  • Patent number: 7085057
    Abstract: A reflective grating for precision location measurement. In one embodiment, the reflective grating has a non-reflective substrate and a non-reflective adhesion layer disposed on the substrate layer. A reflective surface layer is disposed on the adhesion layer. In another embodiment, the reflective grating is manufactured on the reflective (polished) surface of a monolithic substrate. A series of grating lines are formed in the reflective surface layer by vaporizing portions of the reflective surface layer with a laser in order to expose the non-reflective adhesion layer. Accordingly, alternating reflective and non-reflective grating lines are formed that are used for making precision measurements.

  • Patent number: 6896315
    Abstract: A sliding door guide for motor vehicles, in particular vans and utility vehicles, includes an upper, lower and a central guide mechanism to hold the door in place. The door is flush with the side panel of the vehicle when closed and extends beyond the side of the side panel when open and can essentially be moved parallel to the side panel. The central guide mechanism includes a carriage and sliding rails. The sliding rails are arranged on the inside of the door, in which the carriage is hinge-mounted on a reversing lever and in turn the reversing lever is hinge-mounted on a pillar of the vehicle body. A first anchor is mounted in front of the carriage when seen in the direction of opening, and a second anchor is mounted in the side panel approximately half way along the path of opening.

  • Patent number: 5474311
    Abstract: A right and left hand retractable wheel carriage for a removable vehicle bench seat opposite end latching mechanism. Each carriage includes mounting brackets, caster brackets interconnected by a link, associated casters, and a suitable spring for urging the casters apart and into engagement with the vehicle floor to prevent the casters from rattling during operation of the vehicle. Once the seat's latching mechanism is released, the spring forces the casters into a vertical orientation to thereby lift the bench seat to facilitate manually rolling it out of the vehicle, and then along the ground or floor.
