Abstract

A dual locking device comprises a housing, a switch member and two locking mechanisms. The switch member is arranged to be capable of moving between a first position and a second position with respect to the housing. The first locking mechanism is mounted on the switch member, and the second locking mechanism is mounted on the housing, wherein the switch member can be released for movement from the first position to the second position by either the first locking mechanism or the second locking mechanism.

Claims

1. A dual locking device comprising:

a housing;

a switch member, arranged to be capable of moving between a first position and a second position with respect to the housing;

a first locking mechanism, mounted on the switch member; and

a second locking mechanism, mounted on the housing;

wherein the switch member can be released for movement from the first position to the second position by either the first locking mechanism or the second locking mechanism.

2. The dual locking device of claim 1, wherein the first locking mechanism is arranged to be unlocked by a set of unlocking codes, and the second locking mechanism is arranged to be unlocked by a key.

3. The dual locking device of claim 1, wherein the first locking mechanism is arranged to be unlocked by a key, and the second locking mechanism is arranged to be unlocked by a set of unlocking codes.

4. The dual locking device of claim 2, wherein the second locking mechanism includes a retaining part for releasing the switch member after operating the key.

5. The dual locking device of claim 3, wherein the second locking mechanism includes a retaining part for releasing the switch member after setting the unlocking codes.

6. The dual locking device of claim 1, wherein the housing includes:

a first casing; and

a second casing, coupled to the first casing.

7. The dual locking device of claim 4, wherein the housing includes:
