A child safety lock mechanism for cabinets and drawers includes at least one right wall, at least one left wall, at least one lower tab lever, an upper button spring; a lower button spring; an upper button spring cover; a lower button spring cover; an upper leg; a lower leg; a double-sided tape for a right wall; a double-sided tape for an upper leg; and a double-sided tape for a lower leg. The child safety lock for cabinets and drawers includes a mechanism which is externally integrated to the cabinets and drawers for preventing material and non-material damages, particularly children's health, by preventing a children from reaching all kinds of articles in the form of a cabinet and drawer in the houses and offices, wherein the mechanism allows the cabinets and drawers to be opened only by the adults.

Technology is provided for a storage card adapter. The storage card adapter is used for housing storage cards (e.g., M.2 storage cards), and the storage card adapter can then be inserted into a drive bay. The storage card adapter includes a compression latch system that, when engaged, brings together the cover and carrier frame of the storage card adapter such that at least 100 lbs of compressive force is applied to thermal pads disposed on either side of storage cards housed within the storage card adapter. The compression latch system includes a cam into which a shaft of a compression latch is inserted. When a lever attached to one end of the shaft is pivoted about the shaft, a ramp on the opposite end of the shaft engages with an engagement ramp within the cam to thereby pull together the cover and carrier frame and provide the desired compressive force to the thermal pads. The storage card adapter also includes a spring latch that locks the lever of the compression latch into place when the compression latch is fully engaged with the cam.

A handle mechanism includes a gear drive having an interior end and an exterior end; an inside handle fixed to the interior end; a button; a finger; a handle drive; an outside handle; and a spring. The button has an interior end and an exterior end, which is positioned within the exterior end of the gear drive. The handle drive is positioned within the exterior end of the gear drive and is rotatable relative thereto. The outside handle and the handle drive rotate together. The outside handle moves between a first position, wherein it is constrained from rotation, and a second position. The finger is fixed to the exterior end of the button, which moves between a first position, wherein the finger causes the gear drive and the handle drive to rotate together, and a second position. The spring biases the button and the outside handle toward their first positions.

A latch mechanism is provided that includes a housing, a cap, and at least one indicator. The cap may include a central axis and may be mounted for selective rotational movement relative to the housing about the central axis between a latched position and an unlatched position. The at least one indicator may be interposed between the cap and the housing, such that the cap is in covering relationship to at least a portion of the at least one indicator. The at least one indicator may also be mounted for radial movement outwardly from the central axis relative to the cap as the cap is rotated from the latched position to the unlatched position such that the cap is no longer in covering relationship to the portion of the at least one indicator.

A fixed sash retainer system for a fenestration unit is disclosed. The retainer system includes a first and a second coupling member. The second coupling member is resiliently flexible between a first position and a second position. The second coupling member is configured to engage the first coupling member when in the first position and to disengage when in the second position. The second coupling member has a key feature configured to cooperate with the one of the sash and the frame to define a key slot. The key slot is configured to receive and engage a key that selectively retains the second coupling member in the second position.

A locking device for a sash window having a window sash moveably mounted in a window frame, the locking device comprising a body and a locking element moveable between an unlocked position and a locked position. The device includes a sensor system to detect whether the window sash is in a closed position in the window frame and also to detect whether the locking element is in the locked position. The device includes a first sensor comprising a first lock sensor component mounted for movement with the locking element and a second lock sensor component mounted to the body. The device also includes a second sensor comprising a first window sensor component arranged to be mounted to the sash window and a second window sensor component mounted to the body. The device includes a detent mechanism which acts with the positional arrangement of the sensors to provide a reliable system.

A gate latch assembly includes a first door mountable portion including a first body and carrying a pivotable latch bar that extends outward from a side of the first body, and a first handle part operatively connected to effect pivot of the latch bar when the first handle is rotated, a second door mountable portion including a second body and carrying a pivot bar, and a second handle part operatively connected to effect pivot of the pivot bar when the second handle is rotated. The gate latch assembly can be assembled in either a first configuration to permit rotation of the pivot bar away from its neutral position in only a first direction, or a second configuration to permit rotation of the pivot bar away from its neutral position in only a second direction that is opposite the first direction.

A power generating unit includes a mover moving in conjunction with the movable member and converts kinetic energy of the mover into electrical energy. As an operating member moves in such a direction that a first pressing portion comes closer toward a second holding portion while the movable member is located at a first position, a spring member is compressed by the first pressing portion and the second holding portion and generates restoring force that causes the movable member to move toward a second position. As the operating member moves in such a direction that the second pressing portion comes closer toward the first holding portion while the movable member is located at the second position, the spring member is compressed by the second pressing portion and the first holding portion and generates restoring force that causes the movable member to move toward the first position.

A vertically adjustable sash lock is described that improves the seal of windows. The vertically adjustable sash lock may include, for example, a housing configured to be coupled to a first window sash and a rotatable cam configured to rotatably engage with a keeper bracket coupled to a second window sash. A vertical member may be positioned through a threaded aperture of the rotatable cam. A knob coupled to the vertical member may drive a rotation of the vertical member, causing a vertical position of the rotatable cam relative to a bottom surface of the housing to adjust accordingly.
