    摘要: An apparatus having a housing, a location pin, a lever and a sensor is disclosed. The housing may be configured to receive a weld head. The location pin may be configured to move linearly in the housing in response to a force between the location pin and a part to be welded. The lever may be rotatably attached to the housing and configured to convert a linear position of the location pin relative to the housing into an angular position of a shaft relative to the housing. The sensor may be coupled to the shaft and configured to generate a value representative of the linear position of the location pin by a measurement of the angular position of the shaft.

    摘要: A door lock bracket for serving as a striker which secures an automobile door closed in conjunction with a door latching assembly. The door lock bracket is formed from a one-piece stamping which includes a flange portion for mounting the door lock bracket to the door post of the automobile, an apertured portion for receiving the door's latching mechanism, and a base portion interconnecting the flange and apertured portions. The door lock bracket is structurally uncomplicated, so as to facilitate the manufacture of the door lock bracket using a relatively simple multiple-step bending operation. As a result, the door lock bracket is relatively inexpensive to manufacture, yet can be formed to be strong and structurally rigid for extended and repeated use throughout the life of the automobile.
