Abstract: A smart door lock may include latch mechanism for locking and unlocking doors; authorization module for authorizing or de-authorizing authority of mechanical key for opening latch mechanism; the mechanical key for inserting into the latch mechanism for unlocking after authorized by the authorization module. Thanks to the structure of smart door lock, there is no need to carry the mechanical key all the time.

Abstract: A door opener for a vehicle includes a housing; an operation lever attached to the housing such as to be rotatable around a rotation shaft between an initial position and a terminal position; a first switch configured to generate a control signal; a connector connected to a second switch that mechanically opens a door of a vehicle; a tactile sensation generating mechanism; and an elastic body that returns the operation lever. The first and second switch are turned off when a rotation angle of the operation lever is in a first angle range. When the rotation angle is in a second angle range, the first switch is turned on, a tactile sensation is generated by the tactile sensation generating mechanism, and the second switch remains turned off. When the rotation angle is in a third angle range, the second switch is turned on.

Abstract: A telescopic mechanism includes a first component and a second component. The second component is capable of moving relative to the first component along a longitudinal direction. One of the first component and the second component is arranged with a contacting portion. The contacting portion resiliently abuts against the other one of the first component and the second component, such that a friction resistance is provided when the second component is moved relative to the first component.

Abstract: A flush-mounted handle assembly for a cargo door having an exterior rotatable handle having a bumper assembly and an interior rotatable handle, a housing having a cavity for receipt of the exterior rotatable handle and an actuator positioned between the interior rotatable handle and housing. The housing having a skid plate positioned within the cavity for receipt of the bumper when the exterior rotatable handle is rotated and the housing also having a shaft removably connected to the housing by a nut for receipt of the actuator.

Abstract: Disclosed is a door catch that can help to prevent door sag, especially for heavy or tall residential or commercial doors, and provides for post-installation catch tension adjustment without removal or adjustment of mounting members. In one aspect, the door catch can include a ball catch base, a threaded ball plunger assembly, a catch bumper, and a bumper base. In another aspect, the catch bumper and the bumper base can optionally be combined into a single catch bar bracket. The ball plunger assembly is adjustably mounted within a threaded aperture of ball catch base. A ball captive in one end of the ball plunger assembly engages a detent in the catch bumper, or catch bar bracket, providing friction to hold the door open. The position of the ball plunger assembly can be adjusted vertically to increase or decrease the tension between the detent and the ball plunger assembly.

Abstract: Production machine (1) for beverages and liquid comestibles, the machine comprising: a housing (20); a capsule holder designed for insertion into the housing (20), wherein the capsule holder comprises a capsule receiving means (11); a liquid injection assembly (4a, 4b) provided in the housing (20). The capsule holder and the machine are designed such that the capsule holder can be transferred manually, via a relative movement of the capsule holder and the housing of the machine, at least between: —a first capsule loaded position, in which any capsule (30) received in the capsule holder is positioned ready for being engaged by the liquid injection assembly (4a, 4b) and, —a second capsule loading position adapted for loading a capsule outside of the housing (20). Complementary stopping means of the capsule holder and the housing are provided which are configured to automatically engage each other to stop the capsule holder in the second capsule loading position.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing liner bolts over a range of impact angles is disclosed. Complimentary liner bolt and driving assembly features cooperate to control energy transfer during impact of the driving assembly upon the liner bolt. The liner bolt includes a convex annular portion on the end face of the bolt shank and a concave depression in the end face of the bolt shank. The driving assembly includes a concave driving face for impacting the convex annular portion of the bolt shank and a spring-loaded guide pin seated in the concave depression of the shank for guiding the concave driving face into contact with the bolt shank. A retraction collar may be associated with the guide pin through a slot in the driving member to retract the guide pin as the driving member chases the liner bolt from the surrounding structure.

Abstract: A push-push latch may include a body and a lever arm that is rotatively coupled to the body. A toggle may be coupled to the lever arm and the body. A pin of the toggle may be positioned within a groove in the body of the latch. When the pin is in a first stable position in the groove, an end of the lever arm is positioned away from the body, and the latch is open. When the pin is in a second stable position, the end of the lever arm is near the body, and the latch is closed. A torsion spring, which may be coupled between the body and the lever arm, moves the pin to either the first stable position or the second stable position during use. When the latch is open, applying a closing force to the latch rotates the lever arm towards the body and causes the pin to move from the first position to the second position when the closing force is removed.

Abstract: A door lock assembly is provided for secure multipoint locking of a door. The lock assembly comprises a main lock cartridge in combination with one or more remote secondary lock cartridges mounted at one side edge of a door, with the main lock cartridge having an actuator for manipulating a plurality of lock members. In one preferred form for use with a hinged or swinging door, the lock members comprise a plurality of latch bolts movable to a first extended position for normal door latching, or to a second and further extended position to function as multiple deadbolts. In an alternate preferred form for use with a sliding door, the lock members comprise headed latch pins for engaging keeper plates on the adjacent door jamb.

Abstract: Over-center hinge for thin-walled doors of cabinets, especially of bathroom mirrored cabinets, having a shallow, door-related hinge part which is articulately joined to a supporting arm fastenable to the supporting walls of the cabinet, and which can be fastened, preferably by cementing, in a matching recess provided on the inner side of the door. A molded piece (36) is removably fastened to the door-related hinge part (12) and bears a tongue (34) which, upon the hinge's closing movement, extends into the path of an engaging surface (pivot eye 15) provided on the supporting arm (18) and can be displaced resiliently against a spring force by this engaging surface, and on which the engaging surface slips during a part of the closing movement beyond a dead-center position on one side of which the tongue (34) exerts on the supporting arm (18) a force in the hinge-opening direction and on the other side of which it exerts thereon a force acting in the hinge closing direction.

Abstract: Hinge for cabinet doors, which has two hinge mounting parts joined by a linkage mechanism, the one hinge mounting part being in the form of a cup which can be recessed into a mortise in the cabinet door, and in which a resilient snap-catch element is provided, while the mounting part has in the area of its extremity extending into the cup a catch projection which during the closing movement of the hinge is engaged by the snap-catch element and behind which it is arrested in the closed position. The snap-catch element is a roller of resiliently compressible material mounted stationary in the wall of the insert cup.
