  • Patent number: 7387565
    Abstract: A striker assembly includes a striker having a main body, a head, and teeth formed in the main body. A ā€œUā€-shaped channel is formed in a top wall of the head to accommodate a movable first elongate metal bar and in a bottom wall of the head to accommodate a stationary second elongate metal bar. An undercut is formed in open communication with the channel that accommodates the second elongate metal bar. A plurality of longitudinally spaced apart circular discs is positioned in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis. Each disc has slots formed in it to accommodate opposite ends of the first and second elongate metal bars. The slot that accommodates the first elongate metal bar enables it to be displaced circumferentially and radially so that a striker can be replaced and it is moved back into its operative position after the striker has been replaced.
