A vehicle glove box latch includes a housing, a paddle pivotably connected to the housing, a rotor pivotably connected to the housing, a pawl coupled to the rotor and having an end that is engaged with an opening in the vehicle, and a lock barrel mounted to the housing for locking and unlocking the vehicle glove box latch. In a locked state of the lock barrel, the pawl cannot be disengaged from the opening in the vehicle. In an unlocked state of the lock barrel, the pawl can be disengaged from the opening for opening the vehicle glove box. The lock barrel, the rotor and the rotor mounting portion are concentrically aligned along an axis, which reduces the depth of the latch, which reduces the space in the glove box necessary for accommodating the latch, thereby resulting in an increase in the available storage space in the glove box.

A latch and catch assembly including a catch attachable to a first structure such as a door, and a latch mechanism attachable to a second structure such as a cabinet, the latch mechanism and the catch cooperating to secure the first structure relative to the second structure. The latch mechanism includes first and second hooks mounted for pivoting movement between an engagement position for engaging with the catch and a disengagement position for disengaging from the catch, a translating gear rail positioned between the first and second hooks coordinating pivoting movement of the first and second hooks, and an actuator mechanism for driving movement of the translating gear rail to drive the first and second hooks toward their disengagement position.

The present application relates to a handle arrangement (1) for a door (10), comprising a handle (2) and a locking clamp (3) for engaging a locking element on a door frame (70). The locking clamp is arranged to rotate around a first axis (A) from a locking to an intermediate position and to move linearly along a second axis (B) from the intermediate to an open position, when the handle is moved between a closed, intermediate, and open state. The arrangement comprises a resilient means (8) arranged to keep the locking clamp from moving from the intermediate position towards the open position until a force applied in the direction of the linear movement of the locking clamp towards the open position exceeds a resilient force of the resilient means. With this arrangement, a handle arrangement which may be opened in several steps is provided such that the opening of a door may be performed in a controlled manner.

The present invention relates to a handle assembly for a door having a locking mechanism. The handle assembly comprises a handle; a housing adapted to receive and store the handle; and a handle release assembly. The handle release assembly comprises an activation release mechanism adapted to selective move the handle from a stored inoperable position into a released operable position, and a translation mechanism adapted to move the handle rotatably about and axially along an axis normal to the planar surface of the housing during operation.

A latch for coupling of a first component to a second component, the latch having a base body which includes a first bearing, a second bearing and a third bearing, the latch having a lever which is mounted pivotably on the first bearing about a first pivot axis between a locking position and an unlocking position, the latch having a locking which is mounted pivotably on the second bearing and which includes a spring-loaded locking part, which locking part rests on the lever in order to transmit a predetermined braking force to the lever in the locking position of the lever, the latch further including a release lever which is mounted movably on the third bearing between a blocking position for blocking the locking in the locking position and a release position for releasing the locking from the locking position.

A pull handle structure includes a carrier mounted on a first object, a pull handle movably assembled to the carrier, and a limiting section located on the pull handle for connecting to, interfering with or engaging with a second object. By operating the pull handle to move the carrier, the first object can be engaged with or separated from the second object. Therefore, the pull handle structure has the advantages of being securely lockable in place and operable in an easy, convenient, effortless and quick manner.

A latch arrangement may comprise a latch bolt configured to rotate about a pivot, and a shear pin coupled to the latch bolt. A counterbore may receive the shear pin whereby lateral loads may be transferred between a door panel and a frame.

A low profile actuating window lock for casement windows having a longitudinal slot in a sidewall of the casing for the lock, wherein an actuator including a fork component translates within the slot in a direction opposite movement of the handle, the handle pivotable about a restrictor arm that pivots relative to the casing, allowing the handle to rotate from the locked position to the unlocked position with low clearance from the window frame. The pivot points of the handle and restrictor arm configuration allow for an over center linkage that prevents back driving the casement window lock.
