Abstract: A method of stamping and punching at several stations, an opening in a vehicle rood panel to provide for sunroof installation is described. A preformed recess is stamped into the top section of the panel to define a perimeter for a sunroof opening. The stamping of the preform comprises locating the roof panel in a stamping press beneath a press die where the die is aligned with the perimeter of the desired position for the sunroof opening. The preform recess is stamped in the panel where the preform is characterized by having a first bend which defines the opening perimeter and comprises rounded corner portions interconnected a front, rear and two side edges. A downwardly extending flange which becomes a sidewall of the sunroof opening is provided and has a length at least equal to the depth of a sealed portion of the sunroof panel and a second bend extending opposite to the first bend for interconnecting flange to the base portion of the recess.

Abstract: A cigarette snuffer for extinguishing a lit cigarette is made of a cylindrical thin-wall tube having an open end section and a closed end section, with two diametrically opposed slots in the tube wall extending between the closed end section and open end section for enabling a user to grasp and remove an extinguished cigarette disposed in the tube. The slots have a sufficient width along the circumference of the tube such that a portion of the cigarette placed therein extends beyond the internal tube wall at opposite sides of the tube. The slots are spaced at least about one inch or one-fourth to one-third the length of the tube from the closed end of the tube.
