Door-lock device for household appliance, in particular dishwashers
A door-lock device for appliances, such as dishwashers, is provided. The door-lock device includes a support, and a lock wheel rotationally carried by the support around an axis of rotation. The lock wheel includes a hub and a plurality of locking arms that radially protrude from the hub. The hub may include a plurality of retention surfaces, and at least one retention element. The at least one retention element may be elastically pressed into contact with the hub to hold the lock wheel in a plurality of locking positions.
Locking device
A locking device comprises a latch, a spindle and a rotary assembly. The latch is fixed to an object to be locked for engaging with a bore of a strike; the latch has a bolt which locks the object. One end of the spindle is detachably connected to the latch to drive the bolt to move towards or away from the bore. The rotary assembly is disposed at the other end of the spindle, which comprises a cylinder body and a rotary body, the cylinder body is rotated by the rotary body as it rotates, wherein one end of the rotary assembly is provided with a spindle driving means engaged with the other end of the spindle to drive the spindle to rotate. The rotary assembly drives the spindle to rotate via the spindle driving means, and the spindle drives the bolt to move approaching the bore to realize locking.
ELECTRIC LOCK BODY
An electric lock body is provided. The electric lock body includes a housing, a driving mechanism, and a bolt. The driving mechanism includes a motor, a planetary gear assembly, and a cage. The planetary gear assembly includes a ring gear, a planet gear, and a sun gear. The motor is rotatably connected to the sun gear. The planet gear is rotatably connected between the sun gear and the ring gear. The cage is disposed at one side of the planetary gear assembly. The ring gear and the sun gear each abut against the cage. The planet gear is connected to the cage. The bolt is connected to the cage. When the cage rotates, the bolt is driven by the cage to move, to make the bolt switch between an unlocked state where the bolt is accommodated in the housing and a locked state where the bolt extends beyond the housing.
Torque-limiting spindle
An exemplary torque-limiting spindle includes an input member, an output member, a clutch mechanism, and a bias mechanism. The input member extends along a longitudinal axis, is configured for connection with a handle, and includes a first engagement feature. The output member extends along the longitudinal axis, is configured for connection with a rotatable member of a lockset, and includes a second engagement feature. The clutch mechanism includes the first engagement feature and the second engagement feature. The bias mechanism is engaged with the input member and the output member and exerts a biasing force urging the first engagement feature and the second engagement feature into engagement with one another.
Double latch dual action gravity latch
A double lock, dual action gravity latch device to secure a gate in a closed position comprising a latch assembly including a pivotal latch member movable between a latched and unlatched position, a keeper assembly including a striker pin to maintain the gate in the closed position when the pivotal latch member in the latched position, a latch lock assembly including a lock assembly with a first lock and a second lock each independently movable between a locked position and an unlocked position disposed on opposite sides of the gate to selectively move a latch blocking assembly from a latch blocking position to a latch unblocking position when either the first lock or second lock is moved from the locked position to the unlocked position and move the latch blocking assembly from the latch unblocking position to the latch blocking position when the unlocked lock is moved from the unlocked position to the locked position.
Safety device for a motor vehicle having a rotary latch and an ejection spring
A safety device for a motor vehicle, which has a striker, a pawl, an ejection spring ejecting the striker, and a rotary latch, wherein the rotary latch has an opening direction of rotation, a closing direction of rotation an open position, and a main locking position, wherein the ejection spring has a leg and the leg lies directly against the striker in the main locking position of the rotary latch and the leg lies directly against the rotary latch in at least one intermediate position of the rotary latch, in which the rotary latch is between the main locking position and the open position.
DOOR EXTENSION COMPONENTS TO ACCOMMODATE MULTIPLE DOOR THICKNESS
An adapter set for a door handle mechanism comprising a first handle assembly and a second handle assembly includes at least one spindle adapter removably connectable to a spindle of one of the first handle assembly and the second handle assembly and at least one post adapter removably connectable to a post extending from the first handle assembly.
System and method for securing calf hutches
A securement system for securing one or more calf hutches is provided. The securement system includes latch assemblies and a line. The latch assemblies are configured to be attached to the calf hutches and comprise receiver flanges and latch arms. Each receiver flange includes a vertically-extending plate defining a locking slot with an open end. Each latch arm may be shifted between a closed position in which it blocks the open end of the locking slot and an open position in which it does not block the open end of the locking slot. Each latch arm is biased to the closed position.
Systems and methods for high visibility latch handle
A latch handle arrangement includes a latch handle body and a removable insert. The latch handle body comprises a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a transverse wall extending from the first sidewall to the second sidewall. The latch handle body further comprises one or more apertures disposed in the latch handle body. The removable insert is configured to be coupled to the latch handle body. The removable insert comprises an insert body and one or more bosses protruding from the insert body into the respective apertures disposed in the latch handle body, wherein the boss(es) are visible from an external surface of the latch handle body.
Locking module
A locking module for selectively coupling a first component and a second component of a lockable device includes a housing and a magnet arranged within said housing. A locking element is movable relative to said housing between an unlocked position and a locked position. An engagement member is rotatable about an axis to selectively decouple said locking element from said magnet to move said locking element between said unlocked position and said locked position.
