Publication number: 20210361072Abstract: A modular chair assembly includes a seat member and at least three support leg units. The seat unit includes a seat member which has a lower surface and an upper surface opposite to the lower surface. Each of the three support leg units is detachably mounted to the lower surface of the seat member, and includes an inner axle and a hollow tube sleeved on the inner axle. The inner axle and the hollow tube are made of different materials to permit the inner axle to have a larger anti-bending strength than the hollow tube. The inner axle includes a bottom end surface for being supported on the ground.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2020Publication date: November 25, 2021Applicants: WATERSON CORP.Inventor: Waterson CHEN

Patent number: 9879456Abstract: A hinge device includes a hinge and a clamping unit. The hinge includes a first leaf mounted on a first object, and a second leaf pivotably connected to the first leaf. The clamping unit includes bracing and pressure plates spaced apart from each other by a clamping space for accommodating a second object. The bracing plate is removably attached to the second leaf such that the second leaf can be shifted in two mounting positions, one where the bracing plate is removed from the second leaf and the second leaf is connected to the second object, and one where the bracing plate is attached to the second leaf and the second object is clamped by the bracing and pressure plates.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2017Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignees: Waterson Corp.Inventor: Waterson Chen

Patent number: 9617772Abstract: A hinge assemblage includes a leaf mechanism, an actuating unit and a damping unit. The leaf mechanism includes a first leaf, and a second leaf pivotable relative to the first leaf such that the hinge assemblage is convertible between first and second states. The actuating unit is mounted to the leaf mechanism, and generates an actuating force during the conversion of the hinge assemblage. The damping unit is mounted to the leaf mechanism for generating a damping force. The damping force generated by the damping unit during the conversion of the hinge assemblage toward the first state is different from the damping force generated by the damping unit during the conversion of the hinge assemblage toward the second state.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2016Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignees: Waterson CorpInventor: Waterson Chen

Patent number: 8683654Abstract: An adjustable torque hinge includes a set hinge, a torque providing unit and a torque adjusting unit. The set hinge unit couples a first and second wing plate with a pivot pin. The first and second wing plates forms a pin joint with a first sleeve and second sleeve. The torque providing unit includes a torque spring to provide turn back recovery. A torque adjusting unit has a torque adjustment member. The first sleeve includes a first cam, and the torque adjustment member includes a second cam which couples with the first cam to drive the torque adjustment member to the torque spring. Conversion between the first and second sleeves enables the bearing hinge to be used in both directions, accumulating force both in normal and reverse directions to adjust the torque force for opening and closing operations.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2010Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Waterson Corp.Inventor: Waterson Chen
