  • Patent number: 10117483
    Abstract: As a new design, when making part of a decoration rotatable, there is a tendency for this to result in an unnecessarily complex structure, and it was difficult to apply such structures to small decorations such as rings, due to considerations such as strength and smooth movement. Solution: The present invention was configured as follows in order to provide a decoration which, even if having a small size, has a simple structure and strength, and opens like a flower. The decoration has a configuration whereby one of a group of movable petals (1) having a calculated curved surface (2) and which are positioned so as overlap with the positions to be rotated and are synchronized with one another, is opened and closed by a single rotating knob (11) and is synchronized with the other petal-shaped parts (1) smoothly and effectively to replicate the movement of a flower opening and closing.

  • Patent number: 7413232
    Abstract: A vehicle seat lifting unit is provided with a slider and a lift arm assembly that are driven by a drive unit to move a seat with a seat holder between an initial position inside the vehicle occupant compartment and a displaced position outside the vehicle occupant compartment that is lower than the initial position. The lift arm assembly has a pair of arms that cooperate with the slider and the seat holder to form a linkage mechanism. The drive unit moves the slider along the predetermined path between an advance position and a retreat position and causes the first and second arms of the lift arm assembly to selectively swing from backwardly tilted positions to forwardly tilted positions, which in turn selectively shifts the seat between the initial position and the displaced position outside the vehicle occupant compartment that is lower than the initial position.

  • Patent number: 4494773
    Abstract: A tiltable steering arrangement is arranged with the axis of rotation thereof relatively close to the steering wheel and in the near vicinity of a relatively heavy valve arrangement associated therewith. A locking device is located at a distance from the axis of rotation and on the other side thereof with respect to the steering wheel. This provides a mechanical advantage with allows for a less robust locking mechanism which is not subject to large moments of force which would otherwise result if the mass were located at a distance from the axis of rotation while increasing the amount of angle adjustment possible.

    Abstract: A toy figure configured in the shape of a toy doll, or toy animal or the like is disclosed. The toy figure includes a trunk portion having a substantially hollow interior and a head and limb portions. The trunk portion has a plurality of groups of slots, with each group of slots having individual slots in communication with one another. A plurality of deformable elastic members, preferably rubber cords, are attached to the interior of the trunk. Each deformable elastic member is led through one slot of at least one group of slots. The head and each limb is attached to one of the elastic members which are under sufficient tension to hold a substantially flat mating surface of each limb in contact with the trunk. The head and each of the limbs may be repositioned relative to the trunk by moving the corresponding elastic member from one slot to another within the same group of slots.
