The two door interlock system includes a mounting assembly rotatably mounted to a frame of the imaging device and movable by the first access door between a first position and a second position, and an actuator projecting from an inner surface of the second access door, and a sensor positioned on the mounting assembly and providing an output signal that changes between a first state and a second state. The output signal being in the first state when both of the first and second access doors are in their respective closed positions and in the second state when at least one of the first and second access doors are in their respective open positions.

A housing device having a pull-type locking and release structure includes a housing (110) and a locking and release member (150). The housing (110) includes two lateral walls (130), a breach (132) formed on each of the lateral walls (130), and an elongated groove (134) formed along each of the lateral walls (130), a pivot hole (136) formed on each of the lateral walls (130). The locking and release member (150) includes two arms (152) disposed in the two elongated grooves (134), a rod (156) connected to the two arms (152), a resilient element (160) disposed at each of the arms (152), a connection element (170) connected to each of the arms (152), a fastening element (180) connected to each of the connection elements (170), and a pivot (182) protruding from each of the fastening elements (180). The pivot (182) is pivotally connected to the pivot hole (136).

A server obtains a message that an authorization for requesting an action via a first apparatus is allocated, wherein the action can be caused by a separate control unit. The server compiles information that identifies the action and that allows the first apparatus to check the authorization. The compiled information is transmitted to a second apparatus. The first apparatus can obtain a message from the second apparatus, which is used to request the causing of the action. The first apparatus checks the authorization for the request on the basis of the obtained message and whether the action is an action that is to be caused by the first apparatus or by the control unit. If it is established that authorization exists and that the action is to be caused by the control unit, then the first apparatus transmits a request to the control unit to cause the action.

The invention provides a covered dustbin or covered container. In particular, the invention relates to a lock assembly for dustbins and covered containers. A lower half of the lock is mounted to the inside wall of the dustbin and an underlid half is mounted to the underside of a lid that is hinged to a location adjacent the upper rim of the dustbin. A pair of interlocking engagement members is provided to releasably secure the lid to the dustbin. The lower half and the underlid half each include one interlocking engagement member, such as a hook and a strike. A rocker, when actuated, urges the interlocking engagement members into a disengaged position, for example to disengage the hook from the strike. A user can use a handle provided on the lid to press down the rocker to disengage the lock and lift the lid in a one-hand operation.

A housing locking apparatus includes a shell, a cover, a fixing member, a blocking member and an operation member. The shell includes an abutting portion protruding inside of the shell and a restriction member protruding outside of the shell. The cover includes a covering plate and a sidewall protruding from the covering plate. The sidewall defines a restriction hole and abuts against the outside of the shell. The restriction member is movably received in the restriction hole. The fixing member is attached to the covering plate. The blocking member and the operation member are both rotationally attached to the fixing member. An end of the blocking member abuts against the abutting portion. The operation member rotates around the fixing member at a first direction to press the blocking member to rotate to position the end of the blocking member between the covering plate and the abutting portion.

A lid for a utilities vault having a moldable core and a reinforcement matrix positioned within the core, the reinforcement matrix including longitudinally and laterally extending intersecting members and a plurality of lid feature housings positioned on and attached to the intersecting members, the lid feature housings extending through the core and protruding to the upper and lower surfaces of the lid, and the plurality of longitudinally and laterally extending intersecting members have a height sufficient to provide reinforcement without a perimeter member for the reinforcement matrix.

A self-releasing panel support latch allows easy installation of an aesthetic panel, for example a ceiling panel, over an access opening in an aircraft interior and easy removal of the panel from over the opening without the use of any tools or release mechanisms.

A circuit breaker includes an accessory pocket, an accessory cover and a locking device to lock the circuit breaker such that an unauthorized switching of the circuit breaker from OFF to ON or from ON to OFF states is prevented. The locking device includes a first subassembly including a pocket housing. The first subassembly is configured to be installed in the accessory pocket. The locking device further includes a second subassembly including a cylinder lock. The second subassembly is configured to be mounted to the accessory cover. The first subassembly and the second subassembly are configured to self align upon final assembly of the circuit breaker to perform a locking function of the circuit breaker. In this way, the locking device prevents circumvention of a locking feature and selectively provides an ability to lock in an ON state of the circuit breaker.

A laundry treating apparatus may include a main body having a laundry inlet port disposed at a front surface thereof and configured to receive laundry through the laundry inlet port, and a door rotatably coupled to a front surface of the main body to open and close the laundry inlet port. The door may include an outer frame provided with an opening and facing an outside of the main body; a front glass coupled to a front surface of the outer frame to cover the opening; an inner frame coupled to a rear surface of the outer frame and facing an inside of the main body; and a plurality of hooks that extends from each of the outer frame and the inner frame to fasten the outer frame and the inner frame, thereby enhancing a fastening force between the outer frame and the inner frame.

An assembly can include a chassis that includes a chamber and an opening; a cover movable for access to the chamber via the opening; a cover latch; and a cover latch release that includes a push panel operatively coupled via a linkage to a pull panel that includes a finger grip surface, where the linkage rotates the pull panel responsive to rotation of the push panel to expose the finger grip surface, and where further rotation of the pull panel releases the cover latch.
