A vehicle storage device includes a panel, a storage unit provided adjacent to the panel, having an opening in a certain part thereof, and capable of storing a person's goods and belongings therein, a lid which can open and close the opening, and a locking device capable of keeping the lid in a closed state. An operation unit includes a design surface that is exposed in a vehicle interior. One end of the operation unit design surface is substantially continuous from a design surface of the panel, and the other end of the operation unit design surface is positioned adjacent to the lid.

A latch assembly for closing a door of a glovebox compartment includes a key cylinder having an eccentric shaft; a striker connected to the key cylinder to form a scotch-yoke connection to the eccentric shaft so that a rotation of the key cylinder is transformed to a linear movement of the striker; and a pair of latching members to lock the door. The pair of latching members includes a first latching member having an operation portion to engage or disengage from the striker, and a second latching member connected to the first latching member to simultaneously move with the first latching member. The key cylinder rotates to switch between an unlocked state in which the striker engages the operation portion and a locked state in which the striker is disengaged from the operation portion.

Latch assemblies are provided with a paddle lever having an outwardly extending actuator flange and a rotary actuator plate which includes a fixed actuator pin extending outwardly from the actuator plate and adapted to being operatively engaged with the actuator flange of the paddle lever when manually moved into the unlatched condition thereof. At least one pair of arcuate spirally patterned and circumferentially separated cam slots are defined in the rotary actuator plate such that a latch pin associated with a latch bolt is operatively received within a selected one of the cam slots. Movement of the paddle lever from the latched condition into the unlatched condition thereof responsively engages the actuator flange with the actuator pin thereby causing rotation of the actuator plate about a rotary axis thereof and movement of the latch pin within the selected one of the cam slots whereby the latch pin is retracted to unlatch a moveable component from a fixed component.

A handle structure (100) includes a shell (102), a handle (200), and a sliding member (300). An aperture (104) is provided on the shell (102). One end of the handle (200) pivots to the shell (102), and the handle (200) includes a pressing portion (210). The sliding member (300) is installed on the shell (102) corresponding to the handle (200). The sliding member (300) includes a hooking portion (310) penetrating the aperture (104) and a pressing area (302) pressed by the pressing portion (210) to move the hooking portion (310) from a first position (S) to a second position (E). By this arrangement, a case body can be easily pulled out and locked.

A handle assembly is provided for use on storage compartment doors of a vehicle. The assembly includes inner and outer housings residing on opposite sides of the door. The handle assembly plunger resides on the inside of the door, rather than between the outside and inside door skins. An exterior handle can be grasped from either side for moving the plunger from an extended latched position to a retracted unlatched position for opening the door. An interior egress handle is provided to open the door from inside the compartment, as a safety feature. A key cylinder on the outer housing allows the handle assembly to be locked to preclude accidental or unauthorized opening of the door. The handle assembly allows the door to be opened by electric remote power and to be closed by slam action.

The invention relates to a door closer mechanism having a receptacle, countersunk in the door frame, for the deadbolt of a device, countersunk in the door, for controlling the deadbolt from the closing position to the opening position by means of a manually controllable actuation member. So that, without an additional key-actuated lock, the closing position can be locked in the closing position and fixed without making the ease of adjustment into the opening position more difficult, the invention provides that the actuation member of the device countersunk in the door is embodied as a handle recess, which in the closing position controls a slide via a rotatably supported angled control piece, and the slide, via a rotatably supported lever, secures the deadbolt in the receptacle in the door frame, and upon actuation of the recessed handle in the door, via the angled control piece and the slide, the deadbolt can be adjusted into the opening position of the door, and the door is enabled to open.

There is provided a handle device. The handle device includes a base member, a handle member, and a swing member. The handle member has a grasp portion. The swing member includes a handle-side abutting portion, a base-side abutting portion, and a rotational pivot portion. As the handle-side abutting portion comes away from a bottom portion of the base member, the base-side abutting portion comes close to the bottom portion of the base member.

A lock device for holding an openable and closable member mounted on an opening portion of a fixed member, includes a base member, an operation member, and a rod. The operation member has an operating portion exposed to a front side of an outer member, and a pivotally supporting portion pivotally supported on the base member. The base member has a hook portion configured to be hooked on a mounting edge portion formed on the outer member, and a locking claw portion configured to be locked on a locking edge portion formed on a rear side of the outer member to restrict the base member from moving in a direction in which the base member moves away from a rear surface of the outer member.

A vehicle storage device includes a panel, a storage unit provided adjacent to the panel, having an opening in a certain part thereof, and capable of storing a person's goods and belongings therein, a lid which can open and close the opening, and a locking device capable of keeping the lid in a closed state. An operation unit includes a design surface that is exposed in a vehicle interior. One end of the operation unit design surface is substantially continuous from a design surface of the panel, and the other end of the operation unit design surface is positioned adjacent to the lid.

The invention relates to a door closer mechanism having a receptacle, countersunk in the door frame, for the deadbolt of a device, countersunk in the door, for controlling the deadbolt from the closing position to the opening position by means of a manually controllable actuation member. So that, without an additional key-actuated lock, the closing position can be locked in the closing position and fixed without making the ease of adjustment into the opening position more difficult, the invention provides that the actuation member of the device countersunk in the door is embodied as a handle recess, which in the closing position controls a slide via a rotatably supported angled control piece, and the slide, via a rotatably supported lever, secures the deadbolt in the receptacle in the door frame, and upon actuation of the recessed handle in the door, via the angled control piece and the slide, the deadbolt can be adjusted into the opening position of the door, and the door is enabled to open.
