  • Patent number: 9991936
    Abstract: Lock arrangement and method for transferring electrical power with a lock arrangement that includes a counterpart of the lock and an electrical lock including a lock case. A device for wirelessly sending electrical power to the lock case and/or into connection with the lock case is arranged in connection with the counterpart of the lock, and arranged in the lock case and/or in connection with the lock case are a device for wirelessly receiving electrical power from the device for sending electrical power that is arranged in connection with the counterpart of the lock. The counterpart of the lock wirelessly sends electrical power to the lock case and/or into connection with the lock case with the device that is for sending electrical power, and the lock case wirelessly receives electrical power from the counterpart of the lock with the device that is for receiving electrical power, when the lock and the counterpart of the lock are at a certain distance from each other.

  • Patent number: 9721412
    Abstract: Lock arrangement including a counterpart of the lock and a lock with a lock case. The lock case, which can be installed in a door, includes a locking latch and a latch mechanism, which includes an electrical device for opening and/or closing the locking latch. The counterpart of the lock can be installed in the frame of the door. A device for wirelessly sending electrical power to the lock case and/or into connection with the lock case is arranged in the counterpart of the lock; a mechanism is arranged in connection with the lock case for wirelessly receiving electrical power from the device for sending electrical power that is arranged in connection with the counterpart of the lock. Electrical power is arranged to be transmitted from the device for sending electrical power to the mechanism for receiving electrical power, when the lock case and the counterpart of the lock are at a certain distance from each other.
