20090146438 | Gate Latch Mechanism - A gate latch mechanism is provided on a round baler to pull a gate into a closed position and to lock it during baling operation. Bearings of an actuator on the gate and on the latch are located such that during the closing movement of the gate by means of the actuator, said actuator experiences a movement away from the bearing of the gate thereby allowing a locking pin to move over the latch and to overcome an early interference with the latter. | 06-11-2009 |
20090184525 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND LATCH STRUCTURE THEREOF - A latch structure is disclosed, including a base, a first element disposed on the base and having a first guiding portion with a driving surface thereon, a second element having a second guiding portion, and a latching element driven by the second element. The first element disposed on the base moves between a first reference position and a second reference position with respect to a first axis. The driving surface of the first guiding portion is extended along a reference axis passing through the first axis. The second element moves between a first predetermined position and a second predetermined position with respect to a second axis. The second guiding portion of the second element guided by the first guiding portion of the first element is movably contacted by the driving surface thereon. The latching element driven by the second element is moved between a latching position and an unlatching position. | 07-23-2009 |

20080238113 | Locking device for the closing lid of washing machines - Locking device for the closing lid of a washing machine or the like, comprising an enclosure ( | 10-02-2008 |
20090033107 | Door closing mechanism - In a door closing mechanism for a hinged door arranged in a door frame, comprising a door fixture mounted to the door frame, a final door closing pull arrangement disposed in the door- or the frame fixture and a door closing pull arrangement counter part mounted on the frame, or respectively, the door fixture, the final door closing mechanism includes a catcher with a closing pull element which is moved toward a front position in which it is retained. A closing pull mechanism counter piece has a trigger element with which the closing pull element comes directly or indirectly into contact during door closing for pulling the to a closed position. | 02-05-2009 |
20090206614 | Locker latch assembly - A locker latch assembly has a bearing located on the part of the latch where the door-mounted portion of the latch contacts the frame-mounted portion of the latch which increases ease of use, effectiveness of latching, and reduces wear caused by friction between the parts. | 08-20-2009 |
20100090479 | HATCH STOP FOR WIND TURBINES - A hatch stop for a wind turbine having an enclosure with a hatch, including a first prong arranged between an external surface of the hatch and an external surface of the enclosure. | 04-15-2010 |
20100264676 | TERTIARY LOCK FOR PIVOT DOOR THRUST REVERSER - A locking assembly partially housed between a forward bulkhead and an aft bulkhead of an aircraft's fan duct for preventing a pivot door of a thrust reverser from inadvertently opening during flight and providing over-stow assistance during opening and closing of the pivot door. The locking assembly may comprise a lock arm configured to mate with a lock arm receiver fixed to the pivot door. The lock arm may have a first portion pivotally attached to a locking assembly housing mounted between the bulkheads, and a second portion extending aftward through an opening in the aft bulkhead. When the lock arm is pivoted away from the pivot door, the second portion may be configured to push inward against the lock arm receiver, urging the pivot door inward while simultaneously moving the lock arm away from the lock arm receiver to allow the pivot door to open outward. | 10-21-2010 |

20090115199 | Door Locking Mechanism - A system and method for locking a door. An assembly has a first engagement surface. A door is coupled to the assembly, the door including a latch member having a second engagement surface for engaging the first engagement surface. A movable member is capable of generating a force against at least one of the assembly and the door to press together and substantially prevent disengagement of the first engagement surface and the second engagement surface. | 05-07-2009 |
20100127515 | PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A portable electronic device includes a main housing, a moveable housing, and a latching member. The main housing defines a latching groove. The movable housing is slidably positioned on the main housing. The latching member is positioned on the movable housing. When the portable electronic device is nested, the latching member the latching groove such that the movable housing and the main housing are fixed together. | 05-27-2010 |
20120086223 | Tilt-In Window Holder - A device for supporting in an open position a tilting platform, such as a shelf or window, movably connected to a frame, said device comprising a unitary structure having a platform-contacting portion and an anchor portion, wherein the platform-contacting portion and the anchor portion are connected to form a fixed angle between the portions or are movably connected to one another such that the connection of the portions forms an adjustable angle between the portions. | 04-12-2012 |
