Abstract
A striker plate assembly for use with a latch includes a base plate having an angled first end and an angled second end. A generally u-shaped striker wire extends perpendicular to the base plate. A first sidewall and a second sidewall are connected to the first end and the second end of the base plate respectively. The first sidewall and the second sidewall extend generally perpendicular to the base plate in the same direction as the striker wire. The first sidewall and the second sidewall include a geometric feature. A first bumper is connected to the first sidewall through the geometric feature and a second bumper is connected to the second sidewall through the geometric feature.
Claims18
A striker plate assembly comprising:
- a base plate having an angled first end and an angled second end;
- a generally u-shaped striker wire extending generally perpendicular to the base plate;
- a first sidewall connected at the first end of the base plate and a second sidewall connected at the second end of the base plate, wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall extend generally perpendicular to the base plate in the same direction as the striker wire;
- wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall include a geometric feature for receiving a bumper;
- and
- a first bumper connected to the first sidewall and a second bumper connected to the second sidewall, wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall extend upwardly from opposite ends of the base plate and the u-shaped striker wire extends upwardly from a middle portion of the base plate located between the first sidewall and the second sidewall, wherein the first bumper extends toward the u-shaped striker wire from the first sidewall and the second bumper extends toward the u-shaped striker wire from the second sidewall.
