A hold open rod includes an inner member, an outer member configured to have the inner member slide in and out of the outer member, and a locking mechanism configured to selectively lock the inner member and the outer member with respect to each other. The locking mechanism includes a locking plug configured to move axially along an axis of the inner member and the outer member to a locking position and an unlocking position, a locking dog configured to move radially between a locking position and an unlocking position as a result of a camming action with the locking plug as the locking plug moves axially, and a lock transfer bar operatively connected to the locking plug and configured to move the locking plug to the locking position and the unlocking position when the lock transfer bar is moved.

The present invention prevents or suppresses a grommet from detaching from a ball socket. The grommet that has a cover for covering a harness led and extended outside a cap of the ball socket is configured by including a boot part that covers the harness inside the cap and that is formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape opened to an electric motor side, a connection cylindrical part that is disposed inside a harness insertion hole that connects the boot part and the cover and in which the harness is inserted, and a falling-out prevention part that is formed in the boot part that engages the cap and that restricts the movement of the boot part toward the harness insertion hole side.

A lock assembly is provided for a window having a first sash and a second sash. The lock assembly comprises an elongate strip configured to be coupled to the first sash. The elongate strip has a plurality of recesses defined along a length of the elongate strip. The lock assembly also includes a lock member configured to be coupled to the second sash and operable to move along the length of the elongate strip. The lock member includes a biasing member and a coupler biased in a direction of the elongate strip by the biasing member. The coupler is configured to enter each of the plurality of recesses to selectively lock the lock member to the elongate strip.

A motor vehicle has a tailgate arranged pivotably on a body. The tailgate in a closed position closes a cargo space opening of the body at the rear and in an open position at least partially exposes the cargo space opening. A tailgate latch locks the closed position of the tailgate and has a closing element and a locking mechanism interacting with the closing element in the closed position. In order to make available a variable cargo space size, in which an open position of the tailgate can be secured, a support arm is pivotably articulated with one end between a rest position, in which the support arm is immovably secured, and a functional position, in which the support arm pivots in the direction of the locking mechanism, and is capable of being fixed with another end to the locking mechanism by an actuation of the locking mechanism.

A hold open rod assembly includes an outer tubular structure and an inner tubular structure positioned for telescoping movement relative to the outer tubular structure. A locking mechanism retains the hold open rod assembly in an extended state to support a panel of an aircraft in an open position at the selection of a user.

An illustrated view of an exemplary pipe gate for securely and safely keeping a gate of a fence in an open position. The pipe gate is useful for safely and easily keeping the gate of the fence in the open position. Instead of using bricks, sticks, stumps or tying the gate back, each of these are commonly used currently, the gate of the fence can be opened to any size opening and with the placement of the pipe gate, the gate remains open without creating a safety hazard for those in the general area. The pipe gate has a first portion that is configured to receive a rod and then securely coupling the rod at a desired length by inserting and securely coupling a bolt thru a hole in the first portion. The first portion has a hook end to hook onto a rail of a gate and may have a coupling device such as a clamp to secure the pipe gate to the gate. The end of the rod is preferably pointed and is securely coupled to the ground.
