Inventors:

Steven A. Snyder - Constantine MI

Assignee:

Coachmen Industries, Inc. - Middlebury IN

International Classification:

B60R 300

US Classification:

280163

Abstract:

An improved running board construction for mounting to a vehicle includes an elongate deck and at least one bracket extending beneath and transverse to the deck, the bracket being attachable to the frame of the vehicle for mounting the running board to the vehicle. A single channel is formed integrally with the underside of the deck. The channel includes a pair of walls which are spaced transversely from each other and a pair of inwardly turned lips on the walls extending toward each other. A plate which also extends transversely of the deck is slidably received in the channel and bolts having flat sided heads extend downwardly from the slidable plate for attaching the plate to the bracket. The flat sided heads of the bolts are positioned against at least one of either the walls of the channel or against a raised bead on the plate to prevent the bolts from turning.

International Classification:

B60R 300

US Classification:

280163

Abstract:

A running board construction for mounting to a vehicle includes an elongate deck and at least one bracket extending beneath and transverse to the deck, the bracket being attachable to the frame of the vehicle for mounting the running board to the vehicle. A single channel is formed integrally with the underside of the deck in substantially the center of the deck and a pair of flanges are also formed integrally with the deck and spaced to both sides of the channel. The channel slidingly receives a bolt for fastening the bracket to the underside of the deck and the flanges extend to a lower elevation than the channel, such that when the bolt is tightened, the bracket is bowed beneath the deck.

Assignee:

Sparkomatic Corporation - Milford PA

International Classification:

B60J 7195

US Classification:

296213

Abstract:

A sun roof assembly and seal therefor comprises a flexible ring shaped member having a base with a groove therein for receiving a continuous rigid bead on the frame of the sun roof and a tubular bulb positioned on the upper wall of the base. When the cover of the sun roof is opened the upper wall of the bulb springs upwardly above the level of the roof in which the sun roof is installed, but when the cover is closed, the upper wall of the bulk is compressed against the base above the rigid bead to seal the sun roof against leakage.
