  • Patent number: 4472952
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system that inherently manages the issuance and return of selected articles such as keys, tools, and the like to a retaining or central station.

More particularly, the system comprises a retaining station where the selected articles are normally maintained in a locked state. An unlocking key is provided for unlocking selected articles in order that the articles may be removed from the retaining station. To encourage the return of removed articles, the retaining station is provided with a key holding and locking assembly for retaining the unlocking key until the removed article has been returned back to the retaining station and placed in the locked mode.

  • Patent number: 4419712
    Abstract: An electronic door locking system for an automotive vehicle with which vehicle doors can be locked, by depressing a proper push-button type switch representative of a predetermined door-locking digit, only when an ignition key is brought near the switch. Therefore, it is possible to lock vehicle doors without leaving the ignition key in the keyhole, with the result that the vehicle can be prevented from being stolen by a thief when parked. The electronic door locking system according to present invention comprises means for detecting the presence of the ignition key brought near the switch and an AND gate for passing a locking command signal to a door lock/unlock actuating solenoid only when the presence of the key is detected, in addition to the conventional electronic door locking system.
