QUICK RELEASE GRILL GUARD AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
20220153216 · 2022-05-19 ·

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.

HANDS-FREE DOOR LATCH

A hands-free door latch allows closing the door and latching the door shut without a person using the person's hands, and further allows unlatching the latch without the person using the person's hands. In one preferred embodiment, shutting the door causes the latch to close by the force of gravity. In some embodiments, the latch can be unlatched with a person's foot. In other embodiments, the latch can be unlatched with a person's arm or elbow. The hands-free door latch allows a person to latch and unlatch a door without hands, thereby decreasing the likelihood of exposing a person's hands to germs left by someone else.

Transverse concealed latch system
11319729 · 2022-05-03 · ·

A latch mechanism having a latch apparatus that is pivotally displaced about a latch axis and a cam device is that pivotally displaced along a transverse cam axis. The cam device is configured to operably engage the latch apparatus so as to at least assist in securing the latch apparatus in a locked position. When the latch apparatus is to be displaced to an unlocked position, the cam device may be pivoted about the transverse cam axis to a position in which the cam device does not impede with the pivotal displacement of the latch apparatus. The latch apparatus may also be configured to prevent the pivotal displacement of the cam device when the latch apparatus is in the unlocked position. According to other embodiments, the latch apparatus may be pivotally displaced about a transverse latch axis by the displacement of a latch link.

DRAWER ASSEMBLY
20230250677 · 2023-08-10 ·

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.
