SASH LOCK CAPABLE OF BI-DIRECTIONAL ENGAGEMENT
A sash lock for a sash window assembly is disclosed. The sash window assembly includes an upper sash window and a lower sash window. Each of the sash windows is mounted within opposed guide rails on a master frame. At least one of the sash windows is slidable within the frame relative to the other sash window. The sash lock comprises either a keeper, with a keeper opening, for mounting on a rail of one of the sash windows or a recess in the lower rail of the upper sash. The sash lock disclosed herein includes a housing having a hole, an actuator arm, and a cam having a cam element for receipt into the keeper opening or the recess. The locking assembly also includes a shaft extending through the housing hole and operably coupling the actuator arm to the cam.
Door Security Device
A door security device can include a door member mounted to a swinging door, and a connector. The door member can include a slot having openings in at least one end and in an outer face. An end of a first leg of the connector can have a shape configured to mate with the first slot to permit the first leg to slide into the first slot such that the first leg extends out of the first slot through an opening in the outer face of the door member and such that a distal end of the second leg interferes with a surface of a door frame to prevent rotation of the swinging door relative to the door frame.
CABLE OPERATED MECHANICAL LOCKING EXTERNAL DISCONNECT ENCLOSURE
A cable operated mechanical locking external disconnect enclosure for multi-point latch uses. The enclosures provide safety, in that, once the main enclosure door is closed, and the disconnect is turned on, the main enclosure is locked and only automatically unlocks when the disconnect is turned off. Thus, the door of the disconnect enclosure is locked when the disconnect or circuit breakers are turned to the on position. There is also a manual by-pass latch for each door.
Door security device
A device can include a door member mounted to a swinging door, a connector, and a fastener. The door member can include a slot open at the top and bottom and an outer face. A bore through the door member can align with a bottom of the slot. A first end of the connector can slide into the top of the slot so a first leg extends through the outer face and a second leg overlaps the soffit. When a fastener is in a first position, the fastener can extend through a bore in the door member and support the connector in the slot and block the connector from exiting the slot through the bottom. When the fastener is in a second position, the fastener does not block the slot and the connector is permitted to drop out of the slot through the bottom.
TWO-PIECE DOOR AND INSTALLATION SYSTEM
A two-piece door kit comprises frame members comprising two or more components that can be connected with one or more connectors, a bottom panel that can be movably attached to the frame members, a top panel that can be movably attached to the frame members. Prior to assembly, the two-piece door kit may be packaged compactly in a carton in which the total of the carton length plus twice the carton width plus twice the carton thickness is less than or equal to 165 inches.
Detachable Device for Inhibiting Air Leaks Between Sliding Panels
A panel fastening device that is configured to move together a first frame of a first panel unit having a first glass panel mounted within the first frame and a second frame of a second panel unit having a second glass panel mounted within the second frame. The device includes a suction cup is configured to be coupled to and released from the first glass panel of the first panel unit, and a structure is configured to be pressed against and released from the second frame of the second panel unit.
REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator includes a cabinet that defines a storage chamber, an upper door that is configured to open and close an upper portion of the storage chamber by being drawn in and out, a lower door that is positioned below the upper door and that is configured to open and close a lower portion of the storage chamber by being drawn in and out, an upper door restriction unit that is configured to selectively restrict the upper door from being opened, and a lower door restriction unit that is configured to selectively restrict the lower door from being opened. The upper door restriction unit is configured, based on the lower door being opened, to restrict the upper door from opening, and the lower door restriction unit is configured, based on the upper door being opened, to restrict the lower door from opening.
Oven
An oven that has an improved structure so that the convenience of use and the energy efficiency may be improved includes a casing that has a front panel, a cooking chamber that is provided inside the casing, a door that is rotatably disposed in the casing so as to open and close the cooking chamber, and has a frame, and an individual door that is rotatably provided in the frame so as to open and close an opening provided in the frame.
VERTICALLY ADJUSTABLE SASH LOCK
A vertically adjustable sash lock is described that improves the seal of windows. The vertically adjustable sash lock may include, for example, a housing configured to be coupled to a first window sash and a rotatable cam configured to rotatably engage with a keeper bracket coupled to a second window sash. A vertical member may be positioned through a threaded aperture of the rotatable cam. A knob coupled to the vertical member may drive a rotation of the vertical member, causing a vertical position of the rotatable cam relative to a bottom surface of the housing to adjust accordingly.
HOME APPLIANCE
A home appliance is provided. The home appliance includes a main body having an accommodation space, a first door rotatably coupled to the main body to open and close the accommodation space and having an opening, a second door rotatably coupled to the first door to open and close the opening, and a locking device configured to fix or separate the first door to or from the main body or fix or separate the second door to or from the first door. The locking device includes a main ring unit, an operating lever configured to separate the second door from the first door by pressure, and a dual opening preventing member configured to maintain a fixed state of the second door with respect to the first door when the operating lever is pressed in a state in which the first door is open.
