US Classification:

74335

Abstract:

A shift control mechanism for manually shifting an automatic transmission includes a housing having a shift control pattern The shift control pattern has a longitudinal portion defining a plurality of automatic transmission operating settings and a transverse portion at one end of the longitudinal portion for manually shifting the transmission. The shift control mechanism additionally includes a shift lever manually movable along the shift control pattern for selecting the automatic transmission operating settings and for manually shifting the transmission. A switch is provided which is actuated by moving the shift lever in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal portion in the transverse portion to send a signal to manually upshift or downshift the automatic transmission. A centering mechanism centers the shift lever within the transverse portion.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for forming a pressure vessel liner are disclosed. One method includes forming an extruded tube by extruding a parison through a die and a mandrel and forming main body sections and return line sections in the extruded tube according to a first pattern. A cross-sectional area of the return line sections is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the main body sections. The method further includes changing the pattern according to which the main body sections and the return line sections are formed from the first pattern to a second pattern without stopping the forming of the extruded tube and forming the main body sections and the return line sections in the extruded tube according to the second pattern.
