SELF-ALIGNING MODULAR LATCH
A container is disclosed that has a housing and a lid. The lid has a planar portion and a latch that is freely movable parallel to the planar portion of the lid. The latch has a retention feature and a first reference surface that is perpendicular to the planar portion of the lid. There is a latch mechanism coupled to the housing that has an engagement element configured to engage the retention feature of the latch and a first alignment feature having a first alignment surface. The first alignment feature is configured to laterally displace the latch in a first direction such that the first reference surface aligns with the first alignment surface when the lid is brought together with the housing with the fastener laterally displaced away from the engagement element in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction.
Interlock device of ring main unit
An interlock device of a ring main unit configured to be attached to an inner frame of the ring main unit controls an attachment and detachment of a cable cover using a spring, thereby including an effect of facilitating the attachment and detachment of the cable cover through an elastic force of the spring.

Adjustable pressure relief latch
A latch including a housing having side members each having an elongated slot, a bolt mounted rotatably to the housing and positioned between the side members of the housing, an adjustment mechanism, and a pin and roller positioned slidably within the elongated slots of the side members of the housing. The adjustment mechanism includes a compression spring, a central cap for receiving the pin and roller therethrough, and a nut for adjusting the load on the compression spring. The bolt is moveable between a first, closed position, in which the pin and roller are engaged with the bolt, and a second open position, in which the pin and roller are disengaged from the bolt. The latch can be opened automatically when a defined load, as adjusted by the adjustment mechanism, is provided on the bolt to disengage the pin and roller from the bolt.
Temporary door hardware system and door
A temporary door hardware system includes a latch assembly securable between a first side component and a second side component when the first and second side component are installed in the door. The latch assembly is dimensioned for integration with an opening in an door frame. The latch assembly includes first assembled position relative to the first and second side components. The latch assembly includes a second assembled position relative to the first and second side components. The latch assembly in the first assembled position extends from the first and second side components a greater distance than the latch assembly in the second position. Further disclosed is a door utilizing the latch assembly.
REVERSIBLE LATCHBOLT
A latch bolt with a bolt head that is removably mounted on a latch tail through the use of a bolt head adjustment mechanism. The bolt head adjustment mechanism may comprise one or more locking members (e.g., within the bolt head, the latch tail, and/or independent from the other components of the latch bolt) that allow the bolt head to be removed, rotated, and reassembled while the latch bolt is located within the case of the mortise lock. The bolt head may comprise an anti-friction latch that is configured to pivot within the flanges of the bolt head in a way that maintains contact between the anti-friction lock and the strike plate.
ARMREST ASSEMBLY WITH LID WITH LATCH RELEASE HANDLE
An armrest assembly includes an armrest and a lid mounted on the armrest for relative rotational movement between a closed and open positions. The lid includes a handle cradle with handle guides on opposed sides and an intermediate inner guide. A handle is located in the handle cradle for relative movement between a latch position and a release position. The handle includes a latch. The latch retains the lid in the closed position when the handle is in the latch position. The handle includes a clip that engages a slot on the lid to retain the handle in the handle cradle. The handle also includes guide channels on opposed sides. The guide channels engage the handle guides. The handle includes an intermediate inner guide space. The inner guide space engages the inner guide. The armrest assembly also includes a spring that biases the handle into the latch position.
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.
DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY
A door latch assembly includes a housing, an inside and outside handle operably coupled with the housing, and a latch plunger. A latch cam is operably coupled with the inside and outside handles, and the latch cam further includes a crank arm slidably disposed against an inclined surface of a plunger leg operably coupled to the latch plunger. A biasing member urges the latch plunger to an extended position, wherein rotation of the inside or outside door latch handle in a first direction rotates the crank arm of the latch cam and displaces the plunger leg of the latch plunger and the latch plunger to a retracted position against the urging of the biasing member.
