Push-push locking mechanism for use in door of fan storage compartment, has guiding unit pressed by nut via channel and locked in retaining section to lock door in closed position, when unit is positioned in groove and force acts on door

摘要

The mechanism (20) has a groove unit (30) defining a groove (34) with a nut (36), where the groove unit has an integrated, encased retaining section in proximity to the nut and a dual wall channel for connecting the groove with the section. The channel width is smaller than a width of a guiding unit (32) moving in the groove. The guiding unit is directly pressed by the nut through the channel and is locked in the section for locking a door of a storage compartment in a closed position, when the guiding unit is positioned in the groove and force larger than preset force acts on the door. An independent claim is also included for a sectional view of a groove unit, when a guiding unit is in an opened position.
