A storage device 1 has a storage device body 2 and an opening and closing member 4, which are supported to be capable of pivoting about the center of opening and closing movement, the center being provided on one side. A lock mechanism 13 is provided on the other side of both the storage device body 2 and an opening 3. The lock mechanism 13 is provided with a lock member 16, an unlocking button 17, a cam mechanism 18, and a biasing member 19. The lock member 16 is a pivotable member 22 capable of pivoting about a lock pivot shaft 21. The opening and closing member 4 has a pressure receiving portion 52 on the inner surface side thereof, and the pressure receiving portion 52 is pushed out in an opening direction 23 by the lock member 16 which is caused to pivot in an unlocking direction.

An electronic lock for securing a door or access panel. The electronic lock includes a housing and a plunger that is moveably mounted to the housing between a latched position of the electronic lock and an unlatched position of the electronic lock. A rotator is rotatably mounted to the housing between an unlocked position and a locked position. In the locked position of the rotator, the plunger is prevented from moving to the unlatched position, and, in the unlocked position of the rotator, the plunger is permitted to move to the unlatched position. A motor has an output shaft that is configured to rotate the rotator between the locked position and the unlocked position. A spring is configured to resist movement of the output shaft between the locked position and the unlocked position.

A cover slides to protrude outward from a mounted position. At the same time, the cover may rotate to be opened, and thus a gap between the cover and an inlet portion on which the cover is mounted is minimized. The cover may be opened or closed easily and conveniently without degrading a sense of beauty and aesthetics at the portion on which the cover is mounted. The cover is caught and locked by a push latch. The cover may slide and rotate by being easily unlocked when being pressed by a hand. A user may easily and conveniently use the cover by a simple operation of pressing the cover. A sudden rotation of the cover is prevented using an elastic support member and a damper, and thus the cover can be conveniently used even while an occurrence of noise or collision between the cover and surroundings is prevented.

A vehicle with sensor enabled features includes a vehicle frame, a windshield movable between a lowered position and a raised position where the windshield is coupled to the vehicle frame, and a forward sensor assembly coupled to the vehicle frame and including a sensor module disposed within a protective housing assembly. The protective housing assembly defines an open end and includes a front cover configured to removably couple to the protective housing assembly to selectively cover the open end. When the windshield is in the raised position, the windshield covers the open end to facilitate protecting the sensor module. When the windshield is in the lowered position, the front cover is configured to cover the open end to facilitate protecting the sensor module.

Embodiments of a concealed, secure storage compartment include a concealed floorboard storage compartment for a front passenger side floorboard of a vehicle to provide a unitary floorboard containment shield sized to fit under the passenger side floormat and a hinged attachment plate securing the containment shield to the firewall portion of the passenger side floorboard padding. The containment shield provides an open bottom, a substantially planar top side surface upon which the bottom of the passenger side floormat rests, and internally reinforced sides affixed to the planar top side and its underside surface in the interior portion of the containment shield. An embodiment of the concealed, secure storage compartment provides a locking assembly securing the containment shield and floormat from being raised absent an unlocking key.
