A drive device for a movable furniture part includes a first lockable ejection device and a second lockable ejection device for ejecting the movable furniture part out of a closed position into an open position. The first ejection device has a first locking device and the second ejection device has a second locking device. The first locking device and the second locking device each have a locking position and an unlocking position. The first locking device and the second locking device are movable between the respective locking position and the respective unlocking position by rotational movement of a respective first component relative to a respective second component about a rotational axis oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first ejection device and the second ejection device. A synchronizing device for synchronizing the first locking device and the second locking device.

The invention relates to an ejection device for ejecting a movable furniture part from a closed position into an open position along an opening path, comprising a support and a coupling device for coupling the ejection device to the movable furniture part. The coupling device has a coupling piece which can be moved relative to the support and a coupling counter piece which is arranged on the movable furniture part or on a furniture body. The coupling device has a coupling position and a decoupling position, and the ejection device can be coupled to the movable furniture part via the coupling device in the coupling position. The ejection device also comprises a controller, by means of which the coupling device can be switched depending on the opening path, and the coupling device reaches the decoupling position from the coupling position in the event of a specified opening path.

A multi-function latch and latch bolt includes a pair of mechanical fastener to be installed on a gate for the purpose of holding the gate in closed position, and that a person standing on the inside of the fence can disengage the latch hook bracket from the latch bolt, or disengage the latch bolt from the latch hook bracket in any of which method to unlatch and open the gate from inside the fence even when the outside of the latch is locked. On the other hand, when the latch is not locked on the inside but locked on the outside with an incorporated lock, keyed or combination padlock; then a person standing on the outside of the gate may open the gate if he/she has an appropriate key or knows the combination codes in order to unlock, unlatch and open the gate from outside the fence.

A drive device for a movable furniture part, in particular for a drawer, includes a push-out device for pushing the movable furniture part out of a closed position into an open position, and includes a locking device for locking the push-out device in a locked position. The locking device has a locking guide track, which is in particular cardioid, and a locking pin movable and lockable in the locking guide track. A control device is provided which is separate from the locking guide track and from the locking pin, and the movement of the locking pin in the locking guide track can be at least partially controlled by the control device.

A latch including a housing having side members each having an elongated slot, a bolt mounted rotatably to the housing and positioned between the side members of the housing, an adjustment mechanism, and a pin and roller positioned slidably within the elongated slots of the side members of the housing. The adjustment mechanism includes a compression spring, a central cap for receiving the pin and roller therethrough, and a nut for adjusting the load on the compression spring. The bolt is moveable between a first, closed position, in which the pin and roller are engaged with the bolt, and a second open position, in which the pin and roller are disengaged from the bolt. The latch can be opened automatically when a defined load, as adjusted by the adjustment mechanism, is provided on the bolt to disengage the pin and roller from the bolt.

A plastic arrangement that includes a first plastic component, a second plastic component, and a plastic lock mechanism for fastening the second plastic component to the first plastic component. The plastic lock mechanism includes a first lock unit and a second lock unit. The first lock unit includes a U-shaped cantilever member, a catch element and a catch element retention part. The second lock unit includes a protruding member and a protruding member retention part. The plastic lock mechanism provides a locked position wherein the catch element retention part restricts movement of the catch element for preventing the second plastic component from separating from the first plastic component, and the protruding member retention part restricts movement of the protruding member for hindering the moving of the first lock unit to a released position.

A door lock and an electrical appliance using the door lock. The door lock comprises: a switch housing; a pen core-like mechanism disposed in the switch housing; a control needle (state means) passing out of the pen core-like mechanism; and a manual unlocking pull rod mechanism. The manual unlocking pull rod mechanism is capable of moving towards the control needle and coming into contact therewith. The position of the control needle (state means) indicates the switch state of the door lock, such that when the door lock is in an unlocked position, further pulling of the manual unlocking pull rod mechanism has no effect on the door lock switch mechanism.

PROBLEM: To provide a retaining device for which the magnitude of resistance when an engaging protrusion moves between elastic pieces can be adjusted.

SOLUTION: The retaining device 4 is provided with: a receiving member 5 that is attached to a main body 1, and an engagement member 6 that is attached to a movable body 2. The receiving member 5 has: a base part 10 attached to the main body 1, a first elastic piece 11 supported by the base part 10, and a second elastic piece 12 supported by the base part 10. The engagement member 6 has an engaging protrusion 8 that passes between the first elastic piece 11 and the second elastic piece 12 and is retained at a retaining position P. An interval between the first elastic piece 11 and the second elastic piece 12 becomes narrower than the engaging protrusion 8 at a more forward side than the retaining position P. The first elastic piece 11 bends more easily than the second elastic piece 12 at a more forward side than the retaining position P.

A spring-loaded rounded latching structure includes a main body and a back cover. The main body defines a groove bound by a bottom wall and a sidewall. The bottom wall defines a slot and includes a resisting portion. The side wall includes a first snap. The main body includes a button. The button includes a pushing member. The back cover defines a second slot and includes a second snap and a stopping block. The back cover is slidable relative to the main body along the groove defined in the main body. The first snap is snapped in the second slot. The second snap is snapped in the first slot. The resisting portion resists the stopping portion to limit a sliding movement of the back cover. The resisting portion is released from the stopping portion within the groove by the pushing member.

A vehicle assembly includes an interior body panel having an outer surface including an opening portion, and a lid removably mounted to the body panel. The lid has a closed position for covering the opening portion and an opened position. Engagement between the lid and the body panel is adapted to allow the lid to pivot at least partially into the opening portion as the lid is moved from the closed position to the opened position. The lid defines a lid body having an exterior surface. An edge portion of the exterior surface is continuous and without interruption about a periphery of the exterior surface so that the lid body exterior surface is flush with the body panel outer surface about the entire periphery of the lid body exterior surface.
