Abstract: G-1508 C-3996 CONTROL APPARATUS FOR A COMPARTMENT PANEL PULL DOWN MECHANISM A control for a motorized deck lid pull down mechanism which does not require the use of mechanically activated limit switches for detecting deck lid positions or the presence of closing or sealing obstructions. Detection of specified pull down conditions as well as the presence of deck lid obstructions is achieved by monitoring the magnitude of motor current in relation to various predefined motor current thresholds. Engagement of the deck lid with obstructions during the pull down sequence will cause the motor current to exceed the closing and sealing thresholds, terminating or reversing the respective function.

Abstract: PNEUMATICALLY CUSHIONED VEHICLE SEAT(S) AND APPARATUS AND METHOD TO ADJUST THE SAME A pneumatically cushioned vehicle seat and apparatus and method to adjust the same is provided by the present invention. A novel switching and pumping arrangement for the pneumatic seat and/or seating combination allows the pump to inflate the pneumatic cushion and also deflate the pneumatic cushion. Use of the pump for deflation of the pneumatic cushion eliminates the need of the chair occupant pushing against the same cushion when adjusting the seat to a less firm position.

Abstract: C-3,925 CLOSURE PANEL PULL DOWN MECHANISM A vehicle body compartment is selectively closed by a spring loaded closure panel movable between an open position and a closed position. A latch assembly is mounted on the panel and has a latch bolt spring biased to an unlatched position and normally maintained in the latched position by a key releasable detent lever. A pull down mechanism includes a housing mounted on a vehicle body and a striker mounted thereon by a motorized vertically reciprocating drive unit for moving the striker between extended position and a retracted position. When the panel is moved toward the closed position, the latch bolt engages with the extended striker to interconnect the panel with the striker. The driver unit is energized and retracts the striker, thereby pulling the panel to its fully closed position. A cam acts between the detent lever of the latch assembly and the housing of the pull down mechanism. The cam acts upon motorized movement of the striker from its retracted position toward its extended position to cam the detent lever to the position releasing the latch bolt independently of key operated release thereof whereby the latch bolt is spring biased to the unlatched position thereby disconnecting the panel from the striker and freeing the panel for spring loaded movement to the open position.
