A remote safety release comprises an actuator (13) adapted to move between a inoperative position wherein it does not interact with the locking mechanism of a switch and at least one operative position wherein it interacts with the locking mechanism, a remote control device (14) adapted to promote the movement of the actuator from the inoperative position to an operative position, a transfer mechanism (15) adapted to transfer a force from the remote control device (14) to the actuator (13) following the command given by the operator to promote the movement of the actuator (13) and adapted to exert a first solicitation on the actuator (13) to promote its automatic passage from the inoperative position to an operative position, while the remote control device (14) constantly exerts on the actuator (13) a second contrast solicitation opposite to the first solicitation and having at least equal value.

A dispenser lock assembly, including a mechanical lock assembly for locking an openable part to a fixed part and an electronic lock assembly. The mechanical lock assembly including a movably mounted part allowing operation of the mechanical lock assembly and a latch connected to the operation part such that upon operation of the operation part the latch is moved from a locked to an unlocked position, the electronic lock assembly including a blocking member movable between a blocking and an unblocking position, an electric actuator for moving the blocking member between blocking and unblocking positions, a receiver for receiving an unlock signal, a control unit that compares the unlock signal to at least one prestored value and upon determining that the unlock signal matches one of the at least one prestored values controlling the electric actuator to move the blocking member from the blocking to the unblocking position.

A lock device is provided with a housing, a rotary member, a pair of link rods provided with a hook part, a spring for the rotary biasing of the rotary member, and an operative member mounted so as to be able to be inserted into the housing. A cam protrusions formed in the rotary member, and a wall part having a cam slope which abuts the cam protrusion is formed in the operative member. The configuration is such that by inserting the operative member, the rotary member resists the biasing force of the spring and rotates, and the hook part of the link rods slides in a position in which it does not engage with the lock part.

A transmission mechanism applied to a lock and for controlling the lock to switch between an unlocked state and a locked state. The lock includes a first handle set including a first cover plate which includes a first fitting portion. The transmission mechanism includes a transmission element and a moving component. The transmission element is connected to the first handle set in a manner that the transmission element is incapable of moving along a rotating axis and has an abutting portion. The moving component is disposed on the transmission element in a manner that the moving component is capable of moving along the rotating axis and includes a first engaging groove, a second engaging groove and a second fitting portion. When the transmission element is operated to rotate, the abutting portion is capable of switching between the first engaging groove and the second engaging groove.

A push and/or pull handle lockset, comprising: latch tongue (4) in first extended position, and operable to second retracted position; biasing means (6) urging the latch tongue (4) in first position; a linking means (12) to link the latch tongue to the actuator (16); sliding shaft (20) extending through lockset roses (27, 36), and operable from first position to second operating position; a biasing means (26) urging the sliding shaft to first position; an engagement means (21) for sliding shaft (20) to engage with actuator (16); lock accommodations (22, 30) for locking means; actuator (16) to translate movement of said sliding shaft to operate latch tongue (4) into second position; locking means (45) interposed between the lockset roses in parallel alignment with sliding shaft (20) including latch arm (46) which is rotatable in and out of lock sockets (22, 30); lockset unit operation is reversed by rotating the lockset unit one hundred and eighty degrees (180°) about it's horizontal lateral axis, changing the direction of actuator (16) or handle (43, 44) operation.

Push button device for a motor vehicle, has: a mechanical and/or electric function controller with a first control state and a second control state; a push button element pressable from a disengaged state into a pressed state, wherein the function controller has the first control state when the push button element is in the disengaged state and the second control state when the push button element is in the pressed state, the push button element connected to the function controller by a first pivot arm mounted rotatably about a first axis of rotation and by a second pivot arm mounted rotatably about a different axis of rotation spaced apart from the first axis of rotation, wherein the first pivot arm and the second pivot arm are designed to be pivoted in an identical direction of rotation as a consequence of a movement of the push button element.

A button assembly for a door lock may include a button and a shank. The button may be toollessly couplable to the shank to allow force transmission between the button and the shank. The button may transfer linear force and torque along a longitudinal axis of the button to the shank to allow a state of an associated lock body to be changed.

A lockset (10) is actuable by pivoting a lever (14,16) about a longitudinal axis of the lockset (10) by rotating the lever (14,16) and by pivoting the lever (14,16) about an axis transverse to the lockset axis, such as by pushing or pulling. The lockset (10) includes an inside lever (14) and an outside lever (16), each associated with an independent mechanism, each of which can independently actuate the lockset (10). A keyed locking cylinder (250) is disposed axially in the outside lever (16) and pivots with the outside lever (16). The keyed lock cylinder (250) has an opening that pivotably engages an actuator (260). The actuator (260) extends into a retractor assembly (33) of the lockset (10) and is configured to perform an unlocking or locking function when actuated.

A cooling appliance including a locking mechanism configured to fix the door to the main body at a different position from the latch mechanism, in a state where the door fixed to the main body by the latch mechanism closes the cooking chamber, wherein the locking mechanism provided in the door may include a shaft moved to a fixing position, at which the shaft is coupled to the hinge member, or a releasing position, at which the shaft is released from the coupling state, by a repeated pressing manipulation.
