LATCH AND LOCKING STRUCTURE
A latch for releasably locking a first object to a second object is disclosed. The latch includes: a housing, fixed to the first object; a locking member, accommodated in the housing and pivotable between a locked position and an unlocked position in respect to the housing along a lateral axis, when the locking member is located in the locked position, its locking portions are capable of extending from the housing, and when the locking member is in the unlocked position, its locking portions retract into the housing; an operating member, at least partially accommodated in the housing, the operating member is capable of performing a longitudinal movement between a first position and a second position in respect to the housing, and a direction of the longitudinal movement is substantially perpendicular to the lateral axis; wherein the operating member is coupled with the locking member, such that a movement of the operating member is capable of being converted into a pivoting movement of the locking member, when the operating member moves longitudinally forward from the first position to the second position, the locking member is pivoted from the locked position to the unlocked position. A locking structure is also disclosed.
3D printed maze lock system
A mechanical lock box comprising a housing including a lid and a hook fastener attached to the lid and a 3D multi-level printed maze. A release chamber is located within the maze and a ball is enclosed in the maze. The mechanical lock box further includes a hook bar having a first hook bar end which pivotally connects to a pivot box in the maze and a second hook bar end having a lock hook configured to engage with the hook fastener to hold the lid in a locked position. A hook pusher is configured to pivot the hook bar to unlock the lid when the ball pushes against the hook pusher.
Home appliance having leveling door handle
A home appliance in which an opening and closing operation of a door and a turning operation of a handle are connected through five joints, so that the turning operation of the handle can be performed smoothly, and a latch for fixing the door to a body moves to a position parallel to the door when the door is opened, so that a user is prevented from being interfered with the latch while opening the door and using a cavity of the home appliance.
LOW PROFILE FENESTRATION SCREEN ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR SAME
