Abstract: A latch device has a housing, a sliding body including a striking portion abutting against a striker and disposed relative to the housing, a spring member urging the sliding body in a direction such that the sliding body protrudes from the housing, and an engaging body rotatably supported relative to the sliding body and including a claw portion on the end of the engaging body. The engaging body moves between a locking position wherein the claw portion is protruded to a striking portion side and engages with the striker, and a locking release position wherein the claw portion is retracted from the striking portion side and is released from engagement with the striker.

Abstract: A latch device includes a housing; a sliding body including a striking portion and a cam groove, and disposed relative to the housing so as to be capable of advancing and retracting; a spring member urging the sliding body in a direction protruding from the housing; an engaging body rotatably supported relative to the sliding body, and including a claw portion on an end thereof; and a pin member moving in such a way as to trace the cam groove. The engaging body can move between a locking position wherein the claw portion is protruded to a striking portion side, and locks the engaged/disengaged member, and a locking release position wherein the claw portion is retracted from the striking portion side. When the sliding body is pressed and the sliding body moves against an urging force of the spring member, the sliding body is retained in a position after a movement thereof through the cam groove and the pin member, and the engaging body moves from the locking release position to the locking position.

Abstract: A plastic screw grommet includes a head portion and a leg portion having an end portion which is moved to a head portion side due to a screw advancing operation of a screw body inserted from the head portion side. The plastic screw grommet is structured so as to expand an intermediate portion by inserting the end portion, which is moved to the head portion side, into an inside of the intermediate portion of the leg portion between the end portion and the head portion. An outer surface of the end portion contacting an inner surface of an expanded portion of the intermediate portion at a time of the expansion is structured so as to have a shape following the inner surface of this expanded portion.

Abstract: A drawer device includes a case, and a drawer member housed in the case and capable of withdrawing from and retracting into an opening of the case. A rotating member is disposed within the case for converting linear displacement into rotation, and a pressing device presses the rotating member in a direction of the linear displacement toward a withdrawing direction of the drawer member. An abutting section is disposed at the drawer member for abutting against the rotating member for converting rotation of the rotating member into displacement of the drawer member in the withdrawing or retracting direction. A latching device latches the drawer member to the case when the drawer member is housed within the case and unlatches when the drawer member is pressed.
