  • Patent number: 7186118
    Abstract: An electrification system for use with an article slidably supported on a track within a vehicle is provided. The electrification system comprises a conductor assembly including a positive conductive interface supported parallel and adjacent to a negative conductive interface. The conductor assembly is configured to extend substantially the length of the track. The electrification system further comprises a contact assembly including a positive contact in electrical communication with the positive conductive interface and a negative contact in electrical communication with the negative conductive interface. The contact assembly is configured to be fixed relative to the article. The contact assembly remains in electrical communication with the conductor assembly as the article is selectively moved along the track to provide continuous electrical power to the article as the article is moved.

  • Patent number: 6082286
    Abstract: A shifter for shifting a transmission between a plurality of gear positions includes a base having a stationary member with indicia corresponding to the gear positions, a shift lever operably supported on the base for movement between the gear positions, and an improved position indicator adapted to better highlight limited portions of the indicia to indicate the selected gear position of the shift lever. The position indicator includes a support member configured to move with the shift lever that includes a window positioned to allow light to pass therethrough to visibly luminate parts of the indicia corresponding to the selected gear positions as the shift lever is moved between the plurality of gear positions.

  • Patent number: 6067873
    Abstract: A shifter assembly for a vehicle transmission includes a base with a mounting structure having inwardly facing, opposing pivot-defining apertures defining an axis of rotation, and access channels that extend upwardly and forwardly at about 35 to 40 degrees into the opposing pivot-defining apertures in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation when the base is in a vehicle-installed position. A shift lever includes cylindrically-shaped pivot bosses configured to slide along the access channels into operative rotational engagement with the pivot-defining apertures. The pivot bosses and the pivot-defining apertures have diameters that characteristically are about equal to a width of the access channels, such that the shift lever can be assembled to the base by sliding the pivot bosses along the channels snap-lockingly into the pivot-defining apertures.
