Abstract: Aspects relate to a door device configured to open, close, lock, and unlock a door in a hands-free nature, designed to allow a user to enter and leave a single-user restroom without needing to touch the door handle and/or lock with their hand. The door device includes a latch which interfaces with a strike plate, the latch shaped with two angled surfaces which allow a door to be opened and closed. The door device also includes an interior handle extending outward from an interior side of the door, the interior handle able to lock the door by abutting the latch to fix the latch in place, the interior handle designed to lock the door with a linear directional movement and to unlock the door with an opposite linear directional movement. The door device further includes a back cover extending outwardly from an exterior side of the door, the back cover including a status indicator which provides an indication of whether the door is in a locked state.

Abstract: A locking device between a first structure and a second structure includes a bolt to lock the first and second structures, an indicator as to whether the bolt has locked/unlocked the structures, and a connecting system. The bolt includes a lock bolt attached to the first structure and able to engage a hook which is attached to the second structure. In particular, the connecting system connects the bolt with the lock bolt to the indicator, and the hook is mounted such that it can move between a first position in which it is engaged with the lock bolt and allows the indicator to be locked, and a second position in which the hook is free of the lock bolt and allows the indicator to be unlocked.

Abstract: An apparatus for tracking and indicating the status of a lock, comprising: a movement sensing device for sensing movement of a key related to said lock and providing information about said movement; a controller for reception of said information about said movement, processing said information and identifying a key rotation event that is associated with a lock status; and an indication unit being connected to said controller; providing an indication of the lock status according to control signals that are provided by said controller.

Abstract: An ignition module assembly having a housing member connectable to an ignition system the housing having an undulating surface. A slider member is connected to the housing member and moved between a plurality of discrete positions. The slider member controls the ignition system based on its discrete position. The slider member is configured to receive a key fob. A spring member is compressed between the slider member and the undulating surface and is configured to slide along the undulating surface as the slider member moves between the plurality of discrete positions. The undulations correspond to the discrete positions and a user inserting the key fob into the ignition module assembly and moving the slider member receives haptic feedback to discern the position of the slider member.

Abstract: A locked/unlocked indicator for a key that shows whether a person has locked a door lock or any type of lock. The indicator has a base member having a window formed in the top surface that communicates with a channel formed in the bottom surface. A slide member has a thumb tab that extends upwardly through the aperture that allows the slide member to be slid back and forth between a position that indicates whether the door lock is locked or unlocked. The bottom of the slide member is a spring member that has curved lips on the front and rear end that make an audible sound when the slide member reaches both the locked and the unlocked position. The base member has adhesive on the bottom surface for attachment to the head member of a key.

Abstract: A key 10 and lock 20 are disclosed for use and can be identified by knocking-out area 17 or breaking of tab 14 for identification of what numbered, lettered or Braille key goes with what lock.

Abstract: A disk shaped element has a plurality of tactile sensed position indicators arranged along its' circumference. Each position indicator consists of a straight bar terminated at one end with a rod having a diameter greater than the thickness of the corresponding bar. Each bar extends outwardly from the circumference of the disk, and each rod extends outwardly from the circumference a distance greater than the corresponding bar. Each position indicator on the dial is oriented analogous to an hour hand position on a clock, with the rod providing a reference for the base of the hand.

Abstract: An electronic touch key for operating an electronic lock in an electronic lockset, includes a handle having front and rear surfaces; an electronic touch button mounted to the front surface of the handle; and a device, mounted to the rear surface of the handle, for providing a tactile signal to the user by oil-canning when the electronic touch button has been touched to a lock with the proper force.

Abstract: A lock condition indicator device which is adapted for affixation to a key for a cylinder lock has a substantially circular movable means adapted to be retained in juxtaposition to a head portion of the key, but rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the key when an engaging means on the circumference of the movable means encounters an obstructing means on an outer surface of the lock, resulting in the movable means being rotated into one of a plurality of indicator positions.

Abstract: A key locking indicator device usable with a key of conventional design for tactile and visual indication of whether the device was last used to look or unlock the look operated by the key. The device is of simple construction, embodies a minimum number of moving parts, and is easy to use.

Abstract: A door lock is provided with three alarm switches for activating an alarm system. The first switch has a first pair of contacts which are formed by a spring urging a tumbler pin and a metallic sleeve in which the spring is inserted. The second switch has a second pair of contacts which are urged toward each other and disposed on two opposite sides of a tongue connected to a tumbler for oeprating a lock bolt. The third switch has a third pair of contacts operable by a slide bar slidably disposed along the lock bolt. When an attempt is made to pick the lock, the first switch is closed to activate the alarm system; when an attempt is made to pull the lock cylinder out of the door, the second switch is closed to activate the alarm system; and when an attempt is made to pry open the door, the third switch is closed to activate the alarm system.

Abstract: A flush type rotary drive means which is caused to move between a position flush with a surrounding surface and a protruding position as the latch is moved between its locked position and its unlatched position, the drive means, by reason of its protruding position, being readily visible to indicate the partially or completely unlocked condition of the latch; one embodiment being arranged to move a reciprocable latch; another embodiment being arranged to turn a rotary latch.

Abstract: A casing for holding a key in one of two pivoted positions. The key pivots about an axis extending along one edge thereof when a lock is turned by the user of the key. An indicator may be attached to the key for extension through a small opening in the casing or housing when the key is in one position and for retraction below the level of the casing periphery when the key is in the opposite position. In a second embodiment, a portion of the casing may be pierced along three edges and arranged so that, when the key is in one position, the pierced portion is pushed above the casing periphery and, when the key is pivoted to the second position, the pierced portion is coextensive with or below the casing periphery. In a third embodiment, an indicator may be pivotally fastened in position between halves of the casing for movement (a) above and (b) even with or below the periphery of the casing when the key is pivoted.

Abstract: A flush type rotary drive means which is caused to move between a position flush with a surrounding surface and a protruding position as the latch is moved between its locked position and its unlatched position, the drive means, by reason of its protruding position, being readily visible to indicate the partially or completely unlocked condition of the latch; one embodiment being arranged to move a reciprocable latch; another embodiment being arranged to turn a rotary latch.
