Abstract:
A lock control system for a closure mechanism of a door, comprisinglocking means adapted to move between an unlocked position and a locking position;a locking mechanism engaging the locking means and capable of being mechanically coupled with a closure mechanism of a door, wherein the locking mechanism blocks an actuation of the closure mechanism, if the locking means is disposed in a locking position;an adjustment mechanism engaging the locking means, capable of receiving adjustment signals and wherein the adjustment mechanism allows a motion of the locking means when positioned in a locking position into an unlocked position upon occurrence of an adjustment signal received by the adjustment mechanism and wherein the adjustment mechanism allows a motion of the locking means when positioned in the unlocking position into the unlocked position upon occurrence of an adjustment signal received by the adjustment mechanism;a support mechanism engaging the locking means, wherein the support mechanism maintains the locking means in the unlocked position after a motion of the locking means from the locking position into the unlocked position as long as no further adjustment signal is received by the adjustment mechanism, and wherein the support mechanism maintains the locking means in the locked position after a motion of the locking means from the unlocked position into the locking position as long as no further adjustment signal is received by the adjustment mechanism;wherein the locking means includes a locking bolt with at least one projection and a groove to be engaged by the projection, wherein the locking position corresponds to an engagement of the locking bolt with the groove and wherein the unlocked position corresponds to a disengagement of the locking bolt from the groove.
