The handle includes a release device for releasing the lock, which is configured to be operated manually with a pusher element installed on the tubular element. the handle comprises a release device for releasing the lock, which is configured to be operated manually with a pusher element installed on the tubular element.

Security systems and methods are provided. In one example, a security system includes at least one lock configured to protect one or more items from theft from the fixture, wherein the lock comprises a plunger pin configured to be moved between a latched position and an unlatched position, and wherein the fixture is configured to be accessed in the unlatched position. The lock comprises a cam configured to be moved between a locked state and an unlocked state for allowing the plunger pin to be moved between the latched position and the unlatched position when in the unlocked state, wherein the cam is configured to be moved in response to receiving a wireless authorization signal to transition the lock between the locked state and the unlocked state.

An aircraft cabin door system has a cabin door having an outer side and an inner side, a drive device coupled to the cabin door for moving the cabin door into an open position, a first actuation device, a second actuation device, and an emergency chute unit coupled to the cabin door and having an emergency chute and an actuation mechanism. The emergency chute unit can be moved into an active state, in which opening the cabin door leads to activation of the emergency chute, and an inactive state, in which opening the cabin door does not lead to activation of the emergency chute. The emergency chute unit is in the inactive state when the cabin door is opened after actuation of the first actuation device. The emergency chute unit is in the active state when the cabin door is opened after actuation of the second actuation device.

An exit device assembly for coupling to a door having a first side and second side. A first exit device may be coupled to the first side of the door. The first exit device may include a main tube extending from a first end to a second end and a first adjustment tube coupled to the first end of the main tube. The first adjustment tube may be axially adjustable relative to the main tube along a first adjustment axis. An actuator assembly may be supported within an interior of the main tube of the first exit device and may be moveable between a first position and a second position. A latchbolt may be coupled to the actuator assembly and may be moveable between a retracted position and an extended position in which the latchbolt engages a latch.

Disclosed herein is a refrigerator in which the structure of a door is improved. The refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment, a door rotatably coupled to the main body to open or close the storage compartment and having a door frame, a coupling member coupled to the door frame, and a door handle coupled with the coupling member in a sliding manner.

The invention relates to a lock including a locking mechanism having a latch that is movable between a latched position, which is provided for securing a counter-piece movable relative to the locking mechanism, and an unlatched position provided for releasing the counter-piece, and having an actuation element for manually moving the latch into the unlatched position. The lock furthermore includes a coupling element that can be transferred between a coupled state, in which it is coupled to the latch, and a decoupled state, in which it is movable relative to the latch, and that can be moved from a passive position into an active position by means of the actuation element, wherein the latch can be moved into the unlatched position by a movement of the coupling element, which is in the coupled state, from the passive position into the active position by the actuation element.

In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification is embodied in a latch. The latch includes a ball joint. The ball joint includes a stem and a first ball positioned at a proximal end of the stem. The latch includes a casing that is configured to surround a portion of the stem and the first ball and secures the ball joint within an enclosure. The latch further includes a cap plate. The cap plate has a recess or cup that receives the first ball of the ball joint and allows the first ball to swivel within the recess or cup.

A dispenser includes a front panel and a body coupled to the front panel to form an interior cavity. The body includes a wall portion having a top portion. An opening is formed through the top portion, and a housing includes a first housing wall and a second housing wall that each extend from the top portion adjacent the opening and into the interior cavity. The first and second housing walls include first and second rails, respectively, which are coplanar and extend from the respective first and second housing walls in opposing directions relative to each other.

A button assembly for a release system comprises a housing and an actuator coupled to the housing and translatable along a first axis. The actuator comprises a contact surface configured for engagement by an operator to translate the actuator along the first axis, and a rack gear extending along the first axis and away from the contact surface. The button assembly further comprises a pinion gear coupled to the housing and rotatable about a second axis, orthogonal to the first axis. The pinion gear is meshed with the rack gear and with the extension member coupled to the pinion gear. The mesh between the pinion gear and the rack gear facilitates rotation of the pinion gear as the rack gear translates, with the rotation of the pinion gear facilitating movement of the extension member and movement of the latch between the engagement and disengagement positions.
