A latch assembly for releasably securing a closure element with a striker element in a closed position. The latch assembly consists of first and second latch elements mounted to a housing for movement relative to each other and the housing, with the first latch element being movable relative to the housing between a latched position and a release position, and cooperating structure on the release lever for moving the second latch element relative to the housing and, in response thereto, causing the first latch element to move from its latched position to its release position. A guard plate is positioned between the housing and the first latch element to more securely retain the striker element and prevent tampering or theft.

The present invention provides a two-way vent for a vehicle that opens in a front and rear direction and includes a preferably symmetric cam having an apex on its centerline, and first and second convex sides each terminating respectively in a recess at the base of the cam. The degree of opening of the vent is determined by the displacement of a follower rod with respect to the apex of the cam. From its originally closed position with the follower positioned at the apex, the vent can be opened either forward or backward by selectively moving a handle that actuates the follower along the curved paths defined by the convex sides. The cam preferably includes a lateral cusp at the end of each curved path, the cusp defining a transition from the curved path to the recess.

An extended throw deadbolt lock including a housing having a face plate and an axial guide channel formed with a guide path having spaced apart locking seats. Angled transition surfaces extend toward each of the locking seats. A deadbolt member having a transverse locking member slot is mounted within the guide channel and a locking member, including a locking tab disposed in the guide path, is mounted within the locking member slot. A key cylinder having a rotatable cam is mounted on the housing. When the key cylinder is rotated, the cam engages the locking member to drive the locking tab from a locking seat and engage an abutment wall of the deadbolt member slot to drive the deadbolt member in the guide channel such that the tab moves in the guide path toward the other locking seat. At one point, the cam disengages the wall of the slot whereupon a biasing member, having a biasing force, biases the locking tab along the angled transition redirecting the biasing force against the wall of the slot to further drive the deadbolt member in the guide channel an extended distance. The tab is driven along the angled surface far enough so that locking tab is received in the other of the locking seats to lock the deadbolt member in position.
