LATCH MECHANISM OF STORAGE CASE
20210301567 · 2021-09-30 · ·

A latch mechanism of a storage case where a case cover is openably and closably connected to a case body, the latch mechanism includes a latch arm connected to the case body and an arm receiving portion provided on the case cover. A hook is formed on a tip side of the latch arm. A locking claw is formed on a tip side of the arm receiving portion. The arm receiving portion is formed with an inclined surface that guides the hook toward a claw tip of the locking claw.

Direct action window lock

A window latch for a sliding window having a sliding sash including a latch plate and a housing. The housing includes an engagement element movable relative to the housing from a locked position operatively engaged with the latch plate to an unlocked position disengaged from the latch plate. A handle is operatively coupled to the engagement element and movable from a first position to a second position in a first direction corresponding to the direction the sliding sash to which the handle is attached moves to an open position. The handle operatively moves the engagement element from the locked position to the unlocked position as the handle is moved in the first direction toward the second 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.

20210204422 · 2021-07-01 · ·

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.

Straight action flush lock for casement window and method of operating the same

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.

Concealed anti-tamper device

A concealed anti-tamper device to prevent unauthorized opening and tampering with a manufactured product includes a shell, an anti-dismantling structure concealed in the shell, and at least one key. The shell defines a through hole and a slot. The anti-dismantling structure includes anti-dismantling hook module with hook, driving module, and resetting component anti-dismantling hook module. The anti-dismantling hook module is movable within the shell, and when the product is to be locked, the separate key rotates the driving module, which drives the hook of the anti-dismantling hook module to embed in the slot. The key is rotated in the opposite direction to unlock, until the driving module separates from the anti-dismantling hook module, and the resetting component separates the hook from the slot by the restoring force of a spring.

WINDOW SASH LOCK AND TILT MECHANISM
20210156182 · 2021-05-27 ·

A window lock system includes a sash lock and at least one tilt latch. The sash lock includes a first housing, a lever, a cam, a slide plate, and at least one actuator movable via the lever. The tilt latch includes a second housing configured to be slidably mounted on a window sash and an independent bolt slidingly coupled to the first end of the second housing. A drive bar couples the at least one actuator and the second housing together. The sash lock is movable between at least a locked position, an unlocked position, and a tilt position by rotating the lever. When the sash lock is in the tilt position, the at least one actuator retracts relative to the first housing and via the drive bar retracts the first end of the second housing of the tilt latch relative to a side surface of the window sash.

Door closure

Disclosed is a closure for a door of a shipping container. The closure includes a housing, an outside handle pivotally mounted relative to the housing, an inside handle pivotally mounted relative to the housing, and a catch connected to the inside handle. The closure is configured so that movement of the inside handle between a first position and a second position causes corresponding movement of the catch. A locking mechanism can releasably fix the inside handle relative to the outside handle, such that when in a locked position rotation of the outside handle causes corresponding rotation of the inside handle and when in an unlocked position the inside handle can be rotated independently of the outside handle.

Threat Detection and Security Entryway System

An entryway system has at least one door having access hardware on both sides. The access hardware on both sides each have a first handing position that operates a latch and a second handing position that prevents latch operation. In response to a sensed condition, such as a trigger from a metal detector or other sensing device, one or both of the access hardware can be selectively re-handed from the first handing position to the second handing position.
