  • Patent number: 6651387
    Abstract: A locking controller mounted inside a sliding door. The locking controller is operated in connection with an inner handle resiliently returned to a neutral position when being turned in a door opening direction or in a door closing direction. If the inner handle is pulled or pushed in the door opening direction in the state that the sliding door is closed, the inner handle is turned in the door opening direction from the neutral position to release a door-close maintaining mechanism. If the inner handle is pulled or pushed in the door closing direction in the state that the sliding door is open, the inner handle is turned in the door closing direction from the neutral position to release a door-open maintaining mechanism. Therefore, a simple operation that the inner handle is turned in one direction makes the opening or shutting of the sliding door possible.

  • Patent number: 6616202
    Abstract: Disclosed is an inner handle assembly mounted on a sliding door of a car. An inner handle is fixed at a housing to rotate in both directions and always returned to a neutral position by an inner handle operation controlling mechanism. Therefore, if the inner handle is turned in the door opening direction or if the door closing direction from the neutral position, a door-open maintaining mechanism or a door-close maintaining mechanism is released. Therefore, only by applying power in any one direction of the inner handle, the sliding door can be easily opened or shut.

  • Patent number: 6561557
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for opening and closing a sliding door. When an inner handle is pivoted in a door opening direction in a state wherein a sliding door is closed, as the inner handle is pivoted from a neutral position in the door opening direction, a door-closed-status holding mechanism is unlocked by a locking controller. Also, when the inner handle is pivoted in a door closing direction in a state wherein the sliding door is opened, as the inner handle is pivoted from the neutral position in the door closing direction, a door-opened-status holding mechanism is unlocked by the locking controller.

  • Patent number: 6284184
    Abstract: A method for laser marking one or more colors on a plastic substrate is disclosed. A polymeric blend or mixture comprising two or more polymeric systems is utilized to produce a molded component. The various polymeric systems are heated to form a polymeric blend or mixture that is in a molten flowable state. The polymeric mixture is then shaped into the desired end product, preferably by injection molding. While molding, the polymeric mixture separates according to the different densities of the polymers; with the lightest density polymers migrating toward the inner surface of the mold and the heavier density polymers centralizing within the interior of the mold. The lightest density polymer forms the outer surface of the molded product, which may essentially constitute an outer layer coating disposed around the other polymeric systems. Upon removal of the cured layered product, the skin layer is then preferably ablated using a laser to expose the polymers of desired color beneath the outer layer.
