There is provided an unlocking device, including: a rotating member; a housing; an operating member; and a biasing member. The rotating member includes a pressed portion, and a retaining portion. The housing includes an accommodating portion, an engaging portion that is engaged with the retaining portion, and an opening. The operating member includes a pressing portion, and is slidable in a direction substantially parallel to a rotation plane of the rotating member. The retaining portion and the engaging portion are located within a thickness range of the operating member when viewed in a sliding direction of the operating member.

A door lock system comprising a first rotary configured to control extension and retraction of the deadbolt via a primary cam mechanism; a second rotary control configured to control extension and retraction of the latch; and a link configured to retract the deadbolt in response to operation of the second rotary control when the latch is retracted by the second rotary control. The link is configured to move along a linear path normal to the movement of the deadbolt and the door latch and to contact the primary cam mechanism upon the link movement to affect deadbolt retraction and extension. A lever may be used to retract the latch in response to rotation of the first rotary control in a first rotational direction when the deadbolt is retracted by the first rotary control.

A lock for a pet transporter is provided. The lock includes a gear drive set, at least one pair of lock rods, and a chassis. Each lock rod includes an inner end including a rack portion having a structure for engaging with a transmission gear of the gear drive set, each transmission gear having a structure for engaging with a main gear of the gear drive set such that rotation of the main gear drives rotation of each engaged transmission gear. In use, rotation of the main gear in a first direction synchronously drives the first pair of lock rods into the corresponding lock holes to engage the lock, and rotation of the main gear in an opposite direction synchronously drives the first pair of lock rods out of the corresponding lock holes to disengage the lock.

A latching system for securing a door to a panel includes a pawl having a first end that is configured to releasably engage a striker on the panel, and a second end opposite the first end having a connector. A pawl connector is connected to the connector on the second end of the pawl. The pawl connector includes a hollow cylindrical body having a longitudinal axis, a revolved outer side wall extending about the longitudinal axis, an open end through which the connector of the pawl is positioned, an opening defined on the revolved side wall of the cylindrical body, and a deformable portion formed on the revolved outer side wall. The deformable portion extends between the open end and the opening. The deformable portion is configured to elastically deform upon inserting the connector through the open end until the connector is non-removably seated within the opening.

Disclosed is a glove box for an automobile. The glove box for an automobile includes a glove box door which is open/closed; a first lock rod including an end protruding to a side of the glove box door in the glove box door to lock the side of the glove box door; and a second lock rod including an end protruding to an opposite side of the glove box door in the glove box door to lock the opposite side of the glove box door.

An improved door lock mechanism is a door locking device having heavy plates that sandwich the door frame above or below the door knob of a door with bolts passing through the plates to secure it to the door frame, and a barrel lock accessible through the outside plate with a barrel key. The locking mechanism is attached to a locking bar on the inside that is attached to a lock shaft rotatable on the door frame side which rotates downward into a slot formed in a plate that is attached to the inside of the door adjacent the frame plates. Together the frame plates, the door plate, and the rotating bar function as a door bar.
