  • Patent number: 4623176
    Abstract: A fastening device for a cupboard door, which includes a catch member that is slidable within a carriage, the catch member and the carriage being biassed outwardly by means of springs. A restraining member is displaceable into and out of engagement with the carriage to restrain displacement thereof, and has a projection for restraining it in engagement with the carriage. Both the restraining member and the projection are externally operable. The fastening device also includes a locking means having a bolt slidable in a housing which defines a blocking pin, a tumbler plate having an annular recess and a auxiliary plate having an H-shaped aperture, in which recess and aperture the pin is received. The plates engage the bolt and prevent displacement thereof unless the plates themselves are displaced relative to the pin.

  • Patent number: 4172541
    Abstract: This invention relates to a closure member in the form of a hollow tubular outlet member and a cap fitting over the outlet member and rotatable relative thereto, the outlet member and cap having complementary conical end portions, an aperture in each conical end portion which can be aligned to define an opening which can be closed by rotation of the cap and wherein the cap and outlet have a co-axial tubular portion, one of such tubular portions being provided with at least one formation directed towards the other tubular portion and co-operating with a cam surface on the said other tubular portion, said cam surface being shaped such that the conical end portions are urged axially into tighter engagement with each other during rotation of the cap to close the opening.
