One embodiment of a gun configured with the soft recoil system comprises a plurality of recoiling parts that initially moves in the direction of the projectile being fired before moving in a direction opposite to that of a projectile during the firing of the round. The soft recoil system throttles the movement of the recoiling parts such that the energy expended during the firing of the round is spread over a longer time period and a longer distance than would normally occur. The soft recoil system stores at least a portion of the energy transferred to the recoiling parts and the user may selectively release at least a part of that portion of energy to offset the energy imparted to the gun during the firing of the next round.

An electronic device lock of the present utility model includes a case, a lock module, a lock core, and a driving device. The case has a case opening. An engaging portion is disposed at an inner side of the case. The lock module is detachably disposed in the case, and includes a lock hook group and a locking piece. At least a part of the lock hook group is able to extend out of the case from the case opening. At least a part of the locking piece extends into the lock hook group. The lock core is disposed in the case. The driving device is rotatably disposed in the case, and has a first driving portion and a second driving portion. The first driving portion and the second driving portion are respectively gears meshed with each other. When the lock core is in an unlocked state, the lock core is able to drive the second driving portion to rotate, and the first driving portion linked to the second driving portion is enabled to rotate, so that the locking piece rotates to drive a part of the lock hook group extending out of the case to open, and a part of the lock hook group in the case extends into the engaging portion.

A lock assembly including a lock mechanism, a guide, a strike plate and an alignment track. The lock mechanism includes a lock bolt transitionable between an unlocked orientation and a locked orientation. The guide is carried by the lock bolt and travels along a path that is both parallel and perpendicular to the strike plate as the lock bolt transitions between the unlocked orientation and locked orientation. The strike plate includes a strike plate opening through which the lock bolt passes when transitioning from the unlocked orientation to the locked orientation. The alignment track engages the guide for laterally aligning the lock bolt within the strike plate opening in a direction generally orthogonal to a plane in which the lock bolt travels when transitioning from the unlocked orientation to the locked orientation. Methods of operation and door assemblies including the lock assembly are provided.

A window/door securing device for securing a leaf, in particular an outwardly opening leaf, of a window or door in a closed position in which the leaf contacts a frame of the window or door comprises a base body and a counter-piece that is selectively latchable to the base body so that on a fastening of the base body to the frame and of the counter-piece to the leaf, the leaf can be secured in the closed position by latching the counter-piece to the base body. The base body has two installation surfaces so that one of the installation surfaces of the base body can be selectively placed on and fastened to the frame. In this respect, two installation surfaces are aligned perpendicular to one another.

A locking piece includes a housing which has a, in particular, rectangular housing opening and a slide which is arranged in the housing. At the housing side, the slide is guided so as to be able to be linearly displaced between two end positions and which has a locking arm which extends at right-angles with respect to the displacement direction of the slide and protrudes forward through the housing opening. A spring clip is arranged behind the slide, which spring clip extends in the displacement direction and which is anchored at the two clip ends thereof in the housing. The slide is arranged between the housing and the spring clip and is retained in abutment with the housing by the spring clip.

Disclosed herein is a non-spring based lock mechanism, described as a lock and lever, telescoping slide assembly comprising an elongated, stationary, multi-faceted tube. Also disclosed is a snaring tool employing the non spring based lock mechanism for gripping items such as industrial pipe and other large moving items which can be ensnared. An optional locking pin mechanism can be added to the lock and lever slide assembly to avoid accidental release of the gripping means.
