  • Publication number: 20040251802
    Abstract: A safety station for a construction site comprising a housing that can include a retractable stand coupled to the housing. This retractable stand can include a plurality of legs coupled to this housing. These legs are retractable into the housing in either a telescoping manner or by having the legs in two parts wherein these legs can be folded up into the housing via a hinge. There is also a backboard coupled to the housing wherein coupled to the backboard are a plurality of tools. In this case, covering the backboard is a cover which covers the plurality of tools on the backboard. This cover is movably attached to this housing.

  • Patent number: 6578912
    Abstract: A seat module electrification system includes electrical contacts on the seat and electrical contacts on the module. In the preferred and illustrated embodiment the electrical terminals on the seat comprise conductive strips located proximate a pocket adapted to receive the module and the electrical terminals on the module comprise formed terminals having a conductive tip, the module terminals being arranged to engage the strips when the module is placed in the pocket. The module may be attached to the pocket in a variety of ways including a mechanical latch system or other fasteners. In one illustrated form of the invention, a switch is provided so that power does not pass to the strips unless the module is attached to the seat.
