A mobile refrigerator having built-in handles, comprising a box and handles. The side portions of the box are provided with recesses for accommodating the handles; each handle comprises a fixed base, a turnable handgrip, and springs; the fixed base is connected to the box by means of bolts; the turnable handgrip is turnably connected to the fixed base by means of the springs; the turnable handgrip comprises a grip, a first turning member, and a second turning member; the grip is connected to the first turning member and the second turning member separately by means of bolts; the first turning member and the second turning member are turnably connected to the fixed base separately. The springs are provided at the handle, and the handle is adhered to the box by means of the elasticity of the springs, and thus does shake during movement; multiple limiting plates form different intervals, the elasticities of the springs are different when the springs are in different intervals, so as to adjust the tightness of the springs, i.e., the closeness of the handle adhered to the box is adjusted; by means of the abutting of inner limiting protrusions and outer limiting protrusions, the turning angle of the handle is limited, thereby preventing the handle from being damaged due to too large turning angle.

A handrail assembly comprising a top bracket and a handrail pivotally connected to the top bracket. The handrail is movable relative to the top bracket between a stowed position and a deployed position. The handrail is able to be locked in position. The handrail can move between the stowed position and the deployed position when the handrail is not locked in position, but held in the stowed position or the deployed position when the handrail is not locked in position. The handrail cannot move between the stowed position and the deployed position when the handrail is locked in position.

A compression latch is provided, which comprises a compression latch body comprising a first side and a second side opposite the first side, a handle extending from the first side and rotatable in an x-y plane, a rod extending from the second side in a z direction, a latch pawl connected to the rod and linear actuator connected to the handle and the rod.

Improvements handle for door closing is disclosed. The handle is rotatable from an outer housing that both protects the handle and provides a structural frame for mounting the handle to a pre-existing door. A typical installation is to place the handle closer to the hinge side of the door. This allows a user to require a shorter reach and pull to the door. Because opening a door for a wheelchair requires the door to almost be completely opened. The handle also has a rotation stop that prevents the handle from being rotated out of the housing more than 90 degrees. A retention and extending mechanism both holds the handle within the housing and slightly opens the handle for a user to grasp. The housing can be surface mount or flush mount. The handle can allow for weight bearing support of a user.

A lock including: a retractable knob; and a knob release mechanism for retaining the retractable knob in a retracted position, the knob release mechanism retains the retractable knob in the retracted position until a motor of the knob release mechanism is actuated by an input provided to a keypad located on a surface of the lock.

Techniques and examples pertaining to an assist handle implementable to an automotive vehicle are described. The assist handle is automatically deployed to provide ingress or egress assist to a passenger to enter or exit the automotive vehicle. Furthermore, the assist handle is automatically retracted when not in use. The deployment and the retraction of the assist handle is controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle, through an actuator and a transmission mechanism, in response to a command sent from a body control module (BCM) of the vehicle, the command regarding an operation of a door of the vehicle. When retracted, the assist handle may be invisible to the passenger. The automotive vehicle may be an autonomous ride-sharing vehicle.

A lock, including: a retractable knob; and a knob release mechanism for retaining the retractable knob in a retracted position, wherein the knob release mechanism includes a damper with a gear that is slidably received within a set of grooves located in the retractable knob, and wherein the gear prevents rotation of the retractable knob unless it is in an extended position.

A compact and portable door pull for sanitary use that provides a method of opening a door so the user doesn't need to touch the door handle thus lessening the likelihood of any germ/bacteria transmission. The device consists of an outer case which is gripped and an extension/slide-out component, or pivoting extension component, both having a thumb bump to manually actuate the extension. Both extensions have a hook on the end which engages the door handle and allows the user to pull the door open without touching the handle. Once the device is disengaged from the door handle, the user retracts the extension by manually reversing the extension action using the thumb bump. The device can then be returned to its original storage location (i.e. pocket, purse, backpack or diaper bag) for future use.
