Electronic access system and method for retrofitting an electronic access system

An electronic access system and method utilizes a modular latch system and method. The modular latch system and method include a reader module and latch module. The reader module includes a user interface with one or more readers or devices for receiving input from a user, and sending the input to a controller. The latch module is configured for mounting to a closure that provides access to the secure area. The latch module can be operated in a stand-alone mode while detached from the reader module. Alternatively, the latch module can be releasably engaged to the reader module and operated in an assembled mode. The modular system and method allow for engagement of the reader module to the latch module, disengagement of the reader module from the latch module, and engagement of an alternate reader module to the latch module for retrofitting the reader module with the alternate reader module.

Latch apparatus

A wire crate latch apparatus having, in a first embodiment, a pivoting member that is continually drawn to a closed position by gravity and that is deflected into a catch when the door having the pivoting member is swung closed. The latch apparatus further includes upper and lower stops to contain a distal end of the pivoting member and to hold the distal end in the position to hit an oblique portion of the catch when the door is closed. In a second embodiment, a sliding latch apparatus is deflected by a catch and is relatively inaccessible from inside of the wire crate by back plates on the latch and catch.

NOVEL CODE WHEEL COMBINATION LOCK
20230127631 · 2023-04-27 ·

Disclosed in the present invention is a novel code wheel combination lock, comprising a knob and a face plate that can rotate with respect to each other, a lock tongue, and a code wheel assembly. The code wheel assembly comprises a base having an accommodation cavity, a code wheel shaft, several sets of bushings and code wheels, a reset mechanism, a positioning member, and a protection frame; the base is mounted on the face plate; the code wheel shaft passes through a movement cavity and can axially moves; the bushings are sleeved on the code wheel shaft and can rotate together with the code wheel shaft or with respect to the code wheel shaft; the code wheels are sleeved on the bushings and can rotate together with the bushings or with respect to the bushings; the reset mechanism is used for resetting the code wheels; the positioning member is used for limiting reset of the code wheels; the protection frame is used for changing the matching mode between the code wheels and the bushings; in the rotation of the knob and the face plate with respect to each other, there are a first position, a second position and a third position to respectively implement the functions of locking, automatic code wheel reset, and manual password setting. The present invention has a function of automatically resetting the code wheels after unlocking and before locking, thereby improving the product safety and preventing password exposure.

LOCK MECHANISM WITH STATE INDICATION FUNCTION

A lock mechanism with state indication function includes a housing, a cap and an indicator. The indicator includes active and passive indicators arranged circumferentially around a central axis. The active indicator includes a cam matching surface extending circumferentially around the central axis and a stopping end located at an end of the cam matching surface corresponding to the pivoting center of the active indicator. The radial convex portion slides along the cam matching surface to make the active indicator rotate away from the central axis. The radial convex portion pushes the stopping end of the active indicator to make the active indicator rotate to a recovery position in which the indicating portion is covered by the cap. The passive indicator is in linkage connection with the active indicator through a gear transmission device, making the passive indicator be unfolded and folded synchronously along with the active indicator.
