| 20090293565 | CARD TYPE MECHANICAL KEY - A card type mechanical key including a card member having a card surface and an edge portion. The card member includes a mechanical code pattern formed by partially eliminating the card surface or the edge portion and functioning as a verification code mechanically verifiable by a lock device. A fitting member is fitted to the mechanical code pattern. A concealment sticker is adhered removably to the card member in a state in which the fitting member is fitted to the mechanical code pattern of the card member so as to conceal the mechanical code pattern and the fitting member. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20110000267 | LOCK KEY MECHANISM - A locking mechanism wherein it is possible to fix the key inside the lock outphased from the original combination, thereby preventing the cylinder of the lock from turning. The security of the locking mechanism is also enhanced as the key cannot be expelled from the lock. Therefore it is impossible to insert any other key or picklock. | 01-06-2011 |

| 20090031767 | STRUCTURE OF AUTOMOBILE ELECTRONIC KEY FOR SECURITY AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING FUNCTION THEREOF - Provided are a structure of an automobile electronic key for security and a method for performing the function thereof. It is determined whether at least one of a driver seat door closing signal and a brake pedal signal is on. A key fob of an automobile is requested to send the ID thereof, and the ID is received from the key fob when at least one of the driver seat door closing signal and the brake pedal signal is on. The key fob is authenticated using the received ID. An actuator is driven to move a locking member such that a car key is switched to a rotatable state when the key fob passes authentication. The actuator is driven to move the locking member such that the car key is switched to an unrotatable state when the key fob does not pass authentication. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20120125060 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR VENDING SECURELY STORED PRODUCTS TO CONSUMERS - A lock mechanism is disclosed, the lock mechanism having a rotary latch configured for rotation between a locked position and an unlocked position, the rotary latch rotating in a first plane and the rotary latch is retained in the locked position after it has been rotated into the locked position from the unlocked position, the rotary latch being spring biased into the unlocked position by a biasing member; and a first lock mechanism for retaining the rotary latch in the locked position after rotation of the rotary latch into the locked position, the rotary latch being capable of being manipulated back into the unlocked position from the locked position after actuation of the first locking mechanism into a release position, wherein actuation of the first lock mechanism is in a second plane that is not parallel to the first plane and wherein the first lock mechanism must be reset in order to subsequently release the rotary latch from the locked position. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20140116101 | LABELING SYSTEM - Embodiments disclosed herein can include one or more labels, each label having an indicia receiving surface adapted to receive indicium or indicia. The indicia receiving surface can provide a permanent, durable writing surface. A key for operating a mechanical lock can include one or more labels. The key can include a key main body and at least one label coupled to the key main body. The key main body comprises a head and an elongate body coupled to the head. The elongate body is configured to physically engage and operate a lock, such as a mechanical lock. The label can define an indicia receiving surface adapted to receive indicium or indicia. | 05-01-2014 |
