Abstract: A sliding door in a van is mounted on tracks for sliding movement between open and closed positions. At the closed position a weather strip is compressed and a door latch is latched. A cable is attached to the door and routed through the vehicle body via pulleys so that pulling the first cable end opens the door and pulling the second cable end closes the door. A motorized drive mechanism includes first and second reels mounted concentrically and having the cable ends wrapped respectively about the reels in opposite directions. A motor drives in one direction rotating the first reel to open the door and is reversible to rotate the second reel to close the door. Each of the reels has a large diameter portion for winding the cable to provide relatively high speed and low force door movement over the greatest portion of travel and a small diameter portion for winding the cable to provide relatively low speed and high force movement of the door during the lesser portion of travel of the door closest to the closed position. The reels have cable set grooves to receive the cable and a spiral ramp groove to connect the large and small diameter portions. A tension retaining spring acts between the two reels to always maintain the cable under tension.

Abstract: An inertia locking seat belt retractor for winding a shoulder belt having one end mounted on the vehicle door to move the belt between stowed and restraining positions upon movement of the door. The retractor has a winding prevention mechanism including a pawl and ratchet for selectively blocking belt winding rotation of the belt reel to hold the belt extended at a set length to establish a slackened comfort condition relative the occupant. A manually actuatable control device has a normal condition blocking control of the pawl by a control disc frictionally clutched to the reel and is manually actuatable to release the pawl for control by the disc. The control disc actuates the pawl to provide the set length, defines a range of unwinding wherein the pawl is temporarily deactuated to permit subsequent rewinding to return the belt to the set length, and disengages the pawl upon still further unwinding rotation so that the pawl is deactuated upon belt unwinding during opening of the door. The manually actuatable control device may be operated to temporarily deactuate the pawl to allow belt unwinding. The pawl blocks return of the manually actuatable control device to the normal pawl blocking condition until belt unwinding causes the control disc to deactuate the pawl.

Abstract: A vehicle body compartment is selectively closed by a spring loaded closure panel movable between an open position and a closed position. A latch assembly is mounted on the panel and has a latch bolt spring biased to an unlatched position and normally maintained in the latched position by a key releasable detent lever. A pull down mechanism includes a housing mounted on a vehicle body and a striker mounted thereon by a motorized vertically reciprocating drive unit for moving the striker between extended position and a retracted position. When the panel is moved toward the closed position, the latch bolt engaes with the extended striker to interconnect the panel with the striker. The drive unit is energized and retracts the striker, thereby pulling the panel to its fully closed position. A cam acts between the detent lever of the latch assembly and the housing of the pull down mechanism. The cam acts upon motorized movement of the striker from its retracted position toward its extended position to cam the detent lever to the position releasing the latch bolt independently of key operated release thereof whereby the latch bolt is spring biased to the unlatched position thereby disconnecting the panel from the striker and freeing the panel for spring loaded movement to the open position.

Abstract: A junction ring adapted for use in a seat belt system wherein a continuous-loop belt is slidable through the junction ring to define shoulder belt and lap belt portions includes a housing having slots mounting a pin for movement toward and away from the buckle. The belt passes around the pin. A buckle is selectively engageable with the junction ring to establish the lap belt and shoulder belt in occupant restraining positions across the seat. The shoulder belt is wound by a seat belt retractor having a tension reliever permitting introduction of slack into the shoulder belt. A spring urges the pin in the direction toward the buckle so that the belt is carried into frictional engagement with a friction member to provide a one-way friction detent which prevents transference of the shoulder belt slack into the lap belt so that the lap belt remains taut about the occupant. The spring acting on the pin yields upon the onset of an occupant restraint load to permit movement of the pin away from the buckle and the friction member so that the continuous-loop belt is permitted to pass through the junction ring to adjust the relative restraint lengths of the lap and shoulder belt portions. The frictional engagement of the friction member with the belt is terminated upon disengagement of the junction ring from the buckle so that the belt may pass freely therethrough.

Abstract: A load locking junction device for coupling a continuous-loop belt having ends mounted on the door with an anchor belt retractably mounted inboard the seat includes a frame having an aperture defining spaced apart first and second load bearing walls. The continuous-loop belt is slidable over the first wall to define a lap belt portion and a shoulder belt portion. The anchor belt extends through the aperture and has a pin engaged in the end thereof to enlarge the end for simultaneous engagement against the second wall and the continuous-loop belt so that the belts are coupled together and maintained in engagement with the load bearing walls. A spring acts on the pin to space the anchor belt from the continuous-loop belt to permit movement of the continuous-loop belt through the frame. The imposition of oppositely directed occupant restraining loads on the continuous-loop belt and the anchor belt causes the enlarged anchor belt end to forcefully clamp the continuous-loop belt against the first wall whereby the relative restraining lengths of the lap belt and the shoulder belt portions are fixed. Disconnecting a buckle provided at one end of the continuous-loop belt terminates the occupant restraining load so that the clamping effort is terminated and the continuous-loop belt may pass freely through the junction ring to permit opening movement of the door and occupant egress.
