A laterally adjustable conveyor utilizes a belt support assembly consisting of a plurality of pivoting support plates connected by pivots for sliding support of a flexible belt. A plurality of support stands provide support for the pivot plates from the floor or other supporting surface. A belt drive provides motive power for the flexible belt. A lateral adjustment assembly provides a means to position the back end laterally with respect to the front end of the conveyor by rotating pivot plates about plate pivots.

A method of making garment material, the method having the steps: applying coagulant (34) to a substrate (32); applying a foam (38) of the polymeric material to the substrate (32); allowing the coagulant (34) to coagulate some of the foam (38); and removing uncoagulated foam (38) from the substrate (32) to leave a layer of coagulated polymeric material on the substrate (32).

An electronic system is provided to confirm the identity of an individual or customer. The confirmation process permits businesses and other entities to access a preapproved list of authorize customers for purposes of preventing identity theft or fraud. Biometric data obtained from the person of the customer is compared against an authorized version of customer biometric data for this purpose. Even if an individual customer is not an authorized customer, the biometric data may be compared to a known fraud database to see if this individual has perpetrated past instances of fraud.

The thermal wrap is for beverage containers such as cups and pitchers of various sizes. A flexible cold pack that is tapered in a rectangular fashion and is made of poly carbonate, polystyrene, and or polyethylene. Injection molds of cells are used to retain de ionized water and or chemical agents, which conforms to the container shape that leaves an opening for condensation drainage. Fasteners provide secure hasp on cups and beverage pitchers that consist of Velcro that mates together to form a cylindrical structure around the exterior. An outer layer jacket made of expanse nylon sleeve to provide a protective barrier between the user hands and the cold temperature of the wrap.

A method and apparatus for actuating a folding vehicle seat. The apparatus includes a handle remotely and functionally connected to the vehicle seat for moving the seatback from a folded position to an upright or design position. The handle is pivotally mounted on a support bracket and attached to an actuator member interconnecting the handle and the seatback. The actuator member transfers the motion of the handle to a generally “L-shaped” arm which is pivotally mounted to the vehicle seat below the seatback. The L-shaped arm rotates toward the back of the seat as the handle is lifted. As the L-shaped arm moves, it catches a stop or extension member located on the seatback and moves the seatback toward the upright position.

A lockbar for a seatbelt retractor has an elongate joining member and two end pieces joined to the joining member at opposite ends therefore. The end pieces are made of a higher strength material than the joining member. The joining member may be made by extrusion and may be tubular or may be formed as a hollow member. The end pieces may be produced as forgings, die casting or plastic injection moldings or by other suitable methods. They can be produced from different materials and to different designs to suit the specification of the seatbelt retractor. Hence a single basic seatbelt retractor design can be employed for a variety of strength requirements by selecting appropriate end pieces and an appropriate joining member.

Force limitation in retractors is needed to avoid injury to an occupant from the seat belt itself particularly at high crash impact loads. The invention provides a seat belt retractor comprising a spool including force limiting means for allowing further payout of the seat belt webbing after the spool has locked, under the influence of an occupant's forward momentum in the crash condition. In one aspect the force limiting means is provided by a plurality of fins provided on the outer surface of the spool, each fin having a section which extends in a generally radial direction and a section which extends circumferentially, the circumferentially extending section of one fin overlapping the circumferentially extending section of an adjacent fin and supported by the radial extending section of that adjacent fin, so that a force tending to tighten the webbing on the spool, acts in a direction to crush the radial sections of the fins and to slide the circumferential sections over each other, thus reducing the effective outer circumference of the spool. In another aspect the force limiting means comprises an energy absorbing member connecting the spool to the spool shaft, the connection being rigid below a predetermined force, and above the predetermined force there being relative rotation of the spool with respect to the spool shaft to allow pay-out of belt webbing.
摘要:
A load limiting device is used with a vehicle seat belt during a crash to allow a limited and controlled forward motion of a vehicle occupant after the retractor has locked. The load limiting device decreases the forces exerted by the seat belt on the vehicle occupant's torso. The load limiting device has a container which defines a flow path for a fluid, with a restriction in the flow path. An actuator is located within the container and is movable within the container under the action of a load transmitted to the seat belt webbing from the vehicle occupant under extreme acceleration conditions, to move the fluid through the restriction in the flow path to dissipate a predetermined portion of the load on the webbing.
