A device for locking a pivotal protective device, such as a safety bracket or a weather protection hood, of a chair for a chairlift. The device has interacting projections, one of which is connected to a frame of the chair and the other of which is connected to the protective device. At least one of the projections is resiliently mounted, and the projections are equipped with sliding surfaces which produce a deformation of the resilient bracket after a defined force has been applied to the safety bracket and allow the projections to slide past one another in both directions.

An apparatus (100), including: a housing (106); female threads (138) recessed into a bottom end of the housing; a through-slot (162) oriented to transverse to a longitudinal extent (908) of the housing; and an adjustment mechanism (176) configured such that adjustment of the adjustment mechanism adjusts an amount of occlusion of the through-slot.

A lock assembly is provided for use with a dispenser comprising a housing having an interior volume for holding a dispensable product, the housing having an openable part for providing an access to the interior of the housing. The lock assembly comprises a lock housing, an operation mode insert portion, a lock cylinder comprising a lock cylinder base and a bore adapted to receive the operation mode insert portion, a latch connected to the lock cylinder base operable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration, and a resilient member biasing the latch towards the locked configuration. The operation mode insert portion is configured to form a releasable connection with the lock cylinder base and the releasable connection is accessible at the lock cylinder base to allow release of the connection and removal of the operation mode insert portion from the lock cylinder.

An aircraft cowl arrangement may comprise a first half, and a second half rotatable between an open position and a closed position, a first seal coupled to the first half, a second seal coupled to the second half, and a latch arrangement for preventing relative movement between the first half and the second half. The latch arrangement may comprise a tie rod comprising a first end coupled to the first half, a second end, and a frame having an opening for receiving the second end of the tie rod, a latch handle rotatably mounted to the frame, and a hook operably coupled to the latch handle, wherein the latch handle is configured to move between a first position wherein the hook is engaged with the second end of the tie rod and a second position wherein the hook is disengaged from the second end of the tie rod.

Provided is a console box capable of reducing a sound generated in the event of abutment between abutting sections with a simple configuration.

Console box 10 includes box 12 and lid 13 opening and closing at least a part of box 12. Lid 13 includes lid body main body 21 movable with respect to box 12 and locking section 22 movable with respect to lid body main body 21 and locking lid 13 to box 12. At least one of box 12 and lid body main body 21 has abutting section 28. Locking section 22 has abutting section 43 abutting against abutting section 28 when lid 13 is locked to box 12. At least one of abutting section 28 and abutting section 43 is a deformation section absorbing an impact by being deformed at least in part by abutting against the other.

In an illustrative embodiment, an upper monument attachment system is provided for retaining aircraft monuments, the system including a first support, a second support, and a joiner connecting a first end of the first support and a first end of the second support, a stay having a first end pivotably connected to the joiner, a tie rod configured to connect the joiner to an attachment point of the aircraft, a first rail having a first base configured to connect to an upper surface of the monument and a first facing configured to connect to the first support and the second support, and a second rail having a second base configured to connect to the upper surface of the monument and a second facing configured to connect to a second end of the stay.

A latch assembly includes a forkbolt biased to rotate in a first direction about a first pivot point, and a detent biased to rotate in a second direction about a second pivot point, the detent configured to engage with the forkbolt in at least two different positions. The latch assembly further includes a tertiary catch biased to rotate in the first direction. The detent is configured to engage a portion of the tertiary catch and rotate the tertiary catch when the detent is rotated in the first direction.

A damped closure mechanism is provided for controlling movement of a first member relative to a second member, for example the door (12) of an oven (11). The mechanism comprises a housing (14) having a main spring which is engagable with the oven door (12) for urging it towards its closed position and a damper (25) for providing damped resistance to this closing movement. The mechanism further comprises a second spring (29) which is also engagable with the oven door (12) for urging it towards its closed position. The second spring (29) is arranged to act in parallel with the main spring (24), and serves to hold the door (12) shut with spring force.

A system for mounting an aircraft monument partition to an aircraft cabin surface such as a floor may include a mounting structure fitted within and attached to a floor-abutting edge of the monument partition, the mounting structure including a mounting opening. A securement apparatus for securing the monument partition to cabin surface via the mounting structure may include a threaded fastener for extending through the mounting opening of the mounting structure and through a corresponding opening in a track mounted to the cabin surface, and a bridging washer for mating with the mounting opening; where, to secure the monument partition to the floor of the cabin area, the threaded fastener is provided through the mounting opening of the mounting structure and threaded to a mating fixture on a bottom side of the track.

A lock assembly comprising: a hand-operable member configured to move laterally relative to a fore-end of the lock assembly; wherein lateral movement of the hand-operable member causes the lock assembly to move between a locked mode and an unlocked mode. A lock assembly comprising: a latch, the latch configured to move rotationally relative to the lock assembly; and a hand-operable member configured to move laterally relative to a fore-end of the lock assembly; wherein the hand-operable member is coupled to the latch such that lateral movement of the hand-operable member drives rotational movement of the latch. Methods of installing a lock assembly, comprising setting a hub of a lock assembly to one of a first unlocked position, a first locked position, a second unlocked position, a second locked position, or a deadlocked position, and installing a cylinder lock for engagement with the hub.
