A handle apparatus for a vehicle includes a support member, a bell crank rotatable between an initial position and an operation position and causing the lock apparatus to be in a latched state and in an unlatched state, and a handle including a pressing portion. In a state where the pressing portion is in contact with a pressed portion provided at the bell crank, the handle causes, via the pressed portion and the pressing portion, the bell crank to rotate between the initial position and the operation position when the handle rotates. The apparatus includes a temporary hold member supported by the bell crank in such a manner that the temporary hold member is slidable between a first position and a second position, and the temporary hold member includes an engagement portion configured to engage with and disengage from an engaging portion provided at the support member.

The present disclosure is directed to a lock assembly comprising an inner housing positionable on one side of a movable structure such as a door and an outer housing positionable on an opposing side of the structure. A pocket connection region having an aperture formed through a wall of the inner housing is configured to receive a head of a fastener therethrough. After the fastener extends through the aperture, a clamp device may be moved from an open position to a closed position so as to releasably lock the fastener to the pocket connection region of the inner housing. In another form, a retainer is configured to hold the fastener with respect to the inner housing during installation of the lock assembly. In this manner an inner housing may be quickly connected to an outer housing when installing a lock assembly to the structure.

A double door assembly bottom restraining device and method provide stability to the double door assembly during manufacturing and shipping. The double door assembly bottom restraining device may be installed on the bottom of a double door assembly.

A rotating cylinder applied to a lock is disclosed. The rotating cylinder is configured to guide a transmission element of the lock and defining a central axis. The rotating cylinder includes an opening, an inner wall, a first guiding structure, a second guiding structure and an engaging groove. The inner wall is communicated with the opening. The first guiding structure is formed on the inner wall and includes a first curved surface. The second guiding structure is formed on the inner wall and opposite to the first guiding structure. The second guiding structure includes a first curved surface. The engaging groove is formed between the first guiding structure and the second guiding structure. The first curved surface of the first guiding structure and the first curved surface of the second guiding structure are closer to the opening than the engaging groove.

Disclosed is a latch assembly mountable to a structure including a latch, remote actuating unit, and a guide. The guide is adapted to facilitate installation of the latch assembly. The guide is formed separately to the latch and the remote actuating unit. The guide is mounted with one of the latch or remote actuating unit on installation of the assembly on the structure.

An arrangement for tipping over prevention of a furniture (1) such as a chest of drawers or a cabinet comprising at least one drawer. The arrangement comprises a bar (300) and an attachment adapted to anchor the furniture (1) to a wall (W). The attachment comprises a guiding bracket (100) and an anchoring bracket (200) adapted to be movable between a first position and a second position in view of the guiding bracket (100). The anchoring bracket (200) has an anchoring portion (206) adapted to anchor the furniture (1) to a wall (W). The bar (300) is movable between a restriction position and a clearance position when acted upon by the anchoring bracket (200). When the anchoring bracket (200) is moved from the first position to the second position a wedge shaped support member (204) forces a projection (302) of the bar (300) to move along the wedge shaped support member (204) thereby moving the bar (300) from the restriction position to the clearance position, in which clearance position the drawer (4) is allowed to be pushed or pulled past a stop member (301) of the bar (300).
