Publication number: 20240144755Abstract: Access control electronics for wireless locks comprise one or more battery operated radios that receive access control codes. The wireless accessed locks locate the electronic components, circuits, sensors and antennas and many of the lock components away from the container being secured and closer to the operator/user. The disclosed access control electronics combine a proximity detection circuit comprising sensor pads and a capacitive sensing circuit and one or more short-range radio frequency antennas for reading RFID devices. The proximity sensor pads are in close proximity with the antennas, without the antennas interfering with the proximity sensing process, and the sensor pads to not attenuate the signals between the RFID devices and the antennas after the RFID devices are detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: William D. Denison, Calin V. Roatis, Thaddeus A. Meizelis, Daniel R. Michelson, Gabriel Ribu

Publication number: 20220298829Abstract: A lock includes a housing assembly, an actuatable lock assembly and a latching assembly. The actuatable lock assembly is positionable in a closed orientation and an open orientation. The latching assembly includes a latch, a cam and a motor. The latch, having a cam profile, is movable between a locked and an unlocked position. The cam is rotatably mounted and has a first follower configured to intermittently coact with the cam profile of the latch, to, in turn, move the latch between the locked position and the unlocked position. The motor is coupled to the cam. Actuation of the motor causes rotation of the cam, resulting in movement of the latch between the locked and unlocked positions. The actuatable lock assembly includes a catch member that is configured to pivot about a pivot axle, wherein the latch controls the pivoting of the catch member, selectively precluding and allowing the same.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2022Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Calin Roatis, Gabriel Ribu, William D.

Publication number: 20220259893Abstract: A lock comprising a housing assembly, an actuatable lock assembly and a locking shell assembly. The housing assembly has a cavity and a bore. The actuatable lock assembly is rotatable between a closed orientation and an open orientation, and includes an outer body and an inner body. The inner body has a knob and an elongated shaft with an axial pin that interfaces with a slot in the outer body. The locking shell assembly has a shell housing bore extending therethrough. A rear portion of the shell housing has a slot with a longitudinal first portion and a transverse second portion. The axial pin is slidably movable along the longitudinal first portion and slidably movable along the transverse second portion upon rotation of the inner body relative to the shell housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: William D.

Patent number: 10676965Abstract: Locks for storage containers having closures such as doors, covers or lids are disclosed. The lock is mounted to the closure and is latched in such a manner as to selectively prevent opening or removal of the closure. The latch of the lock can engage a slot in the storage container, a bracket on the storage container, or a strike on the storage container. Alternatively, the latch can engage a mounting bracket on the door or other portion of the door to selectively block movement of a handle for the door. Further, the latch can have a locking device which can selectively block movement of the latch. Movement of the locking device can be selectively controlled by a magnetic key.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: TriTeq Lock and Security, L.L.C.Inventors: Calin V.
