Securing mechanism for a sliding panel
A sliding door includes a panel configured to slide along a path; a holding member including an abutting portion and defining a channel configured for receiving therein at least a segment of the panel; and a stop member being displaceable between an engaged state in which a first end of the stop member engages the abutting portion and a second end of the stop member engages the segment thereby precluding sliding of the panel in a direction away from the holding member and a disengaged state in which the stop member allows sliding of the panel.
Self-locking guillotine door
The self-locking guillotine door assembly includes a door, a locking mechanism attached to the door, and a cable attached to the locking mechanism. Pulling the cable releases the locking mechanism and lifts the locking mechanism and door. Pushing up on the bottom of the door locks the locking mechanism and resists lifting the door. The locking mechanism can include a post, a vertical slide with a slot, connector bars and cams such that when the cable is pulled, the cable lifts the vertical slide to lift proximal ends of the connector bars, which pivots the cams to release the locking mechanism. When the enclosure door is pushed up from the bottom, the locking mechanism pivots the cams towards the top of the enclosure door to lock the locking mechanism and resist lifting of the enclosure door.
RUN-UP TYPE SWING-OUT DOOR RETAINER STRUCTURE
A run-up type swing-out door retainer structure includes in a door retainer for a vehicle, a body retainer mounted at a body of the vehicle; and a door retainer mounted at a door of the vehicle to abut the body retainer. A depression formed at the end portion of the body retainer and a protrusion formed at the end portion of the door retainer are divided into an inclined section and a round section to abut each other.
RETROFIT LATCH ADAPTER
A retrofit latch adapter is configured to replace a pre-existing roller head latch assembly of a pre-existing exit device. The retrofit latch adapter may include a flat latch head that may provide additional security for a door compared with the pre-existing roller head pre-existing latch assembly.
Fastening devices for explosion-proof enclosures
An enclosure can include a top enclosure portion having a top flange and a first top engagement feature. The enclosure can also include a bottom enclosure portion mechanically coupled to the top enclosure portion, where the bottom enclosure portion has a bottom flange that mechanically couples to the top flange and a first bottom engagement feature that mechanically couples to the first top engagement feature. The enclosure can further include a first fastening device mechanically and movably coupled to the first top engagement feature and the first bottom engagement feature. The first fastening device, in an engaged position, can maintain a flame path between the top flange and the bottom flange. The first fastening device, in a disengaged position, can fail to maintain a flame path between the top flange and the bottom flange.
LOCKING DEVICE AND REFRIGERATOR USING THE SAME
The invention discloses a locking device and a refrigerator, wherein the locking device comprises a first lock block and a second lock block; the first lock block comprises a base and a tongue; the second lock block comprises an accommodating cavity, a clamping block, a return spring and a pushing block; the pushing block pushes the clamping block to slide in the sliding groove; and the tongue enters the tongue channel to be engaged with the clamping block so that the two lock blocks are engaged with each other. The locking device has the function of automatically adjusting the height difference between different cabinet doors and cabinet bodies, and is therefore more flexibly suitable for locking various cabinets or refrigerators.
LOCK, LOCK MEMBER, LOCK MECHANISM HAVING THE LOCK MEMBER, AND SAFE HAVING THE LOCK, LOCK MEMBER, AND LOCK MECHANISM
A conventional safe proper becomes useless when unable to be locked or unlocked, thereby causing a waste of resources. Locks capable of being locked/unlocked are provided to unfasten a common fastening member, so as to open a door or lid from the body, allow each lock to be freely mounted on and dismounted from a lock mounting portion, and dispose a false lock on each lock. An operating means of locking/unlocking any one of the locks is provided to enable persistent use of a common latch disposed at an identity opening of a safe proper.
Doorstop for restricting entry
Provided herein is a doorstop that may be utilized to prevent opening of a door. Generally, the doorstop is configured for attachment near a bottom edge of a pull side of a door. The doorstop has a deployable wedge or stop element (e.g., stop cylinder) that moves from a suspended position, above a floor surface, to a deployed position in contact with a floor surface. After contacting the floor surface, any attempt to open the door imparts a rotation on the stop element. A radial dimension of the stop element increases along a length of a surface that contact the floor surface. In this regard, rotating the stop element provides an upward lift to the door, which is counteracted by hinges of the door. That is, rotating the stop element results in the door wedging, which prevents opening the door.
Lock, lock member, lock mechanism having the lock member, and safe having the lock, lock member, and lock mechanism
A conventional safe proper becomes useless when unable to be locked or unlocked, thereby causing a waste of resources. Locks capable of being locked/unlocked are provided to unfasten a common fastening member, so as to open a door or lid from the body, allow each lock to be freely mounted on and dismounted from a lock mounting portion, and dispose a false lock on each lock. Operation of locking/unlocking any one of the locks is provided to enable persistent use of a common latch disposed at an identity opening of a safe proper.
Storage card adapter with compression latch
Technology is provided for a storage card adapter. The storage card adapter is used for housing storage cards (e.g., M.2 storage cards), and the storage card adapter can then be inserted into a drive bay. The storage card adapter includes a compression latch system that, when engaged, brings together the cover and carrier frame of the storage card adapter such that at least 100 lbs of compressive force is applied to thermal pads disposed on either side of storage cards housed within the storage card adapter. The compression latch system includes a cam into which a shaft of a compression latch is inserted. When a lever attached to one end of the shaft is pivoted about the shaft, a ramp on the opposite end of the shaft engages with an engagement ramp within the cam to thereby pull together the cover and carrier frame and provide the desired compressive force to the thermal pads. The storage card adapter also includes a spring latch that locks the lever of the compression latch into place when the compression latch is fully engaged with the cam.
