A door latch (100, 400, 500, 600, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900) resists opening of a door (200) beyond a predetermined amount when it is engaged and also allows the opening of the door when it is disengaged. The door latch includes a catch (220, 220′, 3220) and a base (191) that is connected to a deformable member (140, 3140, 4140, 5140, 6140) at a joint (90). The joint configures the door latch and may include a pin (190). The catch (e.g., a hook) engages a catching portion (e.g., a loop 148, 3148, 6148) of the deformable member when engaged. The deformable member may stretch at least five percent when resisting an intrusion load (F) on the door. The base may mount to a door frame (300), and the catch may mount to the door. A spring (180) may urge the deformable member toward engagement. A shield (280, 2280, 4280, 5280, 6280) may protect the deformable member and resist cutting and may pivot with the deformable member urged by the spring. A finger pocket (296) may be used to overcome the spring. A detent (187) may retain a disengaged configuration (70), and a button (130) on the pin may be depressed to release the detent. A keeper (260) may retain an engaged configuration (50), even when the intrusion load alternates. An armed configuration (40) may automatically transition to the engaged configuration upon the door reaching the predetermined amount and may be manually transitioned to the disengaged configuration upon operator manipulation. The deformable member may hyperelastically deform.

The cam piece (5) comprises a cover part (5A) and a shaft part (5B). The cover part has a central hole (12) for the shaft part. The shaft part (5B) has a shaft pin (15), which is set into the central hole (12). The shaft part also has a connecting part 19, which is arranged to be in contact with the electronic actuator 4. The cam piece further comprises a spring (9) which is between the shaft pin (15) and the cover part (5A). The spring comprises a first end (9A) and a second end (9B). The first end 9A is arranged to be in contact with the cover part 5A. The second end 9B is arranged to be in contact with the shaft part 5B. The spring is arranged to transmit turning force of the electronic actuator from the shaft pin 15 to the cover part 5A in the direction of said locking state.

A lock structure is provided for use with a dispenser comprising a housing have an interior volume for holding a dispensable product, the housing having openable part for providing access to the interior of the housing. The lock structure has a lock housing, a latch operable between a locked position and an unlocked position, a lock cylinder structure comprising a rotation means insert portion, and a resilient member for biasing the latch toward the locked position. The lock structure is provided with an overload protection mechanism formed by a resilient obstruction positioned to define an extreme position that corresponds to the locked or unlocked position of the latch and is adapted to give way upon experiencing an overload force to allow the lock cylinder structure to rotate beyond the extreme position.

Provided is technology whereby it is possible to avoid interference between a secondary lever and a hood retraction structure upon the retraction of a pop-up hood. A hood retraction structure includes: a slider provided at a front side lower portion of a hood; and a rai that is provided on an upper portion of a striker body constituting a hood locking mechanism, and is movable in a longitudinal direction relative to the slider. The slider has a notch having an opening end provided by being cut in a concave shape from a vehicle front side toward a vehicle rear side, and the notch constitutes the hood locking mechanism, and is provided at a position corresponding to an upper portion of a secondary lever that regulates upward movement of the striker body.

A vehicle handle device configured to operate a door lock device by transmitting an operation force of an operator via a cable device, the vehicle handle device includes an operation member configured to apply the operation force to the cable device by operation of the operator, and a handle case configured to accommodate the operation member. The handle case includes a cable fixing base portion in which the cable device is configured to be disposed, a cap portion configured to fix the cable device to the cable fixing base portion, and a hinge portion which is provided on the cable fixing base portion and the cap portion and is configured to rotate the cap portion relative to the cable fixing base portion.

The electronic actuator of an electronic padlock according to the invention is arranged to turn the cam piece (5) to release the latch parts (7) from a locking state and to turn the cam piece (5) to hold the latch parts (7) in the locking state. The cam piece (5) comprises a cover part (5A) and a shaft part (5B). The cover part has a central hole (12) for the shaft part. The shaft part (5B) has a shaft pin (15), which is set into the central hole (12). The shaft part also has a connecting part 19, which is arranged to be in contact with the electronic actuator 4. The cam piece further comprises a spring (9,) which is between the shaft pin (15) and the cover part (5A). The spring comprises a first end (9A) and a second end (9B). The first end 9A is arranged to be in contact with the cover part 5A. The second end 9B is arranged to be in contact with the shaft part 5B. The spring is arranged to transmit turning force of the electronic actuator from the shaft pin 15 to the cover part 5A in the direction of said locking state.

A lock cylinder includes a housing, in which a sleeve having a cylinder core accommodated therein is rotatably supported. The cylinder core has spring-loaded tumblers forming a form closure with recesses arranged in the sleeve when a key engaging the tumblers is removed. Inside the housing, the sleeve is coupled to a coupling element by means of a disengaging sleeve. The coupling element is supported inside the housing and connected to a bearing in a rotationally-fixed manner. The bearing supports an output element. At least one of the sleeve and the coupling element forms a form closure with the bearing to block the rotation of the output element if an improper object is used in operative connection with the cylinder core.

A bolt assembly usable in a mortise lock. The assembly includes a bolt and tailpiece that are pivotable relative to one another. In one embodiment, the bolt and tailpiece are joined by a pin that permits the components to pivot relative to one another.

An embodiment retractable outside door handle assembly includes a handle unit including an outside handle having a pushing portion and mounted on a handle housing, wherein the outside handle is configured to protrude by rotating in a first direction, an actuator including an operation rod configured to selectively push the pushing portion, a door latch lever rotatably mounted on the handle housing and configured to rotate during protrusion of the outside handle by operation of the actuator, and a damage prevention mechanism between the operation rod and the pushing portion and configured to push the pushing portion when the actuator is operated, wherein the damage prevention mechanism is configured to prevent a pushing force of the pushing portion from being transmitted to the operation rod when the outside handle rotates in a second direction opposite the first direction in a protruded state.
