  • Publication number: 20240110662
    Abstract: A monitor mounting system which includes a crossbar having at least one monitor mounting bracket positioned thereon. A support arm is configured to adjust the vertical height of the crossbar and a pivot assembly is positioned between the support arm and the crossbar, with the pivot assembly configured to allow limited pivot adjustment of the crossbar in order to level the crossbar to the horizontal position.

  • Publication number: 20240023712
    Abstract: A weight-sensitive, reclinable seating apparatus that features a backrest pivot mechanism positioned entirely within the seat assembly (200) of the seating apparatus. The backrest pivot mechanism comprises a plurality of ramp assemblages positioned within the seat assembly (200), with the ramp assemblages each comprising one or more motion-facilitating components (272a, 272b, 222a, 222b, 252a, 252b) that engage one or more ramps (215a, 215b, 255a, 255b, 217a, 217b). The motion-facilitating components (272a, 272, 222a, 222b, 252a, 252b) cooperate with the ramps (215a, 215b, 255a, 255b, 217a, 217b) to provide a virtual pivot (400) for the backrest (317) that is projected above the seat surface. The backrest pivot mechanism minimizes the vertical drop of the backrest during the recline motion, which in turn minimizes the seat lift during the recline motion.

  • Publication number: 20150217922
    Abstract: A retention apparatus configured to retain a personal electronic device within a physical interaction device may include one or more retention clips flexibly secured within an interior receptacle of the physical interaction device such that the one or more clips deflect as the personal electronic device is inserted into the interior receptacle and a lip of each of the one or more clips engages a surface of the personal electronic device upon full insertion of the personal electronic device into the interior receptacle, thereby securely retaining the personal electronic device within the interior receptacle until manipulation of the one or more retention clips by a user to release the personal electronic device from the interior receptacle.

  • Patent number: 6010195
    Abstract: A front seat assembly (10), comprising first and second seats, is to be installed as a unit into a vehicle (12). A plurality of brackets (18) and (20) are attached to fixed rails (16) for attachment to the vehicle (12) and for interconnecting the fixed rails (16) of the two seats making up the front seat assembly (10). A slide rail (24) is supported by each of the fixed rails (16) for fore and aft movement relative to the fixed rails (16) and a pair of front (28) and rear (30) cross beams interconnect the slide rails (24) for supporting all of the remaining components of each seat. The rear cross beam (30) has an triangular cross section and a seat back (34) is supported on the rear cross beam (30) by flanges (32) having an triangular opening (36) complementary to and surrounding the rear cross beam (30). A support sheet (40) extends between and is supported by the cross beams (28) and (30) and a seat pan (42) is disposed above the support sheet (40) for supporting an occupant.
