Abstract: A lockset including a bolt mechanism, an exterior assembly, an interior assembly, a driving tailpiece, and a driven tailpiece. The bolt assembly includes a bolt having an extended position and a retracted position. The exterior assembly includes a rotatable exterior manual actuator. The interior assembly includes a clutch having a coupling state and a decoupling state. The driving tailpiece is connected between the exterior manual actuator and the clutch. The driven tailpiece is connected between the clutch and the bolt mechanism such that rotation of the driven tailpiece actuates the bolt assembly. In the coupling state, the clutch couples the driving tailpiece with the driven tailpiece such that the exterior manual actuator is operable to actuate the bolt assembly. In the decoupling state, the clutch decouples the driving tailpiece from the driven tailpiece such that the exterior manual actuator is inoperable to actuate the bolt assembly.

Abstract: An aircraft door locking system comprises a first locking element fastenable to a first element of an aircraft door arrangement rotatable about a rotation axis and having a receiving opening and a bearing shell. A second locking element is fastenable to a door arrangement second element and comprises a locking bolt. In a release state, the locking bolt is insertable through the receiving opening and, by a rotation of the first locking element about the rotation axis in a locking direction, is positionable in the bearing shell to effect the locking state. A torque-generating device is configured, in the locking state, to generate a torque opposing a rotation of the first locking element about the rotation axis in a release direction opposite to the locking direction if a force directed substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis is exerted on the bearing shell and/or on the locking bolt.

Abstract: A closure latch assembly for a motor vehicle closure panel is equipped with a common kinematic chain of components for a latch release mechanism utilizing a first range of handle travel to initiate a power release of a latch mechanism and further utilizing a second range of handle travel to initiate a mechanical release of the latch mechanism. An actuation rod may include a magnet that, when moved out of range of a sensor, signals to initiate the power release. In the event that the power release does not occur, further movement of the actuation rod forces the mechanical release. In both the power release and mechanical release, a pawl is rotated from a ratchet holding position to a ratchet release position.
