Oct 9, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/195415

Inventors:

Richard C. Remington - Pompton Plains NJ

Assignee:

Presto Lock, Inc. - Garfield NJ

International Classification:

E05B 6738

US Classification:

70 68

Abstract:

A zipper slider latching assembly includes a latch unit adapted to be mounted on and attached to a standard zipper slider by means of a snap fastener. The latch unit has spring-biased latching means engageable with a latch member received in the latch unit to fasten the latch member and the latch unit together, and has slider pull means mounted thereon for moving the slider and for controlling the latching means. When the slider pull means is in a rest position, the latching means is in a latching position. When the slider pull means is moved to a slider-moving position, the latching means is in a non-latching position. The latch unit also includes a locking mechanism for locking the slider pull means in its rest position. The latch member may be part of a hasp unit adapted to be mounted on a second zipper slider arranged with respect to the first zipper slider in a double-slider zipper arrangement.

International Classification:

E05B 6552
E05B 3702

US Classification:

70 70

Abstract:

A latching system for a luggage article comprises a pair of spaced swiveling latches mounted on the interior of a front wall of the article, the latches being connected together for swiveling movement in unison between latching and unlatching positions by means of an endless drive cable. The latches are operated by a single manual actuator including a swiveling lever connected to one of the latches by a lost motion connection which allows the lever to be returned to a rest position after moving the latches into their latching or unlatching positions. A combination lock is provided for locking the actuator lever in the rest position except when the lock is on combination.

International Classification:

A45C 1326

US Classification:

16126

Abstract:

A handle for luggage cases and the like includes a grip molded from resilient, low durometer plastic and means for mounting the grip on a case and for supporting the weight of the case. The grip is formed with a cavity in a central portion thereof and has a plurality of resilient members within the cavity, the members adapted to be deformed when the handle is grasped to allow the central portion to flex to impart a soft feel to the grip. The handle may also include a shell assembled on the grip, and a clip having first projections adapted to enter an opening in the shell and a second projection adapted to be received in a slot in the grip, for holding the shell and the grip in assembled relationship.

International Classification:

E05B 6552

US Classification:

70 67

Abstract:

Latching system hardware for luggage articles such as attache cases and the like includes an elongated latch console for attachment interiorly to one section of the article, an actuator assembly for manually operating the console latches, and a lock assembly for selectively locking the latches. The hardware can be assembled in different configurations and operating modes and the console can be used with different types of lock and actuator assemblies so that diverse latching systems can be developed from the same basic console components.

Appl. No.:

6/636692

Inventors:

Richard C. Remington - Pompton Plains NJ

International Classification:

B64C 902

US Classification:

244 87

Abstract:

A hinge for control surfaces of model aircraft, comprising a first hinge member formed with a lateral keyhole slot for removably engaging a lateral barbell portion of a second hinge member. The first hinge member is preferably attached to a fixed structure of the aircraft with the second hinge member attached to a control surface, such as, an aileron or elevator. Relative rotation of one hinge member with respect to the other hinge member allows the lateral barbell portion to operatively engage or disengage from the lateral keyhole slot. When engaged, the operatively coacting hinge members provide rotating hinge action between the control surface and the fixed structure of the aircraft.

Assignee:

Presto Lock, Inc. - Garfield NJ

International Classification:

E05B 3702

US Classification:

70 68

Abstract:

A latching device for apertured members, such as the sliders of a double-slider zipper employed as a closure on a luggage case, has a latch pivotally mounted on a body member and an upstanding stud which is adapted to be covered by the latch when in latched position. The latching device employs a latching mechanism which is operated by the movement of the pivoted latch without the necessity of manipulating a secondary, manual actuator, thereby permitting the latching device to be operated with one hand. The device includes a pair of plungers slideably disposed within a housing, the plungers having end portions extending beyond the housing which are shaped for cooperation with cams attached to the underside of the latch. The plungers are driven into the housing by the cams when the latch is lowered or raised. When the latch is open, the plungers are held partially driven into the housing, thereby reducing the downward force necessary to close the latch.
