A window vent stop for use in a sliding sash window assembly or a sliding door assembly. The vent stop has a housing adapted to be disposed in a recess in the non-movable sash member. This housing includes a cavity with a bottom plate therein. The tumbler has at least one pivot for pivotally securing the tumbler to the housing for movement between an extended position to prevent movement of the sliding member and a retracted position, to allow movement of the sliding member. Also within the housing is a spring for biasing the tumbler. The housing has one or more flexible members extending from the end walls of the housing that secure the housing to an opening in a window sash when a portion of the window sash is positioned between the underside of a lip on said housing and the flexible member.

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.

A drawer assembly includes a member having a first locking element. A drawer includes a frame and a handle. The handle includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is coupled to the frame. The second portion is coupled to the first portion. A drawer release includes a first end and a second end. The drawer release is rotatably coupled to the drawer. The first end includes a second locking element. The second portion is rotatable relative to the first portion to move the drawer release from a first orientation in which the second locking element directly engages the first locking element to prevent the drawer from sliding relative to the member to a second orientation in which the second locking element is spaced apart from the first locking element to allow the drawer to slide relative to the member. Systems and methods of use are disclosed.

An alarm system includes a latch assembly having a movable element mounted on one of an entry and a structural element, and a fixed element mounted on the other of the entry and the structural element, wherein the movable element is movable between an engaged position with the fixed element and a disengaged position from the fixed element. A magnet is provided in one of the movable element and the fixed element, and a coil is provided in the other of the moveable element and the fixed element. The magnet and the coil are positioned relative to each other so that an electric current is induced in the coil by the magnet when the movable element is moved between the engaged position and the disengaged position. An energy harvesting circuit connected to the coil converts the induced electric current into a supply voltage that powers the alarm system.

A double lock, dual action gravity latch device to secure a gate in a closed position comprising a latch assembly including a pivotal latch member movable between a latched and unlatched position, a keeper assembly including a striker pin to maintain the gate in the closed position when the pivotal latch member in the latched position, a latch lock assembly including a lock assembly with a first lock and a second lock each independently movable between a locked position and an unlocked position disposed on opposite sides of the gate to selectively move a lock subassembly from a locked position to an unlocked position when either the first lock or second lock is moved from the locked position to the unlocked position, and move the lock subassembly from the unlocked position to the locked position when the unlocked lock is moved from the unlocked position to the locked position and a first latch actuator and a second latch actuator each movable between a first position and a second position disposed on opposite sides of the gate to selectively move the pivotal latch member when either the first lock or the second lock is moved from the locked position to the unlocked position moving the lock subassembly from the locked position to the unlocked position such that when either the first actuator assembly or the second actuator assembly is moved from the first position to the second position the pivotal latch member is moved from the latched position to the unlatched position to allow the gate to be opened.

The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to a quick release grill guard further comprising at least one latching system configured for the quick release and pivot of the grill guard away from the vehicle grill face. The quick release grill guard may comprises a vehicle coupling portion, a clasped member an elongate bar and a clasping member. The clasping member may be constructed and arranged to be releasably engaged with the clasped member. Further, actuation of the elongate bar may cause the clasping member and clasped member to disengage.
