Adjustable hatch cover locks
A hatch lock cover includes inner and outer flanges, with a keeper and a handle positioned between the flanges. The handle is rotatable with respect to the flanges to move a batten bar contacting surface into and out of engagement with a batten bar or a hatch cover tab of a hatch cover. A downwardly extending portion of an arm of the keeper may define an aperture and/or include a projection for securing an adjustment plate or extension piece to the arm to provide an alternative batten bar contacting surface. Alternatively, a mounting bracket may be provided to secure the hatch cover lock to a railcar, with the mounting bracket accommodating the hatch cover lock in different positions having different elevations. Such configurations allow the hatch cover lock to be adjusted for use with a batten bar or hatch cover tab having a gasket that has become worn out.
High security multi-tiered locking system for utility vaults
A locking system for a utility vault including an I-beam extending across an opening in utility vault, a two-piece lid positioned in the opening over the I-beam, brackets positioned on opposite ends of each piece of the two-piece utility lid for engaging an inside wall surface of the utility vault and the I-beam, and a three-tier locking system positioned at an end of one piece of the two-piece lid to lock the lid to the vault including a L-bolt lock, a padlock and a lockable door on an upper surface of the lid.
SAFE WITH BIOMETRIC LOCK MECHANISM
A safe for the storage of a valuable, such as a firearm. The safe has an imaging system that is used to scan a portion of a human in the near infrared spectrum to image blood vessels and determine if the image matches a stored image and thereafter effect unlocking of the safe. A manual override lock system is provided to manually effect unlocking of the safe.
QUICK ASSEMBLE WALL SYSTEM, AND RELATED METHODS
A wall panel includes a first upright post, a second upright post, an upper stretcher connecting the first upright post to the second upright post, a lower stretcher connecting the first upright post to the second upright post, and a frame having an extrusion profile, wherein the extrusion profile is configured to couple the frame to the wall panel frame. A wall panel assembly includes a plurality of the wall panels.
FLUID-DRIVEN HATCH
A fluid-driven hatch for a bulk material container includes a cover is opened by a fluid-driven cover actuator and secured by a fluid-driven lock actuator. A fluid conduit connects both the fluid-driven cover actuator and the fluid-driven lock actuator to a pressurized fluid source. Pressurized fluid is selectively supplied to the fluid conduit such that the fluid-driven lock actuator is actuated at a first pressure to unlock the cover, and the fluid-driven cover actuator is actuated moments later at a second, higher pressure to open the cover.
SERVER INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM SECURITY BEZEL WITH INTEGRATED FILTER COMPARTMENT
A server information handling system is secured by a bezel that couples to an access location, such as an air vent at a front or rear face of a housing. The bezel includes a security structure having a lock and configured to couple directly at the front face or with a bezel extension at the rear face so that the server information handling system can use the same bezel with both a front face or rear face rack mount. The bezel has a lock integrated with the security structure, an air filter that fits over the security structure to filter air flowing into the housing, and a filter brace that captures the air filter by coupling to the security structure over the air filter. The filter brace attaches and detaches at the security structure when the security structure locks a server information handling system housing so that the air filter can be changed while the housing remains secure.
Locking assembly and enclosure using the same
A locking assembly for a Kensington-locked enclosure can be simply padlocked for security. The locking assembly includes a first connecting member and a second connecting member. The first connecting member is fixed on a base body of the enclosure, the first connecting member comprises a first tongue piece. The second connecting member is fixed on an upper cover of the enclosure, and the second connecting member comprises a second tongue piece. The first tongue piece and the second tongue piece protrude from an outside of the enclosure and fit each other, and a padlock can pass through the first tongue piece and the second tongue piece to lock the base body and the upper cover together and secure the attachment of the Kensington lock.
MODULAR FLOOR PANEL LATCHING SYSTEM
A latch system that attaches to a retractable load bearing pool cover. The latch system interconnects deployable and retractable load-bearing floor panels or pool cover panels that may be separable into individual sections for compact vertical stacking and storage when the panels are retracted.
Self-aligning modular latch
A container is disclosed that has a housing and a lid. The lid has a planar portion and a latch that is freely movable parallel to the planar portion of the lid. The latch has a retention feature and a first reference surface that is perpendicular to the planar portion of the lid. There is a latch mechanism coupled to the housing that has an engagement element configured to engage the retention feature of the latch and a first alignment feature having a first alignment surface. The first alignment feature is configured to laterally displace the latch in a first direction such that the first reference surface aligns with the first alignment surface when the lid is brought together with the housing with the fastener laterally displaced away from the engagement element in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction.
SECURING APPARATUS FOR DATA STORAGE DEVICE
A securing apparatus configured to mount a data storage device in an enclosure includes a shielding assembly configured to be secured to a panel of the enclosure and a sliding pole. The shielding assembly includes a frame and a rotating plate rotatably mounted to the frame. The sliding pole is slidably mounted to the frame and defines a plurality of latching slots. The frame defines an aperture for the data storage device to pass through; the rotating plate comprises a plurality of hooks. The sliding pole is slidable relative to the frame to engage the hooks in the latching slots. The rotating plate is secured to the frame and shields the aperture, preventing the data storage device from being taken out of the enclosure.
