Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of providing a liquid package (2) with an opening arrangement (1) and to the opening arrangement (1) proper. A hole (3) is punched out in the material (15) of a package (2) of the type which is produced from a material web (15) or a material sheet, the hole being covered by a thin strip (4). Thereafter, the package (2) is filled and formed into its final shape. A plastic device (6) is secured on the finished package (2) so that it surrounds the strip (4) without covering it. The plastic device (6) consists of a pouring element (7) with an angled front edge (10) and a sealing element (8) with a locking angle (13). A hole is provided in the pouring element (7) wherein the strip (4) is visible in its entirety. Before distribution of the package (2) the sealing element (8) is moved over the pouring element (7) so that these enter into engagement with one another and the locking angle (13) is locked against the front edge (10) of the pouring element (7). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The device serves to preferably releasably connect two or more parts bearing against one another, in particular workpieces. The parts are each provided with at least one bore for mutual orientation in a predetermined position in which the bores are in alignment with one another. The connection is made with a ball pin which is provided with a clamping bolt extending through the bores. Provided at the free end of the clamping bolt is at least one locking member pre-adjustable radially beyond its circumferential surface, and provided at the other axial end is a stop part forming an axial stop surface. The stop part is connected to the clamping bolt in such a way that it can be adjusted in the axial direction via a screw thread. The locking member can be tripped via a likewise axially displaceable actuating pin projecting towards the side of the stop part. On the part (1) coming in contact with the locking member (5), at least one projection (10) forming a rotary lock for the clamping bolt (4) is provided in the inner area of its bore (3) or in the adjoining marginal area.

Abstract: A low cost, light-weight inertial latching mechanism for use in latching an automotive vehicle seatback member with respect to a cooperating seat member under collision or collision-like conditions wherein high acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle occurs, is disclosed. The latching mechanism has first and second hinged members pivotally mounted on the seat and seatback members about a common first pivot. The first hinged member has a gear rack adapted to engage a pawl means that is mounted on the second hinged member. The pawl means moves between a first latched position, a second transitional position, and a third unlatched position. A spring means is operationally interconnected between the second hinged member and the pawl means and is adapted to bias the pawl means toward said third unlatched position until forces of acceleration or deceleration above a design threshold value occur. Above that value, the inertial forces of the pawl means cause relative movement of the pawl means past the second transitional position toward the first latched position. In this first latched position, the pawl means engages the gear rack to latch the first hinged member with respect to the second hinged member. <IMAGE>
