Passive door bolt assembly
A bolt assembly for securing a passive door panel relative to an entryway frame. The bolt assembly comprises an anchoring base fixed relative to the passive door panel. The base has at least one column of spaced apart teeth extending from a side there. The column of spaced apart teeth provides notches between the teeth and adjacent to at least one end of the at least one column. The bolt assembly also has a bolt to slide relative to the base between at least a first position and a second position. The bolt includes a slide having a finger for mating into at least one of the notches in the first position and the second position. The bolt also has a pin attached to the slide for movement therewith. The pin is able to engage the entryway frame when the bolt is in the second position.
Electronic lock
An electronic lock defines an open position and a closed position and includes a mobile carriage moveable in a linear manner. The mobile carriage is coupled to a closure element and to an actuation mechanism. A first spring is provided between the mobile carriage and the closure element and is configured to move in relation to the mobile carriage. A lock sensor is provided for controlling the position of the closure element. An electronic control module is connected to the sensor for identifying non-authorized manipulations of the lock when it should be closed. The lock sensor detects when the closure element is in the open position or, if it should be open, the lock sensor does not detect when the closure element is in the open position.
A LOCK HEAD
A lock head includes a first end with an engagement element and a second end opposite the engagement element, the first end of the lock head transitions between a first and second configuration, the first configuration allows positioning of the engagement element and the second configuration secures the first end using the engagement element.
QUICK FASTENING AND/OR CONNECTION SYSTEM
A quick connection and/or fastening system suited to mutually connect and disconnect a first and a second element is disclosed, the system including a first and a second component that are suited to be rigidly fixed to the first and second elements, respectively, the first component and the second component being also suited to be mutually connected and disconnected, the second component being suited to house an end portion of the first component in such a way as to allow its translation inside the second component, the second component comprising also counteracting elements suited to counteract the translation of the end portion of the first component towards the outside of the second component.
Latch assembly
A latch assembly disposed in an anti-fire door includes a tube, a blocking pin, an elastic member and a wedging member, wherein the tube comprises a main body and an accommodating space. The main body comprises a constraining slot communicating with the accommodating space, wherein the blocking pin, the elastic member and the wedging member are disposed in the accommodating space. The elastic member is used for pushing the blocking pin and the wedging member to move and making the blocking pin protruding to the tube and lodging in a door frame. The wedging member lodged in the constraining slot is used for blocking the blocking pin protruded to the tube therefore preventing the blocking pin from retracting back into the accommodating space.
Panel lock assembly
An apparatus for locking a panel to a strike jamb includes a synchronous displacement mechanism associated with a locking element (108) which is responsive to part of a closing motion of a panel (104) from an open position towards a closed position to initiate a motion of locking element (108) towards the locked position during the closing motion of the panel prior to the panel reaching its closed position. The synchronous displacement mechanism preferably has a deadlock state when the locking element is in the locked position which prevents displacement of the locking element towards the unlocked position.
Automatic stall latch device
The present invention relates to a novel automatic stall latch device. The device is a secure, automatic latch for stall doors that house livestock, but can be retrofitted to any sliding door. The device comprises a locking plate and a wedge that the locking plate slides over to lock the door. A narrow rod is then installed on the side of the sliding door to operate the automatic latch. The locking plate is bolted to the top of the stall or sliding door and operated via the narrow rod that runs down the side of the door. The rod can be actuated to open the stall door. When the door is closed, the locking plate automatically connects to the wedge component that bolts to the top of the stall wall next to the closed door.

Connector Assembly and Related Methods
A connector assembly includes a connector body and a lock member. The connector body includes a plurality of walls, a locking arm, and an inner portion. The plurality of walls define a cavity configured to receive a terminal. The locking arm is coupled to a first wall of the plurality of walls and includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a lock tab extending from the first surface. The inner portion is disposed within the cavity. The lock member is removably-disposed within the cavity and defines an aperture configured to receive the terminal. In an assembled configuration, the locking arm inhibits removal of the lock member from the cavity, and the lock member is disposed between the lock tab and the inner portion.
