Abstract: The invention is a lower anchorage system to be used with a child restraint in a motor vehicle. The lower anchorage system has a trim assembly that attaches to an anchorage bar that in turn is affixed to an anchorage support. The trim assembly includes a trim apparatus that fits within an anchorage box. Both the anchorage box and the trim apparatus engage to the anchorage bar.

Abstract: A parking brake lock-in key switch system for a truck or bus brake system. The system has two parking brake lock-in valves. One parking brake lock-in valve is installed in the air line piping between the primary air tank and the push pull double check valve and the second parking brake lock-in valve is in the air line piping between the secondary air tank and the push pull double check valve. The parking brake lock-in valves are air operated valves which when closed will look in actuated parking brakes. The parking brake lock-in valves are operated by a solenoid operated pilot valve which provides air from an air supply to close the lock-in valves when the ignition key is moved to the ‘off’ position. An actuated parking brake will be locked in because new air from the respective tanks will be prevented from flowing to the push pull double check valve and hence the brake chambers. The parking brake lock-in valve does not vent off downstream piping when it closes.

Abstract: An electric torquing device comprises a d-c. motor for producing an output torque that varies in proportion to variations in the armature current, a power source for supplying d-c. current to the armature to produce an output torque, and regulating means for maintaining the d-c. current at a relatively low level during the run-on stage of a torquing operation. Sensing means responsive to a preselected parameter of the torquing operation, such as the velocity of the motor output, produces a control signal when the tightening stage of the torquing operation begins. Control means responsive to the control signal from the sensing means adjusts the regulation of the d-c. current to maintain the current supply to the armature at a relatively high level during the tightening stage of the torquing operation.
