Abstract
Electric locks of the armed type comprise a movable bolt assembly actuated by various levers, powered by a motorized reduction gear assembly and capable of hooking a keeper mounted on a stationary part of the body. The bolt assembly comprises a locking lever of a keeper and a blocking lever of the locking lever, both biased in the hooked position by a common spring. A rotating control body controls the preceding levers, and rotates successively in the opening direction and in the reverse closing direction while being powered by a motorized reduction assembly in response to the impulses of electric current.
