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.
Abstract:
The present application provides a door lock, comprising: a door lock, comprising: a latch head for locking a door of the top loading electrical appliance, the latch head being rotatable about an axis; and a limiting mechanism for limiting rotation of the latch head before the door of the top loading electrical appliance reaches a closed position. The latch head has a latch head unlock position and a latch head lock position, the latch head rotating between the latch head unlock position and the latch head lock position; and the limiting mechanism is arranged for limiting the latch head from rotating from the latch head unlock position to the latch lead lock position before the door of the top loading electrical appliance reaches a closed position. The door lock of the present application can lock the door of a washing machine safely and accurately.
Abstract:
A cowl for an outboard marine propulsion device having an internal combustion engine. The cowl comprises a first cowl portion; a second cowl portion that mates with the first cowl portion to enclose the internal combustion engine; a service door on the second cowl portion, wherein the service door is positionable in an open position and in a closed position; and a carrying handle on the second cowl portion, wherein the carrying handle is accessible when the service door is in the open position and inaccessible when the service door is in the closed position. A plurality of latches are spaced apart around the perimeter. The latches latch the second cowl portion to the first cowl portion. An actuator assembly actuates each of the plurality of latches. The actuator assembly can be actuated by movement of the carrying handle.
Abstract:
A cover locking mechanism according to the present invention comprise a seat formed at the cabinet, a locking operation piece that is mounted on the seat of the cabinet and can be turned between a locked position, at which the cover is locked, and an unlocked position, at which the cover is unlocked, and a stopper mechanism configured to prevent the locking operation piece from slipping off. The locking operation piece includes an elastic piece that can be elastically deformed along the turn axis of the locking operation piece at a portion facing the seat of the cabinet, the elastic piece having a fitting portion formed toward the seat of the cabinet, and further, the seat having a engaged portion which releasably engage the engaging portion at a locked position of the locking operation piece.
Abstract:
A mounting device includes a base having a first surface and a second opposite surface, the first surface having a supporting surface and an engaging member having an engaging surface. The engaging member can include an elongated flexible member with a headed end having the engaging surface. The mounting devices can be mounted on a surface of a substrate, e.g. an automotive transparency, to provide a panel, and the panels can be fixedly secured over an opening, e.g. an opening in the body of a vehicle, without the use of structural adhesive.
Abstract:
A gate latch assembly includes a first door mountable portion including a first body and carrying a pivotable latch bar that extends outward from a side of the first body, and a first handle part operatively connected to effect pivot of the latch bar when the first handle is rotated, a second door mountable portion including a second body and carrying a pivot bar, and a second handle part operatively connected to effect pivot of the pivot bar when the second handle is rotated. The gate latch assembly can be assembled in either a first configuration to permit rotation of the pivot bar away from its neutral position in only a first direction, or a second configuration to permit rotation of the pivot bar away from its neutral position in only a second direction that is opposite the first direction.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a sliding security gate inside a framed pocket unit. These Pocket Sliding Security Gates can be assembled and installed inside of the wall and positioned to close off rooms, hallways, and/or stairs for the protection of babies and toddlers, pets, and the disabled elderly. The Pocket Sliding Security Gate can be placed during construction where it can close across openings or hallways at the top or bottom of the stairs to provide safety and security to the vulnerable population listed above. In addition, this Pocket Sliding Security Gate also has an alarm attached to the end of the security gate so that when it opens, the alarm sounds to let the gatekeeper know that the security has been compromised.
Abstract:
A component for a vehicle interior may comprise a base comprising a bin, a cover configured to move in an opening direction to uncover the bin and a closing direction to cover the bin, and a mechanism to retain the cover to the base. The mechanism may comprise a cam to retain the cover to the base. The cam may rotate to latch the cover to the base and unlatch the cover from the base. The mechanism may comprise an interface to rotate from a raised position to a depressed position to release the cover from the base. The cover may move in the opening direction as the interface rotates from the raised toward the depressed position. The mechanism may comprise a pin. The interface may disengage from the pin to unlatch the cover from the base. The interface may slide against the pin.
Abstract:
A handle mechanism includes a gear drive having an interior end and an exterior end; an inside handle fixed to the interior end; a button; a finger; a handle drive; an outside handle; and a spring. The button has an interior end and an exterior end, which is positioned within the exterior end of the gear drive. The handle drive is positioned within the exterior end of the gear drive and is rotatable relative thereto. The outside handle and the handle drive rotate together. The outside handle moves between a first position, wherein it is constrained from rotation, and a second position. The finger is fixed to the exterior end of the button, which moves between a first position, wherein the finger causes the gear drive and the handle drive to rotate together, and a second position. The spring biases the button and the outside handle toward their first positions.
