    Abstract: A latch (10,120,200) includes a rotatable jaw (18, 124, 204) that engages and holds a striker (32,128,210) in a latched position. A rotatable pawl (28, 132, 214) in an engaged position is operative to hold the jaw in the latched position. Movement of the pawl to a disengaged position enables the jaw to move to an unlatched position and to disengage the striker. The pawl is movable from the engaged position to the disengaged position through operation of either an electrical actuator (84, 152, 236) or through movement of an actuating end (26, 142, 224) of the pawl by a cable or similar mechanical connector (36, 246).

    Abstract: An exemplary hinge (36, 88) is used to connect a body door (84, 162) in movable operative connection with a body (12, 102). The hinge enables selectively moving the door to open and close a body opening (82, 164). The hinge includes a primary hinge butt (38, 90) which includes a primary hinge butt knuckle (40, 104). A primary hinge strap (60, 114) includes a primary hinge strap knuckle (62, 116) which enables relative rotational movement of the primary hinge butt and the primary hinge strap. The door is in operatively attached connection with the primary hinge strap. A secondary hinge butt (132) may be in operative connection with the primary hinge strap to enable relative rotational movement of the door relative to the primary hinge strap in the hinge open position. A disengageable latch may be used to hold the secondary hinge butt in a fixed rotational position.

    Abstract: A latch is provided for latching and automatically unlatching a lid from a waste container. The latch mechanism includes a release weight that moves responsive to gravity in a housing from a first position to a second position to cause the latch to disengage from a striker when the latch is rotated to a dump angular orientation. The latch includes a damper that controls movement of the release weight in the housing such that an amount of time for the release weight to move responsive to gravity from the first position to the second position is at least two times an amount of time the release weight would take to move responsive to gravity from the first position to the second position absent the effect of the damper.

    Abstract: A latch assembly is provided that includes a housing, a release mechanism and a latch mechanism. The release mechanism includes a handle. Movement of the handle from a retracted position towards an extended position relative to the housing is operable to cause the latch mechanism to change from a latched condition to an unlatched condition. When the latch mechanism changes from an unlatched condition to the latched condition, the latch mechanism is operable to cause the release mechanism to cause the handle to move to the retracted position. When the latch mechanism is in the unlatched condition, the latch mechanism maintains the release mechanism in a configuration that maintains the handle away from the retracted position and provides a visual indication that the latch mechanism is in the unlatched condition.
