Lockset and Pallet Loading Bin Having Same
A lockset and a pallet loading bin an associated lock hole. The lockset comprises a lock bar and a handle comprising a connection end. A lock bar is provided with a hook member to interlock with the lock hole and a connection portion. The lock bar is rotatably connected via the connection portion, to a bin body of the pallet loading bin. Rotating the lock bar around the connection portion parallel to an outer surface of the bin body causes the hook member to extend into or retract from the lock hole, thereby interlocking or releasing the lockset. The handle is rotatably connected via the connection end, to a second end of the lock bar opposite to the first end of the lock bar. Rotating the handle around the connection end positions the handle close to or away from the outer surface of the bin body.
Drawer latch system
A drawer assembly including a drawer, a first drawer slide carried by the drawer and a second drawer slide also carried by the drawer. Both the first and second drawer slide each include a latch lever. The drawer assembly additionally includes a drawer pull latch engaged with both latch levers such that upon movement of the drawer pull latch, opening of the drawer is permitted.
FAN COWL LATCH CONCEPT FOR FUSELAGE MOUNTED POWER PLANT
An aircraft cowl arrangement may comprise a first half, and a second half rotatable between an open position and a closed position, a first seal coupled to the first half, a second seal coupled to the second half, and a latch arrangement for preventing relative movement between the first half and the second half. The latch arrangement may comprise a tie rod comprising a first end coupled to the first half, a second end, and a frame having an opening for receiving the second end of the tie rod, a latch handle rotatably mounted to the frame, and a hook operably coupled to the latch handle, wherein the latch handle is configured to move between a first position wherein the hook is engaged with the second end of the tie rod and a second position wherein the hook is disengaged from the second end of the tie rod.
INTERNALLY DISMANTLED ANTI-TYPHOON SOUNDPROOF HORIZONTAL SLIDING WINDOW
An internally dismantled anti-typhoon soundproof horizontal sliding window, which is fastened to an outer frame body and is provided with at least one outer sliding window and an inner sliding window; it is characterized in that: the outer side of the outer frame body is provided with at least one outer fixing column, an elastically movable top plate is provided on the inside and outside of the outer fixed column; when the two windows are closed, a central control lock can be used to drive the top plate to move through the inner columns of the outer and inner windows inwardly, the top plate squeezes the two inner column clamps tightly; the outer column of the outer frame body is provided with a hook, which can be used for the outer sliding window and the outer column of the inner sliding window; a snap cover that seals the grooves of the outer frame; thus, the window structure can be tightly closed in an all-round way, so as to meet the requirements of windproof, rainproof and sound insulation of the strong typhoon level.
Integrated sash lock and tilt latch combination with improved interconnection capability therebetween
A combination sash lock and tilt latch secures a sash window that is slidable and tiltable with respect to a master window frame. The fastener includes a lock assembly and latch assembly. The lock assembly is releasably mounted upon the sash window meeting rail without screws, using legs received within corresponding openings in the rail. The lock assembly is releasably secured thereto by a spring causing engagement between the legs and rail openings. The lock assembly includes a pivotable cam to releasably engage a keeper on the master frame, and a pivotable arm extending into the meeting rail. The latch assembly includes biasing means and a latch member with a plurality of openings, each configured to receive the post of the lock assembly, within the meeting rail, with the lock assembly installed thereon in any one of a plurality of positions corresponding to said openings in said latch member.
WINDOW LOCKING DEVICE AND SYSTEM
A locking device for a sash window having a window sash moveably mounted in a window frame, the locking device comprising a body and a locking element moveable between an unlocked position and a locked position. The device includes a sensor system to detect whether the window sash is in a closed position in the window frame and also to detect whether the locking element is in the locked position. The device includes a first sensor comprising a first lock sensor component mounted for movement with the locking element and a second lock sensor component mounted to the body. The device also includes a second sensor comprising a first window sensor component arranged to be mounted to the sash window and a second window sensor component mounted to the body. The device includes a detent mechanism which acts with the positional arrangement of the sensors to provide a reliable system.
Barrier With Structurally Different Corner Gate Connections
A barrier that includes four structurally different corner connections for fixing a gate frame of the barrier to and between opposing vertical surfaces. A first connection includes a headed straight pin engaging a pivot hook and socket, a second connection includes a headed straight pin engaging a socket, a third connection includes headless bent pin engaging a socket and a limiter, and a fourth connection includes a headless bent pin engaging a socket.
KEEPER AND AIRCRAFT WITH SUCH KEEPER
The invention involves a keeper (20) to interact with a bolt (16) of a lock (10);
The keeper includes a bracket (22) for attachment to a structure, and a keeper rod (24) secured to the bracket, the keeper rod extending from one surface (27) of the bracket.
In the keeper, a shaft (32) is attached to the bracket and can rotate freely relative to the bracket such that it extends in a longitudinal direction (X); a blade (40) is mounted on the shaft (32) on one side of the bracket near the keeper rod in such a way as to always rotate along with the shaft; an angular position indicator (46) is also mounted so as to always rotate along with the shaft; the blade being so positioned that it can be rotated by the latch when the latch hooks on to or releases from the keeper rod, and the angular position indicator (46) being capable of indicating the angular position of the blade.
The invention is for example intended to be used on an aircraft door such as that of a helicopter.
LOCK DEVICE
The present invention discloses a casing that has a generally cylindrical configuration having a bottom side that includes a bottom side cavity. The bottom side has a topography that is generally a negative topography of a surface of an article with which the bottom side associates. The topography of the bottom side is defined by a plurality of offset surfaces that define raised edges, with the offset surfaces and resulting raised edges forming reliefs.
Combination Forced Entry Resistant Sash Lock and Tilt Latch, Also Functioning as a Window Opening Control Device
A window fastener includes a forced-entry-resistant sash lock and tilt latch assembly. The sash lock is actuated to engage a keeper to lock the closed sash window. The tilt latch assembly permits sliding of the unlocked window, and prevents tilting until the tilt latch assembly is actuated by the interconnected sash lock. The sash lock and tilt latch assembly cooperate with a stop member secured to a master window frame, to limit opening of the window to a position between the closed position and a full open position, through contact of the latch assembly with a portion of the stop member. The sash lock is configured to actuate the latch assembly into a cocked position, permitting window movement beyond the limited position, and selective contact between the latch assembly and stop member that triggers latch assembly repositioning, causing automatic locking of the sash window when moved into the closed position.
