  • Door rod lock link
    Patent number: 5344249
    Abstract: A link for facilitating the joining of two rods while compensating for manufacturing irregularities in rod length and other manufacturing and assembly tolerances to produce a rigid assembly of proper length including a clip base for receiving an end of each rod and a sleeve to lock the assembly. The clip has an opening on one end for receiving a first rod and a threaded opening and longitudinal recess at the opposite end for receiving a threaded end of the second rod. The second rod may be pushed transversely to its axis into the recess and opening at any point along the opening to rigidly link the two rods together while compensating for manufacturing and assembly tolerance variations. The sleeve is telescopingly locked over the recess to secure the second rod in the clip.
