Abstract: A lock with an electromechanical coupling device, which only consumes little electrical power, comprises an operating handle which constantly is in operative connection with a drive member of an electromechanical coupling device and upon recognition of an authentication code makes an operative connection with a driven member, which in turn is in constant operative connection with the operating mechanism of the lock. The drive member and the driven member of the coupling device are each spring-loaded into a rest position and can be coupled via a locking mechanism, which by means of an electromechanical transducer can be switched between a disengaged position and an engaged position.

Abstract: A closure device for a case of an antimagnetic material comprising a box part (1) and a sliding lid (5) requires neither in the lid nor in the box part break-throughs and offers high security against unauthorized opening of the case when at least one permanent magnetic locking pin (4a, 4b) is arranged slideable in the box part (1) at right angles to the plane of the lid (5), and is loaded in the direction of the lid (e.g. by means of a spring) so that the locking pin clasps behind a locking shoulder (6a, 6b; 66) configured on the inner side of the lid when closed. For opening the lid (5) an unlocking plate (7) may then be used comprising at the corresponding location a permanent magnet (8a, 8b) which is magnetized opposite the direction of magnetization of the locking pin (4a, 4b).

Abstract: A locking mechanism of the key lock type or code lock type for installation in a door of a vault or safe, includes at least one locking bolt for movement between a locking position in which a door is locked and an unlocking position in which the door is released for opening, an electromechanical actuator connected to the locking bolt for moving the locking bolt between the locking position and the unlocking position, a time delay circuit so interacting with the actuator as to delay operation of the actuator for a specified time period, with the time delay circuit being so positioned as to be inaccessible upon closed door and including an activation input for cooperation with a switch accessible from outside such that the time delay circuit is activated.
