An automatic messy code character wheel coded lock includes a housing and a lock case capable of rotating with respect to the housing provided on the housing in a penetrating mode. A lock cylinder assembly is provided in one end of the lock case, and a lock piece is connected to the other end of the lock case. A character wheel shaft is provided in the housing. Several bushings are sleeved on the character wheel shaft. Each bushing is sleeved with a character wheel capable of driving the bushing to rotate together or rotate relatively. Several code characters are provided on a side wall of the character wheel. Each character wheel is provided with a pair of character wheel magnets having opposite poles, and the character wheel shaft is provided with one character wheel shaft magnet corresponding to each pair of character wheel magnets.

A locking cap having a push button reset and method for operating the locking cap having a push button reset are disclosed. The locking cap with a push button reset system is a deterrent to keep medications in the correct hands.

A locking device that can be mounted into a rotating or swinging door is disclosed. The locking device can have a deadbolt. The locking device can detect the position of the deadbolt and/or whether the door is closed. The locking device can have a camera, microphone and speaker. The locking device can send images detected by the camera and audio detected by the microphones to a remote computer.

A combination lock has a body formed from a stack of plates each having various openings to form some of the channels or holes such as the locking hole to receive the short leg of the shackle, the long-leg channel, the spindle hole, the dial slots, the ratchet-pin holder slot and the bolt slots. The short leg and the long leg of the shackle each has a cutout to receive a locking bolt. The spindle has a locking surface to engage the locking bolts with the cutouts when the lock is in locked mode. The spindle also has a neck to release the locking bolts from the cutouts when the lock is in opened mode. The lock has a directional plate and a reset button near the lock's bottom end to control the rotation and the downward movement of the spindle in the reset mode.

A combination lock can be operated manually via the manipulation of dials and by way of an electronic key. The lock includes one or more rotatable selectors each having multiple indicia disposed thereon. Rotation of the rotatable selectors to predetermined indicia places the lock in the unlocked position. The lock can further include an electronic port and an actuator. Upon receipt of a predetermined credential via the port, the actuator can place the lock in in the unlocked position. The lock further includes a knob that, when the lock is in the unlocked position, can be rotated between a first position in which the lock is in a closed position and a second position in which the lock is in an open position. The combination lock may automatically scramble the positions of the dials upon opening for security purposes.

A combination lock includes a lock body, a shaft secured within the lock body, and a plurality of coaxially aligned rotary lock elements rotatable about the shaft. Each rotary lock element includes an inner peripheral hub disposed on the shaft and including a radial bore extending from an outer periphery of the hub to an inner periphery of the hub, and an outer peripheral wheel surrounding the hub. A shaft engaging member a wheel engaging member are disposed in the radial bore, with the wheel engaging member extending partially outward of the outer periphery of the hub for engagement with one of a plurality of inner peripheral pockets in the wheel to rotationally fix the wheel with the hub. When the locking shaft is moved from a normal operating position to a code change position, the shaft engaging member of each dial is partially receivable in a corresponding recess in the locking shaft, and the wheel engaging member is receivable into the radial bore to rotationally disengage the wheel from the corresponding hub.

A lock includes a housing having a plurality of apertures receiving buttons. A biasing member biases each button towards an un-pressed position. A plurality of spools includes circumferential grooves. Each circumferential groove has a notch that is angularly displaced relative to each of the other notches on that spool. A plurality of legs is in communication with one of the buttons and contacts one of the circumferential grooves. A locking plate includes apertures receiving the spools. An actuator is associated with the locking plate and a latch. Pressing and releasing the buttons causes translation of the spool rotationally orienting a notch to be adjacent to the locking plate. The locking plate only moves into an unlocked position, when driven by the actuator disengaging the latch and unlocking the lock if all of the notches which are adjacent to the locking plate are in a unlocked rotational orientation.
