The present invention relates to a locking mechanism for a magnetic lock and including a locking body assembly. The locking mechanism includes a lock latch and a slide bar switch that move between an active and non-active positions. The lock latch cannot move freely in the active position, but can in the non-active position. The lock latch receives a magnet, and can move freely through magnetic force action. The locking body assembly includes a locking body and a locking plate. The locking body has a housings that form a cavity. When the locking mechanism and lock latch are fixed in the cavity, a hook portion of the lock latch can extend out of or retract into the cavity as the lock latch pivots, thereby engaging or disengaging with the locking plate, and either locking or unlocking the latch. The magnetic lock includes a key and the locking body assembly.

Aircraft service trolley and galley enclosure therefor

A retaining assembly secures an equipment item within an aircraft galley compartment. The retaining assembly may include a turn button assembly including a turn button connected to a front edge of the galley compartment to secure the equipment item within the galley compartment.

A vertically adjustable sash lock is described that improves the seal of windows. The vertically adjustable sash lock may include, for example, a housing configured to be coupled to a first window sash and a rotatable cam configured to rotatably engage with a keeper bracket coupled to a second window sash. A vertical member may be positioned through a threaded aperture of the rotatable cam. A knob coupled to the vertical member may drive a rotation of the vertical member, causing a vertical position of the rotatable cam relative to a bottom surface of the housing to adjust accordingly.

Closure system that resists separation when laterally loaded

An exemplary closure system includes, among other things, a striker assembly, a latch assembly, and a hooked structure. In response to the striker assembly and the latch assembly being laterally displaced from each other, the hooked structure engages one of the striker assembly or the latch assembly to block separation of the striker assembly from the latch assembly. An exemplary latching method includes, among other things, engaging a hooked structure in response to a striker assembly being laterally displaced relative to a latch assembly. The engaging blocks the striker assembly from separating relative to the latch assembly.

ENERGY-GENERATING WINDOW AND DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLIES AND ALARM SYSTEM POWERED THEREBY

An alarm system includes a latch assembly having a movable element mounted on one of an entry and a structural element, and a fixed element mounted on the other of the entry and the structural element, wherein the movable element is movable between an engaged position with the fixed element and a disengaged position from the fixed element. A magnet is provided in one of the movable element and the fixed element, and a coil is provided in the other of the moveable element and the fixed element. The magnet and the coil are positioned relative to each other so that an electric current is induced in the coil by the magnet when the movable element is moved between the engaged position and the disengaged position. An energy harvesting circuit connected to the coil converts the induced electric current into a supply voltage that powers the alarm system.
