MOTOR VEHICLE LOCK
A motor vehicle lock comprising a locking mechanism with a rotary latch and at least one pawl, wherein the locking mechanism parts are rotatably mounted on a stationary supporting body and wherein the supporting body forms a stop surface for at least one locking mechanism part, and the supporting body has at least in some sections a convex bearing surface for the locking mechanism part.
ROLLER TONGUE
A roller tongue (1) for a locking system includes a spindle, which is securable to the locking system, and a roller (2) rotatably mounted on the spindle. The spindle is formed as a multi-part element and includes a pin (3) and an adapter element (4). The adapter element (4) includes a receiver (5) for the pin (3) arranged eccentrically in the adapter element (4) and is fixable in different orientations onto the pin (3).
ELECTRONIC HANDLE FOR A VEHICLE DOOR
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.
SMART LATCH
A latch assembly for a motor vehicle includes a latch mechanism, a power-operated latch release mechanism, and an over-center spring-biased reset mechanism. The power-operated latch release mechanism is operable during a power release operation to shift the reset mechanism from a first over-center operating state into a second over-center operating state.
RAILROAD CAR LUBRICANT FREE DOOR LOCK
A railroad car door lock which eliminates the need for lubrication and which includes a bracket, a first base attached to the bracket, a second base attached to the bracket, aligned first and second apertures in the first and second bases for slidably receiving a locking pin, a replaceable first locking pin wear protector lockably insertable in and selectively removable from the first base to prevent contact between the locking pin and the inner edge of the first base which defines the first aperture, and a replaceable second locking pin wear protector lockably insertable in and selectively removable from the second base to prevent contact between the locking pin and the inner edge of the second base which defines the second aperture.
FLEXIBLE DOOR LATCH STRIKE
The present disclosure relates to a door strike. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a door strike comprising a base plate, and a strike tongue, wherein the strike tongue comprises a flexible material.
CYLINDRICAL LATCH BOLT ASSEMBLY HAVING BEVELED BLOCKING SURFACE
A lockset (10) is actuable by pivoting a lever (14) about a longitudinal axis of the lockset (10) by rotating the lever (14) and by pushing or pulling on the lever (14). An actuator linked to the lever extends into a retractor assembly (33) of the lockset and is configured to actuate a retractor (40) to retract a latch bolt (550) in order to enable a corresponding door (22) to be opened. The latch bolt (550) has a blocking surface (560) that is configured to engage an edge of a door strike plate (45) in order to prevent the door (22) from opening. The blocking surface (560) is inclined relative to an axis of the latch bolt (550).
Handle-actuated sliding door lock actuation assemblies
A lock actuation assembly includes an escutcheon and a handle having a first end pivotably connected to the escutcheon at an interface. A link arm is pivotably mounted in the escutcheon and also comprises a first end. A projection is engaged with the first end of the handle and the first end of the link arm. A cam located in the escutcheon is rotatably engaged with a second end of the link arm. The cam includes a tailpiece adapted for engagement with a locking mechanism.
Railroad car lubricant free door lock
A railroad car door lock which eliminates the need for lubrication and which includes a bracket, a first base attached to the bracket, a second base attached to the bracket, aligned first and second apertures in the first and second bases for slidably receiving a locking pin, a replaceable first locking pin wear protector lockably insertable in and selectively removable from the first base to prevent contact between the locking pin and the inner edge of the first base which defines the first aperture, and a replaceable second locking pin wear protector lockably insertable in and selectively removable from the second base to prevent contact between the locking pin and the inner edge of the second base which defines the second aperture.
Magnetic latch for fastening a hinged closure member to a support
A magnetic latch for fastening a closure member to a support comprising a latch assembly and a keeper assembly. The latch assembly comprises: a frame (70); a latch bolt (14) moveable between a latching position and a retracted position along a horizontal direction; and a latch bolt operating mechanism configured to move the latch bolt from its latching position to its retracted position. The latch bolt moved into its latching position by magnetic attraction. The latch bolt operating mechanism comprises an operation lever (91) and a support lever (92) both of which have a first part pivotally connected to the frame and a second part connected to the latch bolt. The latch bolt is suspended by the operation lever and the support lever and is swingable between its latching position and its retracted position.
