A lock assembly for a door includes a lock body having a housing with at least one deadbolt supported in the housing for movement between a retracted position and an extended position and biased toward the extended position by a spring, and a trigger mechanism mounted on the door separate from the lock body for engagement with a door jamb upon closure of the door, said trigger mechanism being adapted to hold the at least one deadbolt in the retracted position when the door is open in opposition to a spring bias, and to permit movement of the at least one deadbolt to the extended position upon engagement of the trigger mechanism with the door jamb.

Provided is a substrate storing container in which a latching mechanism includes an engagement latch 32, an engagement latch lifting/lowering cam 35 that causes the engagement latch 32 to advance to and retreat from an engagement concave portion and causes the engagement latch 32 in the engagement concave portion to move toward/away from the other end portion of a container main body by advancing and retreating in a direction in which the engagement latch 32 advances and retreats, and a rotating cam 31, and the engagement latch lifting/lowering cam 35 includes an engagement latch connection portion 357 that causes the engagement latch 32 to be engaged with the engagement concave portion and thereafter causes the engagement latch 32 to approach the other end portion of the container main body by moving in a direction in which the engagement latch 32 approaches the engagement concave portion.

A locking apparatus for a pet cage is disclosed. The locking apparatus comprises a turntable rotatable about a central axis of rotation; at least one elongate metal lock bar, where elongate metal lock bar is configured to extend along a radial line originating from the axis of rotation of the turntable and a connecting member for operably connecting the elongate metal lock bar and the turntable. The connecting member comprises a forwardly extending portion for receiving a front section of the elongate metal lock bar and fixing a retained end of the elongate metal lock bar to the connecting member and a rearward extending portion which extends parallel with and is outwardly offset from the forwardly extending portion. The connecting member also includes a linear conversion mechanism arranged between the turntable and the rearward extending portion of the connecting member; the linear conversion mechanism configured to convert rotation of the turntable about the axis of rotation to linear movement of the connecting member in the same direction as a longitudinal direction of the elongate metal lock bar.

A locking jar includes a biometric sensor on a lid of the jar electronically connected to a lock assembly, housed within the lid and at least one deadbolt, for movement between an extended position and a retracted position, connected to the lock assembly. The extended position of the deadbolt protrudes from the lid and into a cove underneath a lip of the jar. The deadbolt retracts from the extended position to the retracted position by a user activating the biometric sensor with a fingerprint.

The present invention relates to a vehicle storage compartment arrangement (100), comprising a storage compartment (102) and a cover arrangement (104), said cover arrangement being connected to the storage compartment (102) and slidably movable along a first geometric axis (202) between an opened position and a closed position, wherein said cover arrangement comprises a locking mechanism (106, 406, 506) for connecting the cover arrangement to the storage compartment, said locking mechanism comprising a first (108) and a second (110) locking pin movable along a second geometric axis (204), said first and second geometric axis being substantially perpendicular to each other, wherein the first and second locking pins are controllable between a first state in which the cover arrangement is locked to the storage compartment, and a second state in which the cover arrangement is unlocked from the storage compartment, wherein the cover arrangement further comprises an actuation handle (112) connected to the first and second locking pins by means of at least one pre-tensioned spring (114, 116, 514), wherein said first and second locking pins are arranged in said second state when said actuation handle is moved along said second geometric axis.

A lock device is provided with a housing, a rotary member, a pair of link rods provided with a hook part, a spring for the rotary biasing of the rotary member, and an operative member mounted so as to be able to be inserted into the housing. A cam protrusions formed in the rotary member, and a wall part having a cam slope which abuts the cam protrusion is formed in the operative member. The configuration is such that by inserting the operative member, the rotary member resists the biasing force of the spring and rotates, and the hook part of the link rods slides in a position in which it does not engage with the lock part.

A fenestration assembly includes a frame assembly, a movable sash assembly and a lock assembly. The lock assembly includes a first lock and a second side lock. The first lock operatively locks and unlocks the moveable sash to the frame assembly in a first direction only when the movable sash is in a fully closed position. The first side lock operatively locks and unlocks the movable sash in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction both when the movable sash is in the fully closed position and a partially open position.

A door-locking mechanism is for locking a door of a cabinet with respect to a main body of the cabinet. The door-locking mechanism includes a supporting component being operatively mountable onto the door, a driving component being operatively moveable with respect to the supporting component between at least first and second configurations, and at least one transmission component being operatively moveable with respect to the supporting component between drawn-in and drawn-out configurations. The door-locking mechanism also includes at least one locking rod being operatively connectable to the at least one transmission component and being movable between disengaged and engaged configurations with respect to a corresponding catch-rod of the cabinet, in response to the at least one transmission component being operated between the drawn-in and drawn-out configurations respectively, via an operation of the driving component from the first to the second configuration.

A bin latch system. A bin latch mechanism that has been designed with weight, number of components, simplicity of operation and installation as main design drivers. The bin latch utilizes spring loaded rods that are ‘pulled’ to release the locking subassemblies. The rods lock two sets of interlocking housings in place. Due to the nature of the rod actuator, the design is binary in nature and needs both sets of interlocking housings to be secured before the interface handle can go to ‘full close’ position. Additionally, there is no rigging necessary at install. Once the assembly is in secured in place, it is ready to be operated.

A lock device includes a base attached to a lid, a knob having a grip portion movably supported on a front side of the base and an arm portion projecting rearward with respect to the grip portion, a slider slidably supported in a rear part of the base so as to move slidingly by being pushed by the arm portion in response to a movement of the knob, a first rod and a second rod slidably supported by a part of the base located in front of the slider in a vertically arranged manner so as to be engaged by and disengaged from a pair of corresponding engaging holes, and a power transmission mechanism provided between the slider and the first rod and the second rod so that the first rod and the second rod are slidingly moved in response to a movement of the slider.
