Patent number: 10539237Abstract: A static gasket and method of construction thereof is provided. The gasket includes a functional layer constructed of one type of metal having an opening bounded by an inner periphery an outer periphery. The gasket further includes a carrier layer constructed of a different metal than the functional layer. The carrier layer has an opening bounded by an inner periphery configured to receive the outer periphery of the functional layer in a line-to-line or loose fit. The functional layer is configured in substantially coplanar relation with the carrier layer with a first portion of the outer periphery of the functional layer being welded to a radially aligned first portion of the inner periphery of the carrier layer. A second portion of the outer periphery of the functional layer remains detached from a radially aligned second portion of the inner periphery of the carrier layer.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2018Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Tenneco Inc.Inventors: Thomas W. Swasey, Carl Schenten, Mark Bowman, John Sas, Rolf Prehn, Carlos Santiago, Tim O'Keefe, Michael Shirilla, Thomas O. Zurfluh, Kyle T. Roberts

Patent number: 10532783Abstract: An apparatus for lifting and rotating a frame of a motor vehicle includes a rotisserie and a rotatably connected fixture that holds the motor vehicle frame during production. The fixture includes clamps extending from arms of the fixture and clamps extending from the front support for affixing the frame of the motor vehicle to the fixture. The fixture may further include a passive lock mechanism for engaging a side sill of the frame that includes a latch, a locking extension, a latch spring that holds the latch in engagement with the frame, and a pendulum that rotates relative to the fixture but remains oriented in a fixed location relative to horizontal. The latch may only be disengaged from the frame when the locking extension is aligned to be received by a slot in the pendulum when the fixture is rotated to the home location.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2015Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Matthew Taylor, Mark Bowman, Werner Wilson, Steven Boyer, Donald K Ingles, Sandip Suvedi

Publication number: 20110168963Abstract: The present invention relates to a temporary fencing panel 10 comprising a frame 20 that defines an opening 29 and a mesh 30. The mesh 30 is located within the opening 29 of the frame 20 and is attached to the frame 20. This results in a panel that is safer to handle than conventional temporary fencing panels because there are no mesh ends that are loose or protrude from the frame on which a person may injure themselves.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2011Publication date: July 14, 2011Applicant: STEELHOARD LTDInventor: Mark BOWMAN
