Patent number: 4911489Abstract: A T-handle latch in which a housing is designed for reception in an opening of an item to be latched. A shank of a handle is rotationally disposed in the housing, and an actuating member of the latch is fixed on the end of the shank. The shank may be received in a shank-receiving opening of the actuating member, the opening being elongate so that the actuating member may be fixed in any of a plurality of discrete transverse positions with respect to the shank. Keying elements on the shank and in the shank-receiving opening define the discrete positions and are useful in achieving initial adjustment of the latch, in preventing the latch from slipping out of adjustment during use, and in helping to prevent relative rotation of the shank and the actuating member. Return springs bias the handle toward a neutral, home position. The return springs may be housed completely within the body of the latch, thereby protecting them from accidential damage, dislodging or loss during use, installation or shipping.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 1989Date of Patent: March 27, 1990Assignee: A.

Patent number: 4895332Abstract: An anti-slip grab rail and grab rail assembly, the grab rail providing improved gripping surfaces which, in the preferred embodiments, are formed by a plurality of exposed surfaces of a rigid elongate bar alternating with a plurality of elastomeric members extending longitudinally of the bar. The elastomeric members preferably take the form of inserts secured within cavities that extend longitudinally of the bar at the surface of the bar. The inserts may be secured within the cavities by aligning the inserts adjacent to the cavities and pushing them transversely into the cavities such that the inserts snap into place and are retained by an interference fit with a portion of a structure of the rail.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 1988Date of Patent: January 23, 1990Assignee: A. L. Hansen Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Randall C. Hansen, Gilbert H. Krahn

Patent number: 4835997Abstract: A two-way rotary lock is disclosed of a type suitable for use in locking a sliding door of an automative vehicle in either an open or closed position. This lock includes a lock body that defines first and second recesses positioned on opposed sides of the lock body to receive first and second strikers mounted to the side frames which define the door opening. A latch plate is rotatably mounted within the lock body, and this latch plate defines first and second tangs. Pivotal movement of the latch plate causes the first and second tangs to block the respective recesses and thereby capture the respective strikers in place. A single lock mechanism is used to secure the latch plate in position, and appropriate linkages allow either an inside handle or an outside handle to be used to release the latch plate and thereby release a captured one of the strikers from the lock body.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1984Date of Patent: June 6, 1989Assignee: A.
