A robotic door lock includes a lockable spinner having a spinner shell coupled to a bolt rail and an axial profile coupled to a door handle or knob. A processor selectively engages the spinner shell with the axial profile via an actuator to enable the manipulation of the bolt. The robotic lock has a wireless module, an actuator, and a processor in communication with the actuator and a wireless module. The wireless module uses a wireless energy harvester configured to receive energy from a user device or a post infrastructure to power the processor, the actuator and the memory. The wireless energy harvester may be connected to an internal energy storage.

A door lock mechanism that rotates a cam mechanism to lock or unlock an enclosure. The mechanism includes a bias member that is coupled to the cam mechanism with a cam pin, where the cam pin is located on one side of the centerline of the lock in the locked state, and on the other side of the centerline of the lock in the unlocked state, to bias the cam mechanism into either the locked or unlocked state. Further disclosed are one or more stop mechanisms that prevent the cam mechanism from over-rotating past the locked or unlocked position. The bias member can further absorb impact from the lock rods of the door lock mechanism contacting the stop mechanisms.

A shared storage cabinet and a lock thereof are disclosed. The shared storage cabinet includes a cabinet body and a lock installed on the cabinet body. The cabinet body is divided into a plurality of cells by means of a frame thereof. The cabinet lock includes a lock body, a locking piece and a locking and unlocking assembly. The lock body is laterally inserted into and fixed within the frame of the cabinet body. The locking and unlocking assembly is disposed within the lock body. One end of the locking piece is pivotally connected to one side of the lock body, while the other end of the locking piece rotates about the end thereof to achieve locking/unlocking in cooperation with the locking and unlocking assembly of another adjacent cabinet lock on the frame.

An actuating apparatus for opening and closing a cover in or on a vehicle has a blocking device for blocking the cover in a locked position. The blocking device has a transmission mechanism with a rotation part (64.1; 50) mounted rotatably and driveable by an actuator (34), and a blocking bar (62) which is operatively connected to the rotation part. The transmission mechanism converts a rotation movement of the rotation part into an axial movement of the blocking bar. The blocking bar is transferable with the aid of the rotation part from a release position into a blocking position. The transmission mechanism is self-locking so that, at least whenever the blocking bar is in the blocking position, the rotation part is not driveable via an axial movement of the blocking bar, and the rotation part prevents an axial movement of the blocking bar out of the blocking position.

A wireless ultra-low power portable lock may be realized as a lock apparatus including: a locking mechanism having at least locked and unlocked states, the locking mechanism operable to provide physical resistance to being unlocked when in the locked state; an actuator operable to move the locking mechanism from the locked state to the unlocked state in response to a received signal; and a controlling unit configured to control the actuator and to receive one or more signals from one or more devices external to the lock apparatus.

A lamp assembly for a vehicle comprising a housing and a securing system for securing the lamp assembly to the vehicle body. The securing system is arranged in the housing and comprises at least one latch movable between a retracted position and a locking position ; an electromagnet to attract a ferromagnetic member secured to the latchin order to move the latch to the locking position; a receiver coupled to a transmitter located inside the vehicle body, the receiver and the transmitter being part of a wireless power transfer device, the receiver being configured to power the electromagnet; and a retaining system configured to retain the latch in the locking position and which can be released to an inactive state for allowing the latch to move to the retracted position.

A safety switch includes a movably mounted locking bolt configured to lock an actuator in a defined locking position relative to the safety switch. The safety switch includes a movably mounted locking bulkhead movable between a first position and a second position. The locking bulkhead is configured to fix the movably mounted locking bolt in the second position via a positive fit.

A door lock for a domestic electrical appliance includes a locking member which is electrically switchable between an unlocking position and a locking position, which locking member in the unlocking position allows a closed door of the domestic appliance to be opened and in the locking position is in blocking engagement with a blockable component at least when the door is closed, and an auxiliary member, separate from the blockable component, which is movable in dependence on the closing of the door from a release position into a blocking position. The blocking engagement effects blocking of the closed door against opening. In the release position, the auxiliary member allows the locking member to be transferred from the unlocking position into the locking position; in contrast, in its blocking position, the auxiliary member blocks the locking member against being transferred from the unlocking position into the locking position.

An electronic cylindrical lock has a main body. The main body includes a slide member. The main body further includes a first clutch unit and a second clutch unit to drive the slide member. The first clutch unit and the second clutch unit are connected with a first handle and a second handle, respectively. The main body further includes a control unit for controlling the first clutch unit and the second clutch unit to be engaged or disengaged, so as to selectively allow the first handle and the second handle to drive the lock tongue, or selectively allow the first handle and the second handle not to drive the lock tongue.

A locking mechanism for a motor is provided. The locking mechanism includes a detent mounted on a shaft coupled to the motor, and a solenoid including an electromagnetic coil, a plunger, and a spring that holds the plunger at an extended state. The plunger engages the detent at the extended state when no voltage is applied, and the spring is configured to exert a predetermined force for the plunger to engage the detent to lock the shaft. The plunger retracts away from the detent to allow rotation of the motor shaft when a voltage is applied to the solenoid.
