Filed:

Jan 6, 1975

Appl. No.:

5/538538

Inventors:

Ronald D. Moore - Grosse Pointe MI
Everett L. Bethel - Sterling Heights MI

Assignee:

Chivas Products Limited - Warren MI

International Classification:

A47B 9502
B60J 720

US Classification:

24265R

Abstract:

The fitting is an elongated door or like pull strap which is ornamental and well suited for blending, or contrasting, with the decor of a passenger automobile interior. Certain embodiments are intended for installation on a door or other interior panel of a vehicle of the so-called luxury type; in other adaptations use in a less expensive or standard, less luxuriously appointed vehicle is contemplated. However, in all forms a basic and common feature relates to a bracket-mounted strap which presents a well cushioned or padded surface which faces the associated auto panel and is therefore felt by the fingers of the hand of a vehicle occupant; this is diametrically opposed to a finger grip on the rigid, inherently unyielding surface characteristic of automotive door and related pull straps in current use, which surface faces the panel also.

Appl. No.:

6/156760

Inventors:

Ronald D. Moore - Grosse Pointe MI

Assignee:

Chivas Products, Limited - Sterling Heights MI

International Classification:

A47B 9502

US Classification:

16125

Abstract:

A vehicle assist strap having a central metal core with exposed ends which are secured to a vehicle body via an anti-rotation member. The anti-rotation member is completely concealed by covers which also conceal the fasteners and the ends of the strap. Since the anti-rotation member is completely concealed by the covers, it can be fabricated from relatively inexpensive materials and by relatively inexpensive manufacturing processes. Furthermore, the anti-rotation member is configured to be secured to the strap ends without an additional manufacturing step.

Assignee:

Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

B60R 2500

US Classification:

307 103

Abstract:

A security system for an automotive vehicle having an engine is operatively connected between engine running electrical components which are connected to an electrical power source and a lock switch having at least two operative positions. The security system has a lock switch operator having a memory device carried thereon with a first security code stored in the memory device. A theft control module having a memory storing a second security code is operatively connected between the switch and the engine running electrical devices. The theft control module operates to first permit the engine running electrical components to enable the starting of the engine and then to compare the first and second security codes. Upon finding the first security code not equal to the second security code, the engine running electrical components are disconnected from the electrical power source which disables the engine.

Assignee:

Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

H04Q 100

US Classification:

34082531

Abstract:

A method for programming a lock to accept a key. The device will erase all the codes currently stored in the memory and program a new key value. The process requires several steps of turning the key to one of two positions when an LED is illuminated to indicate that the key must be rotated. After successful responses, all the codes currently stored are cleared and the security code of the new key is stored.

International Classification:

A47B 9502
A45C 1326

US Classification:

24265R

Abstract:

This invention pertains to a novel ornamental strap or handle particularly suited for use as door pulls, assist straps, or the like in automobiles or the like. The invention provides a strap having a luxurious cushioned feel when grasped by an individual, a decorative appearance and strength and rigidity to accomplish its intended purpose. The strap of the present invention includes a base strip with a cushion strip of generous thickness disposed on at least one side thereof and a suitable cover strip wrapped securely around the base and cushion members. A trim strip is disposed over and conceals the longitudinal edges of the cover strip and is secured thereto by any suitable means such as dielectric heat fusion. Means are also provided to cushion the hard feel of the lateral edges of the base member. Thus, a decorative strap is provided which has a smooth wrinkle-free aesthetically pleasing contour and creates a soft plush luxurious feeling when engaged by the hand.

Appl. No.:

7/687138

Inventors:

Ronald G. Moore - Northville MI

Assignee:

General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI

International Classification:

E05F 1144

US Classification:

49351

Abstract:

A lift arm is pivotally mounted on the motor vehicle and has an end which is connected to the sash channel by a roller or slide. As the lift arm is lowered, the lift arm pivots relative to the sash channel. A stop element in the form of a channel is carried by the sash channel and projects into overlying relationship with the lift arm so that the stop element comes into interfering engagement with the lift arm at a predetermined lowered position of the window to thereby prevent any further relative pivoting movement between the lift arm and the sash channel to thereby stop the window at the predetermined lowered position.

Assignee:

Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

E05B 5300

US Classification:

34082531

Abstract:

A method for programming a spare key containing an electronic coded security code into the memory of a security system whereby a known key is inserted into the lock cylinder and the security device is triggered to read its encoded security code. If within a period of time an unknown key is inserted into the lock cylinder, the encoded security code of the unknown key is then inserted into the system memory. The new key security code becomes an additional acceptable security code to open the lock in response to receiving the first (authorized) security code.

Filed:

Appl. No.:

6/268794

Inventors:

Ronald D. Moore - Grosse Pointe MI

Assignee:

Chivas Products Limited - Sterling Heights MI

International Classification:

B60R 1302

US Classification:

428172

Abstract:

A trim piece for mounting to an interior panel of an automobile having a relatively rigid support member, foam padding, and an outer cover of vinyl or cloth. The cover and the foam padding are dielectrically bonded to the relatively rigid support member contiguous the edges of the trim member without enveloping the edges of the support member to provide a trim piece which mates with the surface of the interior panel. The method for making the trim piece involves using a dielectric die which defines an acute angle between an upper and lower die half, the acute angle being contiguous with the edge of the trim piece and being oblique with respect to the movement of the die halves. The lower die half mates with the support member and the upper die half mates with the vinyl cover at the points of dielectric bonding.
