Electromechanical Non-Numeric Control For Locks
US Patent:
8359890, Jan 29, 2013
Filed:
Feb 18, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/372930
Inventors:
Michael Brent Kitchen - Virginia Beach VA, US
International Classification:
E05B 49/00, E05B 37/02
US Classification:
702785, 70301, 70310, 70315
Abstract:
A light fence represented by aligned apertures in a plurality of wheels permits the passage of a light beam to a sensor to activate an electro-mechanical control for a lock. Such an arrangement avoids the sound-producing mechanical action of the typical tumbler lock and safeguards discovery of the opening combination. Rather than the typical case of a numerical sequencing combination, a novel approach is taken by using visual pattern recognition to align the apertures. The electro-mechanical control of the present invention additionally features optimized energy use, customizable settings, precision positioning, and an expansion of possible combination permutations by including direction of rotation.

International Classification:
A01K 5/01
US Classification:

Locking Pegboard
US Patent:
8522986, Sep 3, 2013
Filed:
Apr 28, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/769384
Inventors:
Michael Kitchen - Virginia Beach VA, US
International Classification:
A47B 96/06, A47G 29/00, E04G 5/06
US Classification:
211 591, 24822031
Abstract:
The present invention provides a pegboard-type organization system for articles to be displayed or secured in-place. The pegs can be locked onto the board to support either a weight placed thereon or a side-ways pressure applied thereto. The support can be either rigid or elastic, depending on whether gripping or load-bearing functionality is required. The inventive system allows a board to be flush-mounted to a support surface, and thereby avoids the wasted space conventionally taken up with such substructures as fir strips.
Finger Lock
US Patent:
2012014, Jun 14, 2012
Filed:
Dec 13, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/966334
Inventors:

Peter Michael Johnston - Chesapeake VA, US
International Classification:
G05B 19/00, E05B 49/02, E05B 65/00
US Classification:
340 551, 70 77
Abstract:
The present invention presents a novel security access device, wherein finger movements define a validation code to unlock entryway access in a system comprising an electronic controller directing a servomechanism. Security is enhanced by the finger movements, which are rendered virtually undetectable to an observer, and by the mathematical augmentation of the number of choices for code selection. Alternative embodiments present both a novel system and a novel method for validating access.
