  • Patent number: 7272964
    Abstract: A latch assembly having a latch housing and handle that are substantially or near flush with the surrounding outer surface of the door in which they are mounted when the latch assembly is in its closed position. The latch assembly utilizes a locking cylinder as a push-button mechanism in order to release at least a portion of the handle, which then pivots to an extended position where it can be grasped and turned by an operator. A spindle and latching pawl are slidably connected to the handle and bound by a camming surface in the latch housing so that the spindle and latching pawl moves both axially and rotationally at the same time so that, upon closing, the pawl will cinch down on the frame to create a tight closure between the door and frame.

  • Patent number: 6527308
    Abstract: A rotation camlock assembly having a spring, a first body rotatably mounted within a second body, and a cam or pawl mounted to said first body. The first body being a plug member that rotates with respect to the second body, the rotation being regulated by a spring mechanism in combination with a rotation limiting stop washer. The second body being a latch housing mounted to either a door or a stop structure associated with a door for the closure and latching of said door. The cam or pawl member rotates between a first position in which the latch assembly is disengaged and a second position in which the latch assembly is engaged, locking the door to a catch feature on the frame. The spring causes constant bias of the plug member and cam in the direction of engagement and a placed wholly between the first and second bodies.
