An electronic lockbox uses a rotary actuator with multiple positions to achieve multiple locking states. Multiple positions of the actuator are detected, using optical sensors. The locking mechanism includes an outer sleeve and an inner cylindrical barrel that are coupled with torsion springs. The lockbox has a shackle and a key bin that are retained by the inner barrel when in the locked state, and the barrel can be rotated to either release the shackle or to release the key bin that typically holds a building's key.

A biometric safe cabinet assembly for accessing the firearm safe from a bedside includes a cabinet. The cabinet is a nightstand and is positioned adjacent to a bedside. A scanner is attached to a side of the cabinet. The scanner is a biometric fingerprint reader that is in electric communication with a microprocessor. The microprocessor determines if the fingerprint reading matches the accepted fingerprint data. The microprocessor is in electric communication with a lock which is an electromagnet. The lock receives electric current from a power supply to produce a magnetic field that attracts the magnet of a door. The door is for a safe for a weapon is to be stored within. The magnetic field will diminish when the electric current is closed off by the microprocessor if the correct fingerprint is used. The safe can be accessed by the user without leaving the bedside.

A banknote handling system includes an unlocking system. The unlocking system includes a camera, a first mechanical arm to which one or a plurality of keys are affixed, and a controller that determines a position of a keyhole based on an image from the camera, and controls the first arm to insert one of the one or the plurality of keys into the keyhole and turn the inserted key for unlocking. In many examples, the unlocking system is configured to unlock a banknote cashbox.

A conventional safe proper becomes useless when unable to be locked or unlocked, thereby causing a waste of resources. Locks capable of being locked/unlocked are provided to unfasten a common fastening member, so as to open a door or lid from the body, allow each lock to be freely mounted on and dismounted from a lock mounting portion, and dispose a false lock on each lock. An operating means of locking/unlocking any one of the locks is provided to enable persistent use of a common latch disposed at an identity opening of a safe proper.

A safe box specially designed for shipping, through a regular courier, high value or collectible items with a wide range of sensors, including GPS, a light sensor, temperature sensor, microphone, camera, motion sensor, speaker, hygrometer, monitored locking system, network module, battery module, and anti-theft mechanisms to detect and prevent theft or unauthorized access. The battery module provides power to the network module and the sensors. The sensors providing location information and data to the network module, the network module transmits a shipping status message to an external device.

An electronic lockbox includes a latching apparatus that uses a rotary actuator with multiple positions to achieve multiple locking states. Multiple positions of the actuator are detected, using optical sensors. The locking mechanism includes an outer sleeve and an inner cylindrical barrel that are coupled with torsion springs. The lockbox has a shackle and a key bin that include latch pins which are retained by the inner barrel when in the locked state, and the barrel can be rotated to either release the shackle or to release the key bin that typically holds a building's key. During insertion of a latch pin into the rotatable barrel, a first interior protrusion is sufficiently wide such that after the first latch pin has been inserted into the barrel and has become latched, the first latch pin does not unlatch itself as the second latch pin is inserted and rotates the rotatable barrel during the second latch pin insertion.

The present disclosure relates an electronic locking system. In certain embodiments, the electronic locking system includes a passive electronic lock, active electronic key and passive electronic key. The passive electronic key stores a passive digital key, and the active electronic key stores an active digital key. Each of passive and active electronic keys includes a communication channel and an electronic key power supply port. The active electronic key includes electrical power source providing electrical power supply to active electronic key, passive electronic lock and passive electronic key through passive electronic lock to operate passive electronic lock. When both active and passive electronic keys are inserted into respective electronic keyholes of passive electronic lock, both active and passive digital keys are transmitted to passive electronic lock, passive electronic lock can be locked and unlocked only when both active and passive digital keys received match prestored active and passive digital keys respectively.
