Title: Improved pushbutton lock
Inventor: LARSON WAYNE F
IPC: E05B37/16
Filed: 1999-09-30
Granted: 2008-03-25
Abstract: Various enhancements are provided to a pushbutton lock to enhance its security. One is the provision of button tips that are mounted on the ends of the button assemblies and spring-loaded to protrude from the face of the lock, regardless of whether the underlying button is "in" or "out". By this arrangement, a bystander cannot readily see the button combination by the pattern of depressed buttons. This arrangement also reduces tactile feedback between the underlying button assembly and the externally available button tips, increasing resistance to pick attacks. A further enhancement is the provision of button bars between adjacent pairs of button tips. Whenever any of the button tips is manually depressed, the corresponding button bar is pressed into engagement with, and prevents movement of, a member that must be moved in order to unlock the lock. This arrangement further increases lock security by preventing an attacker from experimentally pressing buttons and judging the tactile effect thereon in attempted unlockings of the lock.

Granted: 2008-03-18
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for introducing an additive component (131) in the form of a liquid or granulated solid into a liquid (40) stored in a first container (150).  The additive component (131) is stored separately from the liquid (40) in a dip tube or conduit (132).  The container (150) has an opening closed by a releasable closure (152).  A second container or tank (111) containing pressurised propellant fluid (116) is positioned in the neck or closure of the first container, adjacent to the opening. The dip tube or conduit (132) has a first end communicating with the tank and a second end extending down into the first liquid in the first container. The dip tube (132) contains an additive (131) which is expelled from the dip tube into the first liquid by the entry of the propellant fluid from the tank into the dip tube on release of the releasable closure. A  valve (300) may be provided at the free end of the dip tube (132) to prevent mixing of the liquid and additive during transport and/or storage. The dose of additive may be accurately measured, and the action of the propellant ensures that all the additive is expelled into the liquid. The additive may be provided in liquid or pourable solid form.
