Self-aligning safety lock

Номер: US20120119523A1
Автор: Dennis C. Mackey, Michael N. Burdenko, Richard Galera, Steven Tambeau
Принадлежит: Rockwell Automation Technologies Inc

A safety lock mechanism is provided that facilitates accurate and consistent alignment between a locking bolt and a locking receptacle prior to engaging the locking bolt. To this end, a safety lock configured to mount to a door frame is provided with an internally disposed hard stop that protects the electrical and mechanical components within the safety lock housing from door impact shock. An extended portion of the hard stop protrudes through the housing facing the direction of door travel. A corresponding receptacle assembly configured to mount to the door is fabricated to include a bolt receptacle hole as well as an open window that engages with the extended portion of the hard stop when the door is in the closed position. When the window in the receptacle is engaged with the extended portion of the hard stop, door movement is limited in five directions even when the locking bolt is not yet engaged. An optional magnet embedded in the hard stop can limit door movement in the sixth direction by magnetically latching to a striking plate mounted behind the window. Thus, the window and the hard stop pre-position the receptacle for proper alignment between the locking bolt and the locking bolt receptacle, ensuring that the locking bolt will properly engage with the receptacle when advanced.

Use Privacy Indicator Method and Apparatus

Номер: US20140111329A1
Автор: Gary M. Tearston
Принадлежит: Individual

A privacy indicator is disclosed that uses a controller on an inside of a door with an indicator on the outside of the door, thereby optionally indicating a “busy” or “in use” state, or privacy request inside the door. A vertical-orientation-adjustable magnetic or acceleration sensitive switch may be used to cancel the “in use” state. An initial adjustment circuit is used to adjust the vertical position of the switch to allow for vertically misaligned mounting surfaces. The latched “in use” condition serves as a privacy request, reducing embarrassment when used in toilet stalls or bathrooms, or when other potentially embarrassing activities are being performed. Upon opening of the door, a radial acceleration is induced on a pendulum switch, whereupon the latched condition is cancelled, and the indicator no longer indicates the latched privacy request condition.

Sliding Pin Lock Mechanism for Overhead Door with Microswitch

Номер: US20150061300A1
Автор: Dale R. Hudson, Jay Tillman
Принадлежит: Jamas Enterprises LLC

A door lock mechanism for an overhead door employs a sliding pin or rod that passes into the path of the rollers in the track, and obstructs the roller from movement in the direction to open the door. A spring in the door lock frame biases the sliding pin towards a proximal open position. The sliding pin has a swing arm that extends radially from the pin's proximal end, and which engages retaining structure at the proximal end of the door lock frame. In the lock position the distal end of the sliding pin blocks movement of wheels or rollers in the vertical track. The arm is rotated out of engagement with the retaining structure to release the pin so it may slide proximally to an unlocked position. A microswitch in the interior of the lock switches on when the sliding pin is moved to the locked position and turns off when the pin is returned to its unlocked position. A sleeve disposed over the proximal part of the spring engages the actuator of the microswitch.
