Abstract: An integrated latch apparatus for a securing and releasing computer equipment from a chassis includes a support bracket, a rotating shaft, a sliding plate having a latching extension, and a handle having a rotating end. The handle is secured at the rotating end to the support bracket about the rotating shaft. The rotating end of the handle includes nudging extensions. A torsion spring is disposed on the rotating shaft such that the torsion spring biases the support bracket against the handle such that the handle is in an open position when the torsion spring is extended towards an equilibrium state and in a closed position when the torsion spring is biased toward a fully compressed state. The nudging extensions engage and laterally move a sliding plate when the handle is rotated between the open position and the closed position.

Abstract: A cabinet lock includes a latch configured to translate between extended and retracted positions and a lever configured to rotate between engaged and disengaged positions.

The guiding element has a central orifice, the movable element has a guiding orifice, and the acting element has a slidable post. The frame includes a defining orifice and is welded with the holding plate. The connection seat is received in the defining orifice and includes a retaining portion. After the connection seat is received in the defining orifice, the retaining portion is engaged with a fastening ring.

Abstract: A tamper proof locking mechanism incorporating a first fixture for attachment to an index protective cover, a second fixture for attachment to an instrument, and a third fixture for connecting the first fixture to the second fixture. The first fixture may have a receptacle, the second fixture may have a plate with an opening, and the third fixture may have a protrusive structure that fits into the receptacle of the first fixture and into the opening in the plate to connect the first fixture to the second fixture. The protrusive structure may have a rivet that is partially embedded with a plastic-like material that reveals tampering when an attempt is made to break a connection between the first fixture and the second fixture.

Abstract: The electronic access control strike can have a bolt socket, a bolt path leading to bolt socket, a keeper movably mounted to a frame in a manner to be moveable into and out of interference with the bolt path, a cam member moveable for selectively blocking or unblocking the movement of the keeper, and an anti-preload member which is moveable into interference between the keeper and the cam member for preventing the keeper from conveying a preload force onto the cam member when the cam member is in the blocking position, and moveable out from interference between the keeper and the cam member when the cam member is in the unblocking position to allow the keeper to be moved out from interference with the bolt path.

Abstract: A lockable bolt device for an interior of a door. The lockable bolt device includes a door attachment plate having a horizontal aperture therethrough, configured to securely attach to the door, and a jamb attachment plate having two horizontal apertures therethrough, configured to securely attach to a door jamb. The jamb attachment plate also includes a vertical aperture therethrough, such that the vertical aperture is configured to removably accept an angled bolt therethrough for storage of the angled bolt when the lockable bolt device is in an unlocked configuration. When the door is in a closed position and the horizontal apertures are aligned, the two plates are configured to accept the angled bolt through the horizontal apertures to secure the door in the closed position. The lockable bolt device is useful to prevent an individual from passing through the door from an exterior of the door.

Abstract: A door lock includes a lock with a latch. An inside face plate and an outside face plate of the door lock are respectively mounted to an inside plate and an outside plate of the door lock. A washer plate is sandwiched between the inside face plate and the outside face plate. An inside cylinder and an outside cylinder are connected between the inside plate and the outside plate. An inside collar is connected between the inside face plate and the inside cylinder, and an outside collar is connected between the outside face plate and the outside cylinder. When the door lock is set in ready-to-open mold, the door can be opened by either rotating the shafts or the door handle by one hand. When the door lock is set in locked mold, the door cannot be opened by simply rotating the door handle.

Abstract: A door latch for an electrical domestic appliance includes a rotary member arranged to be rotationally movable between a closing rotational position and a release rotational position and is spring-biased in the direction towards the release rotational position, a movably arranged catch that is in an arresting engagement with the rotary member when the rotary member is in the closing rotational position, and a locking assembly that includes a movable locking member movable between an unlocking position and a locking position. The arresting engagement is releasable by an overlifting rotational movement of the rotary member. The rotary member is rotationally movable between a closing rotational position and a release rotational position and is spring-biased in the direction towards the release rotational position. The locking member, when transferred from the unlocking position into the opening position, causes the arresting engagement of the catch with the rotary member to be released.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a symmetrical and reversible-clutch mortise lock comprising a central follower, a pair of symmetrical lateral followers, each one located on one side of the central follower to be activated by square bars of handles, a spacer which makes the movement of the two lateral followers independent and a motor, which connects to an actuation lever and which is activated when an access code is validated. The lock further comprises a clutch housed and guided in an accumulator arm able to move linearly to be housed in both lateral followers such that the corresponding lateral follower, when activated by the motion of the door handle, pushes the clutch until it makes contact with the central follower and activates the latch of the lock.

Abstract: A latch mechanism includes a handle connected to a pin by a linkage. The linkage converts rotation of the handle relative to a frame into axial movement of the pin between extended and retracted positions relative to the frame. The pin engages with a pre-load adjustment mechanism in the extended position to apply a pre-load through the linkage that biases the pin toward the extended position. The pre-load adjustment mechanism is adjustable to set the pre-load through the linkage to a predetermined value as selected by a user.
