A power-controlled lock mechanism has a bolt (61) rotationally mounted in a housing (60) and having an end portion (76) projecting from the housing (60) with a ramp surface (77), an actuator (62) being arranged to rotate the bolt (61) between diametrically opposed first and second settings. A striker (67) is arranged for transverse movement with respect to the housing (60) so that an abutment surface (74) of the striker (67) may engage behind the bolt when the mechanism is in a locked setting, the striker (67) being mounted for movement generally parallel to the axial direction of the bolt (61) and spring urged towards the bolt. When the bolt is engaged with the abutment surface (74) of the striker (67), the lock may be released by rotating the bolt so that the ramp surface (77) thereof interacts with the striker, to move the striker against its spring force and release the bolt. |
