    Abstract: A locking appliance latch (24) employs a rotating hook (27) to engage a loop (26) together releasably retaining the door (18) of an appliance. The latch (24) provides for a folded actuation path in which a momentarily activated solenoid (34), moving along an axis (65) aligned with the rotation axis (28) of a rotating hook (27) of the latch (24), unlocks the latch (24). The folded actuation path is facilitated by a locking member (42) sliding parallel to the axis of the solenoid (65) and the rotation axis (28) of the hook (27) to provide a ward and key interface with the rotating hook (27) preventing a rotation of the hook (27) in a locked state and allowing rotation of the hook (27) rotation in an unlocked state.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical rotary actuator suitable for use in a refrigerator ice-dispensing door. The actuator provides a rotating shaft driven by a DC permanent magnet motor through a gear train and subject to a returning force of an internal spring. The gear train communicates with a switch to reduce current to the motor when a limit of travel is reached and a shunting path is provided around the motor to produce generative braking when power is removed from the motor and the actuator rotates backward to its initial position. The invention also relates to an ice dispenser door system.
