Patent number: 10058185Abstract: A seating structure employing a thermoplastic flexor defining the flexibility and stiffness of a seatback is provided. The seating structure may comprise a seat portion for supporting a user, a seatback portion for supporting a user, a frame for supporting the seat portion and the seatback portion, one or more base portions extending at an angle from the seatback portion, and one or more thermoplastic flexors affixed to or within the seatback and base portions of the seating structure. The thermoplastic flexor has certain material characteristics which define and limit the deflection and a rebound of the seatback portion relative to the base portion when under load. The seating structure may further comprise one or more anchors securing the seatback portion, base portion, and thermoplastic flexor to the frame.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2016Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: EXEMPLIS LLCInventors: Tushar Naik, Ryan Dibble, Myong Kim, Brittney Blaise, Ken-Soh Mai, Mitchell Mulder

Publication number: 20060189462Abstract: The exercise devices disclosed herein are configurable to allow a user to perform various exercises. The exercise device can include an adjustable bench assembly connected with a frame supporting a cable-pulley assembly providing a user interface with a resistance system. A user can interface with an actuation component to pull resistance cables against resistance from the resistance system. Various exercise accessories can be provided that are easily connected with and removed from the exercise device to allow a user to perform different exercises. Some examples of exercise accessories are used to configure the exercise device for squat, abdominal, leg extension, leg curl, and arm curl exercises. The frame can also be configured to selectively place the exercise device in a stationary operating configuration supported by the frame on a support surface and a storage configuration wherein the exercise device is rollingly supported on the support surface by wheels.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2006Publication date: August 24, 2006Applicant: Nautilus, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Pearson, Terrence Joehnk, Eric Golesh, Edward Flick, Matthew Rauwerdink, Brent Christopher, Ryan Dibble
