Abstract: An assembly jig includes a first frame adjustably fastened to a vehicle body in the vicinity of a door opening, a second frame with supporting the door of the vehicle, and link arms between the first and second frames that are hinged to the first and second frames so as to form a deformable quadrilateral in association therewith. Hinges between the arms and the frames include at least one ball joint arranged between a carrier element secured to one of the frames or arms and a carried element secured to one of the arms or frames, carrying being relative to the effect of gravity, wherein at least one of the carrier and carried ball joint elements is secured to the corresponding arm or frame in such a manner that the position in three-dimensional space of the center of the ball joint is adjustable in three spatial directions.

Abstract: An assembly jig for a vehicle door panel is provided. The jig includes a first frame with means for adjustably fastening it to a vehicle body in the vicinity of a door opening, a second frame with means for supporting the door of the vehicle on the second frame, and link arms between the first and second frames that are hinged to the first and second frames so as to form a deformable quadrilateral in association therewith. The hinges between the arms and the frames include at least one ball joint arranged between a carrier element secured to one of the frames or arms and a carried element secured to one of the arms or frames, carrying being relative to the effect of gravity, wherein at least one of the carrier and carried ball joint elements is secured to the corresponding arm or frame in such a manner that the position in three-dimensional space of the center of the ball joint is adjustable in three spatial directions.

Abstract: Access to the top of a caged ladder (2, 3) is barred by the device of the invention which comprises a door panel (6) and a closure member (10) both hinged about respective vertical axes (7b, 12), and interconnected like a pair of compasses by a hinge piece (11) and a lever (14) which engages in a slot (13) of the hinge piece.

Abstract: A panel (6) has a flap (9) for closing a person-passing opening (4') (e.g. leading into a ladder cage (4)) and is pivotally mounted to one of the risers of the ladder (1). A locking element (10) having a padlock-receiving hole (12) is pivotally mounted on the other riser (2) and is connected by a first link (14) to an intermediate lever (16) having a finger (23) for holding the panel (6) in its closed position, said intermediate lever being operable from inside the cage (24) by means of an operating lever (21).
