Abstract: A jack extension tube for use on power seat adjuster mechanisms for vehicles is provided comprising an elongated tube having a first section and a second section spaced from the first section. A threaded member includes a knurled outer surface and is frictionally retained in the first section by inwardly extruding the tube onto the threaded member, the threaded member being engageable longitudinally from one end of said tube by a jack screw. The second section of the tube includes a pair of transversely oriented opposing apertures formed in the tube sidewalls and adapted to receive a pin-like member or fastener. The material defining the apertures is extruded in the transverse direction followed by collapsing the tube sidewalls so that the opposing flanges abut one another. Thus, the flanges provide a continuous, enlarged, work-hardened bearing surface to support the pin-like member or fastener.

Abstract: A hinge for a vehicle deck lid includes a housing, a pivot pin mounted therein, a hinge arm mounted on the pivot pin, a lift spring to bias the hinge arm toward an open position and thereby counterbalance the weight of the deck lid, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the tension in the lift spring. The adjustment mechanism includes a ratchet mechanism made up of pawls on the pivot pin and catches on the housing that allows one-way rotation of the pivot pin to more tightly wind the lift spring. The ratchet mechanism further includes a bias spring that biases the pawls and catches into engagement, the bias spring having a tension that can be overcome to release the ratchet mechanism and release the tension in the lift spring.

Abstract: A hinge for pivotably mounting a panel to a vehicle body includes a panel attachment plate securable to the panel, a body attachment plate securable to the vehicle body, and an intermediate member pivotably attached between the body and panel attachment plates. The intermediate member has opposite sidewalls and a center flange extending between the sidewalls. The sidewalls engage the body attachment plate with the center flange spaced from the body attachment plate when the intermediate member is pivoted such that the sidewalls are positioned generally along the body attachment plate. The intermediate member may include a stop member for limiting pivotal movement of the panel attachment plate. The stop member may limit such pivotal movement at different positions by being cut to different sizes during manufacture of the hinge. The body attachment plate may provide a hinge portion that provides enhanced structural rigidity to the hinge.

Abstract: A jack extension tube preferably for vehicles is provided which comprises an elongated tube with a threaded nut securely mounted therein, and a jack screw received in an open end of the tube and threadably received in the threaded nut. The tube has a first flange extending inwardly adjacent an inner end of the threaded nut and a second flange extending inwardly adjacent an outer end of the threaded nut whereby the threaded nut is securely retained within the elongated tube between the first and second flanges. The threads on the threaded nut can be involute threads to reduce noise, wear and chucking between the nut and the screw. The threaded nut can be formed of a rigid synthetic resin material. Further, a stop can be provided on one of the jack screw inner end and the threaded nut inner end whereby the stop prevents the threads on the jack screw from being separated from the threads on the threaded nut during rotation of the jack screw relative to the threaded nut and allowing for a low starting torque when the screw is rotated in a reverse direction.

Abstract: A hinge arm for a vehicle includes a tubular member having a first portion for attaching a panel thereto, a second portion for pivotally mounting to the vehicle, and a third portion for rigidly interconnecting the first and second portions so that the panel can be stably moved in a defined arc between open and closed positions. The first portion is shaped to provide panel attachment and includes a flattened side, two lateral sides extending therefrom, and an opposite side that is partially deformed against the lateral sides to support the flat side. The second portion includes a flattened wall with a transverse hole establishing an axis of rotation, and an extruded support surface extruded from the wall around the hole to improve durability. The third portion rigidly interconnects the first and second portions, and is shaped to avoid interferences on the vehicle, receive wires for routing therein, and provide drainage for moisture collected therein.

Abstract: A jack extension tube preferably for vehicles is provided which comprises a tube having a first section with an open end and a second section spaced from the first section, the elongated tube made from a first material. A nut made from a second material less rigid than the first material is fixedly mounted in the first section, the nut having first and second opposed faces and a threaded bore therethrough. The threaded bore preferably terminates in the first and second faces of the nut. Extruded holes are provided in the second section adapted to receive a fastener, a jack screw is received in the first section open end and is threadably received in the threaded bore of the nut. The jack screw has at least one of an exposed end with a gear, an opposite end defining a stop which retains the nut on the jack screw when the nut is threaded to the opposite end of the jack screw, and a gear housing mounted adjacent to the screw. The jack screw is thereby threadingly mounted for movement between a fully extended and a fully retracted position with respect to the nut. The nut preferably has an extension extending outwardly from each of the first and second faces thereof, the extensions made from a third material less rigid than the first material. The extension on each face of the nut is configured so as to contact the at least one of the gear, the stop, and the gear housing to thereby prevent the screw both from damaging the nut by drawing the at least one of the gear, the stop, and the gear housing into the nut as well as drawing the at least one of the gear, the stop, and the gear housing into the elongated tube as the jack screw approaches the fully extended or fully retracted positions with respect to the nut.

Abstract: An extendable hinge is provided including a hinge base attachable to a vehicle, a panel bracket attachable to a vehicle body panel such as rear gate or trunk lid, and a hinge member pivotally attachable to the hinge base and slideably attachable to the panel bracket. The hinge base and the hinge member include a "camelback" bend for increased strength. The panel bracket is configured with a low profile and the hinge member is configured to slideably receive the panel bracket so that a minimum amount of space is consumed and further so that the panel bracket can be slideably moved within the hinge member from an extended position which facilitates painting to a retracted position which positions the vehicle body panel for optimal aesthetics. Flanges on the hinge member and the panel bracket define integral stops that engage to limit the panel movement at the extended and retracted positions.
