ELECTROMECHANICAL LOCK FOR CABINETS, SHOWCASES AND DRAWERS

摘要

The invention provides a lock that is particularly suitable for locking cabinets, showcases and drawers. The lock comprises a bolt and a housing having an opening to receive the bolt and having arranged therein a locking member for locking the bolt. The bolt comprises an elongated bolt body, a chamfered head end and a recess part on the elongated bolt body behind the chamfered head end. The locking member is rotatably provided inside the housing and arranged to rotate between a first orientation to lock the bolt in the housing and a second orientation different from the first orientation to release the lock from the housing. The locking member comprises a bended first end that fits behind the recess part of the bolt when the bolt is inserted into the opening of the housing and the locking member is rotated to the first orientation. A coil can be used to, when provided with a current, generate a magnetic force to tilt the locking member to the second orientation.
