The invention relates to a lock (1) which can be actively released and locked by control technology, particularly for use in automatic storage machines having a plurality of compartments with compartment doors (2) which are to be opened individually, and to an automatic storage machine having at least one such lock (1). The lock (1) comprises a detent pawl (14), which can lock a locking element (9), which is permanently connected to a compartment door (2), in the lock such that the compartment door (2) can be held in closed position. The lock further has a first electric drive element (17) which transitions the detent pawl (14) from the locking position to a release position upon the applying of electrical power, such that the compartment door (2) can be opened. The lock (1) further comprises a security device (32), which prevents an automatic reset of the detent pawl (14) from the release position to the locking position when the lock (1) is in an unpowered state or the automatic storage machine is in an unpowered state, and an unintentional, accidental or improper locking of a compartment door can thus be avoided. In order to properly lock a compartment door, the security device (32) of the lock (1) comprises a second electric drive element, by means of which the detent pawl (14) can be transitioned back to the locking position thereof upon the applying of electrical power to said second electric drive element during closing of the compartment door (2).

A bear-resistant waste disposal container comprises a bin, a handle, and a lid rotatably connected to the handle. A bin collar surrounds an upper perimeter of the bin, and a lid collar surrounds an outer perimeter of the lid. A picket extends upwardly from inside the bin, through an aperture in the lid, and through an aperture in a lid frame. A carabiner or other locking device is removably insertable through an opening in the upper portion of the picket to lock the lid in a closed position.

A lock cylinder assembly includes a housing, a first cylinder disposed within a first bore formed in the housing, and a second cylinder disposed within a second bore formed in the housing, in which at least one of the first and second cylinders is an electronic cylinder. The lock cylinder assembly further includes first and second cams, in which each of the first and second cams are configured to actuate a door lock mechanism. The first cam is directly connected to the second cylinder so as to be rotatable with the second cylinder. The second cylinder and the second cam are rotatable with respect to each other so that the second cam does not rotate with the second cylinder. The second cam is rotatably coupled to the first cylinder so that the second cam rotates when the first cylinder is rotated.

A door lock system includes a shaft and a cam. The cam is supported on the shaft for rotation with the shaft, and for movement along the shaft throughout a range of door lock release locations. A selector engages the cam to move the cam along the shaft upon rotation of the selector. An actuator lock has a closed condition blocking rotation of the shaft, and has an open condition permitting rotation of the shaft. The actuator lock prevents rotation of the cam at any of the door lock release locations when the actuator lock is in the closed condition.

The present invention discloses a door lock structure for a pet cage. The door lock structure comprises a cage body on which at least one entrance and exit and a cage door matched with the entrance and exit are arranged. A plurality of pivot rings is arranged on one side of the cage door, sleeves a door frame on the edge of the entrance and is rotatable about the door frame. At least two limit sliding rods which are parallel to each other are arranged on the cage door, and a lock that is slidable on the limit sliding rods is installed on the limit sliding rods. The lock comprises a traveling mechanism that clamps the limit sliding rods, and a plurality of tension springs is installed on one side of the traveling mechanism close to the door frame. A plurality of lock bolt assemblies that moves synchronously with the traveling mechanism is also arranged on the traveling mechanism, and the lock bolt assemblies are matched with and locked with lock hole mechanisms provided on the corresponding door frame. The door lock structure is simple and exquisite in structure and design. Through the joint action of the traveling mechanism, the lock bolts and the tension springs, on the one hand, a plurality of lock bolts can be controlled at the same time; on the other hand, a plurality of parts of the cage door can be locked. The door block structure is simple and reliable and is easy to operate.

A lockout system includes a hasp assembly and a plurality of tags. The hasp assembly has a back plate defining slots each sized and shaped to receive a tag. The back plate and tags each have openings that align when a tag is received in a slot. A first hasp portion has a first loop portion and a second hasp portion has a second loop portion. The first and second hasp portions are rotatable with respect to one another such that moving the lockout system has both an unlocked position and a locked position associated with an open position and a closed position. In the closed position, the first and second hasp portions complete and define a closed loop, where one or more tags can be installed in slots preventing further movement from the closed position.

A lock release mechanism is disclosed. The lock release mechanism comprises a chassis adapted to receive a first lock comprising a first bolt and a second lock comprising a second bolt, the first and second lock distanced from each other, a linkage mechanism, a connector, a drive mechanism and a lever. The linkage mechanism comprises at least one arm in operative connection with at least one of the first and second lock. The connector has a first position in which the linkage mechanism is engaged and a second position in which the linkage mechanism is disengaged. The drive mechanism is operable to move the connector between the first and second positions. When the connector is in the first position, rotation of the lever causes unitary movement of the first and second bolts, and when the connector is in the second position, rotation of the lever causes movement of the second but not the first bolt.

A system for monitoring the state of a hook-keeper unit of an aeronautical structure. The hook-keeper unit is movable between a latched state and in a non-latched state, a mechanical warning element is movable between an exposed state and an unexposed state, and a connecting mechanism comprises a first end coupled to the hook-keeper unit, and a second end coupled to the mechanical warning element. The connecting mechanism is configured to automatically transmit the state of the hook-keeper unit to the mechanical warning element. The hook-keeper unit and the mechanical warning element are coupled between them by the connecting mechanism in an automatic bijective relationship, so that when the hook-keeper unit is in the latched state, the mechanical warning element is automatically in the unexposed state, and when the hook-keeper unit is in the non-latched state, the mechanical warning element is automatically in the exposed state.

Disclosed is a device for centrally arranging locks for doors of a gaming machine's housing. The device including remote locking units of which each remote locking unit is assigned one or more locks and includes a remote power transmission unit, a displaceable unit operatively coupled to a first end of the remote power transmission unit, and a locking member operatively coupled to a second end of the remote power transmission unit. Each lock includes a blocking member. The remote power transmission unit transmits a displacement of the displaceable unit from the first to the second position such that the locking member releases a latching mechanism of a door whereas the locking member locks the latching mechanism when the displaceable unit is in the first position.

An operating arrangement for at least one motor vehicle latch, in particular a flap operating arrangement for two motor vehicle flap latches placed at a distance from one another and provided with a drive train. Furthermore, a lever arrangement interacting with the drive train is provided. Moreover, there is provided at least one transmission attached to the lever arrangement to act upon the at least one motor vehicle latch. The lever arrangement has an operating lever to act upon the transmission and a locking lever that blocks the operating lever at least when in a “locked” position, wherein the drive train works upon the locking lever.
