ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a safety striker mechanism available and accessible from within an enclosure that is normally locked by means of a door-mounted latch. A freezer or refrigerator door, for example, may be provided with a door latch which is capable of being locked with a key. The door latch cooperatively engages a safety striker mechanism according to the invention which may be independently actuated from within the enclosure such that the striker member is disengaged from contact with and out of the path of the associated latch member. The result is the ability of a person otherwise trapped within the enclosure to reach safety. A novel linkage-type of mechanism having a plurality of pivot points translates rectilinear actuating movement into an arcuate movement of the striker member.
