  • Patent number: 6550825
    Abstract: A cinching door latch has a fork bolt that pivots between a primary latched position and an unlatched position. A detent lever pivots between a an engaged position and a disengaged position holds the fork bolt in the primary latched position when in the engaged position and releases the fork bolt for movement to the unlatched position when in the disengaged position. A transfer lever pivots between a lock position and an unlock position is operatively connected to the detent lever for pivoting the detent lever to the disengaged position. A cinching mechanism assures that the fork bolt is pivoted to the primary latched position when the door is closed. The cinching mechanism has a cinching gear drivingly connected to the fork bolt, a power driven planetary gear set for driving the cinching gear, and a one-way device.

  • Patent number: 6378920
    Abstract: A vehicle closure has a deck lid latch that includes a disabling lever that is automatically engaged to disable the deck lid latch when the deck lid latch is unlatched. The disabling lever must be reset manually to restore normal latching operation of the deck lid latch. The disabling lever is reset manually by a control knob that is difficult to operate to avoid inadvertent resetting.

  • Patent number: 6123372
    Abstract: A door latch (10) with a cinching mechanism (16) having a manual override (18). The door latch (10) includes an enclosure (12) and a latching mechanism (14) disposed in the enclosure. The latching mechanism (12) has a fork bolt (20) moveable between an unlatched position, a secondary latched position, and a primary latched position. The cinching mechanism (16) has a cinching gear (24) that can drive the fork bolt (20) to the primary latched position. The cinching mechanism (16) also has a gear lever (30) to drive the cinching gear (24). A motor driven cable (34), in turn, drives the gear lever (30). A conduit (44) extends over part of the cable (34). The conduit (44) is attached to a conduit lever (46), which, in turn attaches to the enclosure (12).

  • Patent number: 6053542
    Abstract: A vehicle door latch has a rotatable forkbolt that is latched by a detent in a primary or an intermediate secondary latch position. The detent is operated via an intermittent lever that is operated by a transfer lever that is actuated by inside and outside door handles via suitable mechanical linkage. The door latch includes a locking lever that disables the door handles from operating the intermittent lever when it is in the locked position. The door latch also includes a cinching mechanism that automatically engages the forkbolt in the primary latch position when the intermediate secondary latch position is reached. The cinching mechanism includes a link that has one end connected to a cinch pawl and another end connected to the latch assembly. The link pulls on the pawl to disengage it from a cinching gear to allow the cinching gear to return to the standby or home position during an unlatching operation.

  • Patent number: 4207728
    Abstract: The manufacture of yarn in a non-rotational spinning chamber, using the air jets directed by a system of passages, the air flow stream rotating quickly becomes restricted to the whirl core, and swirled air flow is forced along the spinning chamber walls. The cylindrical, non-rotational chamber has one closed end and an insert incorporating a yarn discharge channel. Also provided as part of the chamber are peripherally disposed air supply ducts and a fiber delivery channel. The chamber is provided with a cylindrical element and air guides disposed under a fiber ring arranged at the chamber outlet.

  • Patent number: 4073128
    Abstract: The method and apparatus for manufacture of yarn from natural- and synthetic fibres, using a pneumatic spinning technique. The method according to the present invention is directed to fibres entrained in an air jet stream introduced into the non-rotational spinning chamber containing the fibres. The air jets having been whirled into the chamber by a system of nozzles and some portion of the air jet, in which the fibres are entrained, becomes separated inside the chamber and directed to the whirl cone zone to reduce the flow rate within this whirl core. The apparatus for carrying out the method of the invention consists of a cylindrical, non-rotational spinning chamber having a cylindrical insert disposed therein at one end and peripheral air supply ducts, as well as a fibre delivery channel at the other end. The insert at the side of a yarn discharge channel inlet, incorporates the peripheral ports provided with inlet means located between the channel and the ducts.

  • Patent number: 4073129
    Abstract: In manufacturing yarn inside a cylindrical, non-rotational chamber, air jets cause rotational motion to the fibers introduced into the chamber. The whirl core vacuum suction zone, i.e. on the cylindrical insert lower face and/or in the chamber outlet, where the whirl core intensification takes place, the rotating velocity of the air stream whirled into the chamber interior becomes inhibited by reducing the rotating velocity within the whirl core. The chamber is provided with peripheral ducts to supply air and also a fiber delivering channel. A cylindrical insert has a lower face that has attached thereto, restricting blades 9 arranged in the chamber outlet from the vacuum source side.

  • Patent number: 4070812
    Abstract: The apparatus for pneumatic manufacture of yarn from natural or synthetic fibers employs a non-rotational chamber, has an insert which contains a central yarn discharge channel, circumferential ducts to supply air as well as a fiber delivery channel at the upper portion. The insert has the guides arranged about its lower periphery, the bottom edges of these guides being screened with a shielding ring, and the air supply air ducts are located beneath the upper edges of the guides. In an alternative design, the guides are associated with the distribution ring, whose lateral inner face is in common with the insert wall and guides to thereby form air passages.
