Abstract: An assist hand tool adapted for use in installing a vehicle door hinge pin comprising an L-shaped blockpiece having a forwardly extending bifurcated head portion terminating at its aft end in a downwardly extending bifurcated body portion. The bifurcated head portion has a pair of forwardly extending side walls defining a pin-receiving slot and the bifurcated base portion terminating at its lower end in a pair of downwardly extending body side walls defines a lever-receiving slot. An operating lever comprises an elongated handle section extending rearwardly through the body slot aft opening and a jaw section extending through the body slot forward opening. The handle section and the jaw section have their proximate ends interconnected by an inclined pivot section pivotally connected by a transverse pivot pin to the body walls. The head portion is cooperatively sized for snug fit between an upper and lower pair of door-half hinge flanges.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wire harness retainer stud adhesively bonded to an automobile body panel. This stud is used to mount a wire harness to automobile body panels. The stud contains a contact adhesive and an uncured adhesive. The contact adhesive is used to mount the stud to the body panel until the stud and panel are heated to cure the uncured adhesive, thereby bonding the stud to the panel. A method of, and apparatus for, automated assembly of the stud is also disclosed.
