High Security Lock

View page
US Patent:
8635893, Jan 28, 2014
Filed:
Mar 14, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/828141
Inventors:
Michael P. Harvey - Laguna Niguel CA, US
Brian T. Craycraft - Lexington KY, US
Philip D. Mason - LaGrange KY, US
Kenneth H. Mimlitch - Lexington KY, US
Craig Volk - Lexington KY, US
Assignee:
Lock II, L.L.C. - Nicholasville KY
International Classification:
E05B 1/00
US Classification:
70332, 70303 A, 70333 A, 70416, 70283
Abstract:
A high security lock includes a lock bolt movable between extended and retracted positions, a bolt retraction gear coupled to the lock bolt, and a manually-driven gear. When a controller verifies that user-input information is correct for unlocking the lock, the bolt retraction gear and manually-driven gear are operatively coupled such that the gear can drive the lock bolt from the extended position to the retracted position.

Relocking Mechanism

View page
US Patent:
20130042657, Feb 21, 2013
Filed:
Oct 21, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/639970
Inventors:
Greg Dehaven - Lexington KY, US
Kenneth H. Mimlitch - Lexington KY, US
Edward Pollard - Danville KY, US
Assignee:
KABA MAS, LLC - Lexington KY
International Classification:
E05B 63/00
E05B 57/00
US Classification:
70 15
Abstract:
A relocking mechanism that blocks the path of a bolt within a lock assembly is presented. The relocking mechanism comprises a breakaway member that is repositioned when the lock assembly is attacked by some mechanical means, such as impact applied via a hammer and punch to the lock housing through a spindle hole in a door. The breakaway member prior to attack holds a preloaded relocking plunger clear from bolt movement. When the breakaway member is repositioned upon attack, the plunger is free to move under a biasing force into position so as to block the bolt thus keeping the lock in a secure locked state regardless of the state of the locks default blocking mechanism.

Electronic Reset For Solenoid Activated Control In An Electronic Lock

View page
US Patent:
60065613, Dec 28, 1999
Filed:
May 7, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/852775
Inventors:
James D. Hill - Lexington KY
William Fain Irving - Lexington KY
James Thomas Loiselle - Nicholasville KY
Joseph W. Luciano - Lexington KY
Kenneth H. Mimlitch - Lexington KY
John E. Passafiume - Lexington KY
Assignee:
Mas-Hamilton Group, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
E05B 4700
US Classification:
70276
Abstract:
The technique for electronically resetting a magnetically sealed solenoid to an unattracted, unactuated position is described for use with solenoids which have either a residual magnetic or a permanent magnet holding force necessary to retain the armature of the solenoid in its actuated position until such time as the armature is either physically displaced by a mechanical force or an electronic signal is applied to the solenoid. This displacement creates a reverse polarity magnetic field, effectively overcoming the magnetic field acting to hold the armature in its actuated position, permitting a small mechanical force to reset the armature. In order to prevent a lock or similar device from being conditioned for opening and possibly left in that condition for a significant period of time while unattended, jeopardizing the security of the container and its contents, the actuation of the armature in the reset or release phase may occur a relatively short time following its actuation.

Trackball Assembly Including A Loosely Mounted Ball Support

View page
US Patent:
51719789, Dec 15, 1992
Filed:
Nov 22, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/796296
Inventors:
Kenneth H. Mimlitch - Lexington KY
Edward E. Pollard - Lexington KY
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc. - Greenwich CT
International Classification:
G01V 904
G05G 9053
G09G 500
US Classification:
250221
Abstract:
A trackball assembly has a ball supported on a bottom ball support, which is rotatably and translationally mounted on a lower support having an upper support conntected thereto. The ball protrudes through an opening, which has a beveled inner surface, in a retaining cap releasably secured to an upper wall of the upper support to enable manipulation of the ball by a user to position a pointer on a computer screen. The amount and direction of movement of the ball during its rotation in each of X and Y coordinate directions are sensed by two silicone rubber rollers, which are substantially perpendicular to each other, engaging the ball. Each roller is mounted on a metal shaft, which extends through an enlarged hole in a shaft support mounted on the lower support to enable limited pivoting of the shaft and the roller thereon. The amount of pivoting of each of the shafts towards the ball by the force of a magnet, which is supported on the bottom of the bottom ball support, is limited by a retaining portion of the bottom ball support. Each of the shafts has an encoder wheel mounted thereon for cooperation with photosources and photodetectors mounted on the lower support.

Solenoid Controlled Bolt Control For An Electronic Lock

View page
US Patent:
58932836, Apr 13, 1999
Filed:
May 7, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/852854
Inventors:
Walter R. Evans - Lexington KY
Kenneth H. Mimlitch - Lexington KY
Larry J. Rice - Nicholasville KY
Assignee:
Mas-Hamilton Group - Lexington KY
International Classification:
E05B 4902
US Classification:
70303A
Abstract:
An electronic combination lock of the self-powered type, wherein the electrical energy for operation of the lock is developed within the lock itself, has a solenoid which magnetically seals in the activated position, thus preserving the "open" condition of the lock until such time as the operator may withdraw the bolt. Significantly, there is no requirement for continued electrical power to hold the solenoid and the latching mechanism in a condition for lock opening.
