Abstract:
A lock is provided that includes a plate having an opening therein for selectively receiving a lock for holding doors securely closed. In order to unlock the device, in one form of the invention an inner plunger must be moved. In a second form the plunger must be moved in a predetermined manner to permit unlocking thereof. In another form of the device a key is used to move the parts to unlocked position.
Abstract:
A locking lever control arrangement on a vehicle door having a latch mechanism with a locking lever which automatically returns from an unlocked to a locked position upon closing movement of the door includes a three position internal control member on the door inner panel, a two position external control member on the door outer panel, a bellcrank, a blocking member and draft links connecting the internal control member to the bellcrank, the bellcrank to the locking lever and the bellcrank to the blocking member. The external control member is operable to move the locking lever from locked to unlocked position and the internal control member is operable upon movement to one position to rotate the blocking member to a blocking position preventing movement of the external control lever and upon movement to another position to move the locking lever from locked to unlocked position, and the locking lever is operable upon automatic movement from the unlocked to the locked position to move the internal control member to the third of the three positions thereof.
Abstract:
A latch has a displaceable latching element in a housing for engagement with a separate striker arm to be latched behind an engagement shoulder of the latching element. The housing mounts a cylinder lock to receive a key from the front. A rotor is mounted on the rear of cylinder lock and rotation of the key rotation the rotor to drive a locking element to engage and lock the latching element. The rotor may also be axial displaceable against spring biasing responsive to a rear unit pushing element whereby unlocking from a rear cylinder lock may rotate the rotor to unlock and pushing causes the latching element to be displaced against its biasing to release the striker arm. Embodiments include a gravity biased and manually opened latch and a spring biased self-locking embodiment.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus for opening and closing an entrance. The apparatus includes: first and second door handles which are configured to be pushed or pulled; a moving unit which is coupled to the first and second door handles; a rotating unit which is rotatably coupled on a rotating shaft and locked to the moving unit so that when the moving unit horizontally moves, the rotating unit rotates around the rotating shaft; an actuating member which is locked to the rotating unit and moved in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the moving unit moves; a latch unit which is fixed to the actuating member so that the latch unit is ejected from or retracted into the door by the movement of the actuating member; and a restoring spring which is wrapped around the rotating shaft and fixed to the door lock housing and the rotating unit.
Abstract:
In an opening/closing operation device for a vehicle open/close door, a handle and a lever for transmitting an unlock operation force to a latch mechanism are turnably supported by an open/close door, and one end portion of the lever is brought into contact with a contact surface formed in the handle. In the contact surface, at least a portion to be in contact with the one end portion of the lever at an initial stage of the manipulation of the handle is formed in an inclined manner or curvedly: in a way that makes the portion situated more forward in a movement direction, in which the contact surface moves in response to the turn of the handle, as the portion comes closer to a rotary fulcrum of the lever in a direction along a plane orthogonal to the movement direction such that the portion intersects the plane.
