  • Patent number: 8136377
    Abstract: A card lock structure for selectively locking or releasing a lock barrel includes a card lock casing and a card barrel limiting mechanism. The card lock casing has a card-inserting groove. The card barrel limiting mechanism has a lock barrel limiting push rod pivotally disposed in the card lock casing, an elastic element disposed between the card lock casing and the lock barrel limiting push rod, and a movable pressing unit for pressing the lock barrel limiting push rod. One end of the lock barrel limiting push rod projects outside the card lock casing in order to selectively lock or release the lock barrel. When a card passes through the card-inserting groove to push the movable pressing unit to release the lock barrel limiting push rod, the lock barrel limited push is moved by the elasticity of the elastic element in order to release the lock barrel.

  • Patent number: 7675415
    Abstract: A method for controlling security truck door lockers and a structure for controlling security truck door lockers are disclosed. A control device is configured to control electronic lockers respectively mounted on security truck doors by means of detecting the unlocked/locked status of the electronic lockers and changing or not changing their status accordingly, and then informing users of the locker's current status. The electronic locker includes a substrate, a fastener, a stopper, a micro switch, and a locker core. When a bolt of the door fastens the fastener, the stopper horizontally moves to contact a bottom of the fastener by means of controlling the operation of the micro switch, or the locker core drives an engagement portion to contact the fastener so that the fastener is fastened and the locker is locked.

  • Patent number: 7377139
    Abstract: A cabinet lock includes a lock shell, a lock frame and a restricting device. The lock shell defines a card insertion space, the lock frame includes a slide portion, a hasp portion, an initiative portion and a core, the hasp portion defines a slide groove, the initiative portion is fixed to the hasp portion within the slide groove. The core extends into the main shell to contact with the hasp portion. A block and a protruding portion are defined where the lock block moves away from the stop portion by an external force displacing the extruding portion. Thus, the key can be removed from the core when the card is inserted, and the block locks the card and does not permit removal of the card. The card can be removed when the key is inserted into the core which avoids the loss of the card and the key together.

  • Publication number: 20060248932
    Abstract: A compound locking device has a casing, and a combination locking mechanism and a key locking mechanism disposed in different positions in the casing. The combination locking mechanism has a plurality of pairs of figure wheels and positioning cam sleeves. Each positioning cam sleeve has a limiting portion. All the limiting portions will form a large limiting groove if all figures are correct. The key locking mechanism has a lock body, a first bushing, a second bushing, and a tongue plate. The first bushing is linked with the lock body to be rotatable. The first and second bushings are connected together by means of wedge grafting. The first bushing is rotated to leave the second bushing for embedding the tongue plate into the large limiting groove. The lock body can thus drive the first bushing to rotate for unlocking the compound locking device.
