A band seal having a strap including a head portion, a tail portion and a middle portion, a retainer, an adhesive pad and a release liner secured to the adhesive pad, wherein the band seal is positionable into three positions including a pre-attached position wherein the middle portion of the strap is in a non-looped orientation, a temporary position wherein the middle portion of the strap is in a looped orientation and the retainer holds the middle portion in this looped orientation with the tail portion being concentric with the middle portion, and an attached position wherein the release liner is removed from the adhesive pad and the tail portion is secured to the adhesive pad.

An anti-reverse sealing lock includes a transparent housing having a passage with an opening in a top side of the transparent housing. A locking block is mounted in the passage and includes a locking ring and an anti-reverse member mounted in the passage. The locking ring includes a locking ring hole having an inclined groove receiving a C-shaped ring. The anti-reverse member includes a through-hole. A latch rod includes an insertion section having a first stepped groove and a second stepped groove. The latch rod extends through the opening, the locking ring hole, and the through-hole. The C-shaped ring is retained in the first stepped groove. A peripheral edge of the through-hole at an end of the anti-reverse member abuts against an end wall of the second stepped groove when the latch rod moves in a removal direction, preventing removal of the latch rod.

A locking mechanism for a swinging door movable between a door closed position and a door open position and including a latch, the locking mechanism including a bolt housing, a movable bolt slidably mounted in the bolt housing, the movable bolt having a first end and second end, and a spring mounted in the bolt housing between the bolt second end and a portion of the bolt housing and biasing the bolt towards the bolt first end. The locking mechanism also includes a locking plate having a hole therein, the locking plate being slidably mounted in the bolt housing and movable between a bolt unlocked position where the locking plate hole is aligned with the bolt so that the bolt can move freely towards the bolt second end, and a bolt locked position where the locking plate hole is not aligned with the bolt and where the bolt movement toward the bolt second end is limited. The locking mechanism also includes a locking plate moving mechanism for moving the locking plate between its bolt locking position and its bolt unlocked position, the latch engaging the bolt first end and preventing the door from opening if the latch and the bolt first end cannot move past one another.

A vehicle door latch safety sensor arrangement includes a vehicle body, a door coupled to the vehicle body, a latch arrangement and a sensor arrangement including a door sensor and configured to sense when the door is in the closed position, a latch sensor configured to sense when a latch member is in the engaged position, and a handle sensor configured to sense when a handle is in the closed position, and a controller operably coupled to the sensors and configured to provide feedback to the operator of at least one of (a) whether the door is in a closed position, the latch member is in an engaged position and the handle member is in a locked position, and (b) whether at least one of the door is in an open position, the latch member is in a disengaged position, and the handle member is in the an unlocked position.
