The present application relates to a handle arrangement (1) for a door (10), comprising a handle (2) and a locking clamp (3) for engaging a locking element on a door frame (70). The locking clamp is arranged to rotate around a first axis (A) from a locking to an intermediate position and to move linearly along a second axis (B) from the intermediate to an open position, when the handle is moved between a closed, intermediate, and open state. The arrangement comprises a resilient means (8) arranged to keep the locking clamp from moving from the intermediate position towards the open position until a force applied in the direction of the linear movement of the locking clamp towards the open position exceeds a resilient force of the resilient means. With this arrangement, a handle arrangement which may be opened in several steps is provided such that the opening of a door may be performed in a controlled manner.

A container having a base and a lid is provided. The lid may be rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration and may be secured, via one or more latching assemblies. The latching assembly may comprise a latch body, a locking member, a biasing member, and an activating member. Additional features of the container may include handles and strength increasing features. The base and lid may also feature attachment points for various accessories.

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.

The present invention relates to a door lock system (10) for an appliance, in particular for a domestic appliance, preferably for a cooking oven. The door lock system (10) comprises a hook element (14) pivotable around a pivot axis between an unlocked released state and a locked released state and movable along a main axis perpendicular to said pivot axis between the locked released state and locked pulled state. The door lock system (10) comprises a first sliding member (18) movable along the main axis and provided for pivoting the hook element (14) to the locked released state. The door lock system (10) comprises at least one further sliding member (20, 22) movable along the main axis and provided for pulling the hook element (14) to the locked pulled state.

The present invention relates to a door-lock device (1) for an household appliance, such as a washing machine, a dishwasher and the like, having a door provided with a prong (P), wherein said door-lock device (1) comprises a containment casing (2), a blocking assembly (4), arranged in said containment envelope (2), and having a hook (44), intended to engage with the prong (P) when the household appliance door is closed, wherein said hook (44) is configured to translate when engaging with said prong (P), characterized in that said blocking assembly (4) comprises at least one or more rolling members (46, 47), associated to said hook (44) and arranged to roll so as to allow translational motion of said hook (44).

The present invention also relates to a household appliance, such as a washing machine, a dishwasher and the like.

A vehicle includes a compartment mounted to a frame of the vehicle. The compartment includes a box coupled to the frame in a fixed position relative to the frame and a latch system coupled to the box to allow a user to access the box. The latch system includes a shape-memory alloy wire guided by a pulley during actuation of the latch system.
