A latch assembly for clamping a pickup truck cover to a truck bed is disclosed. The assembly includes a base mount fixed to the cover side rail, a cam assembly having first and second cam surfaces, and a handle assembly rotatably attached to the mount. The handle assembly is movable between stowed and clamping positions and includes a lever rotatably mounted to the mount, a grip slidably mounted on the lever, and a pivotable locking arm associated with the cam surfaces. The arm includes a grip for clamping against the bed. The first cam surface has a stowing cam profile for moving the arm to its stowed position. The second cam surface has a locking cam profile for moving the arm to its clamping position. The arm includes a follower for engagement with the cam surfaces. The base mount includes a grip-engaging feature. The grip includes a base mount-engaging feature.

Described herein is a motor vehicle lock arrangement that includes a motor vehicle lock, with an operable functional element and a securing device which is associated with the functional element, wherein the securing device is coupled or it being possible to couple the securing device to the functional element in order to counteract an automatic operating movement of the functional element due to a crash acceleration phenomena which can occur in the event of a crash. In one embodiment, the securing device has a deflectable blocking element which can be deflected into a blocking position in which an operating movement of the functional element can be blocked by the blocking element, and the blocking element has an associated latching arrangement which latches in when the blocking element is deflected into the blocking position, and the latched-in latching arrangement holds the blocking element in the blocking position.

A handle (100), having: an escutcheon (106) having a recessed area (300); a lever (104) pivotally mounted toward the top end of the escutcheon and at least a portion of the lever is disposed within the recessed area when in a lever closed position (102); a first gear (310) operatively connected to a top side (312) of the lever and a portion of the first gear including gear teeth (320) extending through an opening (360) in the escutcheon; a second gear (324) mounted on a back (130) of the escutcheon and having cam teeth (322) that mesh with the gear teeth of the first gear; a cam latch (140) operatively connected to the second gear to rotate when the second gear rotates; and, a lock assembly (146) mounted to a bottom end (202) of the lever.
