Abstract:
An improved regenerative heat exchanger and seal assembly employ a plurality of instances of a seal apparatus, with each seal apparatus including a seal member that includes a seal tab that extends from one end of the seal member and further includes a corresponding notch at the opposite end of the seal member. The seal tab is receivable in a notch of an adjacent seal apparatus, and the engagement of the seal tabs in the notches creates a labyrinth seal by providing a tortuous path that resists the flow of exhaust gases and air past the seal assembly.
Method And Apparatus For Attaching A Door To A Passenger Vehicle
An apparatus for attaching a door to a passenger vehicle body having a lift arm and a hinge assembly. The lift arm rotatably connects the door to the vehicle body. The lift arm imparts upward rotational movement to the door relative to the vehicle body as upward pressure is applied to the arm. The hinge assembly allows the door to open horizontally about a pair of hinges connected to the hinge assembly. A stop pin assembly dictates whether the door can be opened vertically or horizontally.
