Abstract
An electromechanical lock comprises a housing, a rectilinear locking lever slidable within the housing, a blocking element positioned adjacent the locking lever that is movable between a first position that engages with the locking lever and a second position that disengages with the locking lever, and an actuating device operable to control movement of the blocking element between the first and second positions.
Claims22
An electromechanical lock comprising:
- a housing;
- a locking lever slidably received by the housing;
- a blocking element positioned adjacent the locking lever, the blocking element rotatably movable between a first position that engages the locking lever and a second position that disengages the locking lever;
- and
- an actuating device operable to control movement of the blocking element between the first and second positions.
2 more elements
An electromechanical lock comprising:
- a housing;
- a locking lever slidable within the housing;
- a blocking element positioned adjacent the locking lever, the blocking element movable between a first position that blocks linear movement of the locking lever and a second position that allows linear movement of the locking lever;
- an actuating device operable to control movement of the blocking element between the first and second positions, the actuating device operably coupled to a rotatable shaft that engages the blocking element to drive linear movement between the first and second positions;
- and
- a rotatable cam disposed within the housing that operably engages the locking lever to control movement of the locking lever.

A method of operating an electromechanical lock comprising:
- providing an electromechanical lock comprising:
- a housing;
- a locking lever slidable within the housing;
- a blocking element movable between a first position that engages with the locking lever and a second position that disengages with the locking lever;
- and
- an actuating device operable to control movement of the blocking element;
- entering a combination into a key pad;
- transmitting a signal to a circuit board operably coupled to the electromechanical lock indicating a correct combination;
- causing the actuating device to move the blocking element from the first position to the second position upon entry of a correct combination;
- and
- rotating a lock dial to retract the locking lever into an open position.
