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.

The parts forming the force transmission connection from the spindle shaft of the handle of the lock body to the bolt include a spring, which is also arranged to transfer force. The spring is used to eliminate the protrusion of the bolt caused by tolerance variations, when the handle installed into the lock body is turned to its extreme position to open the door.

A novel intelligent lock for a recreational vehicle belongs to the technical field of locksets. The novel intelligent lock for the recreational vehicle includes a recreational vehicle lock body; a lock cylinder device is arranged on one side of the recreational vehicle lock body; an electrical control device is arranged in the recreational vehicle lock body; the recreational vehicle lock body is provided with a fingerprint recognition module with an inclination angle; an electronic peep hole capable of observing an external situation is arranged on one side of the fingerprint recognition module; the electrical control device is electrically connected to the fingerprint recognition module and the electronic peep hole; and the electrical control device is connected to the lock cylinder device.

A latching assembly for a gate comprising: a latch operative to adopt a latched condition, the latch comprising one or more members coupled together, each latch member extending along a longitudinal axis; and a lock comprising a lock portion adjustable from a retracted to a projected configuration to bring the lock portion into engagement with the or at least one of the latch members in the projected configuration so as to lock the latch in its latched condition.

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.

A gate support system for the free-end of a swinging gate. The system includes a first elongated support member; a second elongated support member, a foot member carried by the second elongated support member and being vertically moveable relative to the second elongated support member between raised and lowered positions; bias means for biasing the foot member to the raised position; and a locking mechanism for locking the foot member in a desired vertical position relative to the second elongated support member. When the gate has been pivoted to a desired position, the foot member can be pushed downwardly until it rests firmly on the ground. The locking mechanism will maintain the foot member in a lowered position where it will support the weight of the free-end of the gate. A handle can be activated to release the locking mechanism and enable the foot member to move to a raised position.

A lockset (10) is actuable by pivoting a lever (14) about a longitudinal axis of the lockset (10) by rotating the lever (14) and by pushing or pulling on the lever (14). An actuator linked to the lever extends into a retractor assembly (33) of the lockset and is configured to actuate a retractor (40) to retract a latch bolt (550) in order to enable a corresponding door (22) to be opened. The latch bolt (550) has a blocking surface (560) that is configured to engage an edge of a door strike plate (45) in order to prevent the door (22) from opening. The blocking surface (560) is inclined relative to an axis of the latch bolt (550).

A locking device for a lock including a box and a cover, such that the device can be isolated, which box includes therein a motor, a worm screw connected to the shaft of the motor, a locking shaft which is capable of sliding through a hole towards the outside of the box, and an elastic element with two ends, connecting the locking shaft with the worm screw, wherein one end of the elastic element is securely connected to the locking shaft and the other end is inserted between two threads of the worm screw such that, upon activating the motor, the worm screw rotates, moving the elastic element in order to drive the locking shaft, which transitions from being retracted to being extended and vice versa.

The present disclosure describes locking mechanisms comprising a locking component and a latching component. The locking component is within or otherwise connected to a first structure, such as a sliding door, and the latching component is within or connected to a second structure, such as a door jam. The latching component comprises a latch structure comprising features that can accept a portion of the locking component to lock the first structure to the second structure. In some embodiments, the latching component comprises a recess within the latching component. In some embodiments, the locking component comprises a rotating engagement structure configured to engage the latching component.

A medical appliance, in particular an apparatus for extracorporeal blood treatment, has a housing including a door and with a handle mechanism arranged at the door, via which the door can be locked with the housing via a locking mechanism. A part of the locking mechanism is formed at the handle mechanism in a part thereof that protrudes into the housing. A form-fit unit includes at least one form-fit element and at least one form-fit element counterpart, such that on locking and/or closing the door, the at least one form-fit element at least partly engages in the at least one form-fit element counterpart.
