ELECTRO-MECHANICAL LATCHING/LOCKING WITH INTEGRATED TOUCH/PUSH ACTIVATION

摘要

An electro-mechanical locking device, particularly for cabinetry, with some embodiments used in connection with a drawer slide is provided. The electro-mechanical locking device comprises: a rotatable latch receiver for receiving a latch striker; a lever arm for maintaining the latch receiver in a locking position; an actuator for driving the lever arm to an unlocking position; a first sensor for detecting an indication of inward movement, relative to the cabinetry, of the latch striker; and a controller configured to command the actuator to drive the lever arm to the unlocking position based on detection by the first sensor of the indication of inward movement of the latch striker.
