  • Patent number: 6019428
    Abstract: A seat bolster adjustment assembly includes a bolster moveably mounted on a seat back with a bolster adjustment mechanism adapted to adjust and control the support provided by the bolster. The bolster adjustment mechanism may be mounted on the back side of the seat back, and may include a moveable positioning member between adjacent ribs in order to form a stop limit or positioning element when contacted by the ribs. This bolster adjustment positioning mechanism may include an adjustable brace moveable toward and away from a forward edge of the bolster to thereby adjust the stiffness of the bolster.

  • Patent number: 5604006
    Abstract: A process for producing a label bearing article (10) calls for an adhesive mounting of a label (16) to an exterior surface (14) of a thin thermoplastic substrate (12), and placing the thermoplastic substrate (12) and the affixed label (16) into a mold cavity of an injection molding apparatus with the label bearing exterior surface (14) against a wall of the mold cavity. A molten thermoplastic resin is injected into the mold cavity under pressure so that the resin contacts an interior surface (15) of the thermoplastic substrate (12) to thereby firmly press the exterior surface (14) of the thermoplastic substrate (12) and the affixed label (16) against the wall of the mold cavity, thereby forming the composite article (10). Sufficient heat and pressure are provided within the mold cavity to at least partially recess the label (16) into the exterior surface (14) of the thermoplastic substrate (12) and integrally mold the thermoplastic substrate (12) to the label (16).
