Abstract: A programmable solid-state relay includes a base module; a configuration module; a control voltage module having an energy storage device; a controller module having at least two microcontrollers, each having an internal EEPROM memory and at least one digital timer; and at least one switch module including at least one switching circuit having first and second switching contacts. The control voltage module is adapted to receive an applied control voltage and to permit pre-selection of an activation voltage level and a de-activation voltage level.

Abstract: A locking arrangement comprising: (a) a handle assembly; (b) a primary locking mechanism comprising: (i) a locking bar movable between an extended latching position and a retracted release position, whereby when the locking bar is in the retracted release position the handle assembly is movable between a locked condition and an unlocked condition; and (ii) an actuator means which acts upon the locking bar to move the locking bar between the extended latching position and the retracted release position; (c) a secondary locking mechanism which acts independently upon the locking bar to move the locking bar between the extended latching position and the retracted release position; and (d) at least one biased catch means to releasably retain the locking bar in either the extended latching position or the retracted release position.

Abstract: A locking arrangement comprising: a handle assembly; a primary locking mechanism comprising a locking bar having a first shoulder and a second shoulder, which bar is movable between an extended locking position and a retracted release position, whereby when the locking bar is in the retracted release position, the handle assembly is movable “between a latched condition and an unlatched condition; a secondary locking mechanism having an override means, wherein when the override means is independently urged against the first and/or second shoulder of the locking bar, the locking bar is reversibly movable between the extended locking position and the retracted release position; and a biased catch means to releasably retain the locking bar in either the extended locking position or the retracted release position.

Abstract: A two-part coupler suitable for attaching a compression latch accessory (200) an actuator (100) comprising a first coupler member (110) securable to the actuator and being adapted to co-act directly with a second coupler member (220) securable to the accessory, wherein in use rotation of the actuator activates the accessory.

Abstract: A closure means comprising a dish, having a perimeter flange, at least one side wall, a dish floor and a recessed area defined by the at least one side wall and the dish floor; and an opening formed in the dish floor of suitable size and shape to receive at least a part of a correspondingly shaped latching mechanism therethrough, wherein the latching mechanism comprises a non-rotatory outer housing and a rotatable inner actuator and wherein any gap existing between the opening and the latching mechanism is substantially reduced to minimise any fluid leakage therethrough.

Abstract: A swing handle assembly (500) comprising a swing handle member (510) and a supporting frame (520) therefore where when the handle member substantially contacts the frame, the handle assembly is in a closed condition. The handle member (510) comprises at least an outer surface (511) and two side walls (512), each side wall including an opening (513) therein wherein the openings are substantially aligned to define a passageway (513) through the handle member. The supporting frame (520) bears a capture means (521), which capture means is substantially receivable within the handle member and is in substantial alignment with the passageway therethrough when the handle assembly is in the closed condition, such, that to then place the handle assembly in a locked condition, a separate securing means (900) is able to be passed through the passageway and the capture means.
