Abstract

A latch guiding and coupling device includes a coupling seat having first and second sides. An insertion groove is defined between the first and second sides and extends from a first surface through a second surface of the coupling seat. A recessed portion is formed in the first side and rotatably receives a roller. Each of two ends of the recessed portion has a positioning groove extending to the first surface to form a notch. An axle extends through the roller and includes two ends respectively received in the positioning grooves. A locking plate is mounted to the first surface of the coupling seat. The locking plate includes an opening aligned with the insertion groove and two stopper portions aligned with the positioning grooves. Each stopper portion covers one of the notches to prevent the axle from disengaging from the positioning grooves. The roller protrudes beyond the locking plate.

Claims

1. A latch guiding and coupling device comprising:

a coupling seat including a first side and a second side, wherein an insertion groove is defined between the first side and the second side, wherein the coupling seat further includes a first surface and a second surface, wherein the insertion groove extends from the first surface through the second surface, wherein a recessed portion is formed in the first side and includes two ends, wherein each of the two ends of the recessed portion has a positioning groove, wherein each positioning groove extends to the first surface to form a notch;

a roller including an axle extending along a longitudinal axis of the roller, wherein the axle includes two ends respectively received in the positioning grooves of the coupling seat, wherein the roller is rotatably received in the recessed portion of the coupling seat; and

a locking plate mounted to the first surface of the coupling seat, wherein the locking plate includes an opening aligned with the insertion groove, wherein the locking plate further includes two stopper portions aligned with the positioning grooves of the coupling seat, wherein each of the two stopper portions covers one of the notches of the positioning grooves to prevent the axle from disengaging from the positioning grooves, and wherein the roller protrudes beyond the locking plate.

2. The latch guiding and coupling device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a plurality of fasteners, wherein the coupling seat includes a plurality of fixing holes, wherein the locking plate includes a plurality of positioning holes, and wherein the plurality of fasteners extends through the plurality of positioning holes and is removably fixed in the plurality of fixing holes of the coupling seat.

3. The latch guiding and coupling device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the locking plate further includes a guiding plate extending laterally therefrom, wherein the guiding plate includes an arcuate side extending from a distal end of the guiding plate towards the coupling seat.
