    Abstract: A vehicle decklid displacement mechanism includes a linkage for leveraging displacement of the lid with respect to a vehicle body, an extension strut having spring means biasing the ends of the strut away from each other and a motorized crank. The crank is driven by the motor for pivotal engagement with the extendable strut so that the combined leverage of the linkage and the biasing of the strut geometrically urge the decklid to an open position. A position of the crank is adjusted by the motor to retract the decklid from its fully open position, at which point the weight of the lid overcomes the leverage of the linkage and the biasing of the extendable strut to displace the decklid toward its open position.

    Abstract: Mill annealed commercial insulated copper wire 20 used to fabricate high Residual Resistivity Ratio (RRR) windings 12 is unwound from a supply spool 22 and wound onto an annealing spool 24, annealed on the annealing spool 24, and unwound from the annealing spool 24 and wound onto an actuator bobbin 18. The annealing spool 24 is selected to have the same outside diameter as the actuator bobbin 18. The temperature of a single layer of wire 32 on the annealing spool 24 is raised in an incremental fashion to an annealing temperature in a vacuum furnace. The annealing spool 24 is held at the annealing temperature for a period of time at least equal to the annealing time required for the single layer of wire 32 and not longer than the survival time of an insulative coating on the single layer of wire 32. After annealing, the annealing spool 24 is cooled naturally to room temperature partially under vacuum and partially in an inert gas atmosphere. A high RRR wire 34 resulting from annealing is unwound from the annealing spool 24 and wound onto the actuator bobbin 18. During unwinding and winding tension and bend radius is controlled. Also, a heat conductive coating for removing heat from the winding is simultaneously applied to the annealed insulated copper wire during the winding and unwinding process.

    Abstract: A link assembly forming a 6 bar linkage is integrally combined with a spring having a laterally coiled strand to form a hinge that is particularly well adapted to be installed in a small footprint. Such a unit is well adapted for installation within a peripheral channel of a vehicle body opening and to prop the closure in its open position. The present invention also provides a method for reducing packaging footprint of a vehicle closure hinge by integrating the 6 bar linkage with the laterally coiled strand, and selecting a strand shaping to reduce radial dimension of the coil and the coil cross-section while maximizing the radial dimension of material in the strand.

    Abstract: A tailgate dampening system for a vehicle including a tailgate lift assist system including a torque rod rotationally grounded between the tailgate at a first end and a first side of the vehicle's frame at a second end is disclosed. The dampening system includes a coupling shaft attached to one end of the torque rod, a bell crank arm attached to the coupling shaft, and a dampening strut attached between the vehicle's frame and the bell crank arm. The crank arm compresses the dampening strut as the crank arm is rotated by the torque rod through the coupling shaft as the torque rod is twisted in response to the tailgate being opened, so as to reduce the rate at which the tailgate falls.

    Abstract: A vehicle closure hinge includes a mount having a pivot axis flange, a pivot link, a pivot coupling the pivot link to the pivot axis flange and a spring formed by a laterally coiled strand extending from a first coil end to a second coil end in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of displacement about the pivot axis. The coil size, the strand size and the number of coils can be varied as desired to vary the spring biasing force exerted against the vehicle closure without varying other components of the hinge. The hinge parts may be designed with various configurations including simple pivoting links or a four bar linkage. A strand end of the coil spring extends along the direction of the coil to a position at a first coil end to maintain biasing force near the plane of displacement about the pivot axis.

    Abstract: An expandable display apparatus comprises a main display unit and first and second expandable display panels. The main unit is defined as having a centerline axis. The main unit includes a pair of side walls oriented substantially along and disposed on opposite sides of the centerline axis. One or both of the side walls may include a display panel. The main unit contains first and second end openings oriented substantially across the centerline axis and disposed in opposing spaced-apart relation. The end openings communicate with a storage space between the pair of side walls. The display panels are removably stored side-by-side in the storage space and are movable in opposite directions through the end openings. The panels are movable along respective paths between respective stored positions inside the storage space and respective extended positions outside the storage space. The display panels align with the centerline axis of the main unit when the panels are in the extended position.
