Latch assembly, heat sink assembly, and computer product incorporating the same
A latch assembly for latching a heat sink onto a printed circuit board (PCB). The latch assembly includes a clamp having a connector for connecting the latch assembly to the heat sink. A spring is mounted to the clamp for biasing the clamp away from the heat sink. A handle is rotatably connected to the clamp, and a cam extends from the handle. A hook is moveably mounted to the clamp and has a cam surface engaged with the cam. The hook has an engagement portion for engaging the PCB. Rotation of the handle causes (i) rotation of the hook, which causes the engagement portion to engage the PCB, followed by (ii) movement of the cam along the cam surface, which causes translation of the clamp toward the PCB against the bias of the spring, which causes the heat sink to contact an IC for dissipating heat from the IC.
A vehicle glove box latch includes a housing, a paddle pivotably connected to the housing, a rotor pivotably connected to the housing, a pawl coupled to the rotor and having an end that is engaged with an opening in the vehicle, and a lock barrel mounted to the housing for locking and unlocking the vehicle glove box latch. In a locked state of the lock barrel, the pawl cannot be disengaged from the opening in the vehicle. In an unlocked state of the lock barrel, the pawl can be disengaged from the opening for opening the vehicle glove box. The lock barrel, the rotor and the rotor mounting portion are concentrically aligned along an axis, which reduces the depth of the latch, which reduces the space in the glove box necessary for accommodating the latch, thereby resulting in an increase in the available storage space in the glove box.

E05F 1/10 - Appareils de fermeture ou d'ouverture pour battants, non prévus ailleurs dans la présente sous-classe actionnés par ressort pour battants pivotants
A vehicle glove box latch includes a housing, a paddle pivotably connected to the housing, a rotor pivotably connected to the housing, a pawl coupled to the rotor and having an end that is engaged with an opening in the vehicle, and a lock barrel mounted to the housing for locking and unlocking the vehicle glove box latch. In a locked state of the lock barrel, the pawl cannot be disengaged from the opening in the vehicle. In an unlocked state of the lock barrel, the pawl can be disengaged from the opening for opening the vehicle glove box. The lock barrel, the rotor and the rotor mounting portion are concentrically aligned along an axis, which reduces the depth of the latch, which reduces the space in the glove box necessary for accommodating the latch, thereby resulting in an increase in the available storage space in the glove box.
