US Patent 10280650 Device and method for controlling access

Devices and methods for controlling access are described herein where such an assembly may generally comprise an index plate defining one or more spaces over a surface of the plate and each of the one or more spaces having a corresponding protrusion extending within, a first actuator configured to translate the plate in a first direction, and a second actuator configured to translate the plate in a second direction different from the first direction. The one or more lever arms may correspondingly extend from a locking mechanism and the one or more spaces, wherein selective engagement of a single lever arm by a corresponding single protrusion actuates the single lever arm from a locked configuration to an unlocked configuration.
