paddle handle, and a exterior key lock with a movable member that shifts between locked and unlocked positions. A deadbolt lock selectively engages the closure frame in the locked position to positively retain the closure closed. The deadbolt lock is operably connected with the movable key lock member, such that movement of the latter between the latched and unlatched positions contemporaneously shifts the deadbolt lock between the locked and unlocked positions.

20120174633 | REMOTELY OPERATED LOCKING PADDLE HANDLE LATCH ASSEMBLY - A locking paddle handle assembly for closures has a housing with a paddle handle pivotally mounted therein, a latch which latches and unlatches the closure upon rotation of the paddle handle, and an exterior key lock with a movable member that shifts between locked and unlocked positions. A deadbolt lock selectively engages the closure frame in the locked position to positively retain the closure closed. The deadbolt lock is operably connected with the movable key lock member, such that movement of the latter between the latched and unlatched positions contemporaneously shifts the deadbolt lock between the locked and unlocked positions. A remotely operable controller may be mounted either horizontally or vertically relative the handle assembly and is operably connected to a multi-armed lock cam to power shift the deadbolt lock between the locked and unlocked positions from a remote location. | 07-12-2012 |
20120186310 | LOCK SYSTEM FOR VEHICLES AND THE LIKE - A lock system is provided having a lock housing and a lock barrel, a keeper shoulder, at least one full positioner shoulder, and a positioner shoulder. A lock plug is received in the barrel for rotation between locked and unlocked positions, a keyway and tumblers. The tumblers may include a key tumbler, a positioner tumbler and a keeper tumbler. The lock plug is rotatable between a first rotary position and a second rotary position. A control key is received into the keyway to retract the lock tumbler and the keeper tumbler. Included is a partial positioner shoulder, and includes a cutout portion. Removal of the lock plug from the lock barrel requires insertion of the control key in the keyway in the first rotary position and rotation of the control key and the lock plug to the second rotary position. | 07-26-2012 |
20120324963 | Motor locking system to prevent unauthorized manual operation of automatic gates - A lock module housing containing the components of a preferred embodiment is physically mounted to the rear of a gate drive motor of an automatic gate system. A solenoid front shaft, when the solenoid is de-energized, is pushed into a sprocket attached to the drive motor, thus preventing the motor shaft from turning. To release the drive motor, the solenoid is energized. The solenoid rear shaft contacts a limit switch to indicate to the controller that the drive motor is indeed unlocked. When the controller is about to move the gate, energizing the solenoid retracts the shaft and allows normal operation of the gate control system. At the end of the gate cycle, the solenoid is de-energized and the drive motor is once again locked. In the case of a manual release, a key lock is turned from a first position to a second position to unlock the motor shaft. A mechanical linkage arm attached to the key lock pulls the solenoid shaft to its energized position, which in turn contacts the limit switch. The gate can then be back driven manually. | 12-27-2012 |
