The present disclosure provides for a securable pet door. The securable pet door may comprise at least one door, at least one knob, one or more windows, at least one frame, and/or at least one hinge. The knob may comprise a latch for secure closing. When the pet door comprises at least one hinge, the hinge(s) may be inserted into at least one hinge recess so that the door may be securely locked via at least one locking mechanism. The orientation of the one or more elements of the securable pet door may be predetermined, securable, or customizable. The door may open from, slide into, revolve within, or move in some other non-limiting equivalent way from or relative to the frame. The frame may comprise at least one sensor. When the frame comprises at least one sensor, the sensor(s) may interface with at least one external device, such as a computing device, to actuate the at least one locking mechanism from a remote location.

A safety gate has a gate body and two first locking units. The gate body has two first connecting elements. The two first locking units are respectively mounted on two opposite sides of a door frame. Each first locking unit has a second connecting element and a blocking element. When the safety gate is closed, each of the first connecting elements is connected with a respective one of the second connecting elements. Each blocking element has a blocking position for blocking a corresponding first connecting element to prevent the corresponding first connecting element from being disengaged from the second connecting element and a pressed position to allow-the corresponding first connecting element to detach from the second connecting element of the first locking unit.

A locking assembly for locking panels of a hinged panel assembly together. The hinged panel assembly has a second movable panel rotatably mounted to a first fixed panel by a hinge. The locking assembly is intended for selectively holding the second panel in position relative to the first panel in a folded configuration. The locking assembly includes a male assembly and a female assembly. The male assembly is configured to be rotatably mounted to the first panel, and has a tab rotationally fixed relative to a rotatable actuator, with the tab and the actuator configured to be disposed on opposing sides of the first panel. The female assembly is configured to be fixedly mounted to the second panel. The female assembly has a recess configured to receive the tab. The locking assembly is rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position.

A vehicle hood locking mechanism includes a housing and a hood lock having a locking portion positioned exterior of the housing. The hood lock is coupled to the housing such that the locking portion is rotatable with respect to the housing between a first rotational position and a second rotational position different from the first rotational position. Rotation of the locking portion to the first rotational position enables insertion of the locking portion through a shaped opening formed in the hood. Rotation of the locking portion to the second rotational position after insertion of the locking portion through the opening prevents withdrawal of the locking portion through the opening until the locking portion is rotated back to the first rotational position. This prevents the hood lock from being inadvertently detached from the raised hood, thereby maintaining the hood in the raised condition.

A vehicle hood locking mechanism includes a locking member including a helical portion structured to be insertable into a cavity formed in a vehicle hood. The helical portion is structured to be rotatable with respect to the hood so that contact between the hood and the helical portion during insertion of the helical portion into the cavity causes a rotation of the helical portion from a first rotational position to a second rotational position different from the first rotational position. The locking mechanism is also structured so that the helical portion is rotatable from the second rotational position back to the first rotational position when the helical portion becomes positioned inside the cavity.

An exemplary damper module is configured for use with a latchbolt assembly, and generally includes a mounting bracket, a first slowing mechanism, and a second slowing mechanism. The latchbolt assembly generally includes a drive member, a latchbolt, and a retractor connected between the drive member and the latchbolt. Each of the slowing mechanisms is independently operable to slow the extension speed of the latchbolt. The first slowing mechanism includes a rack gear and a rotary damper including a pinion gear. The rack gear is configured to be mounted to the drive member, and the rotary damper is mounted to the mounting bracket. The second slowing mechanism includes a slowing arm and a biasing member engaged with the slowing arm. The slowing arm is movably mounted to the mounting bracket and is configured to engage the retractor.

A latch for releasably locking a first object to a second object is disclosed. The latch includes: a housing, fixed to the first object; a locking member, accommodated in the housing and pivotable between a locked position and an unlocked position in respect to the housing along a lateral axis, when the locking member is located in the locked position, its locking portions are capable of extending from the housing, and when the locking member is in the unlocked position, its locking portions retract into the housing; an operating member, at least partially accommodated in the housing, the operating member is capable of performing a longitudinal movement between a first position and a second position in respect to the housing, and a direction of the longitudinal movement is substantially perpendicular to the lateral axis; wherein the operating member is coupled with the locking member, such that a movement of the operating member is capable of being converted into a pivoting movement of the locking member, when the operating member moves longitudinally forward from the first position to the second position, the locking member is pivoted from the locked position to the unlocked position. A locking structure is also disclosed.

A neonatal incubator system includes an enclosure having a series of side panels that create a chamber that receives an infant. At least one of the side panels includes a porthole having a porthole door that is movable between open and closed positions. A rotary latch is positioned to engage the porthole door to retain the porthole door in the closed position when the latch is in a latched position. The rotary latch is designed such movement of the rotary latch to an unlatched position creates physical separation between the porthole door and a sealing gasket or bumpers located between the porthole door and the side panel. The rotary latch is designed such that a control knob can be moved to a cleaning position in which the control knob is spaced from the side panel to expose a liquid gutter that is formed as part of a stationary base.

A hinged door with a latch described. The latch may be used to secure the door of a cabinet in a closed position. The door hingedly connects to the cabinet by a hinge. The latch includes a handle. The handle includes a pawl tip. The latch includes a base, and the handle rotates relative to the base. The handle is biased to a closed position by a spring or biasing member. The handle and the base are mounted to the door of the cabinet. A striker is mounted to a wall the cabinet. The striker includes a catch that is spaced from an interior side of a wall of the cabinet. The pawl tip of the handle lockingly engages with the catch of the striker to secure the door.

A remote safety release comprises an actuator (13) adapted to move between a inoperative position wherein it does not interact with the locking mechanism of a switch and at least one operative position wherein it interacts with the locking mechanism, a remote control device (14) adapted to promote the movement of the actuator from the inoperative position to an operative position, a transfer mechanism (15) adapted to transfer a force from the remote control device (14) to the actuator (13) following the command given by the operator to promote the movement of the actuator (13) and adapted to exert a first solicitation on the actuator (13) to promote its automatic passage from the inoperative position to an operative position, while the remote control device (14) constantly exerts on the actuator (13) a second contrast solicitation opposite to the first solicitation and having at least equal value.
