Personal restraints are described, including a user-accessible button that can be pushed in sliding a lock bar into a double lock position.

The proposed handcuff in the invention employs an innovative locking mechanism, which stops further tightening of the handcuff when the force applied on the wrist of hand or ankle of foot is greater than 1.5 lbs (or any preset value), and prevents physical injuries from over-tightening without compromising the restrain. The handcuff is 50% faster in restraining by automatically locking instead of manually push-to-locking. The handcuff has the same shape/size/cost of the handcuffs currently used by police officer, and is compatible with current training procedure or SOP.

A door barricade apparatus includes a body portion having a pushing face, a port, an advancing interface, and a release interface. The apparatus further includes a shaft portion having a shaft and a door bracket. The door bracket has a throat terminating in at least an l-shaped configuration. The door bracket is pivotably coupled to the shaft at a first end and the shaft is disposed within the port.

The present invention discloses a retainer mechanism, comprising a first engagement assembly that is configured to be actively moved to one of a hold or a release state of the first engagement assembly, and a second engagement assembly that is configured to be passively moved to one of a hold or a release state of the second engagement assembly.

The control comprises a handle flush mounted in a support and a kinematic chain for driving the handle in movement, comprising at least one rotary element for driving the handle in angular movement and at least one driving member configured to accumulate mechanical energy by mechanical work during a push-in action of the handle and to restitute mechanical energy to the drive kinematic chain after release of the handle. The handle includes a means for stabilizing the kinematic chain configured to limit the angulation of the rotary element of the chain during the push-in of the handle.

A closure latch assembly for a motor vehicle closure panel includes a housing; a ratchet pivotably mounted for movement between striker capture and a striker release positions; a release lever, and a pawl assembly. Pawl assembly includes a first and second pawls. First pawl is pivotably mounted to housing for movement about a first pivot axis between ratchet checking and ratchet releasing positions in response to movement of release lever. Second pawl is pivotably mounted to first pawl for movement about a second pivot axis spaced from first pivot axis. Second pawl is engaged with ratchet locking surface while first pawl is in the ratchet checking position to releasably maintain ratchet in the striker capture position. Second pawl is pivotal relative to first pawl about second pivot axis when first pawl pivots toward the ratchet releasing position to allow ratchet to pivot to the striker release position.

Disclosed is a sliding window emergency opening system, comprising: an emergency opening device (2) and a general opening control device (3); wherein a first rotary shaft (202) in the emergency opening device is rotatably mounted on a first base (201); a first pulling cable (206) is wound around the first rotary shaft (202), and one end thereof is connected with a movable sash of the sliding window (1); a first ratchet (203) is fixedly connected with the first rotary shaft (202); a first elastic component is compressed to make a first pawl (204) abut against the first ratchet (203); a second rotary shaft (302) in the general opening control device (3) is rotatably mounted on a second base (301); one end of a general control pulling cable (303) is connected with the second rotary shaft (302), and the other end is connected with the first pawl (204); when the second rotary shaft (302) rotates, the general control pulling cable (303) is wound up to make the first pawl (204) detached from the first ratchet (203); under the action of the gravity of the movable sash in the sliding window, the first pulling cable (206) drives the first rotary shaft (202) to rotate so as to open the movable sash. In practical application, the general opening control device (3) may be provided at a location far from the emergency opening device (2), and the emergency opening device may be remotely controlled to open the movable sash.

A reel locking device includes: a reel seat; a vertical reel rotatably connected to the reel seat and used for retracting and releasing a gate mesh; a synchronization member fixedly connected to one end of the vertical reel; an automatic locking mechanism that prevents the synchronization member from rotating freely and that includes a resettable manual unlocking slider; and an elastic pressing mechanism that obstructs the movement of the manual unlocking slider and that includes a pressing member that does not obstruct the movement of the manual unlocking slider after being pressed, and that when not pressed or after resetting obstructs the movement of the manual unlocking slider. A mesh type gate is further disclosed including the above reel seat on one side and a buckle seat on another side, where a free end of the gate mesh includes a pull ring for being fastened to the buckle seat.

The opening control includes a handle pivotally mounted on a support prone to adopt a pushed position, an intermediate rest position and an ejected position as well as electrical and mechanical means for driving in movement the handle and coupled with the handle of the vehicle such that the application of a predefined force on the handle causes the mechanical or electrical activation. It includes a hard point crossing means configured to define a pattern of evolution of a value of a force applied on the handle as a function of a push-in stroke of the handle between its rest position and the pushed position, including a crossing of a hard point separating first and second portions of the stroke.

A tool box or tool cabinet (hereafter: “tool box”) is provided with a locking mechanism having a locked condition in which it prevents access to tools within the tool box, and an unlocked condition in which it allows access to tools within the tool box. An electric motor has a rotor, and is provided with a microprocessor and control circuit, coupled to the motor for controlling it. The microprocessor is adapted to receive Bluetooth signals when paired to a user's portable Bluetooth-enabled mobile device, The microprocessor and control circuit are effective, when the user's portable Bluetooth-enabled mobile device is sufficiently close to the control circuit to be detected, to energise the motor to rotate the rotor in a first sense, effective to disable the locking mechanism to allow access to the tools.
