Abstract: A lock assembly includes a casing, a blocking unit, and a lock unit. The blocking unit includes a blocking member operable to move between an open position and a block position. The lock unit includes an engaging member, an electric unlock module, and a manual unlock module. The engaging member has a main body having first and second abutment portions, and is movable between an engaging position for engaging the blocking member when the blocking member is in the block position, and an unlocked position for disengaging from the blocking member. One of the electric unlock module and the manual unlock module is operable to abut a push member thereof against a corresponding one of the first and second abutment portions to linearly move the engaging member.

Abstract: A switch control device includes a casing, a motor, a control unit, and a push arm. The casing includes a mounting wall adapted to be mounted on a mounting surface, and a surrounding wall extending transversely from the mounting wall. The motor is disposed in the casing and has a rotary shaft extending through the surrounding wall. The control unit is connected to the motor. The push arm is disposed outside of the surrounding wall and is coupled to the rotary shaft so as to be driven to rotate relative to the casing without touching the casing, between a pushing state and a release state, thereby controlling the switch.

Abstract: A switch device includes a moving unit, a manual unit, a plurality of securing members and an actuating mechanism. The moving unit includes a ring gear, first and second sliding members, and a first connecting member. The first and second sliding members are slidable relative to the ring gear and respectively in mutually perpendicular directions. The securing members extend through the first connecting member and the first sliding member into the manual unit for securing the first sliding member between the first connecting member and the manual unit. The actuating mechanism is co-movably connected to the second sliding member and is adapted for actuating operation of a lock mechanism.

Abstract: A door mount mechanism is to be mounted onto a door for rotating a thumb turn of a door lock. The door mount mechanism includes a casing, a rotatable component and an intermediate coupling. The casing is for abutting against the door, and defines a receiving space that is adapted for receiving the door lock. The rotatable component is coupled rotatably to the casing.
