Abstract: A latch useable to secure a gate such as typically found on a pontoon boat includes a latch bolt slidably received within a barrel. A spring interposed between the bolt and the back end of the barrel maintains the bolt in an extended position protruding out the mouth of the barrel until the bolt is retracted back within the barrel. A cover carried by the latch bolt prevents debris from entering the spring area in the barrel, which could interfere with the latch's action. The latch secures the gate in its closed position with the bolt extending into a complementary receiver carried by the adjacent wall.

Abstract: A combination brake light and interior light for mounting on the rear door of a truck cap. The combination light includes a housing mounted on the rear door of the truck cap. The housing holds a brake light indicator lens on one side, facing the rear door. When the rear door is closed, the brake light indicator lens is substantially vertically disposed. Proximate to the brake light indicator lens, a brake light bulb is disposed within the housing. Apparatus for energizing the brake light bulb upon operation of the truck brakes are included. Additionally, an interior light lens is held on another side of the housing. Proximate to the interior light lens, an interior light bulb is held within the housing. Apparatus for selectively energizing the interior light bulb are also included.

Abstract: A frame for mounting a window or other panel-like member in the wall of an automobile, van, truck, watercraft, and the like is formed from an elongated extrusion having a T-shaped slot adapted to receive a trim strip bearing a decorative stripe. The extrusion may be bent with the trim strip in the T-shaped slot to form corners and bends in a frame without damage to the appearance of the stripe.
