The latch mechanism has a first position at which the latch bolt is in the first safety position, the drive lever axis is in a first drive lever axis position, and the drive lever is engaged with the drive surface of the further transmission path component, a second position at which the latch bolt is in the closed position, the drive lever axis is in the first drive lever axis position, and the drive lever is engaged with the drive surface of the further transmission path component, and a third position at which the latch bolt is in the open position, the drive lever axis is in a second drive lever axis position, and the drive lever is disengaged from the drive surface of the further transmission path component. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080284180 | Child Safety Gate Assemblies - A child safety gate assembly for fitting across a staircase, passageway or the like includes a frame having at least one upstanding limb, pivotally connected to which is a gate carrying a latch assembly. The latch assembly is pivotally mounted on the gate and includes a latch member, a release member and an actuating member. The latch member is pivotally mounted on the gate and includes a movable latching portion. The latch member is movable, when the gate is closed, between a latched position, in which the movable latching portion is in engagement with a stationary latching portion and pivotal movement of the gate is prevented, and an unlatched position, in which the movable and stationary latching portions are not in engagement and pivotal movement of the gate is permitted. The release member cooperates with the latch member and is manually movable between a locked position, in which it prevents movement of the latch member out of the latched position, and an unlocked position, in which it permits movement of the latch member. The actuating member is connected to the latch member and is manually movable, when the release member is in the unlocked position, from a rest position to an operative position so as thereby to move the latch member from the latched position to the unlatched position. | 11-20-2008 |
