Publication number: 20050140479Abstract: A latching mechanism for a movable member mounted for movement between first and second positions. The latching mechanism includes a primary latching mechanism mounted for movement between a latched position where the primary latching mechanism engages the movable member to allow the movable member to move between the first and second positions, and an unlatched position where the movable member is disengaged for movement to the second position. A secondary latching element engages the first latching mechanism to hold the primary latching mechanism in the latched position, the secondary latching element being movable to move the primary latching mechanism to the unlatched position while remaining in engagement with the primary latching mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2004Publication date: June 30, 2005Inventors: Jeremy Dorn, Jeffrey Kaufman, Kenneth Winter, Cameron Woodson, Chad Mittelstadt

Patent number: 3987653Abstract: A locking device for a looped cable includes a casing in which one end of the cable is anchored, there being a passageway through the casing through which the other end of the cable can be passed. Within the casing is a cable clamp for reducing the size of the passageway, the clamp being threaded on a screw and movable to change the size of the passageway by rotation of the screw. The screw is rotatable by rotation of a lock mounted in the casing, the lock being rotatable by a key. The clamp cooperates with a bed to define the passageway, the clamp and bed having intercalated pyramidal teeth which can exert a vise-like grip on a cable of normally cylindrical shape.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1975Date of Patent: October 26, 1976Inventors: Reginald Lyon, Kenneth Winter, Hugh O'Neill
