Abstract: A vehicle seat is provided which, in a preferred embodiment, includes a seat bun platform, a seatback angularly inclined with respect to the bun platform and having a normal seating position and a folded forward position, an inertia latch mechanism having a first position allowing free forward angular movement of the seatback during normal conditions and a second position preventing forward angular movement of the seatback during excessive vehicle decelerations, and an armrest pivotally connected to the seatback having a first usage position and a second storage position wherein the inertia latch is locked in a second position whenever the armrest is in the first position.

Abstract: An exhaust reactor manifold having a reaction chamber formed by a hardened insulative ceramic liner which is supported within a protective housing. The liner walls are protected and insulated by compessible fibrous insulation. Springs and wedges in the housing act through the insulation blanket to load the liner walls in compression. Inlet and exhaust ports are provided through angled sealing surfaces of the liner which are urged by the compressive loading of the liner into engagement with mating surfaces of a ported mounting portion of the housing.
