| 20110012374 | PIEZO ACTUATED SLIDE LATCHING MECHANISM - A latching mechanism is particularly suited for use in latching a slide mechanism, such as used to slidably mount a drawer. The latching mechanism includes a latch assembly comprising a latch lever mounted for movement between a first, second and third positions, a latch tab for selective engagement with a second end of the latch lever, and a piezo electric controller. The controller has a plunger configured to selectively control the movement of the latch lever between the first and second positions, the plunger movable between an extended position corresponding to a first, locked position of the latch lever and a retracted position corresponding to the second, unlocked position of the latch lever, the controller when unpowered preventing the plunger from moving from the extended to the retracted position and the controller when powered permitting the plunger to move from the extended to the retracted position. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110115239 | LID LOCK APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE - A lid lock apparatus for a vehicle includes a retainer, a cap, and a lock pin. The retainer includes a fitting portion to which an end portion of the cap is configured to fit from an outside of the lid box towards an inside of the lid box and a first engaging portion formed to be positioned outward of the lid box relative to the fitting portion. The cap includes an operational lever portion configured to be elastically deformed to tilt by an operation at an outside of the lid box and including a second engaging portion configured to engage with and disengage from the first engaging portion. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110140462 | Lockable Cable-Actuated Latching Mechanism - Concepts and technologies described herein provide for a lockable cable-actuated mechanism for latching and releasing aircraft and other stowage bins. According to various aspects, a cable-actuated coupling mechanism includes a handle assembly and a latch assembly. The handle assembly includes an exterior handle connected to a pivoting arm. The latch assembly includes a release mechanism configured to release the latch upon rotation of the release mechanism. A cable connects the pivoting arm of the handle assembly to the release mechanism such that rotation of the exterior handle applies tension to the cable, pulling the release mechanism of the latch assembly. According to other aspects, a locking mechanism may selectively disengage the pivoting arm from the exterior handle to prevent rotation of the pivoting arm when the exterior handle is rotated. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20120169071 | MOTORIZED SYSTEM FOR LATCHING AND UNLATCHING CASEMENT WINDOWS - A power-operated latch is integrated to a casement window for selectively locking and unlocking a vertically hinged window sash. The power-operated latch is adapted to be concealed in the window frame and is directly connectable to the existing window latch hardware. A reversible rotary motor drives a lead screw on which a slider is threadably engaged for pivoting a lever connected to a longitudinally movable latch bar. | 07-05-2012 |
| 20120175893 | INTUITIVE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR POWER ASSISTED VEHICLE DOORS - A heavy vehicle door or ramp is opened and closed using an intuitive control system. The door includes a latch assembly, a lock assembly, and a power unit to assist in opening and closing the door. The door includes an interior joy stick handle and an exterior lever handle. From outside the vehicle, the door is opened and closed by pivoting the lever handle downwardly and upwardly, respectively. From the interior of the vehicle, the joy stick handle is pulled inwardly to close the door and pushed outwardly to open the door. Pivoting the joystick handle forwardly engages the blast locks, while pivoting the joystick handle rearwardly unlatches the latch assembly and disengages the blast locks. The power assist unit is actuated by pivotal movement of the outside door handle and lateral pivotal movement of the interior joystick handle. | 07-12-2012 |
| 20120200095 | TUBULAR LEVER LOCK - A tubular lever lock has a lock body and a bolt connected to each other, an interior handle assembly, an exterior handle assembly, an interior button assembly connected to the interior handle assembly and the lock body, and an exterior clutch assembly connected to the exterior handle assembly and the lock body. Position of an adjusting tube relative to a driving rod of the interior button assembly is adjustable to allow the tubular lever lock to match a thickness of a door. A pressing panel and a transmission tube of the exterior clutch assembly are able to disengage from each other so the exterior handle assembly is unable to drive the lock body. | 08-09-2012 |
| 20140197645 | HANDLE DEVICE AND LOCK IMPLEMENTING THE SAME - A handle device includes a pivoting portion and a handle body. The pivoting portion includes a surrounding wall formed along a longitudinal axis, and the surrounding wall has a top surface. The handle body comprises an extending portion which protrudes from the pivoting portion along a radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and is apart from the top surface of the surrounding wall by a gap. | 07-17-2014 |
| 20150137526 | CLOSURE LATCH - A latch comprising a base, a handle, a socket, a nut, a threaded shank, and a hollow shaft is provided. The base includes a central through hole and a side recess. The handle includes a toothed holed end. The socket includes an upper toothed section, a lower extension, an intermediate annular flange, a tab extending outward from the flange, an axial channel through the socket, a top hole on the socket and communicating with the channel, and a shoulder between the channel and the top hole. The nut includes a hexagonal top hole and an internally threaded hole. The threaded shank includes an upper section, a lower section, an adjustment section extending downward from the lower section, and an intermediate annular flange between the upper section and the lower section; and the shaft includes an internally threaded hole. | 05-21-2015 |
| 20150308155 | ELECTRIC LATCH RETRACTION DEVICE FOR VERTICAL ROD DOOR LATCHES - An electric latch retraction device for vertical rod door latches includes an automatic adjustment feature including a limit switch and a linear sensor, such as a Hall effect sensor, which detects vertical position. A microcontroller monitors the vertical position of a pivoting retraction lever driven at the pivot by a linear driver. The housing for the electric latch retraction device is preferably external to the door and one end of the retraction lever extends into the door to drive a vertical rod door latch mechanism while an opposed end contacts the limit switch to signal that continued driving of the linear driver will begin to drive the vertical rod door latch. The microcontroller determines from the vertical position of the retraction lever when the limit switch is actuated whether the electric latch retraction device is mounted too high or too low. | 10-29-2015 |
| 20150368938 | LOCK FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE DOOR - The invention relates to a lock for a motor vehicle door with: a locking mechanism; an actuating compound lever which acts upon the locking mechanism; and a drive unit for at least one lever of the actuating compound lever. The drive unit comprises at least one motor and a bolt which is acted upon by the motor and is provided with a recess for at least one output shaft of the motor. | 12-24-2015 |
