A door latch for a domestic electrical appliance includes a latch assembly that includes a locking element arranged to be displaceable between an unlocking position and a locking position, and an arresting element which moves from its release position into the arresting position as the door is closed. The arresting element in the arresting position can be locked by means of the locking element against movement into the release position and in the locked state prevents the closed door from opening. The latch assembly further includes an electric switch which, when the door is closed, responds to a movement of the locking element from the unlocking position into the locking position, and a switch auxiliary control member which, as the door is closed, is urged by the closing body from an active position against a restoring spring force into an inactive position.

The present disclosure discloses a door lock, comprising a cam having a notch, wherein the door hook is fixed in the cam when a door hook mounted on the door is inserted into the notch of the cam; driving means actuated by a push force from outside of the door, a pull force from outside of the door, a push from inside of the door, or by a control signal, wherein the driving means moves the cam from a locked position to an unlocked position.

A locking device for releasably locking two furniture parts that can move relative to one another against the force of a force accumulator, includes a heart-shaped locking contour with a heart-shaped depression and a locking element, and can move relative to the heart-shaped locking contour and, in a locking position, can be arranged in the heart-shaped depression of the heart-shaped locking contour. The locking element can be moved, by a motion out of the locking position into a further pushed position, out of the heart-shaped depression into a release position, and the locking device has a push-through depression separate from the heart-shaped depression, in which the at least one locking element can be arranged and at least one blocking contour which blocks movement of the at least one locking element out of the push-through depression into the heart-shaped depression.

A fuel door opener assembly is configured to lock or unlock a fuel door of a vehicle and includes: an opener housing in which a space is formed; a locking block slidably installed inside the opener housing, elastically supported in a direction to be drawn out from the opener housing, and configured to lock and unlock the fuel door; a locking pin configured to be moved along a heart-shaped cam formed on the locking block to restrict a location of the locking block in accordance with a position thereof on a profile of the heart-shaped cam; and an elastic member disposed in the opener housing and elastically supporting the locking pin to allow the locking pin to be positioned on the profile of the heart-shaped cam.

A latch assembly is provided that includes a latch arm having a rotational axis and an engagement surface on a distal end of the latch arm a length from the rotational axis. The engagement surface is stowed in a stowed state of the latch arm. The latch arm is configured to receive a pushing force to depress the latch arm a predetermined distance along the rotational axis. The latch assembly also includes a turret assembly having a top end with the latch arm mounted thereon. The turret assembly is configured to, in response to the pushing force being applied to the latch arm, raise and rotate the latch arm about the rotational axis to thereby transition the latch arm from the stowed state to a deployed state in which the engagement surface is exposed.

A locking device enables locking a charging, fueling, or service flap on a compartment. The flap is reversibly movable between a closed position and an open position. The locking device includes a flap lock for locking the flap in its closed position. The flap lock has a locking position, in which the flap lock locks the flap, and a release position in which the flap is moveable in relation to the flap lock. A first transfer shaft is connected to the flap lock such that the flap lock is moveable by a movement of the first transfer shaft between the locking position and the release position. A pushing element is connected to the first transfer shaft and configured so as to push the flap out of its closed position away from the charging compartment after the flap lock is transferred into its release position.

A lock including a latch provided at one of a door and a cabinet, and a coupler provided at the other one of the door and the cabinet, the coupler including a housing including a latch insertion hole, an engaging lever including an engaging lever body rotatably provided within the housing, a latch insertion groove having a first end of the latch inserted therein by extending from a first end of the engaging part body, and first, second, third, and fourth projections formed by extending a second end of the engaging lever body.

A push lifter includes a body portion; a rod slidably disposed inside the body portion; an urging portion to urge the rod in a direction away from the body portion; and a rotator disposed rotatably about an axial of the rod at the one end of the body portion to lock or unlock the rod. The rod includes a first rib portion, and a second rib portion distanced from the first rib portion in an axial direction of the rod, to rotate the rotator. The rotator includes an inner cam portion so that when the rod is pressed to slide inwardly of the body portion, the first rib portion abuts against the inner cam portion to rotate the rotator, and when the rod is released to project outwardly from the body portion, the second rib portion abuts against the inner cam portion to rotate the rotator.

Rack and drawer systems. An embodiment of a system of the present disclosure comprises a support box at least partially surrounding a first tray positioned below a second tray; a first glider mechanism and a second glider mechanism each coupled to the first tray and the support box and configured to allow the first tray to be extended outward from the support box in a first direction; and a third glider mechanism coupled to the first tray and the second tray and configured to allow the second tray to be extended sideways perpendicular to the first direction.

A movement control device comprising a housing with an elongate push rod mounted therein for reciprocal movement along a longitudinal axis between first and second positions, wherein the push rod extends out of said housing in both the first and second positions. A spring comprising a primary axis operable to provide a biasing force on the push rod is further provided in the housing. A damping device comprising a primary axis is located in the housing, wherein the damping device is in continuous engagement with the push rod through its reciprocating movement. The primary axis of the spring and the primary axis of the damping device are not coaxial.
