Abstract:
A vehicle seat belt starter motor interlock and sequential warning system including a source of electrical power. An ignition switch is provided and includes an ignition ''''on'''' terminal, a switch ''''off'''' terminal and an engine cranking motor terminal. Means electrically connects the source of power to either of said ignition ''''on'''' and switch ''''off'''' terminals or simultaneously to said ignition ''''on'''' and engine cranking motor terminal. A seat belt assembly includes a retractable belt. A warning means is provided as is an engine starting motor solenoid. The warning means is activated when the source of power is electrically connected to the switch ''''off'''' contact terminal and the belt is unretracted and is deactivated when the seat belt is retracted. The engine cranking motor terminal is connected to the engine motor solenoid only when the seat belt is unretracted.
Abstract:
A door lock assembly including a dead bolt and a knob on the inside of the door for controlling the extension and retraction of the dead bolt. Means secured to the inside surface of the door selectively prevents said dead bolt control knob from rotating to retract said dead bolt from an extended position whereby said door cannot be opened unless said means is positioned so as not to interfere with rotation of said knob to retract the dead bolt.
Abstract:
An ignition switch including a key receiving lock cylinder. A pin is movable by the insertion of the key in the key receiving lock cylinder. A conducting switch leaf is connected to the hot terminal of a battery and is biased to touch a first contact of a two contact switch in the absence of any external force acting thereon. Insertion of the ignition key in the key receiving lock cylinder moves the pin so that the switch leaf is placed in contact with the second contact. When the key is removed from the key receiving lock cylinder, the switch leaf under its own resiliency moves and touches the first contact. Different circuits can be activated when the switch leaf is in circuit with either of the contacts.

Abstract:
A system for directing the exhaust emissions of a vehicle internal combustion engine through a treatment means and fumes from the engine crankcase to the air intake system of the engine when the vehicle is moving below a predetermined speed, and for directing the above mentioned exhaust emissions and crankcase fumes to the atmosphere when the vehicle is moving at or above said predetermined speed.
Abstract:
A clamp for securely locking a spring type battery cable terminal to a battery post. The clamp is bail shaped and stiff and has two ends which are turned inwardly. A concave section is located on a portion of the clamp symmetrically between the ends thereof to accommodate the manipulating tabs of the cable terminal. Two tapped openings approximately opposed to the ends of the clamp and which are symmetrically positioned with respect to the concave portion extend through the clamp and screws are threaded therethrough. In use the clamp is placed over a spring type battery cable terminal which is in engagement with a battery post. The screws are rotated in their respective openings until they tightly press against the spring legs of the terminal. As a consequence of this the ends of the clamp are urged against spaced points of the terminal remote from the screws and the terminal thereby is held in tight contact with the battery post. In another embodiment an inwardly projecting nub is used in place of one of the openings and the associated screw.
