A latch for a cabinet is described. The latch may be used to secure a door of the cabinet in a closed position. The latch includes a pawl member that pivots or rotates relative to a pivot plate. The pawl member includes a pawl tip generally opposite of a pawl fulcrum end. The latch includes a striker. The pawl member engages and disengages with the striker. The latch includes a handle that is configured to move. The handle includes an upper end. The upper end is configured to contact the pawl lever end to cause the pawl member to pivot or rotate relative to the pivot plate to disengage the pawl member from the striker.

A console box includes a box body with an opening, a pair of lids hinged to the box body to open and close the opening, and a lock mechanism configured to lock the lids in closed positions for closing the opening. The lock mechanism includes a first operation member configured to unlock the pair of lids separately from each other, and a second operation member configured to unlock the pair lids simultaneously with each other.

A lever gate latch pull system with a pivoting Z shaped lever having a bent first arm with lever handle pivotally affixed to a fence post to pivot up and down. Opposite the first lever arm is a pivoting bent second arm affixed to a chain extending to and secured via a fastener to a gate latch pivotal latch lever. When the lever handle first arm is depressed, the second lever arm elevates to pull the chain up to unlatch the gate latch to open the gate. The lever handle is positioned usually just beneath the top of the fence, allowing a user to depress it from both sides of the latched gate to raise the chain to unlatch the gate latch; thereby enabling one to unlatch a locked gate without having to go around to unlatch the gate.

A home appliance in which an opening and closing operation of a door and a turning operation of a handle are connected through five joints, so that the turning operation of the handle can be performed smoothly, and a latch for fixing the door to a body moves to a position parallel to the door when the door is opened, so that a user is prevented from being interfered with the latch while opening the door and using a cavity of the home appliance.

A system for operating an aircraft door includes an operating handle having a lever and a grip, a slide arming means movable between a first position representing an armed state and a second position representing a disarmed state, a control unit coupled with the slide arming means, warning means arranged in the vicinity of the slide arming means and a sensor. The sensor is adapted for detecting the proximity of a hand of a user in a field around the grip, which field covers a distance of at least 10 cm and not exceeding 50 cm to the grip, and for producing a proximity signal representing the proximity of a hand of a person. The control unit is adapted for operating the warning means on receiving the proximity signal of the sensor to attention to the slide arming means when the slide arming means is in the first position.

A top pull gravity latch device to selectively secure a gate in a closed position to block the opening or portal in a fence, wall or other barrier comprising a latch assembly including a latch actuator assembly, intermediate pull actuator assembly and pivotal latch member each movable between a first and second position and a keeper assembly including a striker pin to selectively engage the pivotal latch member to move the pivotal latch member from the first to second position when the keeper assembly is moved from the second to first position and back to the first position wherein the gate is securely closed when the latch actuator assembly, intermediate pull actuator assembly, pivot latch member of the latch assembly and the striker pin of the keeper assembly are all in the first position and wherein the intermediate pull actuator assembly is moved from the first to second position to move the pivotal latch member from the first to second position clearing the striker pin of the keeper assembly to be moved from the first to second position to allow the gate to be opened.

A lid fastening device configured to fasten a lid of an object member and capable of opening and closing an opening formed in the object member includes a knob, and a rod configured to slide from an initial position when the knob is pushed. In addition, the device includes strikers each having an engagement claw capable of engaging engagement portions formed in the object member and each being configured to rotate between an initial position in which each of the engagement claws engages the engagement portions to produce a fastened condition of the lid and a released position in which the fastened condition of the lid is released due to a sliding motion of the rod. Further, the device includes return springs that are configured to bias each of the strikers rotated to the released position so as to return the same to the initial position with the rod.

A door handle assembly comprises a handle and a release plate in mechanical communication with the handle such that actuation of the handle causes rotation of the release plate. The release plate defines a window configured to (i) receive a projection of a trip lever of a door latch assembly of a door such that rotation of the release plate causes rotation of the trip lever to facilitate rotation of a rotor of the door latch assembly to a disengaged position and (ii) receive and secure a door linkage rod assembly comprising a linkage rod that is connectable to a trip lever of a door latch assembly of a door such that rotation of the release plate causes actuation of the linkage rod to rotate the trip lever to facilitation rotation of a rotor of the door latch assembly to a disengaged position.

A multi-function latch and latch bolt are configured as 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.
