Plug door opening-closing device
10449976 · 2019-10-22 · ·

A plug door opening-closing apparatus includes a lock mechanism, a drive mechanism, and a door support mechanism. The lock mechanism is directly or indirectly arranged on one of the upper and lower portions of at least one door of a vehicle. The lock mechanism locks the door when completely closed so that the door does not open. The drive mechanism is coupled to the lock mechanism and drives the lock mechanism to switch the door from an unlocked state to a locked state. The door support mechanism is mechanically coupled to the lock mechanism and supports the door. When the completely closed door is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state, the door support mechanism is adapted to hold the door and hinder outward displacement, in a vehicle width direction, of the other portion of the door where the lock mechanism is not arranged.

System and method for simple modular and flexible “blind vault lock” design to secure shipment of high-value cargo
10415268 · 2019-09-17 ·

Cargo locks are general massive, virtually armor plate grade materials, cables, tags, etc. hung on the outside of any configuration of cargo containers, enclosed cargo trucks, vans, semi-trailers, boxcars, etc. A few internal cargo area lock systems have been offered but are cost prohibitive, massive and not practical for other than a stationary installation. This makes them impractical for cargo containers, boxcars, and most semi-trailers because they are rarely re-used by the same party who invested in an elaborate stationary lock system. In a further development of U.S. Pat. No. 9,683,394, virtually anyone can install this flexible Lock Mechanism and Electronic Control (LM&EC) and achieve a secured cargo area by making all locks inaccessible from the outside. Similarly, the LM&EC system can be readily removed for reuse elsewhere or its access and control components modified to adapt to the reuse application or improve security for the present application.

MODULAR SURFACE MOUNTED ELECTRIC STRIKE

A modular surface mounted electric strike system is provided. The system comprises a universal base plate configured to be mounted to a door frame and including first and second mounting points. The system further includes an electric strike module configured to receive the door latch and includes a keeper assembly and an actuator assembly. The actuator assembly is configured for moving between a first mode for preventing the keeper assembly from moving toward an unlatched position and a second mode for permitting the keeper assembly to move toward the unlatched position. When the door latch is in a first position relative to the door frame, the electric strike module is attached to the first mounting point. When the door latch is in a second position relative to the door frame, the electric strike module is attached to the second mounting point of the universal base plate.

Means for securing against operating errors for leaves of a window or door that can be slid together

A fitting assembly has a device for securing against operating errors that has a first protrusion which can be moved relative to a second protrusion by means of a first operating rod assembly. A buffer can be provided between the end sides of the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The first protrusion can be a cylinder and/or the second protrusion can extend in an elongated manner. The fitting assembly can have an anti-lifting device with a third protrusion which prevents a lifting of the first leaf. The fitting assembly has multiple carriages and multiple sliders in order to position leaves of the window or the door into their slide position in parallel with the main plane of the window or the door. In the blocking position, the leaves can be pressed against a fixed frame of the window or the door via the fitting assembly with multiple carriages and multiple sliders, in order to reliably seal the window or the door.
