An all-plastic, tumbler-free cam lock includes a cylindrical lock body with a flange extending radially from the distal end to be glued to a surface surrounding a mounting hole. The lock body has a bore extending axially and a central spindle received coaxially in the bore. A key has a cylindrical tubular key body insertable concentrically between the lock body shoulder and the distal end of the spindle. A pair of outer key lugs extend radially outwardly from the tubular key body to pass through the key channels of an interior shoulder of the lock body, thus permitting access only by one key configuration. A third key lug extends radially inwardly from the inner surface of the tubular key body to engage a keyway channel of the spindle.

LOCK ASSEMBLY
20220235580 · 2022-07-28 ·

A lock assembly, comprising: a lock cylinder comprising a cam; a deadbolt comprising a first cam follower and a second cam follower, each of the first cam follower and the second cam follower being configured to receive the cam; wherein rotation of the lock cylinder in a first rotational direction causes the cam to communicate with the first cam follower to drive the deadbolt from a retracted position to a first extended position, and further rotation of the lock cylinder in the first rotational direction causes the cam to com- municate with the first cam follower to drive the deadbolt from the first extended position to a second extended position; wherein rotation of the lock cylinder in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction causes the cam to communicate with the second cam follower to drive the deadbolt from the second extended position to the first extended position, and further rotation of the lock cylinder in the second rotational direction causes the cam to communicate with the first cam follower to drive the deadbolt from the first extended position to the retracted position.

A gravity-actuated latch mechanism is provided. The gravity-actuated latch mechanism may include a strike attached to a lid of a container and a latch body attached to an inside wall of the container. The latch body includes a housing and a catch accessible from outside of the housing, wherein the catch engages and disengages with the strike. The latch body includes a lever having a lever arm moveable between an engaged and disengaged position. The engaged position is engaged with the catch and the disengaged position is disengaged with the catch. The latch body also includes a latch actuation ball housed in an elongated passage within the housing. The lever arm of the lever extends into the elongate passage, allowing the latch actuation ball to apply force to the lever arm to move the lever from the engaged to the disengaged position in response to tipping the container for dumping.

A handle assembly, including at least: a first handle including at least one recess and a square spindle configured to be received at least partially within the recess of the first handle, in an initial configuration, the first handle is configured to slide freely along the longitudinal axis of the square spindle over a given distance, the first handle is configured to pass from the initial position to a securing configuration in which the first handle is immobilized in translation and in at least one direction of rotation with respect to the square spindle, by at least one displacement in rotation of the first handle about the longitudinal axis of the square spindle through an angle strictly less than 360°.

DOOR HANDLE ARRANGEMENT WITH INTERMEDIATE OPENING POSITION
20220205274 · 2022-06-30 ·

The present application relates to a handle arrangement for a door, comprising a handle arranged to move rotationally around a rotational axis between an open state and a closed state, a locking means for engaging with a locking element on a door frame, an intermediate link arranged between the handle and the locking means and arranged for transforming the rotational movement of the handle to substantially linear movement of the locking means, and a connection element. The handle is connected to the intermediate link by the connection element, and the intermediate link is arranged to perform a movement following an arcuate path when the handle is moved between the open state and the closed state.

Fenestration assembly operation hardware and methods for same

A fenestration hardware assembly includes a blade socket including a blade recess and an operator interface feature rotatably coupled with an operator housing. A latch blade is movably coupled with the operator housing. The latch blade is movable between deployed and withdrawn positions. In the deployed position at least a portion of the latch blade is received in the blade recess of the blade socket. In the withdrawn position the portion of the latch blade is recessed from the blade recess. The operator interface feature is rotatable between at least locked and unlocked configurations. In the locked configuration the latch blade is in the deployed position and received in the blade recess. In the unlocked configuration the latch blade is translated from the deployed position to the withdrawn position and withdrawn from the blade recess according to rotation of the operator interface feature.

Door-operating assembly
11365572 · 2022-06-21 · ·

A door-operating assembly has first and second subassemblies each having a housing, a magnet, a sleeve carrying the sleeve and rotatable in the respective housing about an axis, an actuator for rotating the first sleeve about the respective axis, and a rotation limiter restricting rotation of the respective sleeve and magnet. The magnets in a first position repel and push the respective sleeves axially away from each other such that the first rotation limiter is effective in a first direction on the first sleeve and the second rotation limiter is effective in a second rotation direction on the second sleeve. Conversely, the magnets in a second position attract and pull the sleeves axially toward each other such that the first rotation limiter is effective against the first rotation direction on the first sleeve and the second rotation limiter is effective against the second rotation direction on the second sleeve.
