Abstract:

A laminated fuel cell plate has a sheet metal layer compression molded between two layers of expanded graphite. The sheet metal layer provides resilient support for making thinner plates. The sheet metal layer also functions as a permeability barrier, which allows the conductivity of the expanded graphite layers to be enhanced. Features are molded into the graphite layers for such purposes as alignment, sealing, and flow control.

International Classification:

E06B 332

US Classification:

5220451

Abstract:

A modular sliding window assembly for in a motor vehicle body is provided with a sliding pane subassembly which has a snap-fit with a frame subassembly. The frame subassembly preferably comprises a pair of fixed panes, an upper and lower applique, and an injection molded cover member integrating the fixed panes and the appliques. The sliding pane subassembly preferably comprises a generally horizontal run channel member and at least one glazing pane optionally having a run channel guide affixed to a peripheral edge of the pane. The pane is slidably received in a run channel formed by the run channel member. The horizontal run channel member has a snap-fit attachment preferably to one of the appliques. The appliques can have a flexible flange or the like extending inboard from the injection molded cover member, forming a step ridge or like configuration. The run channel member provides a correspondingly configured feature, such as flexible projections separated by a recess, so that the snap-fit is established by the step of the flexible flange being pushed past a captivation hook or the like on one of the flexible projections, so as to snap into place behind the captivation hook.

International Classification:

B60N 2/14
B60N 2/01
B60N 2/06
B60N 2/30

Abstract:

A seat assembly includes a mounting plate and a base frame rotatable mounted on the mounting plate by a swivel mechanism for swiveling the seat assembly between forward-facing and rearward-facing configurations. A seat portion is operably coupled to the base frame and includes a front edge. The seat portion can be pivoted between use and upright non-use positions. The seat assembly includes a first rotational footprint when the seat portion is in the use position and a second rotational footprint that is less than the first rotational footprint when the seat portion is in the upright non-use position. The second rotational footprint is intended to accommodate swiveling of the seat assembly between the forward-facing and rearward-facing configurations within a vehicle interior.
