A material-handling apparatus includes a frame, first arms pivoted to the frame for rotation, and second arms pivoted to the first arms for rotation. A picking device is pivoted to the second arms. A rotational control device including a cam is operably connected to the first and second arms for oscillating the first and second arms at different oscillating distances and times as the first arm is rotated to cause the picking device to move linearly vertically from a supply conveyor, then to move laterally transversely, and then to move linearly vertically to deposit carried items in layers in a deep container on a second conveyor. A leveling mechanism is provided on the apparatus for maintaining the picking device in a level orientation despite oscillation of the first and second arms.

A positioning system for coupling a module to a rail member on an interior portion of a vehicle is disclosed and includes a rail with a flange member having positioning openings. The module includes at least one projection configured to engage the openings when the module is attached to the rail system so that movement of the module in a direction parallel to the rail system is substantially prevented. A positioning system is also disclosed for limiting movement of a module attached to a rail system within a vehicle interior during changes in vehicle speed or direction. The module includes at least one brake member coupled to the module and configured to coact with a rail so that movement of the module relative to the rail causes the brake member to frictionally engage the rail to substantially limit movement of the module along the rail.

A method of forming a vehicle accessory embodying the present invention includes the provision of a fabric or other upholstery material in the shape of a container which when filled with an amorphous filler material defines an accessory such as a visor, introducing an amorphous material such as a mixture of expandable chemicals into the container so formed and allowing them to expand and cure while constraining the major sides of the container during curing thereby forming an accessory core and integral cover. Visors embodying a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprise an integral cover and structural core of an amorphous material introduced to fill the cover and which is bonded thereto. In a preferred embodiment, the cover is formed from a butterfly pattern which is folded and has edges joined with the exception of an opening at one corner and which is subsequently inverted to define the visor-shaped container.
