Abstract: A buffer with a self-adjustable stopper including a buffer head, a base having a guide profile, and a central body having a groove cooperating with the profile, the central body being mounted on the base by a translation movement, in a first direction (X) in a plane of movement, the central body at least partially receiving the buffer head. The buffer head includes a locking member inserted into the central body in a second direction (Y) and blocks in a third direction (Z) the buffer head in the central body and blocking in the first direction the central body on the base. The locking element and the buffer head include, respectively, at least one thrust ramp and at least one housing adapted to receive said at least one ramp adapted to, when the locking member is translationally actuated, produce a camming effect and to allow raising of the buffer head.

Abstract: A cooler access control system locks a cooler when occurrence of an event is detected that requires limiting access to the inside of the cooler. Examples of such events include the loss of power to the cooler for a predetermined period of time, the opening of the cooler door for longer than an allowed time, the loss of functionality of a temperature probe and others. In an embodiment, a service mode is supported wherein the door is left unlocked despite the occurrence of such an event, to allow a stocker or other personnel to leave the cooler door open while stocking the cooler with product. Locking structures for both single door coolers and double door coolers are disclosed.

Abstract: A self-contained latch module in combination with a pusher and catch (collectively “latch assembly”) allows for the locking of two doors with a single lock. The latch module contains two spring-loaded bolts, one active and one passive. Pushing the active bolt into the latch housing, the passive bolt extends out of the opposite side of the latch housing. Pushing onto the passive bolt in the direction of the latch housing while the active bolt is depressed will allow the passive bolt to retract into the housing without affecting the active bolt on the opposite side. This allows a user to slam closed the associated doors in any order. The self-latching nature of this latch assembly allows for the automatic latching of the cabinet doors without having to manually latch one of the doors before locking the other.

Abstract: A telecommunications enclosure including a housing is disclosed. A first panel is operatively coupled to the housing for pivotal movement between a first position and a second position. A second panel is operatively coupled to the housing for pivotal movement between a first position and a second position. The telecommunications enclosure includes a lock operable to retain the first panel in the first position when the second panel is in the second position and to retain the second panel in the first position when the first panel is in the second position. The telecommunications enclosure includes at least one fiber optic splitter mounted on the first panel and a termination field mounted on the second panel.

Abstract: A door lock mechanism for a pair of doors oppositely hung on the frame of a cabinet. The door lock mechanism comprises a pair of studs, one to be attached respectively to each door, a lock body to be attached to the frame, and a latch assembly carried on the lock body and provided by a pair of latch members and a spring urging the latch members to their latching positions. Each of the studs has a camming head at its free end which cooperates with a portion of the lock body to guide the stud into a cavity provided in the lock body as the respective door is closed. Each stud is also provided with a recess adapted to receive a detent end portion of one of the latch members to releasably retain the respective door in its closed position.

Abstract: A fastening device for bags, luggages and other receptacles with width/tension adjustment capacity incorporated within the engagement structure of the fastener is disclosed. The fastening device comprises a u-shaped casing and pairs of opposing spring actuated catches which engage with a rigid depressant member of a keeper unit in a coupling or locked position.

Abstract: A latch for a combination vent and escape hatch for buses and mobile homes. The latch can be used to hold the hatch door in a closed position that is rain-tight. Alternately, with just a push on the hatch door, it can be opened to a vent position and held there by the latch. When the user pushes on a release mechanism, the hatch door can be opened completely to allow an emergency exit from the vehicle. In addition, a release handle located on the outside of the hatch allows rescue workers to gain easy access.

Abstract: The invention concerns a lock for doors or windows, with two latches each pivoting about a pivot pin being provided in the one component and of which the mutually facing ends in the locked position engage in mutually opposite directions an undercut surface of a locking bolt mounted on the other component, this locking bolt cross-sectionally being a wedge-shaped or conical tip by means of which the two latches can be forced apart against the opposing force of a spring, this lock being designed so that unauthorized forcible opening in the absence of a key is at least made appreciably more difficult.
