LOCK WITH A CLUTCH DRIVING MECHANISM
20230212884 · 2023-07-06 ·

The present disclosure provides a lock with a clutch driving mechanism, comprising a driving input portion, a dutch component, a dead bolt driving component, a latch bolt driving component, a first end of the driving input portion is driven, and the second end is connected to the clutch component; a first end of the dutch component is driven, a second end drive one of the dead bolt driving component and the latch bolt driving component, a first end of the latch bolt driving component is driven in the second direction, a second end opens the door. The mechanism can simply realize the keyless mechanical double locking of the dead bolt while the latch bolt still remains in the normally open mode without using the key every time when locking the dead bolt, that key or motor drive is used only when the dead bolt double locking is to be released.

Locking device with a pulse-controlled rotary lock

The invention provides a locking device for preventing movement between two elements (11, 12) that are mounted to move relative to each other, the locking device including a lock (31) mounted to rotate relative to one of the elements in order to present successive angular positions for locking and for release in which the lock alternates between preventing and allowing relative movement between the two elements, the lock being constrained to rotate with a selector (55) of an angular indexing mechanism (50) actuated by a pulse-controlled actuator (70, 71) arranged to push the selector against a spring member (58) in order to cause it to turn on each pulse and thereby cause the lock to pass from one angular position to the other.

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

A transmission system, such as for a two wheeled bicycle, having an input and an output, wherein the input is arranged to be connected to a crank and/or an electric motor and/or a user input, and wherein the output is arranged to be connected to a driven wheel.
