20150121974 | Locking Mechanisms and Toolboxes Including Locking Mechanisms - Locking mechanisms and toolboxes including locking mechanisms are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a locking mechanism includes a frame including an opening, a lid, a latch coupled to the lid, the latch including a latching post and a flange, and a locking device including a draw mechanism coupled to the tab, where the draw mechanism is translatable with respect to the frame, the draw mechanism including a slot that includes a narrow end and a wide end positioned opposite the narrow end, where the flange has a width that is greater than a width of the narrow end of the slot of the draw mechanism, and where the draw mechanism is repositionable between a latched position in which the narrow end is axially aligned with the latching post of the latch and an unlatched position, in which the wide end is axially aligned with the latching post of the latch. | 05-07-2015 |
20090108595 | Latching Mechanisms for Storage Containers - A latching mechanism for a storage container having multiple independent and dependent modes of operation may include a first actuation mechanism and a second actuation mechanism. Each actuation mechanism may include a cam that is extendable, retractable and rotatable with respect to the actuation mechanism. The latching mechanism may also include at least one latch receiving assembly for releasably receiving a latch pin. The latch receiving assembly may be in operable communication with a rotor that actuates the latch receiving assembly. The latch receiving assembly may be in operable communication with the first actuation mechanism and the second actuation mechanism via at least one actuation rod pivotally attached to the rotor. Independent and dependent modes of operation of the latching mechanism may be selected by rotating, extending, and retracting the cams of the first actuation mechanism and the second actuation mechanism. | 04-30-2009 |
20090108592 | Storage Containers and Latch Systems for Storage Containers - The present invention is directed to a latch assembly for releasably latching two components, including at least two of a latch base, a dowel, and a latch pin, wherein the latch pin is moveable with respect to the latch base. The latch assembly may be part of a latch system which includes the latch assembly and a receiving assembly and which can be used in storage containers, such as, a vehicle storage container. | 04-30-2009 |
20090108591 | Storage Containers and Latch Systems for Storage Containers - The present invention is directed to a latch assembly for releasably latching two components, including a latch base, a latch plate, and a latch pin, wherein the latch pin is moveable with respect to the latch base. The latch assembly may be part of a latch system which includes the latch assembly and a receiving assembly and which can be used in storage containers, such as, a vehicle storage container. | 04-30-2009 |
