Publication number: 20140130622Abstract: A barrier assembly for a motor vehicle having a shift lever and a kit for assembling the barrier assembly are disclosed. The barrier assembly has a retainer, a lever plate, seals and spacers. The retainer has a retainer aperture extending from a first surface to a second surface. The lever plate is moveable and has a lever opening extending from a first face to a second face. A gliding surface allows the lever plate to move in a planar motion parallel to the retainer while supported on the retainer. A first seal is located on the first face of the lever plate proximal to the lever opening. A second seal is located on the first face of the lever plate distal to the lever opening. Spacers project from the retainer distal to the retainer aperture.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2011Publication date: May 15, 2014Applicant: International Truck Intellectual Property Company, LLCInventors: Nicholas Michael Cassaday, Craig Alan Newman, David M.

Patent number: 8413567Abstract: The disclosed vehicle armor includes a first layer forming an interior bottom surface of the cabin and comprised of a high-strength metal material, a second layer forming an exterior bottom surface of the cabin and comprised of a high-strength metal material, and, a middle layer sandwiched between the first and second layers and comprised of a polymer material. The underbelly device is configured having a plurality of high areas and low areas creating deflection faces and separation distances between an interior of the cabin and an exterior threat. A second, multi-layer composite structure, forming an interior floor of the cabin, may be incorporated as a fragmentation penetration barrier.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2011Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: International Truck Intellectual Property Company, LLCInventors: Regis Luther, Walter John Budd, Louis Caballero, David M Gerst, Craig Alan Newman, Mike Kochman
