In a work vehicle of the present invention, a load carrying bed includes a floor panel, a pair of left and right side panels, and a rear gate which is openable and closable. The rear gate includes left and right lock operational portions for maintaining the rear gate under a closing posture through engagement with locking engagement portions formed in the left and right side panels, a single handle disposed at an intermediate position in the left/right direction of the rear gate and supported to be pivotable about a horizontally oriented operational axis X, and left and right operational wires for operating left and right locking members in a direction for pulling these locking members out of the locking engagement portions by an operation of the handle about the operational axis X.

A door exit device may include an actuator, an upper latch, and a lower latch. The actuator may be operatively coupled to the upper latch by a first drive and to the lower latch by a second drive. Each drive may include a housing which is mountable to the exterior of a door panel and a drive rod slidably supported within the housing. The housing may include a base which is mountable to the door panel and a cover attachable to the base with the drive rod located between the base and the cover. The housing may be configured to extend from the actuator to the latch to conceal the entire length of the rod between the actuator and the latch.

A locking system for securing, within a rectangular frame aperture of a safe, a hinged door having a perimeter and an external side and an internal side and occupying a first vertical plane, the door being configured for suspension on hinges. The locking system comprises a key axle, a disc, a plate. When the key axle is rotated the disc is caused to rotate and the plate slides horizontally to extend a distal end of the plate towards beyond the door perimeter.

Driven lock systems, fenestration units including the driven lock systems, and methods of operating the driven lock systems are described herein. The driven lock systems as described herein offer a combination of powered or motorized operation in addition to manual operation, with the opportunity for a user to manually switch the lock assembly between its locked and unlocked states as needed. The need for manual operation may arise if, for example, the system loses power, the controls of the system are unavailable, etc.

A locking device for an opening-closing body includes: a housing; a rotor that is rotatably supported by the housing; and at least one rod that is provided to move in and out from the housing when the rotor rotates, and that engages with and disengages from a locking portion. The housing includes an accommodating portion that slidably accommodates at least the one rod, the rotor includes a protrusion portion protruding in a rotation axis direction, and the rod includes a fitting recessed portion into which the protrusion portion is fittable. The protrusion portion is configured to be rotatable to a position where the protrusion portion escapes from a slide path of the rod with respect to the accommodating portion.

A lock assembly comprises a driving member, a drive assembly, and an engaging member. The drive assembly comprises a drive connector operatively connected to the driving member, a lead screw operatively connected to the drive connector, a carriage configured and arranged to move along the lead screw, and an elongate member operatively connected to the carriage. The driving member is configured and arranged to rotate the drive connector, and the drive connector is configured and arranged to rotate the lead screw. Rotation of the lead screw moves the carriage along the lead screw and the elongate member moves with the carriage between locked and unlocked positions. The engaging member is configured and arranged to selectively engage the elongate member in the locked position.

A vehicle glove box latch includes a housing, a paddle pivotably connected to the housing, a rotor pivotably connected to the housing, a pawl coupled to the rotor and having an end that is engaged with an opening in the vehicle, and a lock barrel mounted to the housing for locking and unlocking the vehicle glove box latch. In a locked state of the lock barrel, the pawl cannot be disengaged from the opening in the vehicle. In an unlocked state of the lock barrel, the pawl can be disengaged from the opening for opening the vehicle glove box. The lock barrel, the rotor and the rotor mounting portion are concentrically aligned along an axis, which reduces the depth of the latch, which reduces the space in the glove box necessary for accommodating the latch, thereby resulting in an increase in the available storage space in the glove box.

A system including a barrier implement, a barrier implement frame, wherein the barrier implement frame is configured to engage said barrier implement, a bolt lock, wherein the bolt lock is configured to secure the barrier implement frame to the barrier implement in a lock position, a central locking and/or release knob, a cable or rod, wherein the cable or rod is configured to interconnect the central locking and/or release knob and the bolt lock, and wherein the central locking and/or release knob is configured to release said bolt lock by pulling in the cable or rod to move the bolt lock out of the lock position.

In a work vehicle of the present invention, a load carrying bed includes a floor panel, a pair of left and right side panels, and a rear gate which is openable and closable. The rear gate includes left and right lock operational portions for maintaining the rear gate under a closing posture through engagement with locking engagement portions formed in the left and right side panels, a single handle disposed at an intermediate position in the left/right direction of the rear gate and supported to be pivotable about a horizontally oriented operational axis X, and left and right operational wires for operating left and right locking members in a direction for pulling these locking members out of the locking engagement portions by an operation of the handle about the operational axis X.

A locking system for securing, within a rectangular frame aperture of a safe, a hinged door having a perimeter and an external side and an internal side and occupying a first vertical plane, the door being configured for suspension on hinges. The locking system comprises a key axle, a disc, a plate. When the key axle is rotated the disc is caused to rotate and the plate slides horizontally to extend a distal end of the plate towards beyond the door perimeter.
