Weatherstrip Apparatus For Vehicle Door Window

View page
US Patent:
57910880, Aug 11, 1998
Filed:
Oct 25, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/738209
Inventors:
Douglas Michael Martinelli - Livonia MI
William Ernest Buehler - Toledo OH
Darrell Kenneth Kleinke - Livonia MI
Christian Michael Norton - Wixom MI
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, Inc. - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
B60J 116
US Classification:
49375
Abstract:
A vehicle door assembly includes first and second weatherstripping components secured directly to the vertically movable window beneath the opening between the outer door panel and inner door trim panel such that the weatherstrips are not visible. The weatherstrips include upwardly protruding lip portions which cooperate with the base portion of the respective weatherstrip to form a channel for carrying water out of the door assembly. By securing the weatherstripping directly to the window, unsightly beltline weatherstrips are eliminated. Also, the frictional engagement of prior art beltline weatherstrips with the window is eliminated, thereby allowing downsizing of the window lifting mechanism, and allowing the use of plastic or glazed windows because the abrasion of prior art designs is eliminated.

Guide And Sealing System Vehicle Window Flush With Body Surface

View page
US Patent:
57325090, Mar 31, 1998
Filed:
Jun 13, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/664059
Inventors:
William E. Buehler - Toledo OH
Darrell K. Kleinke - Livonia MI
Christian M. Norton - Novi MI
Douglas Martinelli - Livonia MI
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, Inc. - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
E05D 1516
US Classification:
49440
Abstract:
A lowerable window in an automotive vehicle has a guide and sealing system with a guide member attached substantially along the length of an edge of the window pane so as not to overlap with the outer surface thereof, the guide member having a guide conduit for interaction with a door channel having two prongs extending from vehicle door panels which define a channel portion therebetween. A guide member and the door channel are interposed such that the guide member receives a first prong of the door channel within the guide conduit and the door channel receives a guide edge within the channel portion. A seal member is mounted on the door channel so as to substantially fill a space between the guide edge and the first prong, and has at least three lip members, two of which extend laterally outward from the two prongs of the door channel so as to contact inward facing surfaces of the guide member. A compliant bulbous lip member is compressively sealingly interposed in non-overlapping relationship between the window edge and the outer surface of the vehicle door.

Magnetostrictive Sensor Structures

View page
US Patent:
54371970, Aug 1, 1995
Filed:
Aug 20, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/109840
Inventors:
H. Mehmet Uras - Ann Arbor MI
Darrell K. Kleinke - Livonia MI
Assignee:
The Board of Governors of Wayne State University - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G01L 112
US Classification:
7386269
Abstract:
A magnetostrictive force sensor in which magnetically conductive support members are interposed between magnetically conductive end plates. The support members have magnetic properties which vary in accordance with the compressive or tensile load applied to them. The support members and end plates magnetically cooperate to create a magnetic circuit in which magnetic flux is induced by applying an alternating-current signal to a coil wound around one of the support members or by placing a permanent magnet into the magnetic circuit. When a load is applied to the magnetically conductive end plates, the magnetic properties of the support members vary to cause a change in the flux established in the magnetic circuit. The flux is detected by a second coil wound around the second support member, and the output signal detected by the detection coil is decoded to determine the load applied to the force sensor.

Wheelchair Lift Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
20180086601, Mar 29, 2018
Filed:
Sep 27, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/277659
Inventors:
Raymond N. Okonski - Farmington Hills MI, US
Nassif E. Rayess - Warren MI, US
Darrell K. Kleinke - Livonia MI, US
Christopher M. Sassak - Dearborn MI, US
George Taro - Canton MI, US
Evan Jeffries - Farmington Hills MI, US
International Classification:
B66B 9/08
Abstract:
A wheelchair lift apparatus that includes a stand that includes a pair of inclined rails; and a platform adapted to carry a wheelchair, wherein the platform includes a driving portion and a driven portion for moving the platform along the rails, wherein, when the driving portion actuates the driven portion in a first direction, the platform ascends along the rails, wherein, when the driving portion actuates the driven portion in a second and opposite direction, the platform descends along the rails.
