A two part die set and method including an upper die half supporting a male die and a lower die half containing a spring biased female die receiving the male die and cutting out an area of a panel placed therebetween. The die set is actuated by a conventional machine press of the type having a ram movable toward a fixed bed. The male punch includes a shank and an annular groove forming an area of reduced diameter supporting a ferrule with integral fastening tines. Extended movement of the punch into engagement with the panel cuts out an area of said panel and further extended movement moves the tines through the panel. Continued extended movement of the male die moves the ferrule downwardly and engages angular portions of the tines with the peripheral edge of the cut out in the panel deflecting the tines outwardly on the underneath side of the panel. Further downward movement of the male die engages its shank with the tines and forces them into frictional engagement with the peripheral edge of the panel cut out deforming a portion of the panel downwardly permanently forming a countersink in the panel around the cut out. The ferrule includes a flange in contact with the upper surface of the panel.
A one-piece continuous resilient rod extends between spaced apart latch bolts and has its ends operatively connected to the latch bolts. The unrestrained free length of the rod exceeds the spaced relation between the latched positions of the latch bolts so that the rod is flexed and resiliently biases the latch bolts to their respective latched positions. A rotatably journalled handle engages the rod intermediate the latch bolts. Rotation of the handle flexes the rod, and shortens its effective length to withdraw the ends of the flexible rod toward each other and simultaneously move the latch bolts from their latched position to their unlatched position. An integral coil compression spring may be provided in the continuous rod.

Abstract:
An inertia responsive latching mechanism for latching a tiltable seat back rest to a seat is disclosed and in which the latching mechanism is operable to normally latch the seat back rest in its fully upright position, allow slow forward tilting movement of the seat back without manual manipulation of the latch mechanism and prevent significant forward tilting movement of the seat back rest irrespective of its upright position upon being subjected to rapid deceleration forces.
