A securable pet door is disclosed. The securable pet door may comprise at least one door, at least one knob, one or more windows, at least one frame, and/or at least one hinge. The knob comprises a latch for secure closing. When the pet door comprises at least one hinge, the hinge(s) may be inserted into at least one hinge recess so that the door may be securely locked via at least one locking mechanism. The different elements of the securable pet door are configured to be oriented in a predetermined, securable, or customizable manner. The door is configured to open from, slide into, revolve within, or move in some other non-limiting equivalent way from or relative to a frame.

There is provided a straddle-type vehicle including: a battery case having an accommodation space that accommodates a battery pack and an opening for attaching and detaching the battery pack via the opening that opens the accommodation space; a pressing mechanism including an abutting member capable of abutting the battery pack in a state where the battery pack is accommodated in the accommodation space of the battery case, and a retainer that holds the abutting member abutting the battery pack while pressing the abutting member toward the battery pack; and a lid body connected to the battery case via the pressing mechanism and that opens and closes the opening of the battery case.

According to one aspect of the invention, a latch is configured to fix a panel relative to a frame. The latch includes a housing configured for engagement to the panel. The housing defines an aperture extending along a longitudinal axis, and further defines a cam surface facing in a direction along the longitudinal axis. A shaft extends within the aperture of the housing and along the longitudinal axis. The shaft is mounted for at least one of rotational movement relative to the housing about the longitudinal axis and axial movement relative to the housing along the longitudinal axis. A barrier wall is mounted for axial movement relative to the housing along the longitudinal axis. The barrier wall at least partially overlaps with the housing along the longitudinal axis. A shaft surface extends radially outwardly from the shaft relative to the longitudinal axis. The shaft surface contacts the cam surface defined by the housing. The shaft is configured to be coupled to a pawl for engagement of the frame. The cam surface defined by the housing is configured to guide the movement of the shaft relative to the housing along the longitudinal axis or about the longitudinal axis as the shaft is moved within the aperture defined by the housing along the longitudinal axis or about the longitudinal axis and as the shaft surface of the shaft and the cam surface of the housing move relative to one another, such that the pawl can engage or disengage the frame. The barrier wall and the housing move relative to one another along the longitudinal axis in a range of relative positions, and the barrier wall and housing together inhibit the ingress of unwanted materials into the aperture of the housing throughout the range of relative positions.

A lock comprising a housing assembly, an actuatable lock assembly and a locking shell assembly. The housing assembly has a cavity and a bore. The actuatable lock assembly is rotatable between a closed orientation and an open orientation, and includes an outer body and an inner body. The inner body has a knob and an elongated shaft with an axial pin that interfaces with a slot in the outer body. The locking shell assembly has a shell housing bore extending therethrough. A rear portion of the shell housing has a slot with a longitudinal first portion and a transverse second portion. The axial pin is slidably movable along the longitudinal first portion and slidably movable along the transverse second portion upon rotation of the inner body relative to the shell housing.

A door latching or locking system is provided whereby the user locks and unlocks the system using their feet.

A locking bracket assembly prevents unauthorized opening of an irrigation timer box of the type having a cam lock mounted to a hinged cover. The locking bracket assembly includes a lower mounting bracket, locking hardware for attaching the lower mounting bracket to an outer surface of the timer box, and a vertical extension bracket for vertically adjustable attachment to the lower mounting bracket. An upper length of the vertical extension bracket extends at an acute angle from a lower length that is configured for parallel alignment with both the lower mounting bracket and a sidewall of the timer box. When the cover of the timer box is closed, the acute angle allows the upper length of the vertical extension bracket to pass into the timer box and emerge through a slot cut in the cover, and the cam lock can then be rotated to engage a slot formed in part of the upper length of the vertical extension bracket that remains within the timer box. An arresting tab and guide slot prevent misalignment of the brackets and allow height adjustment of the assembly to accommodate various timer box sizes.

A lever gate latch pull system with a pivoting T-shaped lever has two aligned first and second arms affixed to a swinging base foaming a T with a pivot hole proximate the junction of the aligned first and second arms and the swinging base. The T-shaped lever is pivotally affixed to a fence post to pivot the arms up and down as the swinging base correspondingly moves in a side to side upward arc. Affixed to the end of the swinging base is a weighted chain extending to and secured via a fastener to the free end portion of the pivotal latch lever of the gate latch in the resting position. The weighted chain provides pressure on the pivotal latch lever to stay in the latched position until lifted by the T-shaped lever. In operation, when the T-shaped lever handle first or second arms are positioned just beneath the top of the fence and depressed, they pivot the swinging base in an upward arc to pull the chain up to unlatch the gate latch to open the gate from either side.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a latch assembly for an access panel of a housing includes a latch structure having a first surface, a second surface, and an intermediate step therebetween. The latch assembly also includes a fastener configured to facilitate coupling of the first surface to the access panel, and a locking system configured to engage with a structural support of the housing via the second surface. The locking system is configured to be rotated to secure the second surface to the structural support and rotated to release the second surface from the structural support.

A latch is provided for latching the doors of cubicles or stalls provided in public washrooms. The latch includes a body mounted within a cavity formed between the inner and outer door surfaces, the body rotatably mounting a spindle having a latching member mounted at one end. Biasing means in the form of one or more cam followers acting on a corresponding number of cam surfaces is provided between the body and the spindle to hold the spindle in a closed position but, once displaced from the closed position, to bias the spindle toward a fully open position.

A cabinet locking device prevents undesirable movement of the cabinet drawer or pivotably swinging cabinet door from a closed position to an opened position relatively to the cabinet stationary base. The cabinet locking device includes a screw busing, comprising a an inner and outer threads and a spline, and a locking member, comprising an extended portion, which includes an outer thread, and a locking member head, which includes a first and second projections.
