The invention relates to a motor vehicle lock, in particular a motor vehicle door lock, which is equipped with a locking mechanism (1, 2) composed, essentially, of a rotary latch (1) and a pawl (2). Furthermore, a securing device (5, 6, 7, 8) and and an emergency actuation element (9, 10, 11) for the securing device are realized. The securing device (5, 6, 7, 8) has at least one securing lever (5), which can be acted upon both by a first motor drive (7) and by an emergency actuation lever (10) as part of the emergency actuation element (9, 10, 11). According to the invention, the first securing lever (5) has a spring (5a) for positioning the first securing lever.

A product dispenser comprises first and second housing parts (11, 12) and a lock mechanism. The lock mechanism is configured to lock the first and second housing parts together with one another, and comprises: a cradle (30), the cradle housing at least one lock arm (20); an aperture (80) through the first housing part and leading into the cradle; a rotatable guiding part (40) located within the aperture and the cradle; a key (70) that cooperates with the rotatable guiding part; and a mating part of the second housing part, the mating part configured to engage with an end (21) of each lock arm to lock the first and second housing parts together, and wherein the key is rotatable to rotate the rotatable guiding part within the aperture and actuate each lock arm to disengage from the mating part, unlocking the first and second housing parts from one another.

There is provided a lock lever including: a base portion having an operation portion; a rotation shaft portion that is pivotally supported by the lid body and that allows the base portion to rotate; a lock portion that is configured to rotate together with the base portion and that is configured to be locked to or unlocked from the fixed body in accordance with rotation; and an elastic piece that extends from the base portion and that has a tip end side configured to elastically contact the lid body to bias the lock portion in a direction to lock the lock portion. The elastic piece extends from the base portion so as to approach the rotation shaft portion, and extends so as to be separated from the rotation shaft portion toward a tip end on the way when viewed in a rotation axis direction.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a selectively operated safety latch having an active mode and a stowed mode. In an illustrative example, a retractable safety latch may include a tongue element extending in a first plane and a base element extending in a second plane. The tongue element, for example, may include multiple mode selection slots. The base element may include a brace slot. For example, one of the multiple mode selection slots and the brace slot may receive a security pin long a longitudinal axis so that a predetermined mode is selected. In the active mode, the tongue element extends away from the base element to releasably engage a striker element. In the inactive mode, the first plane and the second plane are substantially parallel such that the tongue element is prevented from engaging the striker element. Various embodiments may advantageously provide quick switching security latch operations.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock comprising a locking mechanism consisting essentially of a rotary latch and a pawl, further comprising an actuation lever mechanism (2a, 2b) that acts on the pawl, and a child safety device (3) that includes a child safety lever (4) to which the force of a spring (5) is applied. According to the invention, the child safety lever (4) and the spring (5) are designed as a subassembly (4, 5).

There is provided a locking assembly mountable to a dispenser having a base part and a cover movable relative to each other between a closed configuration and an open configuration. The locking assembly is configured to lock the base part and the cover in the closed configuration when mounted to the dispenser and comprises an unlocking component mountable to one of the base part and the cover and having an unlocking body translatable to configure the locking assembly into an unlocked configuration; and a pushbutton at least partially contained in the unlocking body. The locking assembly is selectively configurable into a key-opening configuration wherein the pushbutton is prevented from translation and in a pushbutton-opening configuration wherein pressure on the pushbutton engages the unlocking body into translation to configure the locking assembly into the unlocked configuration.

An all-plastic, tumbler-free cam lock includes a cylindrical lock body with a flange extending radially from the distal end to be glued to a surface surrounding a mounting hole. The lock body has a bore extending axially and a central spindle received coaxially in the bore. A key has a cylindrical tubular key body insertable concentrically between the lock body shoulder and the distal end of the spindle. A pair of outer key lugs extend radially outwardly from the tubular key body to pass through the key channels of an interior shoulder of the lock body, thus permitting access only by one key configuration. A third key lug extends radially inwardly from the inner surface of the tubular key body to engage a keyway channel of the spindle.

Latch assemblies to secure a door, drawer, or other enclosure are disclosed. An assembly may include a latch and a catch. A latch arm is bendable to transition between an engaging position and a disengaged position. The latch may include a curved flexible support to provide a desired resistance to bending of the latch arm, and the flexible support may be vertically separated from the latch arm. The latch may be made of a unitary piece.

An enclosure structure including an enclosure body, a handle, and a slot. The enclosure body includes a first end portion and a second end portion that are disposed oppositely to each other. The enclosure body is provided with a clearance hole, and the clearance hole is disposed between the first end portion and the second end portion, and the handle is rotatably disposed on the enclosure body and is disposed between the clearance hole and the first end portion. The handle includes an elastic connecting portion, a boss, and a pressing portion. The pressing portion is configured to control a limiting member to be stuck in or detached from the slot. The elastic connecting portion protrudes out of the enclosure body and two ends thereof are connected to the enclosure body and the boss, respectively; the boss and the enclosure body are spaced apart.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock (1) which comprises a locking mechanism having a rotary latch and at least one pawl, and a first actuating lever (8), the locking mechanism being at least indirectly unlockable by means of the actuating lever (8), and the locking mechanism further having a locking device (21). The actuating lever (8) can be disengaged from the locking mechanism by means of the locking device (21). An additional motor vehicle door lock (2) is provided, and said vehicle door lock (2) can be actuated by means of the actuating lever (8). The actuating lever chain to the additional motor vehicle lock (2) can be disengaged by means of the locking device (21).
