A locking device for a container having a hinged lid, comprises a base unit adapted to be fixed to the container and a pivotable unit mounted to the base unit and pivotally movable between open and closed positions. The base unit includes a locking mechanism comprising a casing, a rotatable shaft, a blocking member fixed to the shaft and disposed in the casing, and a rolling member. The pivotable unit is mounted to the shaft of the base unit. The rolling member is provided to move within the casing between a blocking position wherein the rolling member blocks movement of the pivotable unit relative to the casing to prevent unauthorized opening of the lid, and a release position wherein the rolling member moves away from the blocking member to permit the movement of the blocking member relative to the casing thereby permitting opening of the lid.

A device may limit opening of a sash hingedly coupled to a master frame, and includes: a bracket attached to the sash; a first arm having a first end pivotally coupled to the bracket; a second arm having a first end pivotally coupled to the first arm's second end; means for biasing the second arm into a retracted position; and a release assembly. The release assembly is secured to the master frame and includes a hook pivotable between a first position and a second position, which, in the first position, may be releasably received in an opening in the second end of the second arm when the second arm is in the retracted position, as the sash is closed and received within the master window frame The second arm is disengaged from the hook, permitting full opening of the sash, when the hook is pivoted into the second position.

A lock structure suitable for various lock cores includes an engagement arranged at one side of a lock core axle of a lock device. The engagement member includes a rod section such that the engagement member is coupled to a link bar. A handle axle includes an arrestor member, such that the arrestor member is coupled to a stop plate and a push bar. A retention member is arranged under the push bar. When the lock core axle is rotated by means of a key, the engagement member and the link bar are driven to achieve locking, or a handle is operated to achieve unlocking. When the lock core is damaged, the damaged lock core is replaceable with one of various types of lock core without the need to replace the entire lock thereby improving the utilization of the lock.

A safety device for detection of a securely closed door of a drum of a washing machine comprises a control unit, at least one electronical sensor interconnected to the control unit, at least one magnetic unit, and at least one lock of the door of the drum of the washing machine, where the safety device further comprises a pivotable lever (7) provided by rotary axis, where at least one magnetic unit (2) is arranged on its one end, and at least one lock (3) of the door of the drum (4) of the washing machine is arranged on its another end, a slipper guide (8) intended to guide the magnetic unit (2) and/or the lever (7), where the slipper guide (8) is provided by at least one blocking protrusion (8a, 8b), which is intended to hold the lever (7) in closed position.

A handle return assembly removably attachable to an escutcheon. The removably attachable assembly may include a housing to be attached to the escutcheon and a hub rotatably disposed within the housing for operably connecting an operating handle to a drive spindle. A torsion spring may bias the hub toward an initial position. At least one stopper plate may interact with the cartridge housing for limiting rotational motion of the hub relative to the housing. Selectively positioning the stopper plate and the spring relative to the housing provides the assembly with the ability to provide a right-handed operation and a left-handed operation.

A number of variations may include a product including a retainer for holding a hood in a partially open position and for releasing the hood to permit full opening movement.

A mount for mounting a door to rack includes a rack including a first pair of vertically-extending supports, each support including an array of openings; a first mount coupled to the rack at a first position thereon, the first mount including: a first plate extending between the first pair of vertically-extending supports and including a first end and a second end, and a first hinge arm adjustably coupled with the first plate; a second mount coupled to the rack at a second position located below the first position, the second mount including: a second plate extending between the first pair of vertically-extending supports and including a first end and a second end, and a second hinge arm adjustably coupled with the second plate.
