An aircraft cabin door system has a cabin door having an outer side and an inner side, a drive device coupled to the cabin door for moving the cabin door into an open position, a first actuation device, a second actuation device, and an emergency chute unit coupled to the cabin door and having an emergency chute and an actuation mechanism. The emergency chute unit can be moved into an active state, in which opening the cabin door leads to activation of the emergency chute, and an inactive state, in which opening the cabin door does not lead to activation of the emergency chute. The emergency chute unit is in the inactive state when the cabin door is opened after actuation of the first actuation device. The emergency chute unit is in the active state when the cabin door is opened after actuation of the second actuation device.

A spring assembly for a handle set assembly includes a housing and a gear rotatably positioned within the housing. The gear has a default position and at least one actuated rotated position. The spring assembly includes at least one rack positioned within the housing. The at least one rack is movable in a rack displacement direction that is normal to the axis of rotation of the gear in response to rotation of the gear between a neutral position and a displaced position. The spring assembly includes a slider positioned at a first end of the at least one rack, the slider being slidable along the rack displacement direction. The spring assembly includes at least one spring captured between the housing and slider. The at least one spring is positioned to apply a spring force to the at least one rack toward the neutral position when the at least one rack is in the displaced position.

A door lock illumination device connected to a door, the door lock illumination device including a main body, a key hole disposed on at least a portion of the main body to receive a key therein, and an illumination unit disposed within at least a portion of the main body to illuminate in response to the key hole receiving the key.

A handle-locking mechanism for a door comprises a sliding bar, a locking member and a rotatable member all inside a lock body, wherein the rotary motion of the rotatable member drives an upper latch and a lower latch to a locking position and unlocking position; the sliding bar is slidably arranged inside the lock body and one end of the sliding bar abuts against the bolt, and the sliding bar is provided with a first elastic element, and the sliding bar is pushed against the elastic force from the first elastic element when the bolt retracts; the locking member is coupled with the sliding bar, and when the bolt stretches out, the locking member is brought by the sliding bar to a position to block the rotary motion of the rotatable member.

A locking apparatus for a pet cage is disclosed. The locking apparatus comprises a turntable rotatable about a central axis of rotation; at least one elongate metal lock bar, where elongate metal lock bar is configured to extend along a radial line originating from the axis of rotation of the turntable and a connecting member for operably connecting the elongate metal lock bar and the turntable. The connecting member comprises a forwardly extending portion for receiving a front section of the elongate metal lock bar and fixing a retained end of the elongate metal lock bar to the connecting member and a rearward extending portion which extends parallel with and is outwardly offset from the forwardly extending portion. The connecting member also includes a linear conversion mechanism arranged between the turntable and the rearward extending portion of the connecting member; the linear conversion mechanism configured to convert rotation of the turntable about the axis of rotation to linear movement of the connecting member in the same direction as a longitudinal direction of the elongate metal lock bar.

A door lock illumination device connected to a door, the door lock illumination device including a main body, a key hole disposed on at least a portion of the main body to receive a key therein, and an illumination unit disposed within at least a portion of the main body to illuminate in response to the key hole receiving the key.

A handle assembly for an aircraft door includes a shaft to open the door, an exterior handle deployable between a stowed position and a deployed position, and a clutch having a driving member coupled to the exterior handle and a driven member coupled to the shaft. The clutch is configurable between a disengaged configuration in which the driving member and the driven member are disengaged, and an engaged configuration in which the driving member and the driven member are engaged so that actuation of the exterior handle rotates the shaft to open the door. Rotation of the exterior handle between the stowed position and the deployed position drives an axial movement of the driving member toward the driven member to configure the clutch to the engaged configuration.

Gate fastening devices and methods of installing the gate fastening devices.

An example lockset generally includes a housing, a bolt, a turnhub, and a spindle. The bolt is mounted in the housing for movement between an extended position and a retracted position. The turnhub is rotatably mounted in the housing and engaged with the bolt. Rotation of the turnhub in a bolt-extending direction drives the bolt toward the extended position, and rotation of the turnhub in a bolt-retracting direction opposite the bolt-extending direction drives the bolt toward the retracted position. The spindle engaged with the turnhub, is operable to exert torque on the turnhub in the bolt-retracting direction, and is selectively operable to exert torque on the turnhub in the bolt-extending direction. The housing includes a pair of stops configured to limit rotation of the spindle to a predetermined angular range.

An accessory door handle can be clamped onto an existing door handle currently installed in the door. The accessory door handle can be dedicated for use when an individual is wearing gloves, so that the existing door handle may be reserved for use when not wearing a glove. This decreases the chances of contamination and makes the handles easier to clean. The accessory door handle is suitable for use in laboratory and clean room conditions.
