A window vent stop for use in a sliding sash window or a sliding sash door assembly. The vent stop includes a housing and a tumbler. The housing is adapted to be disposed in a recess in a rail or stile of the window/door. This housing includes a cavity with a bottom wall therein. The tumbler has at least one pivot for pivotally securing the tumbler to the housing for movement between an extended position, to prevent movement of the sliding member, and a retracted position, to allow movement of the sliding member. The tumbler is formed with a protruding spring member for selectively biasing the tumbler. The housing has one or more flexible members extending from each of its end walls to secure the housing within the opening in the sash member.

A lock includes a housing assembly, an actuatable lock assembly and a latching assembly. The actuatable lock assembly is positionable in at least a closed orientation and an open orientation. The latching assembly further includes a latch, a cam and a motor. The latch, having a cam profile, is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the actuatable lock assembly is maintained in the closed orientation. In the unlocked position, the actuatable lock assembly is positionable into an open orientation. The cam is rotatably mounted and has a first follower configured to intermittently coact with the cam profile of the latch, to, in turn, move the latch between the locked position and the unlocked position. The motor is coupled to the cam. Actuation of the motor causes rotation of the cam, resulting in movement of the latch between the locked and unlocked positions.

The present disclosure relates to a handle for a vehicle door having an activation lever configured for rotating around an activation axis from a rest position to an activation position for activating a latch of the vehicle door, and a bracket intended to receive the activation lever. One of the activation lever and the bracket comprises a driving element, and the other comprises a stop element, the driving element cooperating with the stop element such that when the activation lever is actuated from the rest position to the activation position, the driving element passes from a first side of the stop element corresponding to an initial position, to a second side corresponding to a final position, when the activation lever comes back from the activation position to the rest position, the driving element and the stop element cooperates to make the activation lever come back in the initial position.

The invention relates to a laboratory cabinet device for storing laboratory samples with a magnetic closure for the door. It in particular relates to a tempering cabinet for tempering laboratory samples, in particular, an incubator for the growth of cell cultures.

A motor vehicle lock, in particular for a vehicle rear door, having a lock cover and a locking mechanism consisting essentially of a rotary latch and at least one pawl, also comprising at least one coupling element, and at least one electric drive, wherein the coupling element can assume different positions, and the coupling element interacts with a drive element of the drive and a central locking mechanism, wherein the coupling element is connected to the drive element in order to take up its positions.

A removable panel module, separably connecting a host casing, includes a panel; a rod capable of sliding with respect to the panel, the rod having a first end and a second end; a press module disposed at the first end of the rod, the press module including a first locking element fastened to the rod and separably connecting the host casing at the first end; and an operating module disposed at the second end of the rod, the operating module including a second locking element slidingly disposed at the panel and separably connecting the host casing at the second end. When the press module is activated, the first locking element and the second locking element move in opposite directions to separate the panel from the host casing.

An anti-torsion door lock includes a lock body having an outer chassis. An outer locking plate includes a threaded hole in threading connection with the outer chassis. The outer locking plate further includes two installation holes and at least one coupling hole which are disposed around the threaded hole. Two installation pegs are coupled with the two installation holes and are coupled to a door, preventing rotation of the outer locking plate relative to the door. An anti-torsion member is mounted around the outer chassis and includes at least one lug engaged with the at least one coupling hole of the outer locking plate, such that the anti-torsion member is not pivotable relative to the outer locking plate. The anti-torsion member is non-rotatably mounted to the outer chassis, preventing the lock body from pivoting relative to the door.

A motor vehicle lock, more particularly for a vehicle rear door, having a lock cover and a locking mechanism consisting of substantially rotary latches and at least one pawl, furthermore having at least one coupling lever, and at least one electric drive, wherein the coupling lever can take up different positions and interacts with a drive element of the drive and a central locking mechanism, wherein, to take up its positions, the coupling lever is connected to the drive element. The drive element and/or lock cover have/has a latching contour having at least two position holders wherein at least one position holder is designed asymmetrically and a spring mechanism is provided, wherein the spring mechanism cooperates with the latching contour, as a result of which the coupling lever can be positioned in the different positions.

Some embodiments include a lock cylinder comprising: a plug assembly having a front portion and a back portion; a housing shell within which the plug assembly is rotatably disposed, wherein the housing shell includes a notch; wherein the back portion of the plug assembly comprises: a locking pin that is movably disposed, and wherein the locking pin is configured to prevent a rotation of the plug assembly when the locking pin is engaged in the notch and prevented from retracting by a multi-stable mechanism; and the multi-stable mechanism having at least two stable configurations corresponding to respectively to a locked state and an unlocked state, wherein the multi-stable mechanism can maintain the stable configurations without consuming energy; wherein, at a first stable configuration, the multi-stable mechanism prevents the locking pin from retracting, and, at a second stable configuration, the multi-stable mechanism enables the locking pin to retract.

A latching mechanism can secure one or more moveable members in a cabinet. The latching mechanism includes a support having a back plate mounted to the moveable member and having an opening extending therethrough, an end cap attached to the support and having a mating stem that extends into the support, and a latch having a leading end that extends through the opening in the back plate and a trailing end having a mating bore that is sized to receive the mating stem of the end cap. The mating bore of the latch defines a pivotal axis. The latch is configured to pivot along the pivotal axis between an open position in which the moveable member is moveable in the cabinet and a closed position in which the latch prevents the moveable member from moving away from the cabinet. A locking mechanism for this type of cabinet is also provided.
