  • Patent number: 4432575
    Abstract: An adjustable lock striker bolt assembly includes an anchor plate which is manually snap assembled to a retention bracket by an operator without tools and with limited access to the inside of the lock pillar. The retention bracket includes a pair of spaced laterally extending retention flanges, each including a retention slot. The anchor plate includes a thickened central body portion and a pair of legs extending oppositely therefrom. To assemble the anchor plate to the bracket, one leg of the anchor plate is inserted through the slot of one flange until the central body portion contains the one flange. This locates the edge portion of the other leg in engagement with the other flange. Manual pressure of the anchor plate snaps the edge portion of the other leg into the slot of the other flange.

  • Patent number: 4169574
    Abstract: A longitudinally extending track assembly connects the inboard side of the seat bottom frame to the vehicle body for fore and aft adjusting longitudinal movement and supports the seat bottom frame at at least two longitudinally spaced points to support the seat bottom frame against forward and rearward pitching movement. A longitudinally extending outboard track member is mounted on the vehicle body adjacent the outboard side of the seat bottom frame. A one-point track engaging means carried by the seat bottom frame is slidably interengaged in the track member to support the outboard side of the seat bottom frame for fore and aft sliding movement. The one-point track engaging means is located forwardly of the rearward portion of the seat bottom frame so that the outboard side of the seat bottom frame is cantilevered rearwardly of the outboard track member when the seat is adjusted full rearwardly and is spaced above the vehicle body floor.
