CHARGING CART
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.
ALIGNMENT BRACKET ASSEMBLY FOR SLIDABLE VEHICLE DOOR
A vehicle door system includes, among other things, a vehicle body and a slidable door that is slidable back and forth relative to the vehicle body between an open position and a closed position. The system further includes an alignment bracket assembly having a door-mounted portion and a body-mounted portion. The door-mounted portion and the body-mounted portion are wedged against one another when the slidable door is in the closed position to restrict movement of the slidable door relative to the vehicle body when the slidable door is in the closed position.
Bin Latch System
A bin latch system. A bin latch mechanism that has been designed with weight, number of components, simplicity of operation and installation as main design drivers. The bin latch utilizes spring loaded rods that are ‘pulled’ to release the locking subassemblies. The rods lock two sets of interlocking housings in place. Due to the nature of the rod actuator, the design is binary in nature and needs both sets of interlocking housings to be secured before the interface handle can go to ‘full close’ position. Additionally, there is no rigging necessary at install. Once the assembly is in secured in place, it is ready to be operated.
Low profile lock for windows
A lock for a window which includes a body including a channel defined in an interior of the body, an actuator element configured to be received in the channel and slidable therein, the actuator element including a fork portion to operably couple with a tie bar assembly for locking the window, a handle pivotally coupled to the actuator element, and a linkage pivotally coupled between the body and an intermediate point on the handle. The handle is movable between a closed position and an open position, with movement of the handle causing the actuator element to slide within the channel in a direction opposite the direction of movement of the handle.
MULTI-POINT LOCK WITH SINGLE ACTUATION AND MISHANDLING DEVICE AND SELF-ALIGNING ENGAGEMENT
A multi-point locking arrangement is provided. The multi-point locking arrangement includes a primary lock bolt and an auxiliary lock bolt offset from the primary lock bolt. The multi-point locking arrangement, in an embodiment, uses a single actuation motion to transition between locked and unlocked states. The locking arrangement may also include a lockout device that prevents transitioning from the unlocked state to the locked state when the lockout device is not actuated. The locking arrangement may include a biased auxiliary strike plate that cooperate with the auxiliary lock bolt to provide improved alignment and a tighter seal.
Locking Mechanism For A Tank Body And A Tank Cover Of A Pressure Tank
A locking mechanism for a tank body and a tank cover of a pressure tank. The locking mechanism includes: a tank body, a tank chamber, a tank cover, a hydraulic cylinder, a locking ring, a spring cylinder, a fixing supporting mechanism, a fixing plate, a barb, a notch, and a pulling cylinder.
VEHICLE DOOR INCLUDING PUSH BUTTON ACTUATOR
A door of a vehicle includes a door body coupled to a vehicle body. The door body is movable relative to the vehicle body between an open position and a closed position. The door further includes a latch movable relative to the door body between a latched position and an unlatched position. The latch is configured to secure the door body in the closed position when the latch in the latched position. An actuator is supported by the door body and operable to move the latch from the latched position to the unlatched position, and a push button actuator is supported by the door body and operable to move the latch from the unlatched position to the latched position. The push button actuator is operable to move the latch from the latched position to the unlatched position without operating the actuator.
SINGLE RELEASE LATCHING SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE INDEPENDENTLY LATCHING LATCH ASSEMBLIES
A latching system includes a guide body, and a latch rod slidably retained by the guide body. Latch assemblies fixed to the latch rod, are spaced apart from one another, and independently biased to a latched position. A first rod-biasing spring is coaxial with the latch rod and disposed between the guide body and a first latch assembly. The first rod-biasing spring biases the latch rod to a rest position corresponding with a latched position of the latch assemblies. Multiple catches are secured at a spacing equal to a spacing of the latch assemblies on the latch rod such that the latch assemblies latch to the catches independently of one another. A force on the latch rod against the first rod-biasing spring moves the latch rod along the longitudinal axis of the latch rod from a rest position to an actuated position and unlatches the latch assemblies simultaneously.
Adjustable dead-latching bolt mechanisms
Latch mechanisms adapted to prevent unauthorized displacement of a latch bolt from an extended, locked position to a retracted, unlocked position. The latch mechanisms prevent the failure of a latch bolt of one latch mechanism to return to an extended lock position from interfering with the ability of a latch bolt of an inter-related latch mechanism from being able to return to an extended, locked position. Further embodiments provide a mounting bracket mounted to a door to allow the associated latch mechanism to be indirectly secured to the door. Additionally, the mounting bracket may have a plurality of mounting orifices that allow the mounting bracket to be used with a wide range of latch mechanisms, as well as provide adjustable attachment of the latch mechanism to the mounting bracket.
DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM
A door locking mechanism includes a main body, a trigger, and a slide lock. The slide lock and the main body are configured such that at least a portion of the slide lock extends outside of the main body in a locked position, with the slide lock being advanced into the main body as the slide lock transitions toward an unlocked position. A ball lock is in operative communication with the trigger and the slide lock, with the ball lock, the trigger, and the slide lock being configured such that when the trigger is in the extended position, the ball lock inhibits movement of the slide lock from the unlocked position toward the locked position. Movement of the trigger from an extended position toward a retracted position allows the ball lock to assume an unobstructed position allowing the slide lock to transition from toward the locked position.
