A door latch and a dishwasher fitted with a door latch are described. The door latch has a body, a pawl provided with a rotating shaft, a first gap being provided between two ends of the rotating shaft, and a mounting slot being provided in one side of the pawl, a first pin mounted on the pawl, the first pin being mounted in the mounting slot in the pawl, a spring having two ends which are connected to the body and the pawl, respectively, a first end of the spring being connected to the first pin through the first gap. During installation of the door latch, assembly of the door latch is quick and easy because the first pin is put into the pin mounting slot in the pawl from the top side of the pin mounting slot, and repair with changing of components is also easy.

A device for locking a pivotal protective device, such as a safety bracket or a weather protection hood, of a chair for a chairlift. The device has interacting projections, one of which is connected to a frame of the chair and the other of which is connected to the protective device. At least one of the projections is resiliently mounted, and the projections are equipped with sliding surfaces which produce a deformation of the resilient bracket after a defined force has been applied to the safety bracket and allow the projections to slide past one another in both directions.

A safe and user-friendly door, especially for logistics containers, which preferably includes a quadrilateral frame, defining the perimeter for the door. A latch is provided movably to the frame so as to be manipulated between a locking state, in which at least a distal portion of the latch protrudes outside the perimeter, and a released state, in which the distal portion is flush with or inside the perimeter. The frame also preferably includes a diagonal guide, which is configured to guide the latch between the locking state and the released state by allowing deviation of the latch along a path diagonal to the quadrilateral shape of the frame.

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.

An apparatus (100), including: a housing (106); female threads (138) recessed into a bottom end of the housing; a through-slot (162) oriented to transverse to a longitudinal extent (908) of the housing; and an adjustment mechanism (176) configured such that adjustment of the adjustment mechanism adjusts an amount of occlusion of the through-slot.

A lock assembly is provided for use with a dispenser comprising a housing having an interior volume for holding a dispensable product, the housing having an openable part for providing an access to the interior of the housing. The lock assembly comprises a lock housing, an operation mode insert portion, a lock cylinder comprising a lock cylinder base and a bore adapted to receive the operation mode insert portion, a latch connected to the lock cylinder base operable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration, and a resilient member biasing the latch towards the locked configuration. The operation mode insert portion is configured to form a releasable connection with the lock cylinder base and the releasable connection is accessible at the lock cylinder base to allow release of the connection and removal of the operation mode insert portion from the lock cylinder.

An aircraft cowl arrangement may comprise a first half, and a second half rotatable between an open position and a closed position, a first seal coupled to the first half, a second seal coupled to the second half, and a latch arrangement for preventing relative movement between the first half and the second half. The latch arrangement may comprise a tie rod comprising a first end coupled to the first half, a second end, and a frame having an opening for receiving the second end of the tie rod, a latch handle rotatably mounted to the frame, and a hook operably coupled to the latch handle, wherein the latch handle is configured to move between a first position wherein the hook is engaged with the second end of the tie rod and a second position wherein the hook is disengaged from the second end of the tie rod.

Provided is a console box capable of reducing a sound generated in the event of abutment between abutting sections with a simple configuration.

Console box 10 includes box 12 and lid 13 opening and closing at least a part of box 12. Lid 13 includes lid body main body 21 movable with respect to box 12 and locking section 22 movable with respect to lid body main body 21 and locking lid 13 to box 12. At least one of box 12 and lid body main body 21 has abutting section 28. Locking section 22 has abutting section 43 abutting against abutting section 28 when lid 13 is locked to box 12. At least one of abutting section 28 and abutting section 43 is a deformation section absorbing an impact by being deformed at least in part by abutting against the other.

21. Sludge Containment Vessel and Method for Use in Concert with A Vacuum Truck in Spill Containment Inventor Terrance Terry R. Thomas II Abstract of the Disclosure

A crate assembly includes a plurality of members defining an interior of the crate assembly, where the plurality of members includes a front, a back, a top, a bottom, a first side and a second side. A frame is formed in one of the plurality of members, the frame having a plurality of interconnected horizontal and vertical wires that define a door opening. A door is pivotally coupled to the frame about a pivot wire of the frame to move between an open position and a closed position. A latch assembly is pivotally coupled to a horizontal wire of the frame. The latch assembly includes a wire having a first end, a second end and a transverse portion, the wire forming a first portion defined between the first end and the transverse portion and a second portion defined between the second end and the transverse portion.
