A method having the steps of obtaining temporal information communicated to a first device; carrying out one or more of the following tests: a test to determine whether the first device is in a state following an initial operation, a battery replacement or other power outage, or a reset, a test to determine whether a deviation between temporal information of the clock and the communicated temporal information is less than or equal to a threshold which is specified, and a test to determine whether the communicated temporal information has the same date as the temporal information of the clock; and synchronizing the clock using the communicated temporal information if all of one or more defined conditions are satisfied, wherein one of the one or more conditions requires that at least one of the one or more tests carried out has a positive result.

A charging cart includes a casing, at least one door leaf and a hooking mechanism. The casing has at least one first hooking slot. The door leaf is pivotally mounted to the casing so that the door leaf is rotatable relative to the casing about a first rotation axis. The hooking mechanism includes a movable assembly and at least one hooking member. The movable assembly is movably disposed on the door leaf. The hooking member is connected to the movable assembly. The hooking member is driven by the movable assembly to rotate relative to the door leaf about a second rotation axis to be moved between a locked position and an unlocked position. The second rotation axis is parallel to the first rotation axis.

An assembly can include a chassis that includes a chamber and an opening; a cover movable for access to the chamber via the opening; a cover latch; and a cover latch release that includes a push panel operatively coupled via a linkage to a pull panel that includes a finger grip surface, where the linkage rotates the pull panel responsive to rotation of the push panel to expose the finger grip surface, and where further rotation of the pull panel releases the cover latch.

A lock device includes a base attached to a lid, a knob having a grip portion movably supported on a front side of the base and an arm portion projecting rearward with respect to the grip portion, a slider slidably supported in a rear part of the base so as to move slidingly by being pushed by the arm portion in response to a movement of the knob, a first rod and a second rod slidably supported by a part of the base located in front of the slider in a vertically arranged manner so as to be engaged by and disengaged from a pair of corresponding engaging holes, and a power transmission mechanism provided between the slider and the first rod and the second rod so that the first rod and the second rod are slidingly moved in response to a movement of the slider.

An openable door includes a first engaging member, a second engaging member, and at least one intermediate engaging member. when the openable door pivots from an open position to a closed position, an engaging portion of the first engaging member engages a first engaged portion, and an engaging portion of an engaging portion of the second engaging member engages a second engaged portion before an engaging portion of the intermediate engaging member engages an intermediate shaft body.

A vehicle that includes a door, handle, shaft, and a latch assembly is provided. The latch assembly is coupled to the door to selectively secure the door. The latch assembly includes a security tether configured to prevent the shaft from moving the pawl when the lock lever is located in the locked condition. The security tether further includes: a plate attachable to the latch assembly; the plate includes an aperture sized to receive at least a portion of the lock lever that is disposed through the aperture; the plate includes first and second stop surfaces to limit movement of the lock lever; the first and second stop surfaces are also spaced apart from each other; the lock lever is movable between the first and second stop surfaces; at least the first stop surface is spaced apart from the first location on the pawl; and the lock lever engages the first stop surface when the lock lever is located in the locked condition to prevent the pawl from moving to the unlatched condition and unlatching the latching assembly.

A glove compartment lock device includes: a base member attached to a glove compartment; a knob member supported by the base member so as to be rotatable around a shaft portion between a closed position and an opened position; an arm member supported at a center portion in a longitudinal direction thereof by the base member so as to be swingable between a locked position and an unlocked position of the glove compartment and configured to come into contact with the knob member at one end portion thereof; and a spring member locked at one end portion thereof to the knob member, locked at another end portion thereof to another end portion of the arm member, and configured to generate a biasing force that rotates the knob member to the closed position and swings the arm member to the locked position. A rotation direction around the shaft portion in which the one end portion of the spring member rotates the knob member to the closed position and a rotation direction around the shaft portion in which the other end portion of the spring member swings the arm member to the locked position are opposite to each other.

A door apparatus, including a first lintel, including a first slideable bolt, and a first rotatable cogged wheel, being interlaced with the first slideable bolt, and a door, including a second bolt being slideable by key operation, to interlace the first rotatable cogged wheel to rotate thereof, thereby to slide the first slideable bolt, and a first depression, for housing the first slideable bolt of the first lintel, thereby locking thereof to the door, thereby massive locking allows reducing the second bolt of the door.
