Publication number: 20090001748Abstract: A trim assembly for an interior of a passenger compartment of a vehicle comprises a first panel, a first shell, and a second shell. The first panel forms interior trim for the vehicle and defines a first receptacle. The first shell defines a convex surface and a concave surface and is removably coupled within the first receptacle so that one of the convex surface and the concave surface is exposed. The second shell defines a convex surface and a concave surface and is matable to the first shell to define a case. The case is removable from the first receptacle.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2008Publication date: January 1, 2009Applicant: BBI ENTERPRISES GROUP, INC.Inventors: Steven G. Brown, Timothy P.

Publication number: 20090001789Abstract: A panel assembly for a passenger compartment of a vehicle having passenger seating including a seat back is disclosed. A housing is mountable generally above the seat back within the passenger compartment. A light device is coupled to the housing and includes a first body portion and a second body portion being inelastic with the first body portion defining a first pivot axis. An illuminator is mounted to one of the body portions for selectively lighting a desired location over the passenger seating. A hinge is disposed between the body portions and spaced from the first pivot axis with the hinge defining a second pivot axis substantially parallel to the first pivot axis such that the second body portion rotates about the second pivot axis independently of rotation of the body portions about the first pivot axis for providing more accurate positioning of the illuminator to the desired location.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2008Publication date: January 1, 2009Applicant: BBI ENTERPRISES GROUP, INC.Inventors: Steven G. Brown, Timothy P. Parkin, Jerome J. Ennis, Michael P. Fahey

Patent number: 7406766Abstract: An apparatus (10) of the present invention is designed for assembling a load floor (12) having a peripheral slot (22) and an overlaying layer (24, 28). The apparatus (10) tucks the overhang of the overlaying layer (24, 28) into the peripheral slot (22). At least one holding device (52) holds the load floor (12). At least one tucking tool (54) tucks the overhang of the overlaying layer (24, 28) into the peripheral slot (22) to fold the overhang over the peripheral slot (22) and thereafter tucking the overhang into the peripheral slot (22). The invention includes a method of sequentially folding and thereafter tucking the overhang of the overlaying layers (24, 28) into the peripheral slot (22).Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2004Date of Patent: August 5, 2008Assignee: BBI Enterprises, L.P.Inventors: Michael Levesque, Steven G Brown, Guy W Boitos, Karem Akawi

Patent number: 7159919Abstract: A storage system (14) of a motor vehicle (10) presenting a cargo space defining an opening (18) for storing spare tires, tools, and the like. A load floor assembly (22) is configured to cover the opening (18) and to support various loads (41) positioned thereon. A cover (24) of the load floor assembly (22) is molded from a polystyrene or other foam composite. At least one laminate (18), formed from a hard board or other sheet material, is adhered to the cover (24). A support frame (40), formed from a foamed polypropylene, includes a density greater than the density of the cover (24) and therefore has a higher mass to provide a significant amount of structural benefits to the load floor assembly (22) for supporting and preventing a deflection of the cover (24) under the force of the loads (41) applied thereto.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2004Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Assignee: BBI Enterprises, L.P.Inventors: Steven G. Brown, Guy W. Boitos, Brett N. Woodson, Jay Ennis, Brandon Ye

Patent number: 6197403Abstract: An integral sound absorber and water deflector door panel positionable in space defined between an inner wall and a passenger compartment door panel of an automobile vehicle door assembly. The integral panel is composed of a first polymeric layer made of a water impervious polymeric film having an essentially constant thickness. The first polymeric layer has a first face adapted to contact the interiorly oriented face on the inner wall of the vehicle door assembly and remain in overlying parallel orientation thereto. A second polymeric layer is composed of a polymeric foam integrally connected to the second face of the first polymeric layer in continuous overlying relationship thereto. The second polymeric layer has an outer face opposed to the first polymeric layer which, preferably, has at least one region adapted to directly contact a portion of the exteriorly oriented face of the passenger compartment door panel.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1998Date of Patent: March 6, 2001Assignee: HP Pelzer (Automotive Systems), Inc.Inventors: Steven G. Brown, Guy W. Boitos

Patent number: 5147365Abstract: A patella osteotomy guide comprising a plier-like appliance with curved jaws for grasping a patient's patella. A row of teeth faces inwardly from the jaws. The teeth are generally of pyramid shape, but a vertex of each tooth lies in a plane containing a bottom side of the respective jaw. Each of the jaws has an integral saw capture slot and the tips of the jaws are extended. A rotating, calibrated stylus measures the position of the patella with respect to the integral saw capture slots. The rotating stylus also functions as a pivot or fulcrum about which the jaws and handles of the osteotomy guide rotate. Handles for the osteotomy guide are offset from the plane of the jaws. The rotating stylus can be displaced up and down and then locked into a selected position using a draw bar and captured balls. A bowed retaining ring imparts a certain amount of pre-load to the stylus and draw bar assembly to hold the assembly in a selected position.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 1991Date of Patent: September 15, 1992Assignee: Intermedics Orthopedics, Inc.Inventors: Steven I. Whitlock, Steven G. Brown

Patent number: 5112336Abstract: A drill guide and template for use in orthopedic surgery comprising a template and handle connected by a lockable universal joint. The handle further comprises a bent shaft. A template is provided with pins so that the template can be set into bone when accurately placed against a resected bony surface. The universal joint comprises a ball and socket joint with slots for increased adaptability. A threaded nut grips the ball against a distal end of the bent shaft. Tightening the nut onto shaft locks the ball in a selected position.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1991Date of Patent: May 12, 1992Assignee: Intermedics Orthopedics, Inc.Inventors: Janet L. Krevolin, Steven G. Brown

Patent number: 5021055Abstract: A patellar clamp and saw guide for preparing a patella to receive a prosthetic articulating surface on the patella's posterior side. A guide plate supports a saw block. The guide plate can be swiveled so that a sagittal saw can be presented to the patella from any desired angle. The saw block can be advanced or retracted axially so that more or less of the patella will be cut away by the saggittal saw. A scale enables the location of the proposed cut to be quickly and accurately determined. Storage apparatus in a handle of the clamp holds different specialized for use during surgery.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 1990Date of Patent: June 4, 1991Assignee: Intermedics Orthopedics, Inc.Inventors: Brian D. Burkinshaw, Steven G. Brown
