Patent number: 11428029Abstract: A locking module for selectively coupling a first component and a second component of a lockable device includes a locking element including a plurality of locking fingers movable between an open position and a closed position. The plurality of locking fingers being biased to said open position. A biasing mechanism is coupled to said locking element and a compression force applied by said biasing mechanism to said plurality of locking fingers controls movement of said plurality of locking fingers between said open position and said closed position. An actuator associated with said biasing mechanism is operable to control said compression force to selectively lock said locking element.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2018Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: CARRIER CORPORATIONInventor: Matthew S. Hill

Patent number: 11326368Abstract: A lead screw latch mechanism is provided and includes a gate check rotatable to assume locked and unlocked positions, a housing defining lock and unlock grooves and a key container. The key container includes a boss and is biased away from the gate check and selectively movable toward the gate check through the housing with the gate check assuming the locked position whereby the boss, having been received in the lock groove, is prevented from exiting the lock groove and the unlocked position whereby the boss, having been received in the lock groove, is permitted to exit the lock groove. The lead screw latch mechanism further includes an elastic assembly which, with the boss exited from the lock groove, drives key container rotation toward a rotational position at which the boss is aligned with the unlock groove.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2018Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: CARRIER CORPORATIONInventor: Matthew S.

Patent number: 9810002Abstract: A lock box is provided including a base plate. A back cover is mounted to the base plate and includes a first internal compartment. A first end of a connector is mounted within the first internal compartment and a second end of the connector, including an inlet, is selectively retained within the first internal compartment. A retention mechanism is configured to rotate between an unlatched and a latched position to selectively retain the second end of the connector. A front cover coupled to the base plate is movable between a closed and open position. When the front cover is in the closed position, the front cover limits movement of the retention mechanism between the latched and unlatched positions.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2015Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Carrier CorporationInventor: Matthew S. Hill

Patent number: 9708832Abstract: A lock core for a lock assembly is provided including a housing having a first end. An operating member is configured to move between a retracted position and an extended position. When the operating member is in the retracted position, the operating member is at least partially recessed within the housing. A control member is arranged within the housing and is configured to selectively limit movement of the operating member between the retracted position and the extended position. The control member is operably coupled to the controller via an actuator.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2014Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: UTC FIRE & SECURITY CORPORATIONInventors: Lawrence Binek, Ritesh Khire, Andrzej Ernest Kuczek, Ulf J.
