An entertainment seat () including a seat back () and seat base () having a seat architecture for providing structural support relative to a base (floor) and also having two seat motion actuators () located toward the front of the seat () for providing seat movement in response to a seat motion control system () for operating the seat motion actuators (), the seat () also includes armrests () which form a portion of the seat back ().

A handle assembly and method of assembling a grip handle to a vehicle. The handle assembly includes two base unit and each include a primary and auxiliary projection that are press fit into an opening formed in a structural part of a vehicle. Detents are provided on the projection and configured to be assembled to a vehicle with a minimum force and require a removal force that is substantially greater then the force of insertion. A method of assembling the assist grip handle to a vehicle can be accomplished by inserting molded projections into holes formed in a structural vehicle body panel. The projections include detents that are compressed as the projections are inserted into the holes and are expanded after the projections are fully inserted into the holes.

An as-cast gamma titanium-aluminide alloy, typically having a composition of from about 45.0 to about 48.5 atomic percent aluminum, is pre-HIP heat treated at a temperature of from about 1900.degree. F. to about 2100.degree. F. for a time of from about 50 to about 5 hours. The gamma titanium-aluminide alloy is thereafter hot isostatically pressed at a temperature of about 2200.degree. F. Hot isostatic pressing is preferably followed by a further heat treatment at a temperature of about 1850.degree.-2200.degree. F.

The present invention discloses a spring clip made of a directionally solidified nickel-base superalloy for use in a high pressure compressor stator sub-assembly of a gas turbine engine. The spring clip includes a body section and a pair of arms integrally connected to opposing sides of the body section and the spring clip is used as a means for attaching circumferentially segmented flowpath liners to an annular casing. Each arm of the spring clips exerts a spring force against a flowpath liner mount lug causing the mount lug to be seated radially against an inner surface of the casing and axially against an annular seal, wherein the pair of arms of each spring clip engage mount lugs located on circumferentially adjacent ones of the flowpath liners. The spring clip material has a relatively low modulus of elasticity in a direction which is generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the spring clip, and to the base surface of the spring clip arms, and a relatively high modulus of elasticity in a direction which is parallel to the centerlines of the holes used to fixedly connect the body sections of the spring clips to the casing. Accordingly, the spring clip of the present invention has a smaller size and reduced weight, as compared to a clip made of a conventional equiax nickel-base superalloy, with no loss in preload capability of the fasteners used to attach the body sections of the clips to the casing.

A process for identificaiton, evaluation and removal of microshrinkage of investment cast superalloy parts and parts produced by the process. Parts free of deleterious microshrinkage capable of longer life at existing stress levels or use at higher alternating stresses are produced by first subjecting the parts to hot isostatic pressing to eliminate nonsurface connected subsurface microshrinkage. Next, in order to expose near-surface microshrinkage microscopically connected to the surface, the parts are immersed in an acid solution for a time sufficient to uniformly remove at least about 0.005 inches of the original as cast surface. The exposed microshrinkage is evaluated for acceptability or removal by standard nondestructive techniques, such as liquid penetration evaluation.

The invention relates to a pocket enclosure for removably holding a resilient recoil pad for attachment to a shoulder portion of a shooting garment, the pocket enclosure comprising a plurality of panels forming a space for removably receiving the recoil pad, and where one of the panels includes an extended flap portion foldable over the recoil pad and into contacting relation with another of said panels, whereby the recoil pad is firmly held against movement within the enclosure.

Pocket enclosure for recoil pad

A shooting garment having an adjustable shock absorbing pad therefore which can be adjusted vertically on a front shoulder portion of the garment for reducing the recoil shock of a gun which is shot when the butt of the gun is against the pad. Since one shooter may place the butt of a gun at a different position on his shoulder than another, an adjustable pad can be utilized to place the pad precisely at the desired position for each individual shooter. VELCRO fasteners are provided to securely hold the pad in place when in use and also permit the pad to be readily disengaged, moved and repositioned securely in place.
