Abstract: A locking mechanism which includes a locking member which is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, a retaining device which is movable between a first position at which movement of the locking member from the locked position to the unlocked position is prevented and a second position at which movement of the locking member from the locked position to the unlocked position is allowed, and an actuator for moving the retaining device between the first and second positions.

Abstract: A rocking crib or cradle having a motion inducing mechanism with automatic lock. The motion inducing mechanism imparts a movement to a movable portion of the crib or cradle in relation to a longitudinal base while the lock immobilizes the movable portion in relation to the base. Operation of both the motion inducing mechanism and lock are related to one another with a timer such that the lock automatically immobilizes the movable portion of the crib when the time duration of the motion inducing mechanism is expended. A time delay switch may be connected between the timer and lock to delay operation of the lock for a preset time after the expiration of the time duration of the motion inducing mechanism. A handle may be connected to the lock to manually operate the lock to immobilize or free the movable portion of the crib in relation to the longitudinal base, such manual operation energizing or de-energizing the timer and motion inducing device accordingly.

Abstract: A merchandise container for receiving in particular highly valuable products, comprising a housing and at least one cover, whereby the cover and the housing have an electrically releasable locking system. This locking system can be released via an opening command. The locking system is continually activated and is only deactivated by an opening command during a delay time.

Abstract: A security transfer device (1) for mounting on a side wall of a building such as a bank, for example, for transferring valuables between a vehicle and the building includes a duct (2) slidably mounted in a housing (3) secured in a wall (23) of the building and movable between a retracted stored position within the housing (3) and an extended in-use position projecting outwardly of the housing (3). A releasable ratchet mechanism (4) extends between the duct (2) and housing (3) . When engaged the ratchet mechanism only permits outward movement of the duct (2), thus preventing the duct (2) from being pushed back into the housing from outside the building. A lockable door (12) closes an inner end of the housing (3). The duct (2) is also closed at it's rear end (19) by a lockable security door (20).

Abstract: A low current drain timer for bank vaults is easily settable to limit opening of the vault to a predetermined time, irrespective of the time of closing the vault. Three thumb wheels having corresponding indicia are set to designate the elapsed time necessary for reopening. A timer is activated by a reset switch and the manual repositioning of a mechanical latch, which latch permits later closure of a vault door. Either of sequentially operating solenoids at the lapsed time permit opening of the vault door. A backup battery power source renders the timer unaffected by failure of a conventional electrical power source.

Abstract: A clutch system for use in the door locking arrangement has a drive member. A latch acutating member and a permutation lock reset member are disposed on either side of the drive member. The drive member is operatively connected to the actuating means, for example a door knob or a lever handle, so that the drive member drives the latch actuating member, to retract the latch member of the door locking arrangement, when a correct combination has been inserted into the permutation lock of the door locking arrangement. When an incorrect combination has been inserted, the drive member drives the permutation lock reset member to reset the permutation lock. A linkage operatively connects both the latch operating member and the permutation lock reset member to the control shaft of the permutation lock.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a security system for a multi-unit facility such as a hotel wherein access to each unit or room is accomplished through a door structure or like closure which incorporates a separate locking assembly. The locking facility is of the keyless entry type wherein a preset code is fed into an electronically controlled lock through a plurality of finger operated switches (fingerboard) for authorized entry. Each of the actuating facilities associated with each closure is capable of having a stored preset code changed through operation of a microprocessor. Telephone lines interconnect the activating and locking facilities associated with each room to a central control facility, for example, in the office of a hotel.

Abstract: A permutation lock having pushbutton code controls and automatic cancelling of the code when the latch is operated for opening the door. An adjustable time-delay device is provided for disabling the operation of the lock after a predetermined time from when the code is inserted in the lock chamber. The time delay device disables the lock after the duration of a predetermined time.

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.

Abstract: An actuator assembly having a clutch mechanism with an input disc and an output disc. Mechanisms are provided for rotating the input disc and preventing rotation of the output disc with the input disc when the assembly is in a rest condition, and for effecting a rotation transmitting connection between the input disc and the output disc when the assembly is in an actuated condition. A mechanism is also provided for automatically returning the assembly from the actuated condition to the rest condition: (1) if the first input disc is rotated within a given time delay, upon the rotation; or (2) if the first disc is not rotated within the given time delay, upon the expiration of the time delay. Thus, the second output disc can be rotated only once within the time delay, and the second disc is not rotatable at all if the first disc is not rotated within the time delay.

Abstract: A time lock for bank vault doors and the like having timer units of the settable dial type, a bolt controlling plunger for locking and releasing a snubber bar blocking bolt mechanism, the timer units having a release pin for releasing the blocking bolt mechanism from said locking position when the dial reaches zero time position, and a shock-resistant plunger latching mechanism which will oppose by a sufficiently high counterforce the dynamic opening forces resulting from relative movements between the timing unit release pins and the locking system during shocks, but which will not oppose by any additional counterforce the normal opening forces from the release pin during normal operation in the absence of shocks, by introducing a gear train between the locking device and a relatively small mass to increase the virtual inertia of the system, introducing what appears to be a very high mass at the input of the locking device, and providing an elastic link between the input and the mass enabling the system to a

Abstract: A time delay combination lock having the usual combination mechanism including a stack of rotatable tumbler wheels journaled on a dial spindle by a driving cam, and a fence lever pivoted on a bolt to descend to a lower coupled position with the drive cam and retract the bolt along an unlocking path when the proper combination is dialed. A timing movement is provided having an intercoupling gear train including an input gear rearwardly adjacent the driving cam for winding the main spring to woundup condition upon rotation of the dial and driving cam through a predetermined arc. A pivoted blocking lever biased to a normal stop position is located in the unlocking path of part of the fence lever to bar unlocking movement of the fence lever in its lower coupled position, and the lock case has a fixed backup shoulder immediately adjacent the blocking lever to support the blocking lever against attempted forced displacement of the fence lever and bolt in a bolt unlocking direction.

Abstract: A combination lock having a lock housing with a spring bolt. A manually operable combination dial is provided outside the housing to operate a standard combination mechanism and a bolt retracting cam. A bolt retracting element is secured to the bolt and engageable by the bolt retracting cam when the combination mechanism is operated to a predetermined condition. By turning the dial the retracting cam is operated and the bolt is retracted. A disengagement mechanism disengages the bolt retracting element from the retracting cam, after the dial is released and the bolt is then displaced to its locked position.
