WIRELESS CONTROLLED BLOCKING APPARATUS AND SINGLE POINT LOCKING SYSTEM
A wirelessly controlled blocking apparatus to enable a single-point locking system for securing multiple access points on a cabinet panel. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide for a wirelessly controlled blocking apparatus to enable a single-point locking system for securing multiple access points. In accordance with certain embodiments, the wirelessly controlled blocking apparatus is utilized to secure an access panel of an enclosure, such as an electronics cabinet. In accordance with certain preferred embodiments, an electronics cabinet comprises a plurality of quarter-turn cam latches being installed on the access panel and configured to selectively secure the access panel to an opening of the enclosure.
WEATHER-RESISTANT LOCK
A lock can include attack-resistant and/or weather-resistant features. Attack-resistant features can include a sacrificial link between a locking mechanism and an external keyway covering an exterior face of the locking mechanism. The sacrificial link can break during a torque attack on the lock such that the full force of the torque attack is not applied to the locking mechanism. Weather-resistant features can include drain openings in one or more housing components external to the locking mechanism to facilitate drainage of liquid matter from the lock before the liquid matter reaches the locking mechanism.
DOOR ASSEMBLY FOR DELIVERY VEHICLE
A vehicle includes a chassis, a body, and a door assembly. The body is supported by the chassis, and defines a driver compartment and a cargo compartment. The driver compartment has a cab opening and the cargo compartment has a cargo opening. The door assembly is coupled to the body and provides selective access into the driver compartment and into the cargo compartment through the cab opening and cargo opening, respectively. The door assembly includes a first door and a second door. The first door is movable between a first position extending across the cab opening and a second position extending at least partially across a portion of the cab opening. The second door is movable between a third position extending across the cargo opening and a fourth position extending at least partially across a portion of the cab opening.
Latch mechanism with status indicator
A latch mechanism is provided having a housing, a cap, and at least one indicator. The housing may include a first top surface. The cap may include a second top surface and may be mounted for selective rotational movement relative to the housing between a latched position and an unlatched position. The at least one indicator may be interposed between the cap and the housing and mounted for axial movement relative to the cap. As the cap is rotated from the latched position to the unlatched position, at least a portion of the indicator is axially displaced to an extended position above at least one of the first and second top surfaces.
Combination Lock with Electronic Override Key
A combination lock can be operated manually via the manipulation of dials and by way of an electronic key. The lock includes one or more rotatable selectors each having multiple indicia disposed thereon. Rotation of the rotatable selectors to predetermined indicia places the lock in the unlocked position. The lock can further include an electronic port and an actuator. Upon receipt of a predetermined credential via the port, the actuator can place the lock in in the unlocked position. The lock further includes a knob that, when the lock is in the unlocked position, can be rotated between a first position in which the lock is in a closed position and a second position in which the lock is in an open position. The combination lock may automatically scramble the positions of the dials upon opening for security purposes.
Accessory Flap Rotary Latch
An articulable panel in an aircraft galley includes one or more latches to secure the articulable panel in three dimensions and maintain the structural, load bearing integrity of the overall structure. The latches include color-coded indicators for a quick visual verification that the latches are secured.
QUARTER TURN TWIST LOCK DOOR LATCH
A quarter turn twist lock door latch.
Compression Latch
A compression latch is provided, which comprises a compression latch body comprising a first side and a second side opposite the first side, a handle extending from the first side and rotatable in an x-y plane, a rod extending from the second side in a z direction, a latch pawl connected to the rod and linear actuator connected to the handle and the rod.
TUBULAR LOCK AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING THE SAME
A tubular has a hollow housing, a lock core, a pin seat, multiple pin assemblies, and a covering assembly. Multiple upper through holes are separately formed through a head portion of the lock core. Multiple lower through holes are separately formed through the pin seat and align with the upper through holes of the lock core respectively. An assembler assembles the housing, the lock core, and the pin seat in a preliminary assembling step, then puts the pin assemblies into the upper through holes and the lower through holes from a rear end face of the pin seat in a detail assembling step, and then covers the lower through holes with the covering assembly in a packaging step. The pin assemblies do not fall from the upper through holes and the lower through holes easily. The tubular lock has simplified assembling steps and lowered difficulty of assembling.
COMBINATION LOCK WITH ELECTRONIC OVERRIDE KEY
A combination lock can be operated manually via the manipulation of dials and by way of an electronic key. The lock includes one or more rotatable selectors each having multiple indicia disposed thereon. Rotation of the rotatable selectors to predetermined indicia places the lock in the unlocked position. The lock can further include an electronic port and an actuator. Upon receipt of a predetermined credential via the port, the actuator can place the lock in in the unlocked position. The lock further includes a knob that, when the lock is in the unlocked position, can be rotated between a first position in which the lock is in a closed position and a second position in which the lock is in an open position. The combination lock may automatically scramble the positions of the dials upon opening for security purposes.
