Patent number: 10406956Abstract: A seat assembly is provided for supporting in an automotive vehicle. The seat assembly comprises a seat cushion and a seat back pivotally coupled to the seat cushion for movement between a reclined seating position and a fold flat position. A recliner assembly is coupled between the seat back and the seat cushion to provide pivotal movement of the seat back. A riser assembly is pivotally coupled to the seat cushion and pivotally latched to the floor to allow pivotal movement of the seat cushion between a horizontal seating position and a forwardly upright tumbled position. A release mechanism is coupled between the seat back and the riser assembly for automatically synchronizing actuation of the recliner assembly and the riser assembly to provide movement of the seat assembly to the tumbled position in response to the pivotal movement of the seat back to the fold flat position.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Magna Seating IncInventors: David A White, Prasad D Jagtap, Alan Proulx, Timothy J Brush, Jeffrey P Carroll, Omar D Tame, Robert T Coffey, Rabindranath Persad, Douglas A Dingel, Nelson E Hurst, Jerzy Dziedzic, Lei Cao, Brian Adwell

Patent number: 10112515Abstract: A flex shield operatively coupled to a seat assembly of an automotive vehicle for concealing a portion of the seat assembly. The flex shield comprising a flexible planar body portion extending laterally between a front edge and a rear edge and vertically between an upper edge and a lower edge. A plurality of elastic straps are fixedly secured to the body portion and adapted to be coupled to the seat assembly for maintaining tension on the flexible body portion. A plurality of pre-formed fold lines are formed in the body portion and extend between at least one of the front edge and rear edge for consistently controlling folding motion of the body portion between an unfolded position defining a generally planar body portion and a folded position wherein the body portion is collapsed along the fold lines.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2016Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Magna Seating Inc.Inventors: Timothy J Brush, Whitney Jones, Gary Kopec, Alan Proulx, Tyler Bandurski

Publication number: 20090271691Abstract: Various embodiments facilitate linking physical documents to digital documents. Links link physical documents to digital documents. Using a sensor, the physical documents are automatically detected and identified on a digital workspace. A computer is capable of displaying graphics, and user interaction with displayed graphics can be detected. The digital workspace displays a GUI component having one or more controls, and the GUI component is displayed at a location relative to a physical document on the digital workspace. User interaction with the control is detected and either a link between the physical document and one of the digital documents is edited, or an existing link between the physical document and a digital document is used to perform an operation on the digital document. Alternatively or additionally, links may be automatically generated digital documents determined to be implicitly related to the physical document.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2008Publication date: October 29, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: A. J. Brush, Katherine Everitt, Meredith Morris, Andrew Wilson

Patent number: 6688696Abstract: A seat assembly secured to the floor of an automotive vehicle includes a generally horizontal seat cushion movable between a seating position spaced above the vehicle floor and a stowed position resting against the vehicle floor. A riser is operatively coupled to the seat cushion for supporting the seat cushion in each of the seating and stowed positions. A seat back is pivotally coupled to the riser for movement between a generally upright seating position and a folded position in overlapping relationship with the seat cushion. A slide mechanism is coupled between the riser and the seat cushion for slidably articulating the seat cushion along the riser between the seating position and the stowed position. A first link arm is coupled between the seat back and the seat cushion for automatically controlling the sliding articulation of the seat cushion between the seating and stowed positions in response to pivotal movement of the seat back between the upright seating position and the folded position.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2002Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Inventors: Timothy J. Brush, Paul S. DeCaluwe, John R. Ford, Jeffrey T. Lambert, Alan R. Mackey

Patent number: 4041425Abstract: A low profile relay having both coil and spring pile-up mounted in the same plane on its E-core. The E-core has two extended outer arms upon which the spring pile-up is mounted and a shorter center arm upon which the coil and bobbin assembly is mounted and which also forms the strike area for the armature. A C-shaped adjustable armature spring has brackets on each end of the arms into which the armature is snap fitted, providing an adjustable and detachable armature and spring assembly. A dust cover is mounted over the assembly with a hole above the coil to provide heat dissipation for the relay. The relay assembly is mounted on a nonmetallic friction fit bottom insulator for mounting on printed wiring cards.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1975Date of Patent: August 9, 1977Assignee: GTE Automatic Electric Laboratories IncorporatedInventors: Douglas J. Brush, David L. Vonder, Anthony J. Wilkis
