Abstract (en)

The lock mechanism includes a housed (2) linear electromechanical actuator (4) which raises the hook bolt (9) protruding from the face plate (3) through the double-arm lever system (6) and leaves it in an open position. The "L"-shaped double-arm lever (6) is rotated around a shorter horizontal arm (8) by 180°. The lever has a rotating bearing on a pin (7) in the corner area of both arms (8, 10), the shorter horizontal arm (8) of which is topped with a hook bolt (9) and the longer vertical arm (10) is topped with a pusher (11) facing the opening in the face plate (3). The double-armed lever (6) is loaded with a torsion spring mounted at one end to the pin (7) and at the other to the longer arm (10) on the side of the pusher (11). The electromechanical actuator (4) faces the piston rod (5) and presses on the longer arm (10) on the opposite side to the pusher (11). Dimensions of the length of arms (8, 10) of the double-armed lever (6), the depth of the bolt (9) and the length of the pusher (11) are carefully chosen. When the piston rod (5) of the electromechanical actuator (4) is being pushed out, the face of the pusher (11) makes contact with the door (1) only after the bolt (9) is at a height that is not less than its depth.
