The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock which is equipped with a body-side lock housing and a hood-or-door-side locking bolt or vice-versa. The invention also relates to a locking and/or opening device. According to the invention, the locking and/or opening device engages on the outer side on the lock housing for the adjustment thereof with respect to a fixed base element in the course of a closing/opening process.

A lock includes a housing assembly, an actuatable lock assembly and a latching assembly. The actuatable lock assembly is positionable in at least a closed orientation and an open orientation. The latching assembly further includes a latch, a cam and a motor. The latch, having a cam profile, is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the actuatable lock assembly is maintained in the closed orientation. In the unlocked position, the actuatable lock assembly is positionable into an open orientation. The cam is rotatably mounted and has a first follower configured to intermittently coact with the cam profile of the latch, to, in turn, move the latch between the locked position and the unlocked position. The motor is coupled to the cam. Actuation of the motor causes rotation of the cam, resulting in movement of the latch between the locked and unlocked positions.

The invention relates to an actuation device for a flap mounted moveably on a component between a closed position and an opened position, in particular for a flap mounted moveably on a housing of an automobile, comprising: a first actuation part and a second actuation part, wherein the first actuation part is to be fastened on the flap and is moved together with the flap when the flap is moved between the closed position and the opened position, and wherein the second actuation part is to be fastened on the component, locking means with a locking reception provided on the first or second actuation part and a locking element provided on the other of first or second actuation part, wherein the locking element engages in the locking reception upon a movement of the first actuation part with the flap from its opened position into its closed position, whereby the locking element holds the first actuation part against a spring pretension in a locking position on the second actuation part, and a remote unlocking device, wherein the remote unlocking device comprises drive means, which can be actuated from a place distant from the actuation parts such that the locking element is retracted from the locking reception, whereby the first actuation part, driven by the spring pretension, disengages from the second actuation part and moves together with the flap at least partially into its opened position.

A lock, attachable to a coupling in a bushing coupled to an outside structure, includes a housing, an actuatable lock assembly and a latching assembly. The actuatable lock assembly is rotatable relative to the housing assembly in a closed orientation and an open orientation, and, has a spindle member having a knob attachment portion and a coupling attachment portion. Here, the spindle member and a knob are configured to rotate relative to the housing assembly. The coupling attachment portion is extendable into a central bore and attachable to a coupling. Upon attachment, relative rotation of the spindle member and the coupling is substantially precluded. The latching assembly is positionable in one of a locked position and an unlocked position. The latching assembly is positioned within the cavity of the housing assembly and includes a motor to direct the actuatable lock assembly from a closed orientation to the open orientation.

A door locking device for a door of a household appliance is provided, the device comprising: a housing; a coupling member, having a first end portion and a second end portion, pivotally mounted at a fulcrum within said housing; an actuator, operably coupled to said first end portion of said coupling member and adapted to controllably move said coupling member between a first position and a second position about said fulcrum; a locking pin, operably coupled to said second end portion of said coupling member and configured to slidably move between an unlocked position, when said coupling member is in said first position, and a locked position, when said coupling member is in said second position; wherein said fulcrum is located between said first end portion and said second end portion so as to provide a mechanical lever advantage for a force applied to said first end portion by said actuator and imparted onto said locking pin by said second end portion.

The present sliding security door system includes a sliding security door extending between an upper track and a lower track. Separate motive and locking assemblies drive and secure the door, respectively. A control assembly in the system is capable of separately activating motive and locking effectors to allow for separate movement and locking/unlocking of the door. Because of this, the system is compact and capable of deployment in otherwise too-small spaces.

An electronically linked cabinet lock includes an electronic device and a locking module. The electronic device includes a sensing element installed onto a surface of the cabinet, and a main body, located in an interior of the cabinet, connected to the sensing element via a signal, and having a movable telescopic rod. The locking module is installed within a telescopic range of the movable telescopic rod and includes a fixed seat, a first slider and a second slider, and the first slider and the second slider are movably installed in the fixed seat, and an end of the movable telescopic rod is connected to the first slider to synchronously link the second slider to move vertically. By triggering the sensing element to generate a drive signal, all slide rails used by the drawers are locked/unlocked synchronously, so as to broaden the scope of applicability and enhance the practicality.

A smart motor-drive mechanism for multi-point slam lock includes an outer panel, an inner unit and an operating cylinder assembly arranged between the inner and outer units. The inner unit includes a battery holder and a motor. The outer side of the inner unit has a thumb turn matched with the motor through a blade receiver. A control mechanism in the inner unit is connected with the motor. The operating cylinder assembly includes a cylinder body and a cylinder drive bar assembly on the cylinder body. The blade receiver is matched and connected with the cylinder drive bar assembly. The smart motor-drive mechanism can achieve one-click unlocking and locking by arranging the motor on the operating cylinder assembly and controlling the motor by the button to drive the operating cam to rotate, thereby controlling the retraction or extension of the latch bolt, and is simple and convenient in use.
