In a work vehicle of the present invention, a load carrying bed includes a floor panel, a pair of left and right side panels, and a rear gate which is openable and closable. The rear gate includes left and right lock operational portions for maintaining the rear gate under a closing posture through engagement with locking engagement portions formed in the left and right side panels, a single handle disposed at an intermediate position in the left/right direction of the rear gate and supported to be pivotable about a horizontally oriented operational axis X, and left and right operational wires for operating left and right locking members in a direction for pulling these locking members out of the locking engagement portions by an operation of the handle about the operational axis X.

The present application prevents an engaging pin or a catcher pin from damaging an upper surface of a side sill or a lower surface of a side door when the door is closed, and reduces a height of the side sill over which an occupant steps when getting into a vehicle. A vehicle side structure includes an engaging portion that is at least partially provided between a lower part of a side door and a side sill and provides engagement between the lower part and the side sill. The engaging portion includes an engaging pin provided to protrude from an upper surface of the side sill, and a catcher pin that is provided in the lower part of the side door, receives the engaging pin brought into a space above the lower part of the side door, and engages a tip of the engaging pin.

The invention relates to a sliding security gate inside a pocket attached to an interior pre-hung hinged door. These pocket sliding security gates can be assembled inside any doorway opening of one's home for the protection of babies, toddlers, pets, and disabled elderly. On one hand, the Pre-Hung Hinged Door and Pocket Sliding Security Gate can be used as a dual functioned component that can be used in a normal setting to provide privacy; on the other hand, the Pre-Hung Hinged Door and Pocket Sliding Security Gate can be used as a half door that is assembled as a pocket sliding security gate to provide safety and security to the vulnerable population listed above. In addition, this pocket sliding security gate also has an alarm attached to the security gate so that when it opens, the alarm sounds to let the gatekeeper know that the security has been breached.

Narrow backset auto-latching mortise lock for sliding door is a mortise lock that is fully contained within a 1.5 inch wide casing or housing that includes actuated automatic latching and automatic unlatching mechanism. Narrow backset auto-latching mortise lock for sliding door is a mortise lock that properly fits a narrow backset sliding door with a backset dimension of 1.25 inches. The design of narrow backset auto-latching mortise lock for sliding door has been elongated so that the latch or bolt is moved downwards and positioned below the lever hub. The positioning of the latch or bolt at a location below the lever hub requires special linkage and mechanical components in order to make the mortise lock function properly. This design required all new lock components, including a new latch lever with a dual hub arm, a dual latch arm, and a dual latch arm pin.

The invention relates to a sliding security gate inside a framed pocket unit. These Pocket Sliding Security Gates can be assembled and installed inside of the wall and positioned to close off rooms, hallways, and/or stairs for the protection of babies and toddlers, pets, and the disabled elderly. The Pocket Sliding Security Gate can be placed during construction where it can close across openings or hallways at the top or bottom of the stairs to provide safety and security to the vulnerable population listed above. In addition, this Pocket Sliding Security Gate also has an alarm attached to the end of the security gate so that when it opens, the alarm sounds to let the gatekeeper know that the security has been compromised.

An aircraft trolley retention device may include a retention latch with a shaft including a first component of an interlocking assembly and a sleeve including a second component of the interlocking assembly and configured to receive the shaft, and an interlocking assembly. The retention latch may be configured to actuate between a closed position and an open position. The interlocking assembly may be configured to guide the retention latch during the actuation between the closed position and the open position. The retention latch may be configured to retain an aircraft trolley within an aircraft trolley bay when the retention latch is in the closed position. A portion of the retention latch may be configured to be positioned in front of a striker plate corresponding to a handle of an aircraft trolley bay door of the aircraft trolley bay when the retention latch is in the open position.

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 action5 of the relaxing closing spring arrangement.

Fenestration lock assemblies, fenestration units including the lock assemblies, and methods of operating the lock assemblies. The lock assemblies offer a lock assembly construction that is capable of being assembled, installed, and used in a purely manual mode (i.e., in the absence of any driving unit such as, e.g., a motor, solenoid, etc.) or that may be assembled, installed, and used with a driving unit such that the lock assembly can be operated manually or in a driven mode, with the manual and driven modes of operation being unaffected by each other.

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 door latch assembly, includes: a catch support assembly, the catch support assembly including a strike body having a pin receiving aperture therein; a catch arm assembly rotatably mounted to the catch support assembly; a latch pin positioned in the pin receiving aperture and movable between a retracted position and an extended position, the latch pin protruding above the strike body in the extended position to impede rotational movement of the catch arm assembly; and a first roller mounted to the catch arm assembly and configured to engage a first side of the latch pin in the extended position; and a second roller mounted to the catch support assembly and configured to engage a second side of the latch pin in the extended position. The latch pin includes a material having a hardness of 60 Rockwell C or more, the first roller includes a material having a hardness of 33 Rockwell C or less, and the second roller includes a material having a hardness of 60 Rockwell C or more.
