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.

An environment friendly metal mechanical password lock cylinder capable of setting repeatedly password keys comprises password rebound leaves, a label panel, a fastener locking plate, a positioning plate, a fastener reset plate, an axis panel and a control plate. The label panel is fixedly connected with the positioning plate; the fastener locking plate is disposed between the label panel and the positioning plate; the fastener reset plate is slideably disposed on the positioning plate; the axis panel is matched and connected with the label panel; the control plate is slideably disposed on the axis panel; the password rebound leaf runs through the label panel and the positioning plate in sequence and corresponds to the control plate; the number of the password rebound leaves is set to be several; and at least one password rebound leaf in the plurality of password rebound leaves is provided with positioning blocks matched with the control plate.

A combination lock is provided, the combination lock having a rotary latch configured for rotation between a locked position and an unlocked position, the rotary latch rotating in a first plane; and a bolt configured for movement between a first position and a second position along a second plane the second plane being oriented at a different location than the first plane, the bolt engaging the rotary latch in the first position such that rotation of the rotary latch from the locked position to the unlocked position is prevented.

An electronic combination lock has a touch panel for combination code entry. If the combination code matches a preset code, a solenoid in energized to unlock the lock, allowing a user to pull up the shackle to open the lock. The user can be a master user, a regular user or a temporary user with each type of users having different level of access. For example, the master user can have unlimited number of times to use the master combination code, while a temporary user has only a limited number of times to use its temporary code as designated by the master user. In one embodiment, the lock can be opened with a key. In another embodiment, the user can enter the combination code from a detached electronic device.

A resettable combination lock mechanism includes a plurality of outer lock dials and a plurality of inner lock dials. The rotation of a reset feature changes the relative axial position between the outer lock dials and the inner lock dials, allowing the combination of the lock mechanism to be reset. In one aspect, the outer lock dials are axially displaced upon rotation of the reset feature, exposing a visual indicator that is configured to indicate whether the lock is in a combination reset mode or is in a normal mode. The reset mode allows the combination to be changed. The normal mode allows the lock mechanism to be locked or unlocked to secure or release a desired item. In another aspect, the rotation of the reset feature rotates a visual indicator into alignment with a window to indicate that the lock is the reset mode or the normal mode.

An apparatus for selectively securing at least a first zipper closure mechanism 125 and a second zipper closure mechanism 135 of a luggage case 100, may include a lock device 145 coupled to the luggage case 100. The lock device 145 includes a lock mechanism 158 operable between a locked and unlocked configuration, at least two securing recesses 151, 152, 153, 154 for releasable receipt of at least a portion of each of the respective first and second zipper closure mechanisms 125, 135, and at least one release member 160 for actuating the lock mechanism 158.

A code changing structure for a key coded lock, including a lock base, a push rod, locking pieces, a knob, a linkage assembly, a position resetting assembly, and corresponding key springs, password keys, button springs and buttons. A press-rotating mechanism operable below a code changing height is provided between the buttons and key slots. When a correct password is entered, the knob rotate to a first angle or a second angle. When the knob rotates to the first angle, the key coded lock is in an unlocked state, the lock pieces move away from the knob and prevent the buttons to reach the code changing height. When the knob rotates to the second angle, the lock pieces move towards the knob and allow the buttons to be pressed down to the code changing height so as to drive the password keys to rotate to change the password.

A combination lock is provided, the lock having a latch movably mounted to a housing of the lock for movement between a locked position and an unlocked position; and a bolt movably mounted to the housing of the lock for movement between a first position and a second position, wherein the combination lock is a key-controlled combination changing permutation lock wherein a button disposed away from a rear exterior surface of the housing in a first direction rearwardly away from the rear exterior surface is depressed in order to change the combination of the combination lock and the housing has a button protection feature extending rearwardly away from the rear exterior surface of the housing in the first direction proximate to the button and the button protection feature extends farther away from the rear exterior surface of the housing in the first direction than the button.

A dial wheel device has a controller. The controller has a positioning rod. An adjuster, a dial wheel module, a seat and a restoring element are mounted on the positioning rod. The dial wheel module has multiple dial wheel assemblies. Each dial wheel assembly has an outer ring and an inner ring. In the code-unchanged state, the outer ring and the inner ring are coactive. In the code-changing state, the adjuster is rotated and the guide element forms a lateral displacement to push the inner ring, and the outer ring and the inner ring are non-coactive. The outer ring is turned to reset the code. When the code-changing state is finished, the adjuster is rotated again and the outer ring and the inner ring are coactive again. Therefore, the components of the code-changeable assembly are simplified and the dial wheel device is easy to assemble and operate.

A padlock has a shackle with a short leg and a long leg and a lock body having two partial channels to accommodate the short and long legs. Each of the short and long legs has a bolt groove to receive a bolt. The lock body also has a through channel for placing a spindle having a locking area and an unlocking groove. A plurality of dials and clutches mounted on the spindle control the spindle movement. When the padlock is in the locked mode, the spindle is located within the through channel such that the locking area pushes the bolts against the bolt grooves, preventing the shackle from being pulled upward. When dials match the combination code, the spindle can move upward to allow the bolts to move away from the bolt grooves toward the unlocking groove and the shackle can be pulled upward to unlock the padlock.
