Abstract: An apparatus (2100), including: a hasp (2104) configured to retain a staple therein when in an engaged position (2106); an actuator (2110) that is biased toward a locking position (2112) configured to lock the hasp in the engaged position, where once the hasp is moved into the engaged position the actuator can reach the locking position; an actuator weight (2130) configured to move under the influence of gravity once the apparatus is tilted from an upright orientation by more than an actuator weight threshold amount and to disengage the actuator from the hasp upon reaching an unlocking position (2136) with sufficient force; and a time delay lock assembly (2150) configured to be initiated when the apparatus is tilted from the upright orientation by a time delay lock threshold amount of tilt and configured to prevent movement of the actuator weight only after an initiation and a time delay.

Abstract: A hasp assembly (200), having: a hasp (302) that engages a staple (404); an actuator (320) that retains the hasp in an engaged position; a first passage (410) and a first element (802) therewithin; and a second passage (412) and a second element (418) therewithin. A linear length of the second passage (L2) is greater than a linear length (L1) of the first passage. When in a tilted orientation (800) the first element is urged by gravity along the first passage and impact of the first element on the actuator releases the hasp, and the second element is urged by gravity along the second passage toward a terminal position (712) where the second element blocks the first element.

Abstract: An apparatus, having: a staple (404); and a hasp assembly (200) including: a chamber (412) including a home position (430) and a release passage (414); and a release element (328) disposed in the release passage. Forward rotation of the hasp assembly from an upright orientation (208) about a first horizontal axis (220) allows the kinetic element to move under the influence of gravity from the home position into the release passage and into contact with the release element, thereby releasing the staple.

Abstract: An apparatus (100), including: a housing (106); female threads (138) recessed into a bottom end of the housing; a through-slot (162) oriented to transverse to a longitudinal extent (908) of the housing; and an adjustment mechanism (176) configured such that adjustment of the adjustment mechanism adjusts an amount of occlusion of the through-slot.

Abstract: An apparatus, having: a first hinge part (10) including: a first plate (11); a second plate (13) with two projections defining a recess therebetween; and a hinge pin (15) exposed in the recess between the two projections; and a second hinge part (20) including: a housing (21) with a u-shaped receiver (23) configured to partly fit between the two projections and to receive the hinge pin therein and enable the housing to rotate about the hinge pin. In a closed configuration when the first hinge part is secured to a cabinet (5) and to the second hinge part, and the second hinge part is assembled to a closed cabinet door (3), the closed cabinet door is disposed between the housing and the first plate and the u-shaped receiver opens forward and away from of the cabinet thereby trapping the closed cabinet door between the cabinet and the housing.

Abstract: A security swing handle comprises a housing and a handle pivotally mounted to the housing between a closed position and an open position. A locking insert is rotatably supported in the housing and operatively connected to a latch to actuate the latch to release the handle to an open position. A hasp assembly includes a hasp at the bottom of the housing and a plate member disposed within an interior of the housing adjacent to a bottom of the latch. A pin on the locking insert is disposed within an aperture of the plate member to move the plate member against the latch to release the handle to the open position when the locking insert is rotated. If a padlock locked to the hasp is subjected to blunt force, edges of the aperture shear the pin from the locking insert disabling the locking insert.

Abstract: A handle (100), having: an escutcheon (106) having a recessed area (300); a lever (104) pivotally mounted toward the top end of the escutcheon and at least a portion of the lever is disposed within the recessed area when in a lever closed position (102); a first gear (310) operatively connected to a top side (312) of the lever and a portion of the first gear including gear teeth (320) extending through an opening (360) in the escutcheon; a second gear (324) mounted on a back (130) of the escutcheon and having cam teeth (322) that mesh with the gear teeth of the first gear; a cam latch (140) operatively connected to the second gear to rotate when the second gear rotates; and, a lock assembly (146) mounted to a bottom end (202) of the lever.

Abstract: An apparatus is presented for locking a lid to a body of a container. The apparatus includes a movable latch to open and close the lid. The apparatus also includes a strike positioned relative to the latch to lock the lid in a closed position and pivotally connected to a housing to move relative to the latch for opening the lid. The apparatus further includes a block slidably disposed within the housing to move between a first position when the container is in the upright or side position and a second position when the container is in the upside down position. The strike is operatively connected to the block to pivot to a first position to lock the lid to the body when the block is in its first position and to a second position to unlock the lid when the block is in its second position.
