  • Lever lock safety device
    Patent number: 4593545
    Abstract: The levers (5) of a lock which retain a bolt (3) in its locking position are prevented from moving to release the bolt by a latching member (12) in its latching position. The latching member (12) is movable along a guide (10) to an unlatching position by action of a solenoid (15). Insertion of the key (6) into the lock operates a switch (20) which actuates a timer operating the solenoid after a delay.
