Abstract: An adjustable sliding bolt (16) for a lock, comprising a first part (17) guided for reciprocating sliding movement along a first plane relative to a housing (11) of the lock, and a second part (23) operatively connected to the first part and having a first and a second end. The second end has an abutment surface (24) located in a second plane substantially parallel to the first plane. The second part (23) is integral with the first part (17) and hingedly connected thereto at its first end by a reduced material thickness portion (26). An adjustment screw (32) is provided between the first part and the second part at a distance from its first end. The screw is operative to positively move the second end and the abutment surface (24) two opposite directions perpendicular to the first and second planes.

Abstract: A lock for a swinging door comprises a lock casing having a fore-end and at least a first side wall. A first bolt is spring-loaded for engagement with a stationary engagement member of a door case or the like and is movable between a locking position in which it does not extend beyond the fore-end, and an open position, in which it is retracted into the lock casing. The lock casing has an opening in its fore-end and its first side wall, said opening enabling engagement between the stationary engagement member and the first bolt in its locking position.

Abstract: A keeper and a latch secures a first member such as a door panel against a second member such as a corresponding frame. The keeper is adapted for attachment to the second member and engages the latch in a fastened position.

Abstract: A method for communication over a network, such as the Internet, including the steps of retrieving at least audio signals, digitising the signals into digital signals, transferring the digital signals to broadcasting means and making the digital signals accessible over a network, such as the Internet.

Abstract: A follower arrangement for a lock having two equally shaped followers rotatable a limited angle by a common shaft operable by at least one handle to retract a latch bolt of the lock. Each follower has one wing portion having an operative abutment surface. The operative abutment surface of the followers are located on opposite sides of the shaft, such that the operative abutment surface of a first follower contacts a shoulder of a first leg of the latch bolt directed in a first direction, and such that the operative abutment surface of a second follower contacts a shoulder of a second leg of the latch bolt directed in a second direction opposite to said first direction.

Abstract: A lock has a holding bolt and a retaining member for yieldably retaining the holding bolt in its bolting and its release position and for positively preventing the bolt from withdrawal from the lock unless a fastening member attaching a forend of the lock to the lock case is at least partly released.

Abstract: A latch secures a first member such as a door panel against a second member such as a corresponding frame. The latch comprises a housing for mounting in the first member, a pawl adapted for engaging a keeper in a latched position on the second member and latch actuating means for selectively moving the pawl into a position away from the keeper in order to allow the first member to be opened.

Abstract: A locking device comprises a lock assembly which is received in a housing adapted to be mounted in a recess in an edge of a sliding panel. The lock assembly contacts a closure member, such as jamb or similar panel, and a latch member is adapted to be mounted in the closure member. The locking device is primarily, but not exclusively, intended for use in connection with yacht hatches.
