Patent 6905152 was granted and assigned to LG on June, 2005 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A slide bolt type of closure locking system is disclosed in various configurations in various orientations. A lever arm is used to operate the bolt slide. A detent arrangement normally keeps the lever arm in a nested rest position. The arm can be released from the detent to pivot the arm outward to operate the bolt slide. A pivot blocker is operable to prevent folding of the arm from its outward posture when needed to operate the bolt slide. Various lock case configurations are adapted to embedded or socket-mounting, or channel mounting, or surface mounting installations in swinging, sliding or folding closures.
