Abstract: An automotive door hinge assembly is provided with a hold-open device with a leaf spring member carried on a first part of a hinge assembly, and a compound roller carried on a second part of the hinge assembly, wherein the compound roller engages the leaf spring member with the combination of a flexible and resilient first material portion and a hard, rigid second material portion of the roller assembly during its motion between the door open and door closed positions.

Abstract: An apparatus for fixing the relative position of components within an automotive seat track mechanism. Such mechanisms are conventionally powered by electric motor drive, such as a motor with multiple armatures or by using separate motors mounted on a unitary platform or by using clutch activated members driven by a single motor. The output of the motor drive is transmitted through respective gearing to lead screws or rack and pinions within or adjacent to the tracking structures at both sides of the seat to translate the seat horizontally. The motor drive output is also transmitted to operate individual lead screws or rack and pinions within or adjacent one structure for the vertical seat movements. The motor mount is secured to the tracking structure at one side of the seat. A simple light weight holding rod secures the motor mount to the opposed side structure to produce a rigid, yet readily detachable motor mount.
