Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3812538A1] A lock mechanism for locking together first and second relatively moveable components (50,51) comprises a lock body (10) having a bore (31) for receiving a bolt assembly (11) for securing to the two components so that the lock body and bolt assembly are substantially aligned when the components come together. The bolt assembly includes a locking member (36) which carries opposed balls (44) in a transverse bore (43) and which are driven radially outwardly into a groove (22) formed in the bore of the lock body, by an operating pin (18) mounted within the lock body. The locking member (36) is resiliently mounted to have freedom of movement is several directions, to facilitate entry of the locking member into the lock body. A servo motor (26) is arranged to draw the operating pin (18) out of the locking member thereby to allow the balls to move inwardly out of the groove, so releasing the lock.
