Latch actuator and method of actuating a latch

A latch actuator comprises a motor, a speed reduction gearing coupled to an output shaft of the motor, a spindle, and a motion conversion mechanism. The spindle has a threaded portion in engagement with the speed reduction gearing. The spindle is supported to be rotatable about an axis. The threaded portion is rotationally fixed relative to the spindle. The motion conversion mechanism is configured to cause a displacement of the spindle along the axis when the spindle rotates.

Over center mechanism and method of use
10577839 · 2020-03-03 · ·

A system, the system having: a pair of levers; and an over center spring secured to each of the pair of levers such that each leg of the over center spring is received by features on each respective lever, wherein opposing forces on each leg of the over center spring creates a negative torque on a first one of the pair of levers and a positive torque on a second one of the pair of levers when the system is in a first position and wherein the system when in a second position approximately half way to a final position from the first position provides zero torque to the pair of levers and wherein the system when in the final position creates a positive torque on the first one of the pair of levers and a negative torque on the second one of the pair of levers when the system is in the final position.

Locking device and enclosure using the same

A locking device includes a first side plate and a first driven screw. The first side plate includes a first moving track with a first driving member extending along the first moving track and a first driven screw includes a first threaded rod; and a first follower mounted to an end of the first threaded rod and coupling with the first driving member. When the first driven screw moves along the first moving track, the first follower is driven to rotate by the first driving member, thereby driving the first threaded rod to rotate along a locking direction or an unlocking direction. An enclosure is further disclosed.
