Abstract
The present invention relates to a dual lock apparatus () of the type including a locking bolt () moveable between a first locked position and a second unlocked position said bolt movement corresponding with longitudinal movement of a slider () said apparatus including a first and a second locking means adapted to operate independently of one another. The first locking means () includes a rotatable cam () such that when rotated said cam acts against a moveable piston to thereby move said piston from a first position to a second position in which the second locking means becomes disengaged from said slider and further rotation of the cam urges longitudinal movement of the slider. The second locking means includes an electric motor in geared connection to a member () moveable between a first position and second position corresponding with the locked and unlocked positions of the bolt said member including an outwardly biased pin () adapted to engage the piston cylinder () and urge said piston into said piston first position to thereby mechanically connect the second locking means with the slider. The locking means can therefore operate independently of one another.
