A vehicular handle device includes: a handle base fixed to a vehicle and holding an operating handle; and a shaft component inserted into and attached to a bearing portion provided in the handle base. The shaft component is retained in the bearing portion while being restrained from moving in a slipping-out direction by a cantilever-shaped elastic piece formed on the handle base and configured to be elastically deformed to allow passage of the shaft component. The handle base is provided with a stopper protrusion portion which limits an elastic deformation range of the elastic piece by letting a free end portion of the elastic piece abut on a stopper surface.

Adoor latch includes a gripper adjustable between a gripping state and a release state, which gripper, in the gripping state, is able to grip a closing member for holding the door closed which moves relatively closer to the gripper in a closing direction as a door of the domestic appliance is closed, and, in the release state, frees the closing member for opening the door, wherein, when the door is closed, the gripping state of the gripper is released by a relative releasing movement of the closing member carried out in the closing direction; and an electrically controllable displacement mechanism for displacing the gripper, under electrical control, from a retracted position into an advanced position against a restoring spring force, which advanced position, when the closing member is gripped, corresponds to a state in which the door is closed to a lesser degree than in the retracted position.

A housing device having a pull-type locking and release structure includes a housing (110) and a locking and release member (150). The housing (110) includes two lateral walls (130), a breach (132) formed on each of the lateral walls (130), and an elongated groove (134) formed along each of the lateral walls (130), a pivot hole (136) formed on each of the lateral walls (130). The locking and release member (150) includes two arms (152) disposed in the two elongated grooves (134), a rod (156) connected to the two arms (152), a resilient element (160) disposed at each of the arms (152), a connection element (170) connected to each of the arms (152), a fastening element (180) connected to each of the connection elements (170), and a pivot (182) protruding from each of the fastening elements (180). The pivot (182) is pivotally connected to the pivot hole (136).

A door bolt structure of an electronic device includes a door frame, a door panel, and a resilient metallic wire. The door panel is movably disposed at the door frame and provides a hermetic seal to the door frame. The two ends of the resilient metallic wire are connected to the door panel. The resilient metallic wire bends to form hook portions which protrude from the edge of the door panel. When the door panel provides a hermetic seal for the door frame, the hook portions are engaged with an inner edge of the door frame. When pulled, the resilient metallic wire drives the hook portions to separate from the door frame, thereby allowing the door panel to move relative to the door frame.

A storage container includes a base having an interior storage volume, a lid, and a latch configured to move between an unsecured position in which the lid is movable from the closed position and a secured position in which the lid is retained in the closed position. The latch is configured to extend through an aperture defined by the lid and the base. The latch includes an extended edge to prevent the latch from passing entirely through the aperture. The latch is captured by the lid and floats within the lid portion of the aperture. The latch also includes a resilient portion configured to engage an opening in the base portion of the aperture to selectively retain the lid and the body in the closed position when the latch is in the secured position.

A shutter locking assembly that has a bolt carriage with a bolt slidingly engageable with the bolt carriage and a biasing (actuator) means operatively connected to the bolt member and the bolt carriage. The bolt carriage is inserted into a cavity of a shutter slat, and the action of moving the shutter slat between an up (open) position and a down (locked) position, causing the bolt to be moved between an extended position and a retracted position. When the shutter slat is in a down (locked) position the bolt engages with a bolt receiving opening adjacent to the shutter slat, and when in an up (open position) the bolt is retracted

There is provided a locking assembly mountable to a dispenser having a base part and a cover movable relative to each other between a closed configuration and an open configuration. The locking assembly is configured to lock the base part and the cover in the closed configuration when mounted to the dispenser and comprises an unlocking component mountable to one of the base part and the cover and having an unlocking body translatable to configure the locking assembly into an unlocked configuration; and a pushbutton at least partially contained in the unlocking body. The locking assembly is selectively configurable into a key-opening configuration wherein the pushbutton is prevented from translation and in a pushbutton-opening configuration wherein pressure on the pushbutton engages the unlocking body into translation to configure the locking assembly into the unlocked configuration.

A childproof cabinet latch system for effectively securing cabinet doors and drawers without damaging wood surfaces. The childproof cabinet latch system generally includes a base, a latch extending outwardly from the base, a catch portion that is adapted to catchably engage an interior surface of a cabinet surrounding an opening in the cabinet, a slot extending through the base, and an opening extending through the base and connected to the slot, wherein the width of the first opening is greater than the width of the first slot. The width of the first opening is also greater than a width of a head of a threaded fastener to allow passage of the head of the threaded fastener through the first opening. The width of the first slot is less than the width of the head of the threaded fastener to prevent passage of the head through the first slot.
