A magnetic latch for fastening a closure member to a support. The magnetic latch comprises a latch bolt assembly comprising: a first elongated housing configured to be mounted with its rear side facing either the closure member or the support; a second housing connected to and positioned underneath the first housing, the second housing being rotatable with respect to the first housing around the vertical direction between a first rotational position in which the latch bolt assembly is operable for a right-handed closure member and a second rotational position in which the latch bolt assembly is operable for a left-handed closure member; and a latch bolt mounted in the second housing. The different rotational positions of the second housing allow using a horizontally moveable latch bolt while retaining a symmetrical placement on the closure system irrespective of the handedness of the closure member.

A locking mechanism situated in an inner zone and comprising at least one component that is adjustable in a longitudinal direction and that is linked to a support by a link having a rod secured to the adjustable component. The link includes a guideway link, linking the rod and the support, and an adjustment system. The adjustment system comprises a pivoting control pivoting on itself and having a first end accessible from an outer zone, an intermediate piece configured to pivot on itself, an angle transmission converting a pivoting movement of the pivoting control into a pivoting movement of the intermediate piece, and a helical link converting a pivoting movement of the intermediate piece into a translational movement of the rod. The locking mechanism allows for adjustment from the outer zone. An aircraft comprising at least one such locking mechanism is also provided.

A device for closing and opening doors and/or hatches and/or similar components, in particular of household appliances such as washing machines, in particular with top loading, dishwashers and similar household appliances, said device comprising a closing and opening assembly adapted to be fixed to one of a fixed part and the hatch of a household appliance and including a closing and opening element which is adapted to be switched by translation between a first end-stop position and a second end-stop position and vice versa; wherein said device comprises a permission element which is adapted to be switched by translation between a first end-stop own position thereof and a second end-stop own position thereof and vice versa, and wherein said permission element, during the translation thereof from said first end-stop own position thereof to said second end-stop own position thereof, is adapted to be locked in a third intermediate own position thereof between said first and second end-stop own positions thereof.

A magnetic latch for fastening a closure member to a support. The magnetic latch comprises a keeper assembly including a magnet and a latch bolt assembly having: an elongated frame (32); a latch bolt (14) moveable between a latching position and a retracted position; a latch bolt biasing member urging the latch bolt into its retracted position; and a latch bolt operating mechanism configured to move the latch bolt from its latching position to its retracted position against a magnetic attraction. The latch bolt operating mechanism comprises: an effort link rod (37); a load link rod (34); and a second-order lever (35) interposed between the effort link rod and the load link rod. The second-order lever reduces the force required to operate the latch bolt operating mechanism thus allowing for an increased magnetic attraction of the latch bolt towards the magnet in the keeper assembly.

A device for closing and opening doors and/or hatches and/or similar components, in particular of household appliances such as washing machines, in particular with top loading, dishwashers and similar household appliances, said device comprising a closing and opening assembly adapted to be fixed to one of a fixed part and the hatch of a household appliance and including a closing and opening element which is adapted to be switched by translation between a first end-stop position and a second end-stop position and vice versa; wherein said device comprises a permission element which is adapted to be switched by translation between a first end-stop own position thereof and a second end-stop own position thereof and vice versa, and wherein said permission element, during the translation thereof from said first end-stop own position thereof to said second end-stop own position thereof, is adapted to be locked in a third intermediate own position thereof between said first and second end-stop own positions thereof.

A locking system for securing, within a rectangular frame aperture of a safe, a hinged door having a perimeter and an external side and an internal side and occupying a first vertical plane, the door being configured for suspension on hinges. The locking system comprises a key axle, a disc, a plate. When the key axle is rotated the disc is caused to rotate and the plate slides horizontally to extend a distal end of the plate towards beyond the door perimeter.

The present lift lock includes a slide having feet and a slot between the feet, where such slide further includes an interior generally full length wall for acting as a stop, and where such slide further includes gripping ribs that increase in width from the front end of the slide to the rear end of the slide.

A latch assembly for a tonneau cover. The latch assembly includes a button and a slider. The slider is movably coupled to the button. Movement of the button in a first direction causes the slider to move in an unlatching direction. Movement of the button in a second direction causes the slider to move in a latching direction.

A magnetic latch for fastening a closure member to a support. The magnetic latch comprises a latch bolt assembly comprising: a first elongated housing configured to be mounted with its rear side facing either the closure member or the support; a second housing connected to and positioned underneath the first housing, the second housing being rotatable with respect to the first housing around the vertical direction between a first rotational position in which the latch bolt assembly is operable for a right-handed closure member and a second rotational position in which the latch bolt assembly is operable for a left-handed closure member; and a latch bolt mounted in the second housing. The different rotational positions of the second housing allow using a horizontally moveable latch bolt while retaining a symmetrical placement on the closure system irrespective of the handedness of the closure member.

A gate includes a gate barrier and a hinge configured to allow the gate barrier to rotate about a rotation axis and translate along the rotation axis. The gate may include a gate latch coupled to the gate barrier, where the gate latch includes a latch bolt and a latch operator. The latch bolt may be configured to slide between an engaged position and a disengaged position in a first direction (e.g., a horizontal direction). The latch operator may be engaged with the latch bolt and configured to slide between a locking position and an unlocking position in a second, different direction (e.g., an inclined direction).
