Abstract
A multiple bearing locking mechanism module comprising driver bearings, track bearings, slidable boltlock blocks comprised of springs (or magnetic equivalent) and a crossbolt therein. One or more modules are controlled by a master boltlock bolt/vault either by axial or vertical movement depending on embodiment, thus compressing one or more driver bearings into the track bearings. The track bearings expand into the slidable boltlock blocks housing the crossbolt—slidably disposed in the bearing track—compressing the crossbolt into the bossbolt locking port, manifesting the locked state. The multiple bearing locking mechanism module can be encompassed in but not limited to, gate locks, safes, briefcases, toolboxes, toy boxes, multiple shackle padlocks, door locks, cable locks, et cetera.
Claims17
A multiple bearing locking mechanism module comprising:
- a lock body;
- one or more driver bearings and at least two track bearings;
- a locking mechanism which compresses and decompresses the one or more driver bearings;
- at least two slidable boltlock blocks each with a crossbolt disposed therein;
- wherein the at least two crossbolts are capable of being actuated;
- wherein the at least two slidable boltlock blocks are capable of retracting when the one or more driver bearing are decompressed;
- wherein the at least two track bearings are in a bearing track, the at least two track bearings are pushed by the one or more driver bearings when compressed, moving the at least two track bearings transversely down the bearing tracks;
- wherein the at least two slidable boltlock blocks are each in direct contact with one of the at least two track bearings in the bearing track.
A method comprising:
- providing a multiple bearing locking mechanism module comprising:
- a lock body;
- one or more driver bearings and at least two track bearings;
- at least two slidable boltlock blocks each with a crossbolt disposed therein;
- compressing and decompressing the one or more driver bearings via a locking mechanism;
- actuating the at least two crossbolts;
- retracting the at least two slidable boltlock blocks when the one or more driver bearings are decompressed;
- pushing the at least two track bearings that are in a bearing track by the one or more driver bearings when compressed, moving the at least two track bearings transversely down the bearing tracks;
- positioning the at least two slidable boltlock blocks in direct contact with the at least two track bearings.
