  • Publication number: 20190090605
    Abstract: The disclosed device is a travel case that includes an internal projection for headband retention. The projection is sized larger than the relaxed position of standard headbands. Thus, when a headband is placed on the projection, the curved strip of the headband is stretched. The result is compression by the headband against the projection, holding the headband in position. When held in place, any ornamental component of the headband is held in a position separated from the walls of the case. Thus, the ornamental component is protected from damage due to rubbing or crushing.

    Abstract: The Adjustable Slant Board was developed to provide a comfortable alternative to sitting, standing, and lying down. It is a collapsible apparatus that when erect allows the user to stand and recline on a platform. The device is comprised of several sections which provide for the adjustment of the angle of the slant board when in use. Reclining the body in an erect position relieves pressure on the lower back while allowing the user the ability to perform many tasks of daily living. When placed in the most comfortable position, the user is free to watch TV eat, read, use electronic devices, etc. The collapsibility of the Adjustable Slant Board allows it to be stored out of the way if only needed occasionally. Slant boards have been used previously in exercise equipment primarily to invert the body. A slant board designed to provide a stable platform from which to perform other tasks more comfortably is novel.

  • Publication number: 20190090646
    Abstract: A ready-to-assemble (“RTA”) sofa suitable for outdoor use comprising a seat base and a back rest that can be reconfigured between a use configuration in which the sofa has a conventional L-shaped cross-section and a shipping or storage configuration in which the sofa is arranged in a more efficiently stacked rectangular cross-section. The rectangular cross-section allows the sofa to be more efficiently stacked with other sofas during shipping or storage. In addition, the rectangular cross-section reduces the dead spaces created when an L-shaped sofa is inserted into a box that can collapse during shipping or storage. Moreover, providing a single rigid integral component, the seat base, as an internal skeletal component, provides vertical support extending substantially the height of the box at the opposing ends, provides a highly robust boxed package.

  • Publication number: 20190090647
    Abstract: The flexible support device is used for chair back tilting, which is installed under a cushion. The device includes a base, two driving members connected to the chair back, a pulling rod crossing the base and a spring disposed in the base. The base is connected to ends of the driving members. Two ends of the pulling rod are separately connected to two free ends of the two driving members. The pulling rod has a frame encompassing the spring. The frame has an action end blocking the spring. When the chair back is pressed to tilt rearward, the driving members are rotated to draw the pulling rod to move toward the chair back, and the action end of the frame is driven to compress the spring so as to make the chair back flexibly supported.
