Patent

CA 2201675

A latch mechanism of the push-push type comprises a latching member and a latch track member which are adapted to be respectively snap-fittingly mounted upon a closure member and a closure housing such that the latch mechanism constitutes an independent or separate latching entity or unit which may be readily incorporated within or mounted upon any closure assembly such as, for example, a cup holder, an ashtray, or a glove compartment door assembly within an automotive vehicle. Structure is provided upon the latch mechanism for permitting the closure member to be opened, even if the closure member is inadvertently pulled instead of pushed, without damaging the latch mechanism, and additional structure is also provided upon the latch mechanism for retaining the closure member at its inward closed and latch position when excessive pushing forces are impressed thereon, such as, for example, attendant a vehicle accident, such that the closure member is not permitted to move to its unlatched and opened position and thereby present a hazard to the vehicle driver or passenger.

Mécanisme de verrouillage de type pousser-pousser comprenant un élément de verrouillage et un rail de verrouillage qui sont adaptés pour être encliquetés sur un élément de fermeture et son boîtier de telle façon que le mécanisme de verrouillage constitue une unité de verrouillage séparée ou distincte qui peut être intégrée facilement à l'intérieur d'une unité de fermeture ou fixée sur cette dernière comme un porte-tasse, un cendrier ou une porte de boîte à gants. Une structure est adaptée au mécanisme de verrouillage, qui permet d'ouvrir l'élément de fermeture, même si l'élément de fermeture est tiré par mégarde au lieu d'être poussé, sans endommager le mécanisme de verrouillage, et une structure supplémentaire est aussi adaptée au mécanisme de verrouillage pour retenir l'élément de fermeture à sa position de fermeture et de verrouillage si des forces de poussée excessives sont exercées, par exemple, à l'occasion d'un accident de véhicule, de telle façon que l'élément de fermeture ne peut se déplacer vers la position ouverte et déverrouillée et ainsi présenter un danger au conducteur ou au passager du véhicule.
