SLIDING WINDOW ASSEMBLY
A sliding window assembly includes a frame with a track, and a sliding window portion disposed in the frame and displaceable in the track between a closed position and an open position. The sliding window portion includes a handle pivotable between a lock position and a slide position, and a driving pin coupled with the handle and engaging the track. The driving pin defines a pivot axis for the handle. A guide pin spaced from the driving pin is selectively engageable with the track when the handle is pivoted from the lock position to the slide position. With the handle in the slide position, the sliding window portion is displaceable from its closed position to an open position.

QUIET TRIM ASSEMBLY
An exemplary trim assembly includes a mounting bracket and a lever pivotably mounted to the mounting bracket. The lever is pivotable between an actuated position and a deactuated position, and is biased toward the deactuated position. A bumper is mounted to the mounting bracket and engages the lever when the lever is in the deactuated position.

Lever actuated latch assembly
A latch assembly comprises an outside housing, a door latch, an external lever handle, a plunger, a resilient member, and a handle cam. The handle cam comprises a cam surface juxtaposed against and in sliding relation with a plunger cam surface. The plunger is maintained in the latched position when the external lever handle is in the retracted position by the resilient member, whereby an entry door cannot be unintentionally shifted from the closed position, and the plunger is displaced from the latched position to the unlatched position when the external lever handle is displaced from the retracted position to the extended position by the cam surface of the handle cam bearing against the plunger cam surface, whereby the entry door is free to be shifted from the closed position to the open position.

REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage space, a door configured to open and close the storage space, and a door opening device provided on the door and configured to open the door. The door opening device includes a case provided inside the door and in communication with openings on the front and rear surfaces of the door, a door handle mounted inside the case and configured to be rotated by a user and to shield an opening in the front surface of the door, and a push slider accommodated in the case and configured to reciprocate in a straight line, and having one end in contact with the door handle and the other end that protrudes through an opening at the rear surface of the door. The push slider moves rearward when the door handle is rotated and pushes the cabinet to open the door.
Wheel locking device
A locking device for locking a wheel of a vehicle is provided, where the device comprising a main module adapted to be attached to a rim of the wheel and configured to cover nuts or bolts that attach the wheel to the vehicle, a tubular center bolt having a threated outer surface and configured to adapt a lock cylinder, the tubular center bolt being further adapted to be connected to the main module via an insert sleeve; and at least one threaded element permanently assembled within a center bore or behind the rim; wherein the tubular center bolt is configured to be threadedly attached to the at least one threaded element to attach the locking device onto the wheel, and wherein the lock cylinder is configured to be arranged in a locking state within the center bolt in which the center bolt is prevented from rotating relative to the main module and the at least one threaded element, and in an open state in which the lock cylinder allows the center bolt to rotate relative to the main module and the at least one threaded element.
Easy open drawer/door with a rotating handle
A refrigerator includes a refrigerator body having an interior storage space. A door is coupled to the refrigerator body to open and close the interior storage space. A door handle is coupled to the door in a pivotally rotatable manner and an opening actuator is coupled to the door handle where the opening actuator applies a force to the refrigerator body to open the interior storage space. The opening actuator includes a front bezel, a handle pivot plate coupled to the door handle, a casing enclosing an actuator mechanism, and one or more pushers that extend and retract against a front wrapper edge of the refrigerator body. An intermediate attachment couples the handle pivot plate to the casing and a back bezel.
