Abstract: A lock having a bolt movable between an open position and a closed position by a control element. The control element is associated with a lifting magnet. The magnet locks the control element in closing position with a locking element and moves the locking element to release the closure, from the closed position to the open position. This invention enhances the reliability of the closing process of such a lock while enabling a simple construction. Thus, the lifting magnet is associated with an actuating part, the actuating part comprises a projection which can be actuated by the actuating part and the actuating part releases the lifting magnet from the opening position with the projection.

Abstract: A fastening mechanism for a cover, door or the like, hinged on a body, frame or the like, wherein a locking element is fixedly attached to the body, frame or the like. The cover, door or the like supports an actuating element which controls a locking mechanism that can be disengaged from the locking element during opening and engaged with the locking element during closing. To assure an easy operation of such a fastening mechanism, while at the same time assuring locking, the actuating element can be moved from the closed position to the open position by a pulling force acting generally perpendicularly relative to the connecting plane defined by the cover, door or the like.

Abstract: A lock with a bolt, which can be displaced by an actuating element between an opened position and a locked position, wherein a blocking piece, which blocks the actuating element in the locked position, is assigned to the actuating element, and wherein the blocking piece can be moved from the locked position into the opened position by a solenoid. In order to assure a dependable operation of such a lock, the blocking piece can be moved out of the opened position into the locked position by a manually operable actuating part. A switching element emits a switching signal when the blocking piece reaches the locking position, or makes a transition from the opened position into the locked position.

Abstract: A propping support for a chest, having a lid rest fastened on an inside surface of the lid of a chest, and a wall rest connected with the body of the chest. The lid rest and the wall rest are connected by a support device which secures the lid of the chest in a flipped-open position. To improve operational safety, the propping support has a spring holder with a spring element. An actuating element, which is prestressed by a spring against the spring element, can be displaced in a guide between two tilt positions of the chest lid when the lid of the chest is closed. The lid rest and the wall rest are coupled to the spring holder by swivel bearings.

Abstract: A fastening mechanism for a cover, door or the like, hinged on a body, frame or the like, wherein a locking element is fixedly attached to the body, frame or the like. The cover, door or the like supports an actuating element. The actuating element controls a locking mechanism, which can be disengaged from the locking element during opening and engaged with the locking element during closing. The operation of the fastening mechanism is simplified and an assured locking in the closed position is achieved because the locking element is embodied as a locking bolt on the body, frame and the like, in particular for furniture. The actuating element is adjustable relative to the cover, door or the like and controls a locking mechanism, on the inside, which includes a locking lever and a rotatably seated locking claw. The locking claw is held in a receiving position for the insertion of the locking bolt in the open position of the fastening mechanism.

Abstract: A mounting element with a connecting pin and a fastening sleeve, wherein the fastening sleeve can be fixed in place in a bore of a workpiece. So that the mounting element can be dependably and securely mounted, the connecting pin is held in a pre-plug-in position in a receptacle of the fastening sleeve. The connecting pin has a detent which, in the pre-plug-in position, rests against a shoulder of the fastening sleeve, and rests against the fastening sleeve in the direction of the insertion movement of the connecting pin into the fastening sleeve. The connecting pin and/or the fastening sleeve has a triggering device, by which the connection between the connecting pin and the fastening sleeve can be released.

Abstract: A mounting element used in furniture building which is inserted into a bore of a furniture element and fixed in place therein. The mounting element includes a fastening sleeve and a connecting pin wherein the fastening sleeve is divided into deflectable holding springs and is inserted into the bore of the furniture element. The holding springs have tooth elements on an exterior and enclose a centered receptacle for the connecting pin. The connecting pin has a fastening receptacle or threaded receptacle and is connected in one piece with the fastening sleeve by gates which act as predetermined breaking points. The connecting pin is secured by the gates in a prepared position, ready to be driven. A connecting pin produced separately from the fastening sleeve is secured by partially inserting the connecting pin into the receptacle of the fastening sleeve in a prepared position, ready to be driven.
