摘要： A key operated latch (10) includes a housing (30) which supports a lock plug (111), a motion control sleeve (40), and a sleeve-like cam (20) therein. The cam (20) rotates with the lock plug (111), while the motion control sleeve (40) is stationary. The cam (20) has at least one cam slot (25), and the motion control sleeve (40) has at least one motion control slot (41, 42). A shaft (50) extends outward from the housing (30) and has at least one projection (60) which is engaged with both the cam slot (25) and the motion control slot (41, 42). The cam slot (25) and the motion control slot (41, 42) are configured such that rotation of the lock plug (111) imparts a sequence of rotational and axial movements to the shaft (50). In one of the embodiments having a wing knob (402) the wing knob freewheels without opening the latch when the lock plug is in the locked position.

摘要： The present invention is a latch for securing a first closure member, such as a lid or cover of an automotive vehicle, in place relative to a second closure member, such as a floor or wall of an automotive vehicle. The latch includes a housing (100) and a handle (150). The housing includes a channel (112). The handle includes a handle member (200), a pawl (300), a pair of pawl-related biasing members (212), and a channel-related biasing member (214). The latch can be opened and closed by grasping and rotating the handle member. The first closure member that is in contact with the latch may be raised by grasping and rotating the handle member upward, and then raising the first closure member upward by way of the handle member. The first closure member may be lowered by grasping and rotating the handle member upward, and then lowering the first closure member downward by way of the handle. Alternatively, the first closure member may be lowered by releasing the handle member when the first closure member is in the raised position.
