An electrically actuated locking mechanism may include a microprocessor for control of the locking mechanism, and the locking mechanism may be used to lock a drawer slide in a closed position. The microprocessor may be in a housing of the locking mechanism, and the microprocessor may command a motor to operate in a first direction to drive lock components to a locked status and command the motor to operate in a second direction to drive the lock components to an unlocked state.

Drawer slide and electronically actuated locking mechanism

A drawer slide with lock mechanism has an elongated outer slide member extendably coupled to an inner slide member. A latch arm or pin is fixed to the inner slide member for latching by a lock mechanism fixed to the outer slide member. The lock mechanism uses a latch receiver that rotates with respect to the lock mechanism and is in a travel path of the latch arm. A lever arm rotates with respect to the lock mechanism and is positionable to block rotation of the latch receiver in a locked position to retain the latch arm. A motor drives a cam to position the lever arm to free the latch receiver from the locked position.

Drawer slide and locking mechanism

A locking system for a cabinet may include a plurality of hubs to pass signals from activation devices and for power distribution to locks controlling access to drawers and/or openings of the cabinet. The hubs may also pass signals between pairs of locks, for example for drawer slides used for drawers of the cabinets. In some embodiments the hubs passively pass the signals, and in some embodiments each of the hubs are identical.

Electronically controlled drawer slide locking for cabinets and hub for same

A drawer slide member including raceways formed of folded or solid material providing additional thickness while utilizing thin material may provide for increased strength of the drawer slide.

Slim drawer slide

A drawer slide includes an outer slide, an inner slide moveable relative to the outer slide between a closed position and an extended position, a first engagement member, a second engagement member moveable by engagement with the first engagement member between a latched position to latch the inner slide in the closed position and an unlatched position disengaged from the second engagement member, and a first spring coupled to any one of the outer slide and the inner slide and configured to bias the inner slide to the extended position when the inner slide is proximate to the closed position.
