A closure device having a lock element that can be locked on a mating piece, preferably for closing a sealing flap of an opening, in particular an inspection flap, preferably in a drywall construction, in particular for a wall or a ceiling is provided.

A closure device is distinguished by the fact that the lock element is arranged in such a way that, preferably under the action of a spring, in a first position with respect to the mating piece it is or can be moved into a locking position and, in a second position, it reaches a position and/or a state without any blocking action.

A mask stowage container is provided having a door panel coupled to a box via a securement mechanism, the securement mechanism having a striker having a neck and a protrusion, the striker mounted to the door panel, a holder, the holder including a first retainer and a second retainer, the striker configured to be laterally retained between the first retainer and the second retainer.

An electro-mechanical locking device, particularly for cabinetry, with some embodiments used in connection with a drawer slide.

A lock including a latch provided at one of a door and a cabinet, and a coupler provided at the other one of the door and the cabinet, the coupler including a housing including a latch insertion hole, an engaging lever including an engaging lever body rotatably provided within the housing, a latch insertion groove having a first end of the latch inserted therein by extending from a first end of the engaging part body, and first, second, third, and fourth projections formed by extending a second end of the engaging lever body.

A domestic electrical appliance, in particular a dishwashing machine, includes a main appliance body having a product treatment chamber, a door mounted on the main appliance body so as to be pivotable about a horizontal pivot axis close to the floor for closing an access opening to the product treatment chamber and a locking device having a locking assembly arranged on the main appliance body and a closing pin arranged on the door. The locking assembly has a latch movable between a release position and a latching position where the latch engages behind the closing pin to hold the door closed and releases the closing pin to open the door. The latch performs a rotational movement along a horizontal plane as it moves between the release position and the latching position, the closing pin being oriented vertically when the door is closed.

A damped closure assembly for a microwave oven includes a catch element mounted to a cabinet of the microwave oven. A striker defined on a door of the microwave oven engages the catch element which is rotatable between an open position and a closed position. A spring mechanism and a damping element are operably coupled to the catch element to slowly urge the catch element and the door toward the closed position to prevent slamming, loud noises, and potential wear on one or more components of the microwave oven when the door is closed.

A door locking device (1) including a support body (6) which can be fixed to a door (5) of an electric household appliance, a bracket (7) which can be fixed to a structural element (3) of the electric household appliance and a latching device (8) including: a locking tooth (10) constrained to rotate and translate relatively to the support body and which can be coupled with a first end thereof (12) with a transversal element (11) of the bracket; a sliding stem (13) cooperating with a second end (14) of the locking tooth by means of conjugated cam profiles (15, 16) carried by the locking tooth and by a head (17) of the stem; a compression spring (18) associated with the stem for thrusting the cam profiles (15, 16) into contact; and a tilting element (19) hinged to the support body to cooperate with the transversal element (11) of the bracket independently of the locking tooth, to activate a microswitch (23) when the tooth is in a locking position, wherein it engages the transversal element (11) of the bracket.

A latch for an animal house includes a first arm, a second arm, and a body. The first arm and the second arm are connected to each other at one end by the body, and the first arm and the second arm are each flexibly supported at the body. Each arm is independently able to flex with respect to the body. The latch has a flat spring which is adapted to restore the latch to a rest condition in which the arms are aligned with each other.

A fixation device for limiting a gap between a first construction component and a second construction component relative to which the first construction component is movable has first and second fitting parts attached to the first and second construction components, respectively. The first fitting part has a fixation projection with first end and opposed second end. The first end is pivotable about a fixation axis fixed at the first construction component. The fixation projection is pretensioned so as to pivot the second end away from the first construction component. The second fitting part has a guiding surface and a holding element. Fixation projection and guiding surface interact such that, when the construction parts are moved toward each other, the second end glides along the guiding surface toward the holding element and catches therein. A folding device of construction components is provided with such fixation devices.

An uplock for selectively retaining a capture pin of a movable element including a hook, a locking member, and a detector. The hook is movable between a release position and a retaining position. The locking member is movable between a locked position that immobilizes the hook and an unlocked position in which the hook is free. The detector detects whether the hook is in the retaining position and the capture pin is present in the hook. The detector includes a sensor associated with a single target which is movable between two positions The sensor emits a signal which is modified when the target passes from one of the positions to the other. The target is independently in kinematic interaction with the hook and the capture pin.
