Abstract: A refueling cap assembly for opening and closing a filler neck of a fuel tank has a frame which is mounted to the filler neck of the fuel tank. A cover is pivotally mounted to the frame to move between open and closed positions for opening and closing the filler neck. A locking mechanism, having a locking body, is mounted to the frame for securing the cover to the filler neck in the closed position. The locking body moves between a locked position engaging a finger projecting from the cover to secure the cover to the filler neck, and a release position releasing the cover from the filler neck. The cap assembly is characterized by the locking body moveable in a flip flop manner and having a first abutment to retain the locking body in the locked position when the cover is in the closed position, and a second abutment to retain the locking body in the released position when the cover is in the open position. The locking body flip flops between the locked and released positions upon repeated engagement of the cover with the locking mechanism.

Abstract: A tailgate for a vehicle has a supplemental tailgate that retracts within the tailgate and is extendable therefrom in order to provide bed extender, box extender and step assist functions. The supplemental tailgate includes a pivotable molding, which mounts on a movable frame portion, and a latching assembly. When pivoted, the pivotable molding releases the latching assembly, allowing the supplemental tailgate to be moved to various extended positions. When the supplemental tailgate is in its stowed position, the pivotable molding may be aligned with the top surface of the tailgate in order to provide an esthetically pleasing appearance and provide paint scratch resistance. When the movable frame portion is in an essentially fully extended position, it may be rotated relative to the tailgate in order to provide the box extender and assist step functions.

Abstract: An injection moulding machine with a vertically movable mould-clamping plate, an electrical drive motor for the movable mould-clamping plate. A control unit for the drive motor, a machine control unit and a safety device to prevent unintentional movement of the movable mould-clamping plate are also provided. The machine control unit activates the retaining device when a movement of the movable mould-clamping plate is indicated without a corresponding drive signal.

Abstract: A tailgate for a vehicle with side walls and a bed has a supplemental tailgate that retracts within a tailgate frame and is extendable therefrom. The supplemental tailgate may include a guide system secured generally between the rear panel and the front panel of the tailgate frame, a movable frame assembly having two telescoping supports extendable from, pivotable relative to and retained by the guide system. The supplemental tailgate may also include a cross member connected to the two telescoping supports and extending therebetween. A lock rod assembly telescopically extends from and is pivotable relative to the cross member, with the lock rod assembly including a lock rod bar having a lock rod latch affixed thereto that is adapted to releasably latch to one of the vehicle side walls to thereby support the movable frame portion relative to the guide system when the tailgate frame is in the generally horizontal open position and the movable frame assembly is pivoted upward relative to the tailgate frame.

Abstract: A tailgate for a vehicle has a supplemental tailgate that retracts within the tailgate and is extendable therefrom in order to provide different assist functions. The supplemental tailgate may include a pivotable molding, which mounts on a movable frame portion, a latching assembly, and a gravity latch assembly. When pivoted, the pivotable molding releases the latching assembly, allowing the supplemental tailgate to be moved to various extended positions. The gravity latch assembly engages the pivotable molding to prevent the pivotable molding from being pivoted when the tailgate is in the generally vertical closed position, and disengages the pivotable molding to allow for pivoting when the tailgate is in the generally horizontal open position.
