12091891 · 2024-09-17 · ·

A domestic dishwashing machine includes a machine body having a dishwashing chamber formed therein, a door for closing the dishwashing chamber, which door is mounted on the machine body so as to be pivotable about a horizontal pivot axis close to the floor, and a door latch for holding the door closed, having a latch assembly installed in a body roof above the dishwashing chamber and includes a one-piece closing member arranged to be movable between an open position and a closed position, and a closing spring arrangement supported on the closing member and which, in the open position of the closing member, urges the closing member into blocking engagement with a blocking surface that prevents relaxation of the closing spring arrangement, and comes into gripping engagement with an engagement structure arranged on the door and pulls the door shut under the action of the relaxing closing spring arrangement.

Retractable security latch with striker

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a selectively operated safety latch having an active mode and a stowed mode. In an illustrative example, a retractable safety latch may include a tongue element extending in a first plane and a base element extending in a second plane. The tongue element, for example, may include multiple mode selection slots. The base element may include a brace slot. For example, one of the multiple mode selection slots and the brace slot may receive a security pin long a longitudinal axis so that a predetermined mode is selected. In the active mode, the tongue element extends away from the base element to releasably engage a striker element. In the inactive mode, the first plane and the second plane are substantially parallel such that the tongue element is prevented from engaging the striker element. Various embodiments may advantageously provide quick switching security latch operations.

Electronic device with locking assembly
