The present disclosure provides a door lock device for releasably locking a door of a washing machine. The door lock device has first to third latches, and a drive motor and a latch drive mechanism for moving the third latch. The first latch releasably locks the door of the washing machine and is movable in frontward and rearward directions. The movement of the first latch is changed at a change position. The first latch is always biased frontward by a spring. The second latch releasably locks the first latch, which locks the door of the washing machine, at a door locking position. The third latch is moved in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the first latch. The third latch restricts the first latch at the door locking position, or unlocks the first latch after pushing the first latch from the door locking position against the spring.

The present invention relates to a handle for a vehicle door, comprising:

an activation member configured to activate a latch of a vehicle door so as to unlatch the door,

a grip member (3) configured to cooperate with the activation member so as to unlatch the door,

wherein the grip member (3) comprises a gripping part (31), the grip member (3) being movable between; a flushing position in which the gripping part (31) extends flush to an external panel (10) of the door, an active position in which the gripping part (31) projects with respect to the external panel (10) and becomes graspable, and the grip member (3) cooperates with the activation member, and an opening position in which the grip member (3) drives the activation member to activate the latch and unlatch the door, and

a driving mechanism and an actuator lever cooperating with the grip member (3) such that the grip member (3) may be driven between the flushing position and the active position,

the handle being configured such that when the grip member (3) is pulled according to an opening direction, the grip member (3) drives the activation member which in turn activates the latch to unlatch the door.

A locking member for locking a rod in a path for the rod to pass through, wherein the path is formed to have a substantially heart shape, wherein the locking member includes a speed regulation path portion for regulating entrance speed by causing the rod that enters the path to fluctuate, and a locking portion for locking the rod whose entering speed is regulated, wherein the speed regulation path portion extends in a vertical direction that is perpendicular to a width direction of the locking member, and the speed regulation path portion includes rod receiving portions that are disposed at a start edge and an end edge, wherein the rod receiving portions are for regulating the entering speed by receiving the fluctuation in a forward and backward direction of the rod that enters the speed regulation path portion.

Latching motion transfer arrangements may be used to raise an object up and out of the engagement with the ground or other support surface and to lower the object back onto the ground or other support surface. In one exemplary embodiment, the mechanism is caused to lift and latch by applying force in a first direction, a first time, and is caused to release and lower by applying force in the first direction, a second time.

The invention relates to a lock comprising a housing, a rotary latch rotatably supported in the housing, a pawl for the rotary latch and an immobilization element for locking the pawl in an unblocking position and for pressing the rotary latch to a locking hoop received therein in a closed state of the lock, wherein the immobilization element is only guided in a predefined direction of movement along a round path by a guide topology.
