A modular locker system can include a locker base, a locker tower, and a modular locker. The modular locker system allows different sized modular lockers to be interchanged to achieve a number of modular locker configurations. The contents of the modular lockers can be accessed by inputting a code to unlock a door included in the modular locker.

A cam lock for cabinets, drawers, drug cabinets, credenzas, sliding doors, lockers, mail boxes and other door type applications is compact in size, fits an existing cam lock opening and provides electronic access via a keypad or other electronic access. Using batteries, such as AAA size batteries or smaller, the lock has electronics that release a lock turn knob or handle when the correct code is entered. Preferably a set of electronic contacts is included at an accessible position on the lock housing to allow both master access and power jumping with a common manager's implement, for situations of lost codes and/or battery failure. In a particular embodiment the lock is long, narrow and low in profile so as to fit on the margin of a steel or wood file cabinet, compatible with the cam lock opening already provided. The locks, NFC-enabled, can be used in securing delivery boxes to enable delivery access, when authorized.

A profile rail (1) is provided for forming a locker system (2) having a plurality of lockers (21, . . . , 26). The profile rail (1) is formed to integrate a locking mechanism (31) of one of the lockers (21) within the profile rail (1). The profile rail (1) comprises a lamella device (11) to cover the integrated locking mechanism (31; 32). The lamella device (11) is arranged to be displaceable in the direction of the longitudinal extension (L) of the profile rail (1). The lamella device (11) can be retained at a retaining site (12) of the profile rail (1) against longitudinal displacement.

A modular latch bar is formed from a first segment that is configured to be connected to a locker handle and one or more extension segments which are attached to the first segment. One of the segments has an elongated body having a front surface, a back surface, a first end and a second end; and a T-shaped locking tab extending from the first end. Another segment has an elongated body having a front surface, a back surface, a first end and a second end. This segment has a T-shaped recess on the back surface. The T-shaped recess is sized and configured to receive the T-shaped locking tab and create a friction fit between the T-shaped locking tab and segment having the T-shaped recess. A post may be provided in the recess that fits into a hole in the T-shaped locking tab to provide a snap fit connection.

A secure mobile phone storage and wristband dispensing kiosk includes a support portion and a locker portion. The locker portion includes a plurality of storage compartments and a plurality of dispensing compartments. An authenticator is provided for authenticating the user of an individual storage compartment and dispensing compartment. A series of electronic wristbands are individually stored in each dispensing compartment. A processor is configured to condition unlocking a dispensing compartment upon successful connection of a mobile phone to a charging station in a storage compartment, and to condition unlocking a storage compartment upon successful authentication and installation of one of the electronic wristbands in a storage compartment, thereby allowing a user to store and charge a mobile phone while wearing a wristband that can receive rudimentary communications from the phone.

A locker assembly insert (10) for a cabinet (11) (shown in phantom). In this case the cabinet (11) is a two door cabinet having a first door (12) and a second door (13) (these doors are shown open in FIG. 4), The cabinet has a base (14) opposite sides (15) (and 16), a back (17) and a top (18). A central mullion (19) having a rear cover plate divides the cabinet (11) down the middle and the doors (12) and (13) close the cabinet. The locker assembly insert (10) in this case is applied to a two door cabinet and has a central support member (20) (which is put in place by first removing the rear cover plate behind the central mullion (19), the rear cover plate is tucked in behind the central support member (20) before assembly allowing it to be reused if the refrigerator is ever restored to its original condition), a pair of vertical side rails (21) and (22), a pair of bases (23) and (24), a pair of tops (25) and (26). This gives the basic door frame. The insert is completed using vertical divider sets (27, 28 and 29) and ten door locker door assemblies (30) and (31).

A method for facilitating collection of items without human interaction involves providing a banks of compartments, with the bank of compartments having a plurality of individual compartments. The method involves instructing the customer to use a personal electronic device upon arrival to communicate with a server. The method involves programming the server to respond to communication from the customer by providing a temporary communication interface. Upon the customer providing information deemed necessary to the server via the temporary communication interface, the server directs the customer to a selected one of the plurality of individual compartments. Where theft is a concern, each of the individual compartments may have a door locked by an electronic lock controlled by the server.

The invention relates to a mechanical lock (37) for a plurality of keys (26) that can be authorized with a different code (39), with discriminated opening using a selection device (1) that can be activated manually from outside, a signaling element for displaying the selected code (2) (3), a manual closure (4) and locking (19) (15) mechanism, integrated with a modular set of lockers (FIG. 15) for delivery home and collection of parcels. The invention allows the use of a limited number of modular lockers for a larger set of users without requiring computer applications, electricity or an internet connection during the delivery, which is especially for common areas of communities of residents, building lobbies, housing estates, shared spaces or offices.

Systems, devices, and methods of locking a lockable volume. The lock may comprise a bolt and a slider. The slider moves linearly to move the bolt in position to engage a securement feature. The engagement of the bolt with the securement feature secures the securement feature, thereby locking the door to which the securement feature is attached.

Locking device is disclosed for parcel boxes or lockers. The device comprises a user operable handle and a lock mechanism comprising a motor to rotate a pinion to move a rack attached to a handle-blocker and to a deadbolt. The handle-blocker controls transition of the user operable handle between open and closed positions due to movement of the rack, and simultaneously the deadbolt is configured to move between locking and unlocking positions. In the closed position, the handle-blocker and the handle-body have a linear connection with each other and in open position this connection is lost. The handle may be activated by tapping the handle-cover, or by using an RFID, NFC or by mobile technologies. A method to operate opening and closing a parcel box locked with the locking device allows one or more users to access the parcel box via software application paired with the device.
