pull to lock / pull to release mechanism

[davidMoore]

Hi,

I'm having problems with a design I have to finish and I need some help: where can I find online diagrams of pull to lock / pull to release mechanism ?

Regards,

David

I believe that will be the same as press lock and press release, just inverse the direction of it.
You can see a kind of ball pen anyway, press the tip out, and press the tip back. disassemble it and see what's inside.

Many cabinet latches use this principle.

This question does not belong in the Gear and Pulley forum - the Mechanical Engineering Other Topics forum would be more appropriate.
