The invention discloses a locking device and a refrigerator, wherein the locking device comprises a first lock block and a second lock block; the first lock block comprises a base and a tongue; the second lock block comprises an accommodating cavity, a clamping block, a return spring and a pushing block; the pushing block pushes the clamping block to slide in the sliding groove; and the tongue enters the tongue channel to be engaged with the clamping block so that the two lock blocks are engaged with each other. The locking device has the function of automatically adjusting the height difference between different cabinet doors and cabinet bodies, and is therefore more flexibly suitable for locking various cabinets or refrigerators.

The invention relates to a locking device for locking a first component, in particular a door leaf, to a second component, in particular to a door frame, having a catch element for fastening to the first or second component, the catch element comprising a first latching recess; having a latching unit for fastening to the second or first component; the latching unit comprising a first latching body for engagement with the at least one latching recess of the catch element; the latching unit comprising a release element which comprises a first receiving opening for receiving the first latching body; and the release element can be moved between a rest position, which arranges the first latching body in the first latching recess of the catch element and in the receiving opening of the release element, and a release position, which releases the engagement between the first latching body and the first latching recess of the catch element. The invention also relates to a sliding door having such a locking device.

A safety door device according to an aspect includes: a full closing detector for detecting that a safety door has fully closed from an opened state; a locking mechanism for locking the safety door so that the safety door does not open; a measurement unit (acceleration sensor, control unit for measuring a travel acceleration, a travel speed, or a travel time when the safety door closes; and a control unit for controlling the locking mechanism to lock the safety door when the safety door is detected to be fully closed. If the travel acceleration or the travel speed is greater than a first threshold, or if the travel time is shorter than a second threshold, then the control unit does not cause the safety door to be locked.

A lock for a closure element of a real estate property, includes a pivoting catch on which a spring acts in a preferred direction, a locking member, and a manual or mechanical drive device. The locking member is designed as a rotary locking member that is driven by the drive device in a circulating manner about a locking member axis in only one rotational direction and comprises multiple locking elements which are offset to one another over the angle at the circumference of the locking member and which interact with the pivoting catch as respective tumblers depending on the rotational angle. Only one of the locking elements constantly acts directly on the pivoting catch for a locking and unlocking process, and the adjacent locking element opposite the rotational direction of the rotary locking member acts on the pivoting catch by rotating the rotary locking member for a subsequent locking and unlocking process.

A plastic arrangement that includes a first plastic component, a second plastic component, and a plastic lock mechanism for fastening the second plastic component to the first plastic component. The plastic lock mechanism includes a first lock unit and a second lock unit. The first lock unit includes a U-shaped cantilever member, a catch element and a catch element retention part. The second lock unit includes a protruding member and a protruding member retention part. The plastic lock mechanism provides a locked position wherein the catch element retention part restricts movement of the catch element for preventing the second plastic component from separating from the first plastic component, and the protruding member retention part restricts movement of the protruding member for hindering the moving of the first lock unit to a released position.

A multiple bearing locking mechanism module comprising driver bearings, track bearings, slidable boltlock blocks comprised of springs (or magnetic equivalent) and a crossbolt therein. One or more modules are controlled by a master boltlock bolt/vault either by axial or vertical movement depending on embodiment, thus compressing one or more driver bearings into the track bearings. The track bearings expand into the slidable boltlock blocks housing the crossboltslidably disposed in the bearing trackcompressing the crossbolt into the bossbolt locking port, manifesting the locked state. The multiple bearing locking mechanism module can be encompassed in but not limited to, gate locks, safes, briefcases, toolboxes, toy boxes, multiple shackle padlocks, door locks, cable locks, et cetera.

The present invention relates to a security lock for vehicles, especially for the cargo compartments of lorries or vans, but also usable on other doors. The lock system uses a clamp having two halves or plates such that same hold a bolt, increasing the contact area in the event of a possible attack or leverage, and, if the surface of the vehicle becomes deformed, the two halves jam the bolt, further increasing security and reducing the possibility of opening. Using this invention, the system of inside opening by means of a cable is eliminated. Now, opening from the inside is performed by rotating a shaft or handle perpendicular to the surface of the vehicle, preventing the vehicle from being accessed from the outside.

A rotatable door latch for a door hingedly attached the housing of a device, which in some embodiments may be a medical device for handling fluids, such as a peritoneal dialysis cycler with pump cassette. In an embodiment, the door is configured to close over an installed cassette against a front panel of the housing, the door latch configured to capture the head of a post mounted to the housing. After capturing the head of the post and rotating the door latch, a slot in the latch flanked by a ramp or cam feature slides against the post head, the ramp increasing in thickness to progressively increase the closing force between the door and the post head. Upon full closure of the door latch, a detent at the end of the slot provides a maintenance closing force between the door and the post head. The thickness of at least a portion of the detent is less than the terminal thickness of the ramp, so that a release force needed to move the detent off the post head is greater than the maintenance force between the detent and the post head.

Provided is a push-to-open latch for an oven appliance and other household appliances. The push-to-open latch includes an integrated locking device for locking an appliance door in place and initiate a downstream appliance function such as a self-cleaning function. The integrated locking device includes a rotating cam having a latching slot which engages a pawl. The rotating cam also includes a guiding ramp and a catch surface which may be used to engage a latching finger to lock the cam in place. In addition, the locking device may include a locking slide and a locking slide pin that is actuated by a solenoid to engage the cam. Once the appliance door is locked, one or more switches send a signal to the appliance controller to activate the downstream function.

A pawl latch having a pin assembly with a pin and a receiver assembly adapted to receive the pin assembly. The receiver assembly includes a receiver housing having a slider positioned slidably on the receiver housing, a cam rotatably mounted in the receiver housing, and a link connecting the cam and the slider. Rotating the cam moves the slider along the receiver housing. The receiver assembly includes a pawl and a stop, each having arms, respectively, that rotate. When the receiver assembly receives the pin assembly, contacts the arms of the stop and facilitates their rotation, in which the cam is enabled to be rotated and, in turn, facilitates movement of the slider. The arms of the pawl are rotated in order to lock the pin head of the pin assembly within the receiver assembly.
