  • Publication number: 20130207441
    Abstract: While transporting a child within a car seat, a harness and buckle assembly falls into the seat depression on removing the child from the seat, necessitating reaching into the seat to locate and retrieve the harness from under the child on replacement. This invention provides a set of sleeves covering a portion of the harness, and a second set of sleeves containing an embedded magnet to connect with a similar magnet set upon each side of the safety seat. The harness webs are attached to the side of the seat by magnets, providing an area clear of harness clutter. A rotatable handle attached to a buckle assembly, allows the buckle assembly to be manipulated and stored clear while replacing a child in the seat. The total assembly can be retrofitted to existing safety seats without any disassembly or parts replacement.

  • Patent number: 6669897
    Abstract: A method of treating a surface of a stacked aluminum alloy ingot during a heating process. Spacer blocks are positioned adjacent aluminum alloy ingots to form a stack, wherein the spacer block has a support surface contacting a contact surface of the aluminum alloy ingot, and at least one of the support surface and the contact surface include a fluorine containing material. The stack is heated to at least a temperature at which the fluorine containing material decomposes or vaporizes such that a layer of a fluorinated oxide compound is formed at the interfaces between the ingots and the spacer blocks.
