Abstract: The present disclosure includes a handle assembly system for use with lift and slide doors. The handle assembly can include a handle housing that can serve as a support frame for housing and securing the handle flush within a front face of the door. The handle can be pivoted out of the handle housing and extended to increase length, wherein rotating the handle allows a user to actuate the door panels in order to open and close the sliding door system. The telescoping handle can allow a user to grip the handle and provide a lever-type function to reduce the force required by the user to actuate the panel, such as to lift the panel onto or off the track.

Abstract: An electronic device including a first body and a second body pivoted to each other is provided. The first body includes a frame, a display assembled an inner side of the frame, and a latch assembly disposed within the frame to lock or release the display. When the first body and the second body are rotated relatively to a tent position, the display is released by the latch assembly so as to be moved along the frame.

Abstract: A door arrester for a door of a motor vehicle includes a holder housing including a passage opening for a retaining bar, the holder housing including a first supporting housing part. The first supporting housing part includes injection-molded plastic and a fastening portion for fixing the holder housing onto a part of the motor vehicle. A swinging element and a spring element are provided. The swinging element is pivotable relative to the passage opening toward the retaining bar. The spring element acts upon the swinging element. The first housing part includes a bearing for receiving the swinging element.

Abstract: A support bar assembly for a pivot member pivotably supported by a frame serves to substantially fix the pivot member relative to the frame in an open position. The assembly includes a support arm body securable at an end to the frame. A rack arm is securable to the pivot member and is slidably mounted in the support arm body between a closed position and an open position. A cam lock affixed to the support arm body is movable between at least a release position, in which the rack arm is freely slidable in the support arm body, and a lock position, in which the rack arm is substantially fixed in the support arm body.

Abstract: This support arm assembly for connection between a safe's lid and base includes a bracket for connection to the base and a linear support arm that connects between the bracket and lid. The bracket includes a side face adapted for connection to the inside of the base. An upward facing side of the bracket includes a linear slot that is parallel to the side of the safe when the bracket is mounted. The support arm has a generally flat planar configuration that is adapted for placement through the slot transverse to the upward facing side of the bracket. The support arm has an upper end pivotally connected to the lid and a lower end having a bend that prevents it from being withdrawn from the slot. The lower end also has an abrupt notch adjacent the bend that is adapted to interlock with the slot to hold the lid open.

Abstract: A spring clip for releasably holding the door of a vehicle in an ajar position is provided. The spring clip is adapted to be removably attached to a vehicle body during the manufacturing process. The spring clip is comprised of a base member and a spring finger. The base member includes a pillar tab having a retainer that affixes the spring clip to the body of the vehicle. The door tab of the base member is adapted to slide into an opening in the door. The spring finger is coupled to a base opening that is defined by the base member. The spring finger extends in a cantilever fashion from the base opening into engagement with the vehicle door such that the door is held ajar.

Abstract: A portable data processing device in form of a laptop has a housing provided with a keyboard, a display arranged above the keyboard, a turnable holding element supporting the display turnably about the keyboard. The display is displaceable longitudinally on the holding element so as to be vertically adjustable independently of the turning of the display and so that in an upper end position a free space remains between a lower edge of the display and an upper edge of the housing.

Abstract: A telescopic support arm includes an outside arm and an inside arm which are designed to slide freely each other, the outside arm having a slot and an abutting piece inside thereof, and the inside arm having a slot and rotatable stopping piece inside thereof. The stopping piece is rotated by the engagement with the end portions of the slots and the abutting piece so as to be projected out of or sink into the slots, and by its rotation the outside arm and the inside arm are free to slide each other in both the extending and contracting directions. The stopping piece is provided with a buffer mechanism which comprises a holding piece of the stopping piece, a spring for pulling the holding piece in the contracting direction of the telescopic support arm, and a slot for slidably supporting a support shaft of the stopping piece. A rack with a tooth part is disposed in the outside arm along its longitudinal direction, while a locking piece with a pawl part is provided in the inside arm.

Abstract: A latching assembly for hingeably connected face-to-face plate members includes an automatic latching assembly for automatically latching said members in a predetermined angular relation to each other when one of the plates is swung away from the other and for automatically releasing and rendering said latching assembly inoperative in response to further opening movement of the members, whereby the members may be returned to their original face-to-face position.

Abstract: A support arm for a pivoted window to hold the window open until such time as the locking mechanism for the window is manually released. The support arm has a sequencing latch mounted on one of a pair of sliders that are telescopically mounted relative to each other and a pivoted lock lever is pivoted on the other slider. In moving the sequencing latch to an active latch or lock position, the lock lever is pivoted from an active to an inactive position and is not effective to remove the sequencing latch in response to any movement of the sliders relative to each other until such time as the lock lever is manually moved from the inactive position to an active position wherein, upon relative movement between the sliders, the lock lever can engage and move the sequencing latch from the latch position to an unlatch position.

Abstract: A latch assembly, for holding the doors of trucks and other vehicles in the open position, includes the pivotal latch bar of the prior art but with an improved keeper. The improved keeper has a spring activated lock flap that has one end disposed into the opening formed in the keeper whereby the spring urges the lock flap to its position for closing the opening which receives the latch bar. In addition the latch bar is improved whereby its length can be adjusted to a fixed length in the field.

Abstract: In a hinged security window grating that cannot be opened from the outside but which is readily releasably from within by the lowering of a vertical locking bar that engages the closed grating. The release mechanism includes a tubular member attached to the building wall for slideably engaging the lower end of the locking bar. The tubular member and corresponding point on the locking bar have slots which are engaged by one end of a pivoted lever, the opposite end of which has a pedal which, when depressed, pivots the lever so that it withdraws from the slots to permit the locking bar to vertically drop to release its lock on the grating.

Abstract: The invention comprises an improved latching device for latching a vent assembly in open or closed position and includes means secured to the vent, and a fixed element with a movable locking element for, selectively moving the vent from a closed position to various open positions and locking same in place.

Abstract: An extensible safety latch means comprising two telescoping bar members attached at their extremities to a fixed window frame and an inwardly pivotable window frame, the bars having a first key operated latch means for limiting movement of the pivotable window frame to a safe distance from the fixed window frame insufficient for passage of a child, and a second latch means for securing the movable window frame in an extended inward position as needed to clean the window.
