A security swing handle comprises a housing and a handle pivotally mounted to the housing between a closed position and an open position. A locking insert is rotatably supported in the housing and operatively connected to a latch to actuate the latch to release the handle to an open position. A hasp assembly includes a hasp at the bottom of the housing and a plate member disposed within an interior of the housing adjacent to a bottom of the latch. A pin on the locking insert is disposed within an aperture of the plate member to move the plate member against the latch to release the handle to the open position when the locking insert is rotated. If a padlock locked to the hasp is subjected to blunt force, edges of the aperture shear the pin from the locking insert disabling the locking insert.

A cable lockout assembly to tightly secure a cable that is arranged in a looped configuration with valves or switches in an ON/OFF or partial ON condition. A base includes a through passage for the cable. A rotatable piece is mated relative to the base for rotation about a central axis screw. The rotatable piece can be confined to the base by a conical washer on the central axis screw. A tool for rotating the rotatable piece engages with clamping force with the rotatable piece to fasten or unfasten the cable inserted in the through passage by fastening the rotatable piece over the base when the cable is placed in between the rotatable piece and the base. A cable manner is also employed to hold the wound cable and prevent loss of cable when the lockout is not in use.

A portable support platform may include a plurality of elongate segments arranged substantially parallel and adjacent to one another. The segments may be configured for spanning a space between two support points to support a user. The platform may also include a tying portion configured for flexibly securing the plurality of segments together. The platform may be arranged in a substantially flat open position for supporting a user and a substantially rolled up closed position for convenient transport and storage.

A compression latch assembly for latching a panel to a frame includes a housing assembly, a lockplug assembly, a handle actuator assembly, and a rotating pawl assembly. The housing assembly defines an exterior well and a first and second compartment. The lockplug assembly resides within the first compartment and includes a lockplug having a circumferential guide surface. The handle actuator assembly has a handle within the exterior well, a crank coupled to the handle, and a drive shaft coupled to the crank. The handle and the crank rotate about common pivot point within the second compartment. The handle is selectively captured and ejected by interaction between the circumferential guide surface and a locking pin on the handle. The rotating pawl assembly has a hook defining a slot that receives the drive shaft. Pivotal movement of the handle actuates the hook by movement of the drive shaft within the slot.

This invention is directed to a door handle which is normally hidden within the door, be it either completely flush with a door surface, or partially protruding from said door surface. If a user wants to use the handle, then the user activates the handle using convention actuating techniques to extend the handle from the recess. Should an external object be placed between the handle and the door surface after the handle is operated and the retraction process begins, the handle movement is limited in the downward direction by the extension of an elastic link between the door handle and the rest of the retraction mechanism.

A vehicle door handle device includes a handle case including a hole, a cylinder lock unit disposed facing the hole and configured to switch a door lock device between a locked state and an unlocked state, a cover member pivotably supported by the handle case and configured to switch between a covered state of covering a keyhole of the cylinder lock unit and an exposed state of exposing the keyhole by pivoting at the hole, and a lever member configured to release a latch unit of the door lock device. The cover member includes an operation portion configured to rotate the cover member from the covered state to the exposed state and actuate the lever member.

A latch includes a first locking bolt, where a first extended position of the first locking bolt defines a first locked condition and a first retracted position defines a first unlocked condition. The latch also includes a second locking bolt, where a second extended position of the second locking bolt defines a second locked condition and a second retracted position defines a second unlocked condition. A biasing member operatively connects to the first locking bolt to bias the first locking bolt in the first extended position. A lever pivotally connects to the housing and operatively connects to the first locking bolt such that movement of the lever from a closed position to an opened position causes at least the first locking bolt to move from the first extended position to the first retracted position. A locking indicator is provided in associated with the second locking bolt.
