A magnetic latch for fastening a closure member to a support comprising a latch assembly and a keeper assembly. The latch assembly comprises: a frame (70); a latch bolt (14) moveable between a latching position and a retracted position along a horizontal direction; and a latch bolt operating mechanism configured to move the latch bolt from its latching position to its retracted position. The latch bolt moved into its latching position by magnetic attraction. The latch bolt operating mechanism comprises an operation lever (91) and a support lever (92) both of which have a first part pivotally connected to the frame and a second part connected to the latch bolt. The latch bolt is suspended by the operation lever and the support lever and is swingable between its latching position and its retracted position.

A quick release connecting device includes an actuating retainer and a fixing member movably assembled to the actuating retainer. The fixing member includes a pivot portion and a pivot member movably mounted to the pivot portion; and the pivot member is coupled with a second object. The fixing member includes a limiting section and the pivot member includes a corresponding limiting section, such that the limiting section and the corresponding limiting section limit or stop each other at a specific location when the fixing member is moved or rotated. With these arrangements, the quick release connecting device can be applied to conveniently and repeatedly connect and separate a circuit board, a drawer, or a window to and from a corresponding rack, chassis, cabinet or window frame.

A door lock device for a household appliance, including a support body which can be attached to a structural element of the household appliance, and a movable deadlock designed to cooperate with a receiving seat of a door of the household appliance; the movable deadlock having: a locking tooth connected to the support body for translation and rotation relative to the latter along a predetermined trajectory to cooperate by a first end with the receiving compartment; a rod carried in axially sliding manner by the support body and connected by means of an articulated device to a second end of the locking tooth; first elastic compression means operatively associated with the rod and configured to push the rod toward the locking tooth; and a control device comprising a movable element carried by the support body and operatively associated with the locking tooth, cooperating during use with the door to insert the locking tooth in the receiving seat.

An aircraft door lock having a bolt and a closure block, wherein the bolt is fastened in a movable manner to a door leaf structure and the closure block can at least partially receive the bolt. The closure block prevents any movement of the bolt in at least one direction, wherein the closure block is arranged on a portion of a hinge arm that overlaps the door leaf structure when the door leaf structure is in a closed position. Furthermore, an aircraft door having such an aircraft door lock, and an aircraft having such an aircraft door are described.

A latch assembly is provided where the latch is moveable to open and close a door by operation of a dead lock assembly that blocks or unblocks movement of a bolt. In a blocked state, a blocking cartridge of the dead lock assembly is prevented from inward movement, blocking inward movement of the bolt. Turning a door knob or door handle causes a spindle extending through the dead lock assembly to move locking bars of the dead locking assembly, the locking bars moving further apart to permit the blocking cartridge to slide there between and move inwardly into the latch housing. The bolt can now move inward by force of the doorjamb upon the bolt in order to clear the doorjamb when opening and closing the door.

An apparatus for engaging a locking mechanism having a first body, a second body, and two bolt assemblies. The first body having a longitudinal interior channel and recesses on each end. The second body having an interior channel. The bolt assemblies having first and second bolts, a connection member, and a tongue. The first bolt being insertable into the first body and slidable and rotatable therein. The second bolt being insertable into said second body and slidable therein. Engaging the lock by inserting the first bolt into the interior channel of the first body and the second bolt into the interior channel of the second body. The rotation of the bolt assemblies allows the user to align the second bolts with the channel of the second body. The tongue forms an interference fit with the recesses on the first body to hold the lock tightly in the locked position.
