US Patent:

6811345, Nov 2, 2004

Filed:

Mar 18, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/391874

Inventors:

Theodore J. Jackson - Waterford MI

Assignee:

General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI

International Classification:

B25G 300

US Classification:

403122, 403259, 403260, 403348, 403360, 403375, 403384

Abstract:

An interlocking fastener assembly has an insertion member, a receiving member, and a fastener. The receiving member has a guide opening with pockets which receive a polygonal locking portion of the insertion member during assembly. The locking portion has tapered sides and apexes to self center the insertion member. The guide opening pockets and sides allow limited rotation of the insertion member in the receiving member until a mechanical lock is created preventing further rotation of the insertion member. The mechanical lock allows a fastener to be threaded onto the insertion member without the use of a backup tool.

Theodore A. Jackson - Utica MI

Assignee:

Ex-Cell-O Corporation - Troy MI

International Classification:

F41D 502

US Classification:

89 14

Abstract:

The weapon charger for a combat vehicle includes a charger slide means in the weapon mantlet adapted to slide to a rearward position to engage and cock the weapon sear block and to a forward position to disengage from the sear block. The charger slide means is slid by means of a chain means connected thereto extending through the mantlet into the turret of the vehicle and driven by a hand crank actuated spur gear inside the turret. The crank is rotated clockwise to pull the charger slide means rearwardly to cock the sear block. A return spring means attached to the charger slide means pulls same to its forward position when the crank means is rotated counterclockwise.

International Classification:

B60G 414

US Classification:

280725

Abstract:

A suspension system for wheeled vehicles, particularly adapted to extended travel suspension systems for armored wheeled vehicles in which each of the front and rear vehicle wheel assemblies is mounted on a trailing arm suspension. The front suspension system includes an axle housing supported at either outboard end by a bell crank assembly, each including a trailing arm pivotally mounted to the axle housing at one end and at the other to a pivotal support on the vehicle hull or frame with a second shorter crank arm acting on a coil spring to resist arm motion by compression of the spring. Within each coil spring is disposed a stack of rubber bumper elements compressed with the spring while a pair of rubber bushings is provided at each pivot point of each of the trailing arms, the damping action of the stack bumpers and bushings performing a shock absorbing function. The rubber bushings also act as torsional springs and to accommodate limited tilting motion of the axle housing. The trailing arms each are inclined inwardly to closely position the coil springs, which extend generally horizontally within the nose of the vehicle hull to minimize the overhead clearance required and provide ready access to the coil springs.

Appl. No.:

6/553457

Inventors:

Theodore A. Jackson - Utica MI

Assignee:

Ex-Cell-O Corporation - Troy MI

International Classification:

F41G 140

US Classification:

89 4119

Abstract:

A gun sight positioning mechanism includes a slip clutch coupled sight slide that enables gun sight optics to be adjusted to extended firing ranges independently of gun inclination; a first range indicator fixed on the gun sight is associated with the sight slide to indicate the "range of target" and coincident adjustment of gun sight optics and a second range indicator is movably fixed to a gun elevating trunnion to serve as a memory of gun inclination so that a gunner will be able to remember to move (if required) the gun following manipulation of the sight slide to a different "range of target" position.

Inventors:

Theodore A. Jackson - Utica MI

Assignee:

Cadillac Gage Company - Warren MI

International Classification:

B60S 146
B60S 120
B60S 144

US Classification:

1525001

Abstract:

A wiper drive assembly (20) disclosed is particularly adaptable for use with angularly skewed vision blocks (22) of an armored car. A hollow guide (28) of the assembly includes elongated first and second guide portions (30,32) that are adapted to extend alongside the vision blocks and which receive respective first and second wiper supports (70,104). Each wiper support has an extension that projects through a slot in the associated guide portion so as to allow mounting of the arm of an associated wiper (24,26). One of the wiper supports has its extension provided with a slidable connection (86) to a continuous drive loop which is preferably in the form of a chain (34) received by a pair of sprocket type sheaves (36,38). Driving of one of the sheaves moves the chain so as to drive the first wiper support (70) in a reciprocal manner. An elongated connector of the drive assembly is preferably embodied by a wire (118) that extends between the first and second wiper supports within the guide portions in a guided relationship so as to move the second wiper support (104) along with the first wiper support in a reciprocal manner.

Assignee:

Cadillac Gage Company - Warren MI

International Classification:

F41H 702

US Classification:

89 36H

Abstract:

An armored wheeled vehicle configured for maximum resistance to penetration by frontally directed weapons fire while affording excellent visibility at the driver station and an extended field of fire for the weapon observation station, having an armored hull with an extended upper oblique frontal surface, sloping to a point rearward of the midpoint of the vehicle. The driver station is located approximately at the midpoint of the vehicle with the sloping frontal surface affording good visibility for the driver and includes a driver's hatch positioned over a driver station hull opening, the hatch adapted to be moved down and forwardly to provide an unobstructed driver view. The armament observation station is located to the rear and above the driver station, while the vehicle power plant is located along side the driver station. The front suspension includes a trailing arm type suspension minimizing the hull depth at the front wheels to allow the oblique frontal surface to be extended. The front wheel assemblies are disposed within wheel wells recessed within each side of the hull and covered by displaceable fairing panels which are normally disposed and overlie the wheel wells to provide an upper surface in conformity with the frontal surface of the hull.

Assignee:

Cadillac Gage Company - Warren MI

International Classification:

B60J 700

US Classification:

89 36L

Abstract:

A hatch for an armored vehicle having a viewing block integral therewith to be moved with the hatch as the hatch is opened and closed. The hatch is mounted for guided movement on a downwardly sloping surface of the armored vehicle so as to move down and away from the hatch opening to allow viewing from the hatch opening downwardly over the opened hatch. The open and closing guides include a three-point roller guide rail support configured to allow the weight of the hatch to be carried by the rollers after an initial upward movement of the hatch from compressive engagement with a peripheral seal installed about vehicle openings and thence slid downwardly on the guide rails away from the opening. The three-point roller guide rail support provides for effective guidance of the hatch movement throughout its range of opening and closing movements and includes two support arms secured to the hatch interior and extending into the hatch opening carrying two of the rollers and a third roller mounted to a hatch exterior surface guided in a guide rail mounted on the surface of the vehicle. A locking pin arrangement is provided to secure the hatch in the open and closed position, while clamping hooks are utilized to hold the hatch down securely on the peripheral seal.
