A lock structure is provided for use with a dispenser comprising a housing have an interior volume for holding a dispensable product, the housing having openable part for providing access to the interior of the housing. The lock structure has a lock housing, a latch operable between a locked position and an unlocked position, a lock cylinder structure comprising a rotation means insert portion, and a resilient member for biasing the latch toward the locked position. The lock structure is provided with an overload protection mechanism formed by a resilient obstruction positioned to define an extreme position that corresponds to the locked or unlocked position of the latch and is adapted to give way upon experiencing an overload force to allow the lock cylinder structure to rotate beyond the extreme position.

An electronic lock cylinder that may be a direct replacement for a European-style standard cylinder is disclosed. The lock cylinder may include a core, a first shaft rotatably mounted in the core, and a second shaft rotatably mounted in the core and coaxial with the first shaft. A first cam and a second cam may be each rotatably mounted in the core and coaxial with the first shaft. The first cam may include a first lug and the second cam may include a second lug, where the first lug and the second lug may each be coupled to a deadbolt. A clutch may be disposed on the first shaft and shiftable from a first position to a second position, and a motor may be disposed in the core and operatively coupled to the clutch and configured to shift the clutch from the first position to the second position. When the clutch is in the first position, the first shaft is operatively coupled to the first cam, and the second shaft is decoupled from both the first cam and the second cam, when the clutch is in the second position, both the first shaft and the second shaft are operatively coupled to the second cam. The lock includes a first shaft rotatably mounted in the core and a second shaft rotatably mounted in the core and coaxial with the first shaft. A clutch is disposed on the first shaft and rotationally fixed to the first shaft but axially shiftable. The lock also includes a slider with a finger, where the finger is engaged with the clutch, and a motor is configured to shift the slider axially between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the clutch is disengaged from the second shaft, and in the second position, the clutch is engaged with the second shaft, such that rotation of the first shaft causes rotation of the second shaft.

An exemplary trim assembly comprises an escutcheon, a drive spindle, a lock mechanism, a cam mechanism, and a driver. The drive spindle is mounted to the escutcheon for rotation about a longitudinal axis. The lock mechanism includes a lock gear movably mounted in the escutcheon. The cam mechanism includes a first cam defined by the escutcheon and a second cam defined by the lock gear. The driver is operable to rotate the lock gear between a first rotational position and a second rotational position. The cam mechanism is configured to longitudinally drive the lock gear from a first longitudinal position to a second longitudinal position as the lock gear rotates from the first rotational position to the second rotational position. Movement of the lock gear between the first longitudinal position and the second longitudinal position transitions the lock mechanism between a locked state and an unlocked state.

A clutch assembly for a lock includes a driver (1), having a driver shaft (9); a coupler (3); and a follower (2). The driver (1), the coupler (3) and the driver shaft (9) are configured to rotate concentrically together. The coupler (3) is configured to move along the central axis of the driver shaft (9) to couple to or decouple from the follower (2). The driver (1) and the follower (2) are configured to rotate concentrically together when the coupler (3) is engaged to the follower (2), and wherein the driver (1) and the follower (2) are configured to rotate independently when the coupler (3) is disengaged from the follower (2).

A lock has a hook and a locking finger to form a locking loop. The hook is fixedly attached to the lock body, whereas the locking finger can be pivoted to disengage from the hook to open the lock. The pivotal movement of the locking finger is controlled by a latch and an extended edge. The latch has a tip and the locking finger has a cut-out to receive the tip when the lock is locked. When the lock is locked, a spindle prevents the extended edge from moving toward the latch for releasing the tip from the cut-out. When the lock is opened by the combination mechanism, the spindle is moved away to allow the extended edge to move toward the latch to release the tip from the cut-out. When the lock is opened by the key mechanism, turning the cylinder causes the extended edge to move the latch downward.

A lock device includes a latch and inner and outer operating devices disposed on two sides of the latch device. The inner operating device includes a main board configured to control the outer operating device to or not to move a latch between the latching position and the unlatching position. The outer operating device includes a removable input interface module electrically connectable with the main board. The input interface module is configured to permit input of an unlocking identification information or an unlocking command by a physical or wireless measure.

A clutch engagement assembly for a door lock device includes a first shaft having at an end thereof an insertion end portion in which a channel is formed; a second drive shaft having a hollow engagement end portion into which the insertion end portion of the first shaft is inserted; a driving member which provides a driving force; and a pin member that is installed in a state of being elastically supported in the engagement end portion of the second shaft and is movable by the driving member so as to extending through (be inserted in) at least a part of the first shaft and at least a part of the second shaft, thereby causing a clutch engagement or a disengagement between a first shaft and a second shaft. The clutch engagement assembly may provide a relatively small size structure of the door lock device and a firm engagement force.

An electric lock includes a housing, a clutch mechanism and a manual control member. The housing is formed with a driving structure having a first inclined surface, a second inclined surface and a bottom surface. The clutch mechanism includes a driving member having a pushing structure, an elastic member arranged on the driving member for abutting against the driving structure, a rotating member having a pushed structure, and a motor for driving the driving member to rotate. The manual control member is connected to the rotating member. When the motor drives the driving member to rotate relative to the driving structure, the elastic member abuts against the first or second inclined surface to push the driving member to move toward the rotating member, so as to allow the pushing structure to abut against the pushed structure, in order to further drive the rotating member to rotate the manual control member.
