  • Patent number: 5037155
    Abstract: A seat base having protruding members fixed to the underside thereof that are positioned within mating recesses formed in the fenderdeck of a vehicle. The base is clamped to the fenderdeck by a pair of screws. The screws and mating features defined between the seat base and fenderdeck secure the base to the vehicle to prevent shifting of the seat during operation. If the screws become loosened during operation, the protruding members will engage side walls of the recesses to prevent the base from shifting fore and aft suddenly and unexpectedly, and to alert the operator that the screws have become loosened.

  • Patent number: 4930334
    Abstract: A quick change apparatus for a trim die assembly is provided to reduce die set-up and change-over time. The trim die assembly is provided with lift hooks for the forks of a forklift truck to carry it between storage and the press and to eliminate potentially damaging contact between the keyways in the bottom of the die and the forks. Locating pins and stops are provided between the press and die assembly to permit quick and positive positioning of the die assembly above the press bed. The connecting post between the part locator member of the trim die and the press has been modified to eliminate its projection beneath the die assembly and therefore eliminate damage to the post during set-up, movement and/or storage. The modified post is also adapted to assist in the positioning of the die assembly on the press bed.
