A device may limit opening of a sash hingedly coupled to a master frame, and includes: a bracket attached to the sash; a first arm having a first end pivotally coupled to the bracket; a second arm having a first end pivotally coupled to the first arm's second end; means for biasing the second arm into a retracted position; and a release assembly. The release assembly is secured to the master frame and includes a hook pivotable between a first position and a second position, which, in the first position, may be releasably received in an opening in the second end of the second arm when the second arm is in the retracted position, as the sash is closed and received within the master window frame The second arm is disengaged from the hook, permitting full opening of the sash, when the hook is pivoted into the second position.

A latch assembly for a door includes automatically deployable deadbolt. When the door is closed and the latch engages a strike plate, the deadbolt automatically extends into a corresponding opening in a door jamb to secure the door.

An illustrative motor drive assembly is configured for use in a lockset comprising a case, a longitudinally movable link, and a catch configured to move among a locking position and an unlocking position in response to longitudinal movement of the link. The illustrative motor drive assembly includes a longitudinally extending shaft comprising a worm, a motor operable to rotate the shaft, a driver engaged with the worm, and a longitudinally extending spring. The spring is not directly engaged with the worm, and includes a first end coupled with the driver and a second end connectable with the link. Engagement between the worm and driver is configured to longitudinally move the driver in response to rotation of the shaft.

This invention relates to locking devices and particularly to an actuator assembly for a locking device with electronic control. The actuator assembly includes: a motor, having a drive shaft installed to a motor shaft, and a coil spring installed to the drive shaft, and further includes: a follower shaft capable of displacing in an axial direction in the coil spring, and a pin installed onto the follower shaft and rotatable into the coil spring, and the follower shaft is extended into the coil spring and slidably fitted to the coil spring. Compared with the prior art, this invention effectively maintains a radial limitation of the cylinder spring to overcome the vibration of the spring occurred during the rotation of the cylinder spring and the axial displacement of the follower shaft.

A door outside handle is provided. The door outside handle includes a first base to which a handle lever connected with a handle grip is coupled; a second base which is coupled with a hinge portion of the handle grip and formed to be separated from the first base, and performs pivotal movement toward the inside of a door with respect to the first base when a crash occurs; and a connection member connecting the first base and the second base together and facilitating the pivotal movement of the second base.

The invention relates to the technical field of locks and discloses an actuator assembly of a combination lock. The actuator assembly includes a fixed motor, a drive shaft fixed to the axis of the motor, a cylindrical spring sheathed on the drive shaft and displaceable axially, a pin installed onto the drive shaft which may screw within two adjacent loops of the cylindrical spring, and a casing installed coaxially with the motor. The casing includes a cavity for accommodating the cylindrical spring, and a second sliding groove formed on the casing, and both ends of the cylindrical spring have a retaining ring extended outwardly from the outer periphery of the cylindrical spring and the retaining ring disposed at the second sliding groove for preventing the rotation of the cylindrical spring.

A door lock for a handle, comprises a housing, a rotatable connector inside the housing, a first elastic element and a second elastic element both arranged inside the housing. The rotatable connector is interacted with the handle. The first elastic element is at least configured to provide a restoring force for the handle to return to its origin position when the handle is rotated upward to lock the door, and the second elastic element is configured to provide a restoring force for the handle to return to its origin position when the handle is rotated downward to unlock and open the door, as well as to provide enough resistance to remain handle at its origin position when the handle is released. The door lock is effort-saving for the users to rotate the handle upward, and also adapted for various handles having different weights, to be remained at the origin position when the handle is released.
