The invention involves a keeper (20) to interact with a bolt (16) of a lock (10); The keeper includes a bracket (22) for attachment to a structure, and a keeper rod (24) secured to the bracket, the keeper rod extending from one surface (27) of the bracket. In the keeper, a shaft (32) is attached to the bracket and can rotate freely relative to the bracket such that it extends in a longitudinal direction (X); a blade (40) is mounted on the shaft (32) on one side of the bracket near the keeper rod in such a way as to always rotate along with the shaft; an angular position indicator (46) is also mounted so as to always rotate along with the shaft; the blade being so positioned that it can be rotated by the latch when the latch hooks on to or releases from the keeper rod, and the angular position indicator (46) being capable of indicating the angular position of the blade. The invention is for example intended to be used on an aircraft door such as that of a helicopter.

The disclosure relates to a magnetic-actuation latch device. The magnetic-actuation latch device includes a housing, a latch element, a sliding plate, an elastic component, a rotating element and a limitation element. A lateral opening of the housing spatially corresponds a first magnetic block mounted on a fixed component. When a second magnetic block of the latch element is aligned to the first magnetic block, an actuation force is generated to drive the latch element to pass through the lateral opening and engage with the fixed component. The elastic component is connected between the sliding plate and the housing. When the rotating element is rotated by an external force, the sliding plate is driven to misalign the second magnetic block from the first magnetic block, and the latch element does not pass through the lateral opening. The limitation element is pivotally connected to the housing for blocking the rotating element.

A latch arrangement for a sliding wing has a latching member that is movable by magnetic force from first position in which it is at least partially retracted within a latch housing, to a second position in which it extends at least partially out of the housing, to be received in a strike. The strike comprises a magnet or ferromagnetic arrangement to attract the latching member into a receiving and engaging formation of the strike when the sliding wing is located at or adjacent the strike.

This invention concerns a security lock for use with a lock unit. The security lock has a base, a casing in which the base is, in use, received, an elongate locking bolt, biasing means for urging the locking bolt towards its inoperative position, an externally accessible operating member for moving the locking bolt and a locking mechanism which is used to lock the bolt in its operative position. A securing mechanism is operable between a locked state in which the base and casing are locked to each other and a released state in which the base and casing are released from each other. A securing element is held captive such that it remains in position irrespective of whether the securing mechanism is in its locked or released state.

An equipment assembly is disclosed that includes a first equipment housing having a first penetration, a latch assembly disposed within the first equipment housing, a second equipment housing having a second penetration and a security bezel configured to cause the latch assembly to rotate through the first penetration and the second penetration.

The disclosure relates to a push-and-pull latch device including a housing, a latching component, a first elastic component, an inner-sleeve assembly, an inner-shaft component, a second elastic component and a third elastic component. The first elastic component abuts the latching component. The latching component engages an object through the housing. The inner-sleeve assembly is accommodated within the housing. The inner-shaft component is partially accommodated within the inner-sleeve assembly. The second elastic component is abutted between the inner-shaft component and the inner-sleeve assembly. The third elastic component includes a fixed portion connected to the inner-shaft component and an engaging end engaged with a guide groove of the inner-sleeve assembly. By driving the inner-shaft component to move the engaging end relative to the guide groove or move the inner-sleeve assembly relative to the housing, the relative positions between the components can be switched to provide the functions of opening and closing.

A lock assembly comprising a base formed from a magnetic flux conducting material, the base secure to a chassis. A pin slidably disposed in the base and configured to move from a first open position to a second closed position. A magnet, disposed on a surface of a riser and configured to create a force on the pin that causes the pin to move from the open position to the closed position when the riser is disposed with the chassis.

An equipment assembly is disclosed that includes a first equipment housing having a first penetration, a latch assembly disposed within the first equipment housing, a second equipment housing having a second penetration and a security bezel configured to cause the latch assembly to rotate through the first penetration and the second penetration.

The present gate handle includes a push button that is pushed before the gate handle is slid from a closed position to an open position on top of a support member. The support member includes a resilient button that extends into the gate handle and is pushable out of the gate handle by the push button. The support member further includes side slots that are engaged by side slides extending from the handle.

The present application provides a lock (100) for a door. The lock comprises a housing (102), a lock mechanism (108), and a bolt (104). An end portion (112) of the bolt comprises a trigger (106). The lock mechanism is operable to move the bolt between a locked position in which the end portion extends through an opening in the housing and projects from the housing, and an unlocked position in which the end portion is within the housing. The lock further comprises a retraction mechanism (110), wherein actuation of trigger causes the retraction mechanism to automatically move the bolt from the locked position into the unlocked position.
