Abstract
An intelligent lock, overlock, and lock system can be electrically controlled to open and close one or more locks. The lock, lock system, and method may function on a frequency selected to avoid cross talk, which permits numerous locks to function simultaneously on the same central system with little interruption or delay. A lock may be used as an overlock for an existing lock or be a primary lock and may include a pivoting engagement structure that engages a locking mechanism to provide added strength.
Claims19
A locking system comprising:
- (a) an overlock that includes an overlock locking mechanism configured to be connected to a primary locking mechanism by an engagement structure, wherein the overlock locking mechanism and engagement structure are moveable between (i) a first, open position in which the primary locking mechanism can move to a first, open position, and (ii) a second, locked position in which the engagement structure prevents the primary locking mechanism from moving from a second, locked position to its first, open position;
- (b) an electric motor that moves the overlock locking mechanism and the engagement structure between the first, open position and the second, locked position;
- and
- (c) wherein the engagement structure has an end that includes an engagement angled tab and the primary locking structure has an arm with an end that comprises a primary angled tab, and the engagement angled tab and the primary angled tab are in contact when the overlock locking mechanism and engagement structure are in the second position.
