Latch and method for operating said latch
A latch includes a latch housing including a first housing portion and a second housing portion separable from the first housing portion. The second housing portion includes a keeper. A first arm member is in rotational communication with the first housing portion. The first arm member is configured to rotate about a first axis between a first position and a second position. A second arm member is in rotational communication with the first arm member. A latch load pin is in rotational communication with the first arm member about a second axis. The latch load pin is configured to mate with the keeper with the first arm member in the first position. The second arm member in the first position is configured to be fixed relative to the first arm member as the first arm member rotates from the first position toward the second position.
Hook Latch With Adjustable Throw
A latch is operable between a disengaged position and an engaged position releasably connecting a latch mounting pin on a first static structural element to a keeper on a second, movable structural element. The latch includes means for adjusting the throw of the hook to accommodate different distances between the latch mounting pin and the keeper due to manufacturing tolerances or different applications. The latch has a tension mechanism, a hook connected to the tension mechanism, and a handle pivotably connected to the tension mechanism and operable to actuate the tension mechanism between engaged and disengaged positions with the keeper. The latch is operable between the engaged and disengaged positions by rotating the handle between a closed position and an open position.
CLEVIS-SENSING ADJUSTABLE HOOK LATCH
A latch mechanism includes a hook, a displaceable handle, and links connected between the handle and hook for the operation of the latch mechanism. The handle and links cooperate with the hook to hold the latch mechanism in a locked position.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LATCH HOOK LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
A latch hook length adjustment arrangement includes a latch hook body comprising a hook and a rod extending from the hook, an adjustment nut configured to threadingly couple to the rod, a plurality of detent pockets disposed in the first side surface of the adjustment nut, a bearing sleeve comprising one or more bearings, and a spring member configured to bias the adjustment nut against the bearing sleeve. The detent pockets and bearing(s) may retain the nut in a rotational position, thereby maintaining the positional length of the hook.
Cooling device having a door closing assistant
A cooling device includes a body, a drawer door attached to the body by rails in a slidable manner, and a door opening assistant for facilitating opening of the drawer door. As an improvement, at least two door closing assistants, that are configured to close the drawer door when the drawer door reaches a predetermined position, are provided on the body and/or the drawer door in such a way that the door opening assistant remains at a location between the at least two door closing assistants.

AIRCRAFT SAFETY KEEPER FOR LATCH UTILIZATION
A latch mechanism is disclosed. In various embodiments, the latch mechanism includes a T-bolt body and a T-bolt comprising a longitudinal rod extending in a longitudinal direction from the T-bolt body and a transverse rod disposed at an end of the longitudinal rod. A safety keeper defining a load slot may be configured to receive the transverse rod whereby the T-bolt is configured to secure the T-bolt body with respect to the safety keeper.
Door And Window Floodproofing Assembly
A door and window floodproofing assembly for preventing flood waters from entering a building includes an inflatable sealer apparatus and a battery cover apparatus. The inflatable sealer apparatus comprises a sealer body having a sealer front side, a sealer back side, and a sealer perimeter defining a sealer inside. The sealer inside is inflatable and dimensioned to fit within a door jamb or a window frame. A sealer flap is flexibly coupled to the sealer perimeter adjacent the sealer back side. The battery cover apparatus comprises a panel having a panel front side, a panel back side, and a panel perimeter. A plurality of latches is coupled to the panel front side adjacent the panel perimeter. A plurality of receivers is selectively engageable with the plurality of latches. Each receiver is coupled to the door jamb or the window frame.
