Abstract: Described is a sleeve device having a sleeve body for insertion into a vehicle frame of a vehicle seat. The sleeve body includes a tubular wall with an inner axial passage configured to receive a rod of a headrest and at least one elastomeric element overmolded to an outer surface of the sleeve device. The elastomeric elements may be provided in the form of ribs, rings, or other shapes. Additionally or alternatively, the sleeve device includes a latching mechanism having one or more flexible tabs configured to limit lateral and/or vertical movement.

Abstract: A linear damper includes a rack, a carriage, a gear assembly, and a spring. The rack includes a connector. The carriage is slidably engaged with the rack. The gear assembly is between the carriage and the rack. The spring is secured to the rack to selectively urge the carriage away from the connector.

Abstract: A muntin clip has a bar support adapted to be connected to a muntin bar end and a base member adapted to be connected to a spacer frame. The bar support has a plurality of flexible support members attached thereto, which are adapted to contact the opposed interior walls of the muntin bar end and deform in response to such contact. The base member has latching structure adapted to be connected to the spacer frame. The base member further has an abutment member adapted to be engaged by an ejector pin to facilitate removal of the muntin clip from a mold.

Abstract: A brake shoe assembly is mounted in a sash window assembly. The sash window assembly has a sash window slidably supported within a master frame and the master frame has tracks. The brake shoe assembly has a slider body adapted to be received in the track of the master frame. The slider body has a central opening and further has an upper opening in communication with the central opening. A cam is positioned in the central opening and is adapted to receive a pivot pin attached to the sash window. A clip is positioned in the upper opening. The clip is accessible from proximate a top of the slider body for connection to and removal from the slider body.
