A remanence-eliminating magnetic lock includes a housing, an electromagnetic body and a resilient abutting member. The electromagnetic body can be assembled into the housing and receive externally-supplied electricity to generate a magnetic attraction force on a top surface thereof The resilient abutting member has a fixing end to be fixed within the housing or the electromagnetic body, and an abutting end exposed from the housing or the top surface of the electromagnetic body. A peak of the abutting end is higher than the top surface of the electromagnetic body. When a metal member is magnetically attached to the top surface of the electromagnetic body, the metal member pressures the abutting end to deform. When the supply of electricity to the magnetic lock is cut off, the abutting end pushes the metal member through a restoring force thereof to move the metal member away from the electromagnetic body to eliminate remanence.

Systems, devices, and methods of locking a lockable volume. The lock may comprise a bolt and a slider. The slider moves linearly to move the bolt in position to engage a securement feature. The engagement of the bolt with the securement feature secures the securement feature, thereby locking the door to which the securement feature is attached.

A latch mechanism includes a detent lever attached to a vehicle, and a release lever attached adjacent the detent to move between a pulled position, pushing the detent lever to an unlocked position responsive to activation of a release handle, and a released position, releasing the detent to move to a locked position responsive to deactivation of the release handle. A forkbolt is attached to the vehicle to move between: a first position—engaging the detent, retaining the striker at one location, and latching a compartment closure assembly closed; a second position—disengaging the detent, retaining the striker at another location, and latching the closure assembly in one pop-up position; a third position—reengaging the detent, retaining the striker at yet another location, and latching the closure assembly in another pop-up position; and a fourth position—disengaging the detent and allowing the closure assembly to open.

In order to lock the door proceeding from the open position, a locking bar is brought into the locked position under tension of a spring element, in which locked position a closing force acting on the locking bar is determined by the spring element, and, in order to unlock the door, the locking bar is brought out of the locked position into an unlocked position with the aid of an actuating force that is not applied by the spring element, and, after the striker has moved out of the locked position, the locking bar moves into the open position by the force of the spring element.

A tool box includes a first casing, a second casing, at least one fastening member, and at least one first elastic member. The first casing has at least one first receiving slot which has two first restriction portions. The second casing has at least one second receiving slot, a second restriction portion, and a first locking portion. The at least one fastening member has a third restriction portion, a second locking portion, and two fourth restriction portions. The at least one first elastic member is biased between the at least one fastening member and the at least one first receiving slot, and the at least one fastening member is pushed by the at least one first elastic member, such that second locking portion is locked onto the first locking portion to interlock the first casing and the second casing.

A door latch and a dishwasher fitted with a door latch are described. The door latch has a body, a pawl provided with a rotating shaft, a first gap being provided between two ends of the rotating shaft, and a mounting slot being provided in one side of the pawl, a first pin mounted on the pawl, the first pin being mounted in the mounting slot in the pawl, a spring having two ends which are connected to the body and the pawl, respectively, a first end of the spring being connected to the first pin through the first gap. During installation of the door latch, assembly of the door latch is quick and easy because the first pin is put into the pin mounting slot in the pawl from the top side of the pin mounting slot, and repair with changing of components is also easy.

A case body with a double-toggle lockset, which includes a first case and a second case which are pivoted on each other. The main feature is that a double-toggle lockset is provided on the lift side of the second case, which includes a casing holder, a core, two pull parts and two linked buckle components, wherein the distance between the toggles of the two pull parts is in the range which allows a normal adult to pull the toggles with one hand. When the locking component of core is in release mode, the user can pull the toggles of the two pull parts to drive the two linked buckle components, so that the buckle parts are released from the locating hooks of the first case, the first and second cases can be opened.

A lock assembly includes a bolt movable between a first position and a second position, a rotating body rotatable between a first position and a second position, and a pawl member rotatable between a first position and a second position. Rotation of the rotating body from the first position to the second position is configured to cause the bolt to move from the first position to the second position. The pawl member is configured to prevent rotation of the rotating body from the first position to the second position when the pawl member is in the first position and the rotating body is in the first position.

A safety device for a motor vehicle, which has a striker, a pawl, a rotary latch having an opening direction of rotation, a closing direction of rotation, and a main locking position, and preferably a front hood, wherein the safety device has a blocking element, which has a blockage position and a release position, and the rotary latch is blocked in the closing direction of rotation in the blockage position of the blocking element, wherein the rotary latch is released in the closing direction of rotation by the blocking element in the release position of the blocking element and lowering of the striker is enabled in the main locking position of the rotary latch and movement of the blocking element from the release position to the blockage position is controlled by means of the pawl.

A lock can include a motor assembly, a gear assembly, and an unlocking assembly. The motor assembly can include a motor and a drive shaft. The gear assembly can include a cam, a pinion gear, and a pinion. The pinion gear can include a plurality of teeth disposed along only a portion of a perimeter of the pinion gear. The pinion gear can be configured to engage the pinion. The pinion can be configured to translate laterally to release a biasing member to unlock a door of a container.
