Patent ID: 7261340

Claim:
A cam remote latch mechanism comprising: a housing; a support, placed inside said housing, being able to perform a locking movement from an innermost position to an outermost position and a reverse unlocking movement; a plurality of guiding openings in said housing for guiding said locking and unlocking movements of said support; a plurality of bolts, protruding from said support and respectively entering said plurality of guiding openings for guiding said locking and unlocking movements of said support; a cam, set on a primary axis and placed inside said housing, by turning in a positive direction driving said locking movement of said support; and a pawl, mounted on an outer side of said support, protruding from said housing when said support has reached said outermost position and exerting sealing force driven by said support; wherein said cam further comprises: an outer surface; an inner surface; a first roll, mounted on said support, contacting said outer surface and rolling along said outer surface when said cam is turned in a positive direction, resulting in said support being driven in said locking movement; a second roll, mounted on said support, contacting said inner surface and rolling along said inner surface when said cam is turned in a reverse direction, resulting in said support being driven in said unlocking movement; a contact area on said support, touching said cam when said support has reached said outermost position, so that said support is blocked from moving beyond said outermost position; wherein, when said support has reached said outermost position, a counterforce torque in positive direction is exerted, and said support and said cam stably hold each other.
