Abstract: 422,783. Latches. TERNSTEDT MANUFACTURING CO., 6307, West Fort Street, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A.-(Assignees of Andersen, A. C. ; 2280, South Edsel Avenue, and Bowlus, B. H.; 18624, Santa Rosa Avenue, both in Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A.) May 18, 1933, No. 14367. Convention date, Oct. 21, 1932. [Class 44] A spring-pressed sliding latch for motor vehicles is provided with inside hand-operated and outside key-operated means whereby the outside handle can be rendered idle, but can be recoupled to the latch by the handoperated or the key-operated means or by slamming the door ; the handle remains idle if the door is slammed while the handle is held in its unlatching position, To withdraw the latch 3 from outside the follower 10 is turned to rock a lever 9, and thereby to rearwardly shift a lever 19 pivotally mounted on the lever 9 and engaging with the latch tail 27. The lever 19 is guided by a lug 22 engaging in a slot 23 in a control lever 11 pivoted at 12 on the lock cover plate 13 and held in either of its extreme positions, as determined by a pin 24 and slot 25, by a snapover-centre spring 26. To render the handle idle, the control lever 11 is depressed by a push and pull rod 14 mounted on the garnish rail or by a sliding bolt 15 operated by an eccentric pin 16 on a revolving barrel lock mounted in the handle, so as to move the tail 30 of the lever 19 out of alignment with the latch tail 27. Rotation of the lock barrel is limited to a quarter turn in each direction and on release of the key, the barrel is automatically returned by a spring so that the bolt 15 does not block the lever 11. When the door is slammed with the lever 19 lowered, as shown in full lines in Fig. 2, a cam lug 29 on the latch bolt engages with a lug 30 on the lever 19, and raises it into its operative position, Fig. 1. By holding down the lever 11 by the rod 14 and turning the handle to its unlatching position, the lever 19 is end shifted to the position shown in dash and dot lines in Fig. 2, ; then on closing the door and releasing the handle, the mechanism is returned by a spring 7 to the position shown in full lines in Fig. 2. The spring 7 serves also to shoot the latch and to hold the lever 9 against the follower 10 to prevent rattling.

Abstract: 1468399 Motor vehicle bodies; vehicle doors DAIMLER-BENZ AG 5 April 1974 [16 April 1973] 15140/74 Headings B7B and B7J Hollow stiffening members 3 run longitudinally inside the side doors of a passenger car and are so arranged that under the influence of longitudinal impact forces each end of each stiffening member becomes directly or indirectly braced either by the end of another stiffening member or by a component of the main body structure. Fig. 4 illustrates the front of a front door where the stiffening member 3 is to be braced by a column 8. The door hinge 17 is directly connected to the member 3 and forces are transmitted between the column 8 and the member 3 by a bracing section 9 and a stiffening plate 10. In a modification (not shown), the bracing section 9 is mounted on the column 8. Fig. 5 illustrates the arrangement at the adjacent edges of front and rear doors. When both doors are closed, a spring loaded bar 12 lies between the adjacent ends of the members 3 to provide the necessary force transmission. The bar 12 does not interfere with opening of the rear door since the latter's front edge 13 can displace the bar against its spring bias. The illustrated members 3 are each formed by a horizontally corrugated plate 4 and a plane plate 5. In an alternative construction (not shown), the members 5 are each formed in part by the outer skin of the door. To increase resistance against lateral impact, the bottom of each door has an inwardly directed flange which engages under an outwardly directed flange on the door sill, Fig. 6 (not shown).

Abstract: 1368337 Uranium dioxide compositions GENERAL ELECTRIC CO 4 April 1972 [6 April 1971] 15303/72 Heading C1A A method of preparing a uranium dioxide rich composition from uranium hexafluoride in a reaction zone in the presence of an active flame, comprises the steps of: (a) introducing a first gaseous reactant comprising a mixture of UF6 and an O2 containing carrier gas into the reaction zone; (b) separately introducing a second gaseous reactant comprising a reducing gas into the reaction zone; (o) temporarily separating the first reactant from the second by the introduction of a shielding gas which temporarily prevents substantial mixing and reaction of said first and second gaseous reactants. Subsequent reaction of these two reactants forms a particulate uranium dioxide rich composition in the presence of residual gas, and (d) introducing a third gaseous reactant comprising an oxygen containing gas into contact with the particulate uranium dioxide rich composition and the residual reducing gas thereby converting the residual reducing gas in the reaction zone to an oxidized form and oxidizing the uranium dioxide rich composition to a higher oxide of uranium. The said second gaseous reactant, the reducing gas may be selected from hydrogen, dissociated ammonia and mixtures thereof. The shielding gas can be a gas non-reactive with the reactants of the process such as nitrogen, argon, helium, neon, krypton, xenon and mixtures thereof, or it can be one which enters into the reaction such as air, oxygen or a mixture of air and oxygen, or a mixture of either air, oxygen, or air and oxygen with any of the foregoing non-reactive gases.
