Abstract: A multi-positional seat in one form accommodates a vehicle driver in a standup driving position, a seated driving position and a riding position. The seat back is shiftable relative to the seat base to expose a varying amount of seat base surface for supporting the buttocks of an individual seat user. The seat back and seat base may also be adjustable, for example in fore and aft directions as a unit, to shift the entire seat position. In addition, the elevation of the seat may be adjusted.

Abstract: A relay rack enclosure includes a top cover and bottom cover each of which has end walls which are detachably locked together. The locking structure includes a resiliently mounted cantilevered pawl having a locking tooth which is provided on one of the end walls for detachable engagement in a slot on the abutting end wall of the other cover. A panel is mounted to the covers by tabs in the covers fitting into slots in perpendicular extensions of the panel.

Abstract: Cabinets are formed with a first chamber defined by end joined lengths of a first extrusion, a first chamber outer end closure and a first chamber inner end closure, which may include a second chamber defined by end joined lengths of a second extrusion edge interfitted with lengths of the first extrusion. Two or more cabinets may be combined to form a module. In a preferred construction adapted for use in fabricating a utility vehicle, such as a fire truck, a module includes two or more cabinets removably joined to a common walkway arranged to bridge across the cabinets.

Abstract: A locking assembly used for securing an abutment member to a support member includes a locking stud having a post connected to and disposed outwardly from the abutment member. The post has a longitudinal locking blade connected to and disposed outwardly from the abutment member. The locking blade includes an outwardly disposed inclined surface terminating in a crest edge which comprises a wedge lock for being disposed against an edge of the hole in the support member. An inwardly disposed surface extends from the crest edge. The blade is deflectable at the inwardly disposed inclined surface so that the inwardly disposed inclined surface acts as a cam whereby insertion of the blade into the hole causes an edge of the hole to press against the cam and deflect the blade until the crest edge has passed beyond the hole with the wedge lock preventing removal of the stud from the hole. The post also includes a longitudinally outwardly extending base portion transversely opposite the locking blade.

Abstract: A system for forming burr-less edged name plates includes a shearing station. A die block is provided in the shearing station. An adhesive backing member is disposed above the die block and includes an adhesive coating on a release paper. A name plate assembly is disposed above the backing member for adhesive contact with the backing member. The name plate includes a plurality of name plates connected by a connector web. Each name plate is secured to the web along only one side edge with the remaining side edges being exposed. As a result the remaining side edges could be formed without the formation of burrs. A shear bar is disposed above the name plate and includes a shearing blade for cutting through the connection along the side edge of each name plate and the web and through the backing member to form a plurality of name plate units each of which comprises the name plate and the portion of the backing member in contact with the name plate.

Abstract: A locking assembly for securement through a hole in a support member comprises an abutment member having a locking stud in the form of a post with a locking blade. A plane perpendicular to the abutment member bisects the post. The locking blade is disposed on one side and spaced from the bisecting plane. The stud is completely open in the space opposite the locking blade to create an air space over the entire volume of the stud outwardly of the post and inwardly of the single locking blade. The locking blade includes an outwardly disposed inclined surface which terminates in a crest edge. The outwardly disposed inclined surface functions as a wedge for being disposed against an edge of the hole in a support member. An inwardly disposed inclined surface extends from the crest edge. The blade is deflectable at the inwardly disposed inclined surface so that the inwardly disposed inclined surface functions as a cam which guides the blade into the hole.

Abstract: A locking stud for securing a plate to a support member includes a single post connected to and disposed outwardly from the plate. A single locking blade is connected to and disposed outwardly from the post on one side of and spaced from the axial center line of the post. The stud is completely open in the space opposite the locking blade. The locking blade includes an outwardly disposed arcuate surface which terminates in a crest edge and functions as a wedge lock when disposed against the edge of a hole in the support member. An inwardly disposed arcuate surface extends from the crest edge. The blade is deflectable at the inwardly disposed arcuate surface so that the inwardly disposed arcuate surface functions as a cam during insertion of the blade into the support member hole. When fully inserted the outwardly disposed arcuate surface is wedged against the hole to effectively prevent removal of the stud from the hole.

Abstract: A mounting fastener includes a nut carrier having a pair of oppositely extending resilient wings which extend below the nut carrier and spread as the carrier is slid in a confined track to hold the carrier in position until a bolt or other fastener is threaded into the nut.

Abstract: A mounting assembly for mounting an emblem to objects such as a vehicle, a wall or a fence includes an anchor member secured to the emblem. A threaded rod is detachably engaged with the anchor member. Additionally, a hold down bar is mounted over the rod, and a locking member is secured to the remote end of the rod.

Abstract: An identification card holder is formed from a one-piece molded body which has a flat base and a three-sided frame above the base with the fourth side being open to create a slot. An identification card is inserted in the slot and a transparent shield is then inserted above the card to protect the card and hold it in place.

Abstract: A handle for a stove damper or the like includes an elongated rod mounted in a boss secured to the handle member. The handle member is disposed at an angle to the rod. The rod is mounted in the boss in such a manner that axial, rotational and pivotal movement is prevented.
