Abstract: A metal seat stretcher that is configured for easy mounting to the seat box, and furniture items including the same. The disclosed stretcher may be mounted in such a way so as not be directly mounted to the forward or rearward rails, thus preserving the strength and integrity of the rails by not subjecting them to perforation from a multitude of staples. Instead, the front end of the metal seat stretcher mounts to a clip rail that is secured to the inside of the front rail, and back end of the stretcher is secured to a seat back upright. In some embodiments, securing of the disclosed seat stretcher is done with a single screw at the front end and a single self-tapping bolt at the back end (though more fasteners may also be utilized). This provides for rapid and easy assembly of the furniture item.

Abstract: A CPAP pillow relies on a shell shaped to provide large reservoirs of fill particles near or against the shoulders of a user and around and under the neck. The system and method uncouple the spring forces supporting a user from the forces used to configure the shape of the pillow in use. Thus, a user can fit the pillow to the body profile in three dimensions with substantially no residual pre-loading to cause discomfort, pressure points, or unsupported regions. The pillow supports, contacts, and cradles the head and neck. It accommodates shoulder intrusion without moving the pillow away from supporting the neck.

Abstract: A swimming pool furniture having a vented assembly that can be submerged in an upright, stationary position on the bottom surface of the swimming pool allowing the user to access the furniture with his or her body partially submerged in the pool. The assembly includes a frame having a plurality of tubular elements including an upper cross member, front and rear lower cross members. The cross members are disposed between a pair of side members of the frame. The frame further includes water inlets in fluid communication with a cavity of the frame. The rear lower cross member includes a vertical member having a water inlet in fluid communication with the cavity of the frame. The frame can further include a seat that attaches to the upper cross member of the frame. As the furniture is submerged into the swimming pool, the water inlets receive water from the swimming pool into the cavity of the frame until the frame is full of water.
