Patent number: 8146961Abstract: An exit device includes a housing, a latchbolt coupled to and movable relative to the housing, and an auxiliary bolt coupled to the housing and movable relative to the latchbolt. The exit device also includes a deadlock link coupled to the housing and movable relative to the latchbolt and the auxiliary bolt between a first position, in which the deadlock link allows movement of the latchbolt relative to the housing, and a second position, in which the deadlock link inhibits movement of the latchbolt relative to the housing. The exit device further includes a spring biasing the auxiliary bolt into engagement with a portion of the deadlock link to move the deadlock link toward the first position.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2008Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Von Duprin, Inc.Inventor: David M.

Patent number: 6695409Abstract: A seat assembly mounted on a floor of a motor vehicle includes a seat cushion having a seat cushion frame operatively secured to the floor. The seat assembly also includes a seat back having a seat back frame including side members and an upper crossmember extending between the side members fixedly secured to the seat cushion frame. A recliner mechanism is fixedly secured to the seat cushion frame for pivotally moving the seat back relative to the seat cushion, and an armrest is connected to one of the side members. In addition, a bracket includes a base and first and second mounting arms extending out from the base. The base is fixedly secured to one of the side members. The armrest is secured to the first mounting arm and the recliner mechanism is secured to the second mounting arm such that the bracket maintains a predetermined distance between the armrest and the recliner mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2002Date of Patent: February 24, 2004Assignee: Intier Automotive Inc.Inventors: Thomas E. Kreitler, Hans S. Grohs, Frank T. Eupizi, David M. Schacht
