Abstract: A climate control system provides the desired climate conditions of temperature and humidity at a contact surface of a multi-layered structure. The climate control system includes a heating mechanism disposed between one or more foam layers of structure and configured to deliver heat to the contact surface and a separate cooling mechanism disposed in the foam layers. The cooling mechanism includes at least one fan assembly, air channels and reticulated foam layers configured to draw air away from the contact surface toward the bottom of the structure. An operational control system is used to control the heating mechanism and cooling mechanism to achieve the desired climate conditions on the contact surface in accordance with a desired time-based climate control algorithm.

The rotating and pivoting frame includes a bearing plate and a plurality of discrete bearings disposed between the bearing plate and the horizontal support surface. The rotating and pivoting frame is rotatable with respect to the horizontal support surface on the plurality of discrete bearings around a vertical axis passing through the horizontal support surface.

Abstract: A rotating and articulating bed includes a fixed bed frame with a horizontal support surface and an articulating bed member attached to the horizontal support surface. The articulating bed member includes an articulating head portion and a separate articulating foot portion. A rotating and pivoting frame mounted on the horizontal support surface and connect to the articulating head portion and the articulating foot portion rotates with respect to the horizontal support surface around a vertical axis passing through the horizontal support surface and provides pivoting movement of the articulating bed member with respect to the horizontal support surface to tilt the articulating bed member toward at least one of the articulating head portion and the articulating foot portion.

Abstract: A rotating and articulating bed has a fixed bed frame, a rotation assembly mounted on the fixed bed frame, a pivot assembly mounted on the rotation assembly and an articulating bed frame mounted on the pivot assembly. The articulating bed frame contains a plurality of pivotally connected distinct portions. The rotation assembly rotates the pivot assembly and the articulating bed frame with respect to the fixed bed frame on a plurality of discrete wheel bearings around a vertical axis passing through the rotating and articulating bed. The articulating bed frame articulates the distinct portions and the pivot assembly tilts the articulating bed frame with respect to a horizontal plane that is perpendicular to the vertical axis independent of rotation by the rotation assembly and articulation by the articulating bed frame.

Abstract: A room caddie having a self-supporting box with a first interior chamber extending into the box from the top and a second interior chamber separate from the first interior chamber. The second interior space comprising a plurality of interior electrical power sources. A fixed cover is disposed over the first interior chamber and includes a cylindrical cup holder, at least one exterior electrical power source and a first part of a two-part releasable connector disposed in the fixed cover. A moveable lid is disposed over the second interior chamber at the top of box to provide access into the second interior chamber.

Abstract: A knockdown bed is formed of a first bed frame and a second bed frame. The first bed frame includes a top side, a bottom side, and an insertion member. The insertion member has an insertion end, a fixed end connected with the bottom side, two lateral sides, and two abutment surfaces connected with the two lateral sides. The two abutment surfaces gradually approach each other from the fixed end to the insertion end. The second bed frame includes a top side, a bottom side, and a slot member adjacent to the first bed frame. The slot member is formed of two sidewalls, two abutment walls connected with the two sidewalls, and a slot, into which the insertion member can be inserted to interconnect the first and second bed frames. In this way, the knockdown bed can be easily assembled and structurally firm.

Abstract: A stereophonic device for a bed disposed adjacent to at least a wave reflecting object is provided. The bed has an upper side and a lower side. The stereophonic device includes a loudspeaker disposed on the lower side of the bed. The loudspeaker is adapted to generate direct sound waves radially propagating therefrom. A part of the direct sound waves propagate through the bed toward the upper side of the bed, and another part of the direct sound waves propagate toward the wave reflecting object, reflected by the wave reflecting object and becoming a reflected sound waves. The reflected sound waves then propagate toward the upper side of the bed and demonstrate stereophonic sound along with the direct sound waves propagating theretoward.
