An aircraft cowl arrangement may comprise a first half, and a second half rotatable between an open position and a closed position, a first seal coupled to the first half, a second seal coupled to the second half, and a latch arrangement for preventing relative movement between the first half and the second half. The latch arrangement may comprise a tie rod comprising a first end coupled to the first half, a second end, and a frame having an opening for receiving the second end of the tie rod, a latch handle rotatably mounted to the frame, and a hook operably coupled to the latch handle, wherein the latch handle is configured to move between a first position wherein the hook is engaged with the second end of the tie rod and a second position wherein the hook is disengaged from the second end of the tie rod.

An electronic lock having a lock box arranged in the jamb and a face plate arranged in the door edge, the lock box has a brake gear with a screw sleeve arranged on a screw rod for driving the screw sleeve to displace back and forth, and by driving the rear end of the latch bolt, make the front end of the latch bolt be able to rotate inside the containing space of the lock box and go into or out of the bolt slot, and further goes into the lock slot of the face plate to achieve locking status; or the restoring of the expansion spring makes the latch bolt returned to the containing space to become unlocking status. Because the latch bolt is using the rotation to go in or out of the bolt slot and the screw sleeve and the screw rod which driving the latch bolt has the characteristic of high torque transmission, the present invention can ensure the operation stability of the lock during the locking and unlocking process.

Certain aspects of the technology disclosed herein include an apparatus and method for storing energy in a electromechanical lock. The electromechanical lock can include a main housing and a deadbolt. The main housing can be configured to extend a deadbolt along a path to lock and/or unlock a door. The deadbolt can have a hollow inner region configured to receive an energy storage device. The energy storage device within the deadbolt can be electrically connected to the main housing. The energy storage device can be used to power an actuator and/or accelerometer in the main housing.

The invention relates to a lock with an improved locking system, including a lock block attached to a support by means of at least two fastening screws, with a door arranged between the lock block and the support, the lock including grub screws screwed into the support, which project from the support by a length according to the portion of grub screw screwed into the support, such that the length matches a clearance between the door and the support.

A handle assembly includes a lock cylinder of a selected one of a first standard or a different second standard. A tail piece extends from the lock cylinder. The handle assembly also includes a vertical tubular member, a horizontal tubular member and a transition plate. The transition plate is disposed within the vertical tubular member and is moveable between a first position and a different second position. The transition plate accommodates installation of the lock cylinder of the first standard when in the first position and installation of the lock cylinder of the second standard when in the second position. A mechanical linkage is coupled to the tail piece and effects movement of a locking bolt in response to turning of a key in the lock cylinder.

A lock mechanism includes a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, a restricting plate, a fixing base, at least one first fixing element and at least one second fixing element. The first mounting plate and the restricting plate are mounted on one side of a door, and the second mounting plate and the fixing base are mounted on the other side of the door. The first fixing element is penetrated through the restricting plate in a direction from the restricting plate toward the second mounting plate. The second fixing element is penetrated through the fixing base in a direction from the fixing base toward the first mounting plate. The fixing base and a lock cylinder disposed on the fixing base can be disassembled and replaced by removing the second fixing element such that dismantling the whole lock mechanism is not necessary.

Certain aspects of the technology disclosed herein include an apparatus and method for electrically and mechanically connecting a deadbolt to a main housing of a lock. The main housing can be configured to extend a deadbolt along a path to lock and/or unlock a door while receiving electrical energy from an energy storage device disposed in the deadbolt. The energy storage device disposed in the deadbolt can be proximate to one or more electrical contacts electrically connected to one or more components in the main housing via conductive components of a bolt carriage. The bolt carriage includes a groove attachable to a male detent connector attached to the deadbolt. The groove in the bolt carriage provides a mechanical connection to the deadbolt and also aligns pogo pins with electrical components of the bolt carriage to enable electrical transmission from the deadbolt to the main housing.

Disclosed are embodiments of a tapered bolt receiver for a door lock to accommodate misalignment, between a deadbolt mounted to a door, and an opposing jamb. The tapered bolt receiver can be configured to accommodate misalignment for a deadbolt having a non-tapered bolt, such as for an electromechanical smart lock having a battery stored within a battery compartment that is integrated with an enhanced bolt. Also disclosed are embodiments of a deadbolt plate pivot assembly that is pivotably mountable to a corresponding deadbolt assembly to define a plate pivot system, to accommodate a beveled door edge. An illustrative embodiment of the deadbolt plate pivot assembly includes opposing plate that captures a hinge assembly, which can include plastic plate hinges, which serve to locate the deadbolt plate pivot assembly with respect to a corresponding bolt housing, and can provide a spring force and/or constant torque when mounted to a beveled door.

In one aspect of the present disclosure, a laundry treating apparatus includes a door including: a door cover; and a door frame coupled to a rear surface of the door cover. A left cover seating portion and a right cover seating portion are respectively defined in a left edge and a right edge of a rear surface portion of the door frame. The left cover seating portion and the right cover seating portion are shaped to be symmetrical with each other with respect to a vertical line bisecting the door horizontally. Each of the left cover seating portion and the right cover seating portion is shaped to be symmetrical with respect to a horizontal line bisecting the door vertically.
