Abstract: The free end of an arm rotatable with one hinge member contains a roller receiving cavity which opens to an arcuate friction layer on the other hinge member which is disposed about the axis of relative rotation of the hinge members. A spring biased double faced wedging member is movable into and out of the center of the cavity and each face of the member is respective to a semi-cylindrical roller retention surface of the cavity. One face is more steeply sloped than the other. When the hinge members are in door closed position the less steeply sloped face resiliently holds a cylindrical roller against a roller retention surface and the friction layer. As the hinge members rotate toward door open position, the cylindrical roller rotates along the friction layer, past the less steeply sloped face, and into rolling contact with the other retention surface and friction layer under the bias of the more steeply sloped face.

Abstract: Reclining hinge structure for vehicle seat backs foldable forwardly for easy enter and exit and also adjustable to various reclined angular relationships with the seat bottom, such hinge structure particularly including at each side of the seat back first and second hinge parts with a first pivot for forward tilt about the seat bottom and a further pivot defining the reclining axis of adjustment for the seat back. Recliner latch structure is associated between the hinge parts and a latch release blocking member is movable during forward folding of the seat back so that manual release of the latch structure is prevented until the seat back is returned rearwardly. A hooked lever prevents inadvertent forward folding during release of the latch structure.

Abstract: A vehicle sunshade support assembly including a support member pivotally mounted to the vehicle body. A horizontally extending portion of the support has a bore therein and a keyway opening to the bore. The sunshade is attached to a horizontally extending rod which has a molded bushing of plastic material on an end configured to snugly be inserted into the bore and keyway. The sunshade and rod are rotatable as a unit within the bushing which is prevented from rotating by interaction between a key portion thereon and the keyway. Aligned slots in the horizontal support portion and the bushing receive a resilient retainer which holds the bushing axially in the bore.
