20090039659 | Door Anti-Latch Device - A door anti-latch device includes a base mounted to a door or a door frame, and a lever rotatably mounted to the base so that the lever can rotate about a pivot point from an open position to a latching position. The lever includes a handle end and an opposing stop end. The lever can be rotated between the open position and the latching position by moving the lever handle. The lever stop prevents the door from latching when the lever is in the open position and will not prevent the door from latching when the lever is in the latching position. The door anti-latch device can be moved from the open position to the latching position without leaving the room or opening the door. | 02-12-2009 |
20090045636 | LATCH SYSTEM FOR AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM - A latch system and method according to which a latch is connected to a component such as a chassis. A component is adapted for movement relative to the chassis at an angle of from about 0 degrees to about 90 degrees. The component is operably engaged in response to the relative movement. | 02-19-2009 |
20130038075 | STRIKER CONCEALMENT MECHANISM AND METHOD - A vehicle closure assembly includes a closure movable relative to a vehicle opening between closed and open positions. A latch is coupled to one of a threshold of the vehicle opening and the closure, and a striker is coupled to the other of the threshold of the vehicle opening and the closure. The striker and latch are engageable to secure the closure in the closed position. A striker cover is movable relative to the striker between a concealing position in which the striker is substantially concealed from the latch, and an exposing position in which the striker is substantially exposed to the latch. An actuator is coupled to the striker cover and is operable to move the striker cover to the concealing position or the exposing position from the other position in response to movement of the closure relative to the vehicle opening. | 02-14-2013 |
20130229023 | DOOR JAMB SECURITY FEATURE - A protective cover for the lock-side of a door jamb is disclosed having a cover with a height that is less than or equal to the height of the door jamb. The cover includes a main portion and a first and second wall extending therefrom. The main portion is perpendicular to the first and second walls, and the first and second walls are parallel to each other. The apparatus also includes at least one backup plate recessed from a face of the main portion having a hole that is configured to receive a door latch or dead bolt. In the installed condition, the main portion and the first wall rests against and in contact with the vertical lockside portion of the door jamb, and the second wall is inserted into the vertical lockside portion of the door jamb. | 09-05-2013 |
20140035301 | Strike with Ejector Plate - A lock with a latch and a strike having an ejector plate slidably mounted within the strike box of the strike. The ejector plate is spring-loaded in order to eject foreign material from the strike box to assure that the strike box is cleared to accept the latch bolt of the latch. | 02-06-2014 |
20140265377 | RETRACTABLE STRIKER COVER ASSEMBLY FOR VEHICLE - A retractable cover assembly is provided for a vehicle to cover a latching component such as the striker of a trunk door. The assembly includes a retractable cover and a support structure for supporting the cover at a position to cover the striker. The assembly further includes an arrangement for actuating the cover between an open position exposing the striker and a closed position covering the striker. A first light source may illuminate the cover and a second light source may illuminate an interior of the vehicle when the cover is in the closed position. | 09-18-2014 |
20140319856 | ANGLED SECURITY PLATE - An angled security plate is configured to increase tensile strength of a door jamb attached to a door frame and prevent an unwanted entry through a door. The angled security plate includes a first leg connected to a second leg at a right angle. A deadbolt tab is connected to the second leg creating a deadbolt channel. Mounting screws are driven through the first leg and connecting the angled security plate to the door frame. Strike mounting screws are driven through the second leg and connecting the second leg to the door jamb and an upper strike which can accommodate a deadbolt. The deadbolt tab increases the tensile strength of the door jamb by requiring an intruder to break through both the door jamb and the door frame to effect the unwanted entry. | 10-30-2014 |
20150368941 | COVER DEVICE FOR A RETAINING JAWS MODULE - A cover device, includes a movable cover configured to cover retaining jaws of a retaining jaws module; a retaining cover connected to a side wall frame of a vehicle body and configured to enclose in the shape of a U an insertion end side of a retaining jaws module for insertion of a striker plate module to releasably couple with the retaining jaws module so as to connect a vehicle door with the side wall frame, and adjacent longitudinal sides of the retaining jaws module in transverse direction of the vehicle; and a rubber lip configured to elastically connect the retaining cover to the retaining jaws module and to compensate for tolerance compensation. | 12-24-2015 |
