Abstract: A self attaching tag made essentially of self adhesive printable plastic to be attached to a fragile and easily deformable object characterized in that the tag is covered with a plurality of varnishes which allow for the protection of pre-printing and for printing and writing on at the moment of use. The tags are delivered on large rolls where perforations allow for easy separation of the tags.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a suspension system for a vehicle seat. The system comprises a top portion (9) and a first part (1) having a base portion (2), means (3b, 20) to receive the top portion and means (3, 4) to allow movement of the base portion (2) and top portion (9) towards and away from each other. The system further comprises a second part consisting of a spring element (10, 14) adapted in use to control movement of the base portion (2) and top portion (9) towards and away from each other. The top portion (9) and the second part (10, 14) are, in addition, releasably connected (13, 11a, 20) to the first part (1). This suspension system allows for flexibility in the manufacturing process and the replacement of parts.

Abstract: A drive system for a fluid flow device including a transmission member (e.g., a drive belt or the like) coupled to a drive motor and a fluid flow device such that the transmission member can be readily loosened without the use of extra tooling such as lifting jacks, sliding plates, or other lifting devices. In some embodiments, a drive belt may be removed from the fluid flow system by shifting the position of the drive motor relative to the fluid flow device through application of manual force from a user's hand. The drive system includes a drive motor mounted on a mounting platform that is pivotably coupled about a longitudinal axis to a base. At least a portion of the drive motor is disposed above the longitudinal axis of the mounting platform.

Abstract: A tractor seat of the type having a seat pan 14 which is hooked on to a vertically movable spring biassed carriage 12, so that the seat pan can be released and moved out of the way of a standing driver, has a latch device 18 comprising a headed pin 20 secured to the pan 14 and a catch plate 22 secured to the carriage and formed with an aperture 22a for receiving the headed pin 20. The catch plate is resilient so that it can be bent away from the pin to release the seat pan. In particular the aperture tapers from the lower end normally occupied by the pin to an upper end through which the head of the pin cannot pass, so that accidental lifting of the pan will lock the headed pin within the aperture.

Abstract: Low profile resilient suspension utilizes a pair of horizontally positioned, adjustably tensioned springs to support the weight of a seat occupant. The springs are mounted to one of the movable or fixed seat frame members so as to be completely independent of the linkages, such as scissors links, which guide the movable seat frame member for generally vertical parallel movement relative to the base frame member and floor. The tension of the springs can be adjusted by weight adjustment control members fixed to one of their ends to accommodate occupants of differing weights. The adjustment can be made when the seat is either occupied or unoccupied. The weight adjustment control members remain fixed relative to the seat frame as the suspension oscillates vertically. The opposite ends of the springs are mounted to the ends of the short arms on a pair of connected bellcrank levers which are pivoted to one of the seat frame members.

Abstract: A seat, in particular for a tractor, has a shoulder support mounted at the upper end of a backrest of the seat on a hinge device. The hinge device, when locked, holds the shoulder support in an upright position but, when released, allows the shoulder support to be tilted downwardly to a horizontal position to support an arm and shoulder of the seat occupant when plowing or reversing the tractor.

Abstract: An armrest assembly for a vehicle seat includes a parrallelogram-action support mechanism for permitting upward and downward movement of the armrest while maintaining the armrest horizontal. A toothed coupling is operable to lock the support mechanism at various selected heights of the armrest. An independently operable locking device releases the armrest for pivotal upward movement from its normal horizontal position.
