Abstract:
A control docking station system for controlling locking engagement between a first female member and a male member that together form a locking mechanism. The first female member is connected to a safety device. The male member can be locked to and released from the first female member. The system includes a controller configured to sense an unsafe interlock signal. A second female member is operably connected to the controller's housing. Each female member includes a receiver base and a pair of pivoting locking tabs, that is engageable with a key-like projection on the male member. The male member may be unlocked from the first female member when the controller senses an interruption to the unsafe interlock signal or if the unsafe interlock signal is overridden. The male member may be docked in the second female member during safe circumstances and/or the safety device is unused.

Claim (Index 24):
A locking system, comprising:\n a receiver base having a cavity; a first locking tab disposed inside the cavity configured to pivot about a first pin operatively coupled to the receiver base; a second locking tab disposed inside the cavity configured to pivot about a second pin operatively coupled to the receiver base; an insert device having a leading edge configured to be received within the cavity and to be engaged by the first locking tab and the second locking tab to keep the insert retained within the cavity; a first electronic switch disposed in the cavity and configured to actuate when the first locking tab pivots when contacted by the insert device; a second electronic switch disposed in the cavity and configured to actuate when the second locking tab pivots when contacted by the insert device; and a third electronic switch disposed in the cavity and configured to actuate when adjacent to the leading edge.
