Modular multi-point lock
An electronic remote lock actuator includes a face plate defining a longitudinal axis. A housing disposed adjacent to the face plate. A motor disposed in the housing, and a first drive bar configured to be linearly moveable along the longitudinal axis by the motor. The first drive bar includes a first end and an opposite second end. The first end is configured to be secured to a second drive bar of a mechanical remote lock assembly such that linear movement of the first drive bar is translated to linear movement of the second drive bar along the longitudinal axis.
DOOR LATCH ARRANGEMENT
A latch arrangement for a door includes a plurality of steps disposed at an interior of the door. One of the plurality of steps is rotatable relative to the door between a first position and a second position. The door is movable between a closed position and an open position. A latch is in operable communication with the rotatable step. The latch is engageable with a latch receiver to lock the door in the closed position in response to the rotatable step being in the first position. The latch is disengageable from the latch receiver when the step is in the second position thereby allowing the door to move to the open position.
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.
USE OF SOUND DAMPENING MATERIAL FOR NOISE REDUCTION
Hardware for a door, latch assemblies, exit device assemblies, and jalousies are disclosed herein. Hardware for a door includes at least one component formed from a material configured to dampen sound produced in use of the hardware. An exit device assembly includes at least one component formed from a material configured to dampen sound produced in use of the exit device assembly. A jalousie includes at least one component formed from a material configured to dampen sound produced in use of the jalousie.
DOOR LOCKING DEVICE
Adjustment device of the opening of a door of the type including two opposite members apt to be mounted to a door and to a post, respectively, and provided with housing holes of screws for the engagement with a surface, one of the bodies including a solid body except for a cavity provided on one of the side walls, the other one of the bodies including an outside shell internally provided with a housing cavity of a sliding body, characterised in that adjustment means of the movement of the sliding body are furthermore provided, arranged perpendicularly to the sliding body housed within a cavity provided on the top surface of the outer shell as well as dampening and thrust means of the sliding body.

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.
VEHICLE INTERIOR COMPONENT
A vehicle interior component is disclosed. The component may comprise a cover movable relative to a base between closed and open positions and a latch mechanism comprising a magnet arrangement for movement within the cover for engaged and disengaged states. The magnet arrangement may maintain the disengaged state after the cover is released from the base. A magnet of the base may retain the engaged state, a magnet may retain the disengaged state. The magnet arrangement may be concealed within the cover; a magnet arrangement may be concealed within the base. The base may comprise a first magnet on a sidewall and a second magnet on another sidewall; the cover may comprise a first magnet to engage the first magnet of the base and a second magnet to engage the second magnet of the base. The component may comprise a trim component, console, floor console, center console, or compartment.
Locking device for pivoting cowls of a thrust reverser
The present disclosure provides a device for locking a first cowling and a second cowling of a thrust reverser of an aircraft propulsion assembly. The cowlings are mounted such that each cowl pivots around a longitudinal axis between a closed flight position and an open maintenance position. The locking device includes a telescopic connecting rod having at least one sliding shaft, a locking mechanism on a proximal end of a shaft on the second cowling, and a connecting rod support. The connecting rod support or the tubular element includes two walls each delimiting a hole, and the tubular element of the connecting rod or the connecting rod support has two support fingers which each extend longitudinally on a side of the tubular element into a hole. The holes engage with the support fingers when the cowlings are open and allow free movement of the support fingers in a closed-cowlings configuration.
