Abstract: A rekeyable lock cylinder with a cylinder body and a plug assembly. The lock cylinder includes a plurality of key followers and a corresponding plurality of racks disposed in the plug assembly. Disengaging the racks from the key followers allows rekeying of the lock cylinder.

Abstract: A lockset with a latch assembly having a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The lockset includes a motor configured to move the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position. A controller is provided that is configured to electronically control the motor to control movement of the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position responsive to receiving a valid authentication from an authentication device. The lockset includes a receiver connected to an antenna to detect an incoming wireless signal transmitted from an authentication device. The controller includes an angle of arrival sensor configured to determine a distance and a direction to the authentication device by analyzing a wireless phase and timing of the incoming wireless signal transmitted by the authentication device.

Abstract: A latch includes a housing that has a first side and a second side. The latch includes a bolt assembly that is positioned at least partially within the housing. The bolt assembly includes a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position relative to at least one of the first and second sides of the housing. The bolt is biased toward at least one of the extended position and the retracted position, and the bolt is positionable so as to selectively extend from either the first side or the second of the housing in the extended position.

Abstract: A privacy lock assembly and method of operation are provided. The lock assembly has a push button offset from the central axis of the lock assembly for locking and unlocking the assembly. The lock assembly includes compression springs to maintain integrated handles in predetermined orientations when the handles are not subject to a load.

Abstract: An aquarium cleaning device for cleaning an inner surface of an aquarium wall includes a flexible cleaning body and a flexible handle member. The cleaning body and the handle member are magnetically attracted to each other. The flexibility in the cleaning body and the handle member allows the cleaning device to contour and conform to curved surfaces in the aquarium tank. The flexibility of the cleaning body and handle member are achieved by areas of flexibility having alternating recesses and fins.

Abstract: A latching handleset assembly includes a handle, a trigger, and a latch driver. The handle has a handle portion and a top mounting portion that extends from an escutcheon. The top mounting portion has a top surface and a bottom that is at least partially obscured by the handle portion. The trigger includes an exterior end located along the bottom of the top mounting portion and an interior end extending into the escutcheon. The trigger is pivotable about a pivot point positioned within the escutcheon. The latch driver is movable between a neutral position and a latch actuating position in response to actuation of the trigger.

Abstract: A lockset that includes a latch assembly, an interior assembly and an exterior assembly. The latch assembly includes a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The interior assembly is configured to electronically control movement of the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position. The exterior assembly includes a locking assembly configured to be mechanically coupled with the latch assembly. The interior assembly includes an interior wireless communication unit and the exterior assembly includes an exterior wireless communication unit that is configured to wirelessly communicate therebetween. In some embodiments, an exterior assembly includes a photovoltaic cell and the interior assembly includes a light source. The light source and the solar cell are configured for wirelessly communicating and for power transmission between the exterior and interior assemblies through a bore hole in the door.

Abstract: A privacy lock assembly and method of operation are provided. The lock assembly has a push button offset from the central axis of the lock assembly for locking and unlocking the assembly. The lock assembly includes compression springs to maintain integrated handles in predetermined orientations when the handles are not subject to a load.

Abstract: A feeding device for feeding aquarium fish includes a housing, a rotatable drum, and a removable and replaceable food cartridge secured to and rotatable with the drum.

Abstract: A hair dryer assembly generally comprises a hair dryer and a discharge housing. The hair dryer includes a body defining a cavity, an inlet for airflow to enter the cavity, and an outlet for airflow to exit the cavity. The discharge housing is configured to receive the airflow from the outlet, and includes an inlet end, a closed end opposite the inlet end, and a channel wall intermediate the inlet end and the closed end. The channel wall defines a hair receiving channel and an outlet for airflow to exit the discharge housing. The channel wall extends continuously around the hair receiving channel such that hair within the channel is surrounded by the channel wall. The outlet is configured to direct airflow out of the discharge housing and towards hair within the hair receiving channel. The discharge housing also includes a sidewall extending at least partly around the channel wall.
