Abstract:
A locking system provides multiple lockable latching mechanisms that are collectively operable and lockable from a central actuation mechanism. Each latching mechanism can be positioned and actuated independent of the positioning of others of the latching mechanisms. In particular, the latching mechanisms need not be aligned with one another. The system uses flexible connectors between the central actuation mechanism and the respective latching mechanisms. The flexible connectors can have different respective lengths.
Abstract:
A Bowden cable arrangement is provided for a motor vehicle door lock arrangement, wherein the Bowden cable arrangement has a cable strand and a cable conduit, and wherein an adjustment device is provided with a first coupling element and a second coupling element within the chain of operating forces of the cable strand and with a coupling mechanism. In some embodiments the coupling elements may be coupled to each other by the coupling mechanism in different coupling positions relative to each other in order to adjust the length of the cable strand.
Abstract:
An exit device assembly for use in association with a door having a top, a bottom and a generally vertical surface. The exit door assembly includes an exit device configured to be mounted on the surface of the door, the exit device including a manually movable member, a latch mechanism configured to be mounted adjacent one of the top and the bottom of the door, the latch mechanism including a latch movable between a locking position and a non-locking position, and a non-rigid device for causing movement of the latch in response to movement of the manually movable member.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an actuating device for joint action upon at least two different elements of a motor vehicle door lock, with at least one sheathed cable having a core and sheath, wherein the sheathed cable is provided in the longitudinal extent thereof with at least two force transmission units which are designed for interaction with a first element at one end and with a second element at the other end upon action on the sheathed cable, and one of the two elements is designed as an actuating lever, wherein the other element is a closing/opening element operating on a locking mechanism.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a locking device (5, 6) comprising a first locking system (7) equipped with a control handle (12), intended to be actuated by an operator, characterized in that it includes a second locking system (8) connected to the first (7) by linking means (9) designed to actuate the second locking system (8) because of the actuation of the first (7), the first locking system (7) being actuated alternately between a locked state and an unlocked state by movement of the handle (12) over the totality of a defined course, the linking means (9) having sequencing means designed to actuate the second locking system (8), between a locked state and an unlocked state thereof respectively, during the displacement of the handle (12) over only part of the travel of the latter.
Abstract:
A drawer releasing device includes a docking frame and an actuation unit. The docking frame include a mounting base and a slider platform inclinedly and slidably engaging therewith to move between a slide-in storage position to dispose the slider platform within a drawer compartment of a cabinet and a slide-out accessing position to slide the slider platform out of the drawer compartment. The actuation unit includes a locking unit to retain the slider platform at the storage position by locking up with the mounting base, and a hand-free actuation unit for actuating the locking unit to unlock the engagement between the slider platform and the mounting base at the accessing position. The hand-free actuator is located out of the drawer compartment, so that the user is able to actuate the locking unit to automatically slide out the slider platform at a distance.
Abstract:
A rear seat lock, in particular for automobile vehicles, which has an electric operating system based on a motor (23) controlled from a distant position. The lock is concealed by appropriate covers that do not show any visible operating systems to the exterior.
Abstract:
A door locking apparatus of the invention is suitable for locking and unlocking a door of a dispenser and a case thereof. The apparatus includes a door lock mechanism situated between the door and the case for latching the door at a locked position, a solenoid mounted inside the door for releasing the door lock mechanism, a receiver mounted inside the door and connected to the solenoid, and a transmitter for sending an ID signal from an outside of the door to the receiver. When the receiver receives the ID signal from the transmitter, the solenoid actuates to release the door lock mechanism. Since the door lock mechanism is not seen from the outside of the door, the lock is protected from bad mischief and burglary.
Abstract:
A push-pull cable arrangement for selectively transmitting longitudinal motion to two separate destinations has an inner wire having a front end, a rear end and an intermediate node between the front and the rear ends. The inner wire is enclosed with a first outer casing between the front end and the intermediate node, and with a second outer casing between the intermediate node and the rear end. Front and rear ends of the first outer casing are held stationary. A front end of the second outer casing facing the intermediate node of the inner wire is movable, and a rear end of the second outer casing facing the rear end of the inner wire is held stationary. When the front end of the inner wire is pulled, a longitudinal motion of the inner wire is transmitted to the rear end of the inner wire, by which a first receiving unit is moved. When the front end of the inner wire is pushed, the intermediate node of the inner wire pushes the front end of the second outer casing, by which a second receiving unit is moved.
