A door opener assembly may include an opener housing including a well and at least one hook member. A pin-reception channel may be formed through a portion of the well. The hook member(s) is configured to hook onto a portion of a frame. The door opener assembly may also include a frame-securing member having a pin retained within the pin-reception channel. The frame-securing member is configured to be urged into the well to lock the opener housing to the portion of the frame.

A low profile actuating window lock for casement windows having a handle actuate a lifter that slides vertically on a fork component in slidable communication with the window lock casing, the handle pivotable about the lifter and pivotable about a restrictor arm that pivots relative to the casing, allowing the handle to rotate fully from the locked position to the unlocked position with low clearance from the window frame. The pivot points of the handle, lifter, restrictor arm configuration allow for an over center linkage that prevents back driving the casement window lock.

The invention relates to a lock (1) which can be actively released and locked by control technology, particularly for use in automatic storage machines having a plurality of compartments with compartment doors (2) which are to be opened individually, and to an automatic storage machine having at least one such lock (1). The lock (1) comprises a detent pawl (14), which can lock a locking element (9), which is permanently connected to a compartment door (2), in the lock such that the compartment door (2) can be held in closed position. The lock further has a first electric drive element (17) which transitions the detent pawl (14) from the locking position to a release position upon the applying of electrical power, such that the compartment door (2) can be opened. The lock (1) further comprises a security device (32), which prevents an automatic reset of the detent pawl (14) from the release position to the locking position when the lock (1) is in an unpowered state or the automatic storage machine is in an unpowered state, and an unintentional, accidental or improper locking of a compartment door can thus be avoided. In order to properly lock a compartment door, the security device (32) of the lock (1) comprises a second electric drive element, by means of which the detent pawl (14) can be transitioned back to the locking position thereof upon the applying of electrical power to said second electric drive element during closing of the compartment door (2).

A handle structure (100) includes a shell (102), a handle (200), and a sliding member (300). An aperture (104) is provided on the shell (102). One end of the handle (200) pivots to the shell (102), and the handle (200) includes a pressing portion (210). The sliding member (300) is installed on the shell (102) corresponding to the handle (200). The sliding member (300) includes a hooking portion (310) penetrating the aperture (104) and a pressing area (302) pressed by the pressing portion (210) to move the hooking portion (310) from a first position (S) to a second position (E). By this arrangement, a case body can be easily pulled out and locked.

A gravity gate latch that is positioned near the free end of a gate to automatically engage a strike member. The gate latch has a pair of side plates that are spaced apart to define to enclose a hook plate and a sliding mechanism. The hook plate has a hook member that engages the strike member of the gate and a slot that engages the sliding mechanism to allow the hook plate to move upward and downward between the two side plates. The side plates define an enlarged latch mouth that receives the strike member. The hook member has an elongated edge to be hit by the strike member to lift the hook plate to allow the strike member to pass through the latch mouth and an enlarged area that is hit by the strike member to close the hook member to trap the strike member in the gate latch.

A storage device 1 has a storage device body 2 and an opening and closing member 4, which are supported to be capable of pivoting about the center of opening and closing movement, the center being provided on one side. A lock mechanism 13 is provided on the other side of both the storage device body 2 and an opening 3. The lock mechanism 13 is provided with a lock member 16, an unlocking button 17, a cam mechanism 18, and a biasing member 19. The lock member 16 is a pivotable member 22 capable of pivoting about a lock pivot shaft 21. The opening and closing member 4 has a pressure receiving portion 52 on the inner surface side thereof, and the pressure receiving portion 52 is pushed out in an opening direction 23 by the lock member 16 which is caused to pivot in an unlocking direction.
