| 20090102204 | GATE LATCH EXTENSION HANDLE - A gate latch extension handle assembly configured for pivotally engaging a latch arm of a hinged catch of a gate latch assembly on a same side of a gate as the gate latch assembly includes a vertical member with a means for pivotal attachment to the latch arm of the hinged catch of the gate latch assembly. A guide bracket has a guide channel sized and shaped to slidingly receive a portion of the vertical member and allow and guide vertical reciprocating movement of the vertical member through the guide channel. A horizontal member attached to the top end of and perpendicular to the vertical member. The vertical member transmits to the latch arm force exerted on the horizontal member. Components may optionally include a phosphorescent polymer coating or additive to glow in the dark. A removable, permanently attached or integrally formed handgrip surrounds at least a portion of the horizontal member. Optionally, an adjustable extension is attached to the bottom end of the vertical member. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090184523 | LATCHING MECHANISM - An exemplary latching mechanism ( | 07-23-2009 |
| 20090295173 | Extension Bolt Assembly - A multi-point locking assembly is configured for use with a door mounted within a frame, and includes a lock mechanism mounted in the door. The lock mechanism has a moveable actuator. An extension bolt assembly is removably connected to the actuator, and includes an extension bolt that is moveable by movement of the actuator between an extended position and a retracted position. A guide assembly is adapted to be mounted in the door adjacent the frame. The guide assembly has a passage therethrough. The extension bolt extends through the passage in the guide assembly and the extension bolt is rotatable within the passage. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100156120 | WALK-IN BATHTUB WITH WATER-PROOF DOOR AND SEALING MECHANISM - A walk-in bathtub has an outward swinging door mounted on a door jam. The door is provided with a latching mechanism that includes an extendible latching pin for receipt within a latch receiver in the door jam. The latching pin has a contoured face for guiding the latching pin into the latch receiver, and for drawing the door close to the door jam to compress a gasket provided between the door and the door jam. A push button lock selectively locks the latching mechanism in the latched position. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100225124 | Push-pull type door latch with motion transfer belt - A push-pull type door latch opens a door by applying direct mechanical force on the pull side, and by remote action on the push side through conveying a force through a motion transfer belt that connects the two handles. The latch involves no access holes in the door so each handle may be situated at offset positions with respect to each other. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20110193352 | LOCK STRUCTURE - A lock structure with at least one latch comprises a base, a link member, a sliding member and a rotating member. The link member is moveable relative to the base to drive the latch. The sliding member is engaged with the link member and being capable of driving the link member. The rotating member is rotatably disposed between the base and the sliding member, wherein the rotating member is capable of driving the sliding member and the link member to drive the latch. | 08-11-2011 |

| 20130234448 | Electric Swing Plug Door Operator with Auxiliary Door Locking Mechanism - The invention is directed to an electric swing plug door operator with a remotely powered auxiliary lock mechanism, door striker, catch and manual release system for use on light to medium duty shuttle or utility vehicles. The swing plug door system includes a door operator and base plate assembly, a shaft and arm assembly, a guide rod assembly, a lower shaft pivot, a door panel with a leading edge catch and lock striker assembly, an auxiliary lock and a manual release cable. The auxiliary lock assembly includes a lock bar engaging the lock striker mounted to the trailing edge of the door panel when the door reaches the fully closed position. The door operator includes a manual release lever and gear motor subassembly to drive the door system linkage and to manually disengage the door linkage and lock assembly to gain manual egress from the vehicle. | 09-12-2013 |
| 20140239646 | LOCKING ARRANGEMENT FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE LID - A locking arrangement for a pivotable lid of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The locking arrangement includes an axially displaceable guided bolt which releasably engages with the lid. A rotatably mounted rocker is coupled to the bolt. A slotted link guide is arranged on a circumferential side of the rocker about its axis of rotation. The slotted link guide has a channel and a sliding element which is guided therein. The channel has an engagement position and counteracts movement of the sliding element out of the engagement position against a predetermined passage direction. The locking arrangement can be alternately brought into and out of engagement with the lid through successive axial displacements in order to lock or unlock the lid. | 08-28-2014 |
| 20150069764 | VEHICLE DOOR LOCK ACTUATION PREVENTION APPARATUS - A vehicle door opening actuation prevention apparatus includes a thin cross-section spacer coupled to a plate attached to a door handle frame. One end of the spacer is positioned relative to a door lock mounted within a vehicle door to limit the maximum amount of lateral inward movement of the door handle assembly toward the door lock during a side impact force on the vehicle door to prevent movement of the door lock actuator pin to the second door lock unlatch position via movement of the fork coupled to the door handle and engaged with the door lock actuator pin. | 03-12-2015 |
