Title: Anti submarining seat
Inventor: YAMAGUCHI HIROYOSHI
IPC: B60N2/427
Filed: 2000-03-14
Abstract: A vehicle seat frame comprises a rear member 18, two side members and optionally a front member (19). Actuators 8 are mounted on the side members, as are pivoted arms 3, via pivots 3a. The two pivoted arms are connected by rod 4. The actuators comprise body portions 7 and pistons 6, which are pivotally connected to the arms 3 via pivot 3b. By triggering the actuators, pistons 6 are forced outwards, causing the arms 3 and therefore the rod 4 to swing upwards. This causes the front end of the seat squab to be pushed upwards. In the event of a collision, a sensor (not shown) triggers the actuators, causing the deformation of the seat squab, which prevents an occupant of the seat from sliding out from underneath the seat belt. Disclosed are various modifications to the rod 4, which may for example be fitted with a plate 5 or an extending wire (22).

Title: Air impellor formed from sheet material
Inventor: LEIMANN DIRK-OLAF
IPC: F04D29/32
Filed: 2000-04-05
Abstract: An air impellor is stamped from sheet material such as steel to define vanes 11 by a plurality of cuts. The vanes 11 are then twisted or bent. In one embodiment, the vanes have an inclination relative to the plane of the sheet which increases radially outwards towards edge 17. The inclination at edge 17 may be greater than 80{. Another embodiment has a part of each vane (32, figs 9 and 10) in a common plane, another vane part (31, figs 9 and 10) bent away from that plane and vane ends (30, fig 9) bent substantially perpendicular to a radial direction. A central aperture 15 may provide a cylindrical sleeve (18, fig 3) for interference fit to a shaft, or threaded lock nut may be welded to the impellor. The impellor may be secured to a shaft of a gearbox. Fig 7 and 8 show alternative vane forms.

Title: Lockable mains socket enclosure
Inventor: BAILEY MARK RAWLINSON
IPC: H01R13/639
Filed: 2000-05-23
Abstract: A lockable socket enclosure (15) goes over a mains socket outlet (10) to prevent the unauthorised extraction of plugs.

Title: Dynamic mold and process
Inventor: VARMA DEVANAND
IPC: B29C33/30
Filed: 2001-03-13
Abstract: The dynamic mold concept has a manufacture, a process, and an apparatus. The process is that two or more steps (initial processes) be done simultaneously. A blow molding and an injection molding machine can work within the same mold and do their process together at the same time. The dynamic mold allows the mold to be split up into several parts or it has several dies within the structure. It allows the dies to move to allow the part to exit from the mold and move in accordance to do several steps one after the other also. For manufacturing sake for example shear, thermodynamics, temperature demands for quality of product, and for reduced mold design cost, allow two or more processes be done very close together. The dynamic mold is for metal applications as well as incorporating a hydroforming, punch and forging etc. application. The process is open to all known manufacturing processes in metal and in plastic and in ceramics and glass and in pellet form as well, and most particles for feed limited that the product or process does not have unsafe processes and products. The manufactures are new products applicable to today's products reducing labor and tooling and hence cost. It will help recycling and aid in the enviroment for example, more hot and cold beverage drinking plastic containers will reduce the cost of plastics considerably and reducing the cost of recycling to fewer products to recycle.
