Abstract: Seat hinge for two door vehicle including a yieldable pivoted latch permitting forward seat back tilting to facilitate rear seat passenger entrance and exit without manual latch release and an inertia element responsive to vehicle deceleration for blocking latch release.

Abstract: Continuously adjustable pivoted hinge, such as employed for automotive vehicle recliner seat back, wherein a toothed sector on one hinge element is retained by a toothed pawl on the other which has freedom of mounting connection at least equal to the pitch of one tooth in order to accommodate full tooth engagement for any continuously variable relative position of the sector. A pair of pivotally anchored cam elements engage angularly related cam surfaces on the pawl after its full tooth engagement with the sector. Variable travel of cam surface to accommodate fully engaged prepositioned pawl with self-locking angle resisting pawl displacement in either angular direction from sector tooth pressure, is sufficient to accommodate at least one tooth displacement of the pawl in order to lock the pawl in any position of initial full tooth engagement. The pawl is pivotally mounted at the hinge pivot with a radial slot to accommodate tooth disengagement.

Abstract: A lift truck upright having a fixed upright section, a telescopic upright section, and a load carrier mounted on the telescopic section. A pair of main lift cylinder assemblies are located adjacent opposite sides of the upright, and a second pair of relatively short free-lift cylinder assemblies are located inwardly adjacent the main lift cylinders, the pairs of lift cylinders are mounted from the fixed upright section and are hydraulically connected in parallel, and of such relative size that the free-lift cylinders and main cylinders always actuate in the proper sequence to first elevate the load carrier in free-lift and then the load carrier with the telescopic section.
