FENESTRATION UNIT WITH ACCESSIBLE IG SPACE
Various systems and methods are provided for controlling access to the insulated glass space of a fenestration unit. A hinge lug is provided including a lug body having a mounting portion, a cam portion defining a curved cam surface, and a retention portion projecting from the cam portion, and a first retention arm extending from the lug body such that the retention arm is elastically deflectable away from the retention lip. A restrictor link is provided including a restrictor link body having a first end and a second end, wherein the restrictor link body is elastically deflectable, a securing lock positioned proximate the second end, and a cap extending from the securing lock, the cap defining an engaging surface operable to engage the lip channel of the sash. A latch system is provided including a latch base with a ramp access aperture and a latch body including a ramp.
CONTAINER WITH LATCH ASSEMBLY
The invention is directed to a latch assembly for use with a top cap for connecting the top cap to a container body. The latch assembly includes a latch having a latch body with a planar portion and an arcuate portion. A snap hook and a pull tab is connected to an end of the arcuate portion. The latch also includes a clasping portion for securing it to a ramp on the top cap and a spring element.
MAGNETIC-ACTUATION LATCH DEVICE
The disclosure relates to a magnetic-actuation latch device. The magnetic-actuation latch device includes a housing, a latch element, a sliding plate, an elastic component, a rotating element and a limitation element. A lateral opening of the housing spatially corresponds a first magnetic block mounted on a fixed component. When a second magnetic block of the latch element is aligned to the first magnetic block, an actuation force is generated to drive the latch element to pass through the lateral opening and engage with the fixed component. The elastic component is connected between the sliding plate and the housing. When the rotating element is rotated by an external force, the sliding plate is driven to misalign the second magnetic block from the first magnetic block, and the latch element does not pass through the lateral opening. The limitation element is pivotally connected to the housing for blocking the rotating element.
Magnetically-triggered lock mechanism
A lock mechanism for interengaging two relatively movable components includes a bolt mounted within a first component and interengageable with a second component when the first and second components are in a predetermined position relative to each other and the bolt is extended. A magnetically-releasable latch mechanism is positioned to latch the bolt in a retracted position and is mounted for movement between a biased latch engaging position and a latch releasing position in a non-common direction of movement of the bolt. A first magnet is disposed within a trigger being translatable along an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bolt and a second magnet is positioned to displace the latch mechanism to the latch releasing position as the trigger is caused to translate vertically when the first component is in the predetermined position relative to the second component to permit displacement of the bolt to the extended position.
Video recording triggered by a smart lock device
An intelligent door lock system coupled to a door at a dwelling. a door status device is at the dwelling. The door status device is coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device to assist in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device at the door. The lock device is coupled to the door status device and includes a bolt. An engine, an energy source and a memory are coupled together. A camera is coupled to or part of the intelligent door lock system. The camera is configured to record in response to door lock status.
LOCKING DEVICE WITH A MECHANICAL ARRANGEMENT FOR SELECTING AN ACTIVE SIDE OF A DOOR
The present invention relates to a locking device with arrangement for selecting an active side of a door, the locking device comprising—a first side configured to face a first side of a door and a second side configured to face a second side of a door when the locking device is mounted in the door, —a bolt that is configured to move between an extended position and a retracted position, said movement being in a direction parallel to the first side and the second side, and—a bolt operating mechanism configured to control a position of the bolt, and the arrangement comprising—a first handle receiving portion arranged on the first side of the locking device, and configured to rotate when a first handle is operated, —a second handle receiving portion arranged on the second side of the locking device, and configured to rotate when a second handle is operated, wherein the first handle receiving portion and the second handle receiving portion are configured to move independently of each other; the arrangement also comprising—a connector configured to transmit a movement from the first handle receiving portion or the second handle receiving portion to the bolt operating mechanism of the locking device; —an actuator movable from a first position, in which it connects the first handle receiving portion to the connector to a second position in which it connects the second handle receiving portion to the connector, so that a rotation of the first handle receiving portion or second handle receiving portion is configured to generate a movement of the bolt; —and a fastening device configured to fixate the actuator in the first position or the second position, —wherein the fastening device is configured to be accessible from a third side of the locking device, said third side being essentially perpendicular to the first and second side.
DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM
A locking system for a door, including a primary locking mechanism and a secondary locking mechanism, in which the primary locking mechanism includes an electrical actuator that causes a first plate and a second plate to be magnetically attracted to one another when actuated such that rotation of a doorknob effects a corresponding rotation of the spindle, and in which the secondary locking mechanism includes a detent that is formed in a knob collar and an aperture that extends through a rotator collar; and a pin that is translatable through the aperture to be disposed in the detent of the knob collar, when the secondary locking mechanism is in an unlocked condition, such that the knob collar and the rotator collar are rotatably fixed to one another.
Sludge containment vessel and method for use in concert with a vacuum truck in spill containment
A container for use with a vacuum truck includes a container body. The container body defines a door opening and a container closure including a door panel sized to fit the door opening. The door panel is hingedly attached relative to rear frame elements at the hinge side and is movable to occupy the door opening. The door panel defines a drain port under a horizontal beam. The drain port includes a stopcock having an open and a closed state. The stopcock is selectably movable from the open to the closed state or from the closed to the open state. The container body defines at least two additional ports situated above the midpoints of the frames and includes fittings to engage vacuum hoses such that any volume the vacuum truck draws through one of the hoses, the container body draws a corresponding volume through the other of the two ports.
Mounting system, devices, methods and uses thereof
The present specification discloses systems, devices, and methods provide a mounting system which includes rail and a bracket which is selectively secured to the rail. The bracket is selectively and/or automatically locked to the rail when positioned on the rail, and may be removed from the rail by activating one or more buttons or actuators. The disclosed mounting systems, devices, and methods enable a device to be protected from impact and moisture exposure, enable a device to be securely mounted on a base, and/or enable a device to be quickly secured and removed from a base.
LATCH ASSEMBLY FOR TONNEAU COVER
A latch assembly for a tonneau cover. The latch assembly includes a button and a slider. The slider is movably coupled to the button. Movement of the button in a first direction causes the slider to move in an unlatching direction. Movement of the button in a second direction causes the slider to move in a latching direction.
