Locking mechanisms and toolboxes including locking mechanisms are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a locking mechanism includes a frame including an opening, a lid, a latch coupled to the lid, the latch including a latching post and a flange, and a locking device including a draw mechanism coupled to the tab, where the draw mechanism is translatable with respect to the frame, the draw mechanism including a slot that includes a narrow end and a wide end positioned opposite the narrow end, where the flange has a width that is greater than a width of the narrow end of the slot of the draw mechanism, and where the draw mechanism is repositionable between a latched position in which the narrow end is axially aligned with the latching post of the latch and an unlatched position, in which the wide end is axially aligned with the latching post of the latch.

The disclosed concept pertains generally to electrical switching apparatus, such as circuit breakers, and more particularly, to enclosures for electrical switching apparatus and the components of the enclosures, such as latching doors and latching mechanisms.

Safes and related locking assemblies, mechanisms, and enclosures. In some embodiments, the locking mechanism may comprise one or more fixed locking members, such as studs, mounted on or otherwise coupled to the body of the safe or other enclosure, such as a box, building, vehicle, trailer or the like. In some embodiments, the locking members may be mounted to the door/lid frame of the enclosure. Additional moveable locking members may be positioned on and/or moveably coupled with the safe door, which may allow the moveable locking members to engage the fixed locking members on the door frame to lock the door/lid in place.

A three-dimensional printing system for manufacturing a three-dimensional article includes a housing, a door, and a door locking system. The housing encloses a process chamber and has a vertical front surface with an opening providing access to the process chamber. The door is coupled to the front surface to be moved between an open position and a closed position. The door locking system includes a plurality of pins, a locking plate, and a lock actuator. The plurality of pins extend along a direction that is perpendicular to the vertical front surface when the door is in the closed position. The locking plate defines a plurality of holes positioned to receive the plurality of pins when the door is rotated into the closed position. The lock actuator is coupled to the locking plate and configured to translate the locking plate between an unlocked position and a locked position.

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.

The invention relates to a push rod lock for a switch cabinet housing, having a linearly adjustable push rod which is arranged on an inner side of a switch cabinet door and projects with a coupling piece from the inner side through the switch cabinet door, wherein a door lock plate which is mounted via an outer side of the switch cabinet door opposite the inner side is fixed to an actuating element which is coupled to the coupling piece via a mushroom pin connection on the switch cabinet door, wherein the push rod is adjustable between a second open position and a second closed position via the actuating element which is adjustable between a first open position and a first closed position, wherein the mushroom pin connection is arranged at least in a release position in which the door lock plate is removable from the switch cabinet door at least when the push rod is arranged in the second closed position and the actuating element is arranged in an intermediate position between the first open position and the first closed position, and wherein the mushroom pin connection assumes a locking position when the actuating element is transferred from the intermediate position into the second closed position when the door lock plate is placed on the switch cabinet door in the release position. Additionally, a corresponding arrangement and a corresponding method are described.

A security window applied to a single window is applied to a previously installed single window so as to block an open space of the window and prevent entry by strangers and a person inside from having a falling accident. The security window can be separated from within a room as necessary, and thus movement of an object or emergency escape is facilitated. Meanwhile, the security window cannot be separated from outside the room, and thus intrusion by persons with malicious intent can be prevented from the onset.

Safes and related locking assemblies, mechanisms, and enclosures. In some embodiments, the locking mechanism may comprise one or more fixed locking members, such as studs or protruding brackets, mounted on or otherwise coupled to the body of the safe or other enclosure, such as a box, building, vehicle, trailer or the like. One or more actuation members may be moveably coupled with a door of the enclosure. At least a portion of the at least one actuation member, such as an engagement member, may be configured to selectively engage the locking member and lock the door in a closed configuration. In some embodiments, a recessed frame may be inset, at least in part, from an outer frame of the body to receive the door therein, and one or more of the locking members may be fixedly coupled with the recessed frame.
