Power window operators, windows including the power window operators, and methods of using the same are described herein. The power window operators may offer the ability to control the timing and/or speed of the lock/unlock motion relative to the open/close motions of the operator arm of the power window operator and, if provided, a sash being driven by the power window operator.

A lockable bolt device for an interior of a door. The lockable bolt device includes a door attachment plate having a horizontal aperture therethrough, configured to securely attach to the door, and a jamb attachment plate having two horizontal apertures therethrough, configured to securely attach to a door jamb. The jamb attachment plate also includes a vertical aperture therethrough, such that the vertical aperture is configured to removably accept an angled bolt therethrough for storage of the angled bolt when the lockable bolt device is in an unlocked configuration. When the door is in a closed position and the horizontal apertures are aligned, the two plates are configured to accept the angled bolt through the horizontal apertures to secure the door in the closed position. The lockable bolt device is useful to prevent an individual from passing through the door from an exterior of the door.

A securing mechanism for a vehicle door. The securing mechanism includes: a locking system which includes a locking element configured, in a locking position of the locking element, to lock the vehicle door in a closed position and, in an unlocking position of the locking element, to unlock the vehicle door; a securing element configured, in a securing position, to block a locking element movement from the locking position into the unlocking position in a first direction and, in a release position, to release the movement of the locking element from the locking position into the unlocking position in the first direction; and an actuator configured to move the securing element from the release position into the securing position and/or from the securing position into the release position. The securing element is configured, in the securing position, to release a movement of the locking element in a second direction.

An electric locking device for selectively locking and unlocking a door to a door frame is provided. The device comprises a housing and a keeper movably connected to the housing. The keeper includes a keeper shaft having an axis of rotation. The keeper is rotatable about the axis of rotation between first and second rotational positions, and movable between first and second directional positions relative to the lock housing. The movement between first and second directional positions is generally linear, and the axis of rotation is configured to move relative to the lock housing as the keeper moves between first and second directional positions. When the keeper is in the first rotational and directional positions, the door is secured to the door frame by the keeper. When the keeper is in the second rotational and directional positions, the door is allowed to move away from the door frame.

A locking handle mechanism for windows is provided, the mechanism comprising a main body, a handle, a slider and snap fits. The slider comprises a slot housing part of the handle and side slits housing part of a locking mechanism of the window. The fork is displaced to lock and unlock the window by the rotation of the handle from a first position to a second position. Having two side slits allows for the installation of the mechanism on either side of a window frame. The main body may be installed to a window frame by piercing an appropriate hole and by securing with snap fits to the inside surface of the frame. Methods for installing and uninstalling a locking handle mechanism in a casement are further provided.

A door lock assembly for a door hinged to a door frame, having primarily a two-part lock assembly, including a linear pin or bolt having a first pin end and a second pin end, the second pin end formed with a handle attached and a magnet positioned therearound the second pin end and proximate a junction between the handle and the second pin end and a mounting plate having a first plate end and a second plate end, the plate ends having a one or more mounting holes, the mounting plate having a base or humped body positioned between first plate end and a second plate end, the humped body having a locking aperture positioned crosswise there through the humped body to receive first pin end.

A covering (200) for an opening in a building and a sensor assembly (500) is disclosed. The covering (200) comprises a panel (201) moveable between an open position and a closed position, and to an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position. The sensor assembly (500) is configured to sense the position of a locking member (205) of the covering and to transmit signals indicating the position of locking member (205). Methods of installing a sensor assembly (500) on a covering (200) of an opening of a building are also disclosed.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for providing a locking apparatus for resisting movement of an openable element are described. The locking apparatus includes a body, an actuator, a lifting member, at least a portion of the lifting member being configured to be raised or lowered relative to the body according to an output of the actuator, the lifting member comprising a contact surface configured to restrict movement of the openable element, and a strap coupled to the body and to the lifting member, the strap configured to permit the lifting member to flex based at least in part upon contact between the lifting member and the openable element and to transfer energy received at the lifting member into the body of the locking apparatus into a surface to which the locking apparatus is mounted.

The invention relates to a plastic enclosure for enclosing industrial components. The enclosure comprises a case (2), a lid (9), and a latch device (13) for locking the lid to the case. The lid (9) has a grip means formed as a rigid lug (14) molded to be monolithic with the lid (9), the lug comprising a throughhole (19) to which a hook portion (17) of a rocker (15) can grip. The lug (14) is arranged, in the closed position of the lid, to extend over and at a distance from the second wall (7) to be substantially in parallel with a wall of the case to limit an intermediate space between the wall (7) and the lug (14) when the lid is in the closed position. The hook portion (17) is arranged so that, in the release position (II) of the rocker (15), it is turned inside the intermediate space away from the path of the lug (14) and, in the locking position (I) of the rocker, the hook portion is turned to protrude laterally outwards through the through-hole (19) of the lug (14) and to compress the sealing gasket (12) by pressing the sealing flange (8) against the sealing gasket (12) to create a spring force against which the hook portion holds the lug (14). The output force of the hook portion (17) exerted to the lug (14) is amplified by a mechanical advantage provided by a lever effect of the rocker (15) when being turned to the locking position by an input force exerted to the handle arm (18).

An electronic locking device to secure linear transitioning or sliding doors. The electronic lock may include a bolt driven by a motor between a locked or extended position and an unlocked or retracted position. The bolt may be coupled to a sled, the sled moved by the motor between a forward position, placing the bolt in the locked position, and a rearward position, placing the bolt in the unlocked position. The motor may drive a drive screw to move the sled.
