Abstract: A reclining seating unit includes: a generally horizontally disposed seat; a pair of upright arms, each of the arms being positioned adjacent opposite sides of the seat and configured to rest on an underlying surface; a generally upright backrest positioned adjacent to a rear portion of the seat; at least one ottoman; and a pair of reclining mechanisms attached to the seat, arms, backrest and at least one ottoman, and a heart-rest mechanism pivotally interconnected with the reclining mechanisms. The heart-rest mechanism is configured so that the seating unit is movable between fully reclined and heart-rest positions in which the ottoman is disposed forwardly of the seat, the backrest forms a fully reclined angle with the seat that is substantially the same as that formed in the fully reclined position, and the seat forms a heart-rest angle with the underlying surface that is greater than in the fully reclined position.

Abstract: A vehicle seat for use with a vehicle includes a seatback frame and a guide member attached to the seatback frame. A slide bracket is attached to the seatback frame below the guide member, and the slide bracket has a slot. The seat further includes a headrest arrangement movably associated with the seatback frame. The headrest arrangement includes a headrest and a support structure connected to the headrest and engageable with the guide member. The support structure includes a projection that extends into the slot and that is movable with respect to the slide bracket from an initial position to an actuated position. Upon sufficient impact to the vehicle, the projection moves from the initial position toward the actuated position and the support structure moves along the guide member, such that movement of the headrest is guided to provide support for the head of an occupant.

Abstract: A wind protection device for an open motor vehicle includes a passenger cell that has at least one car seat with a backrest. There is on a level with the top area of the backrest at least one air outflow opening of an air supply system. Thereby, the head, shoulder and neck area of the seat occupant is impinged on with an air stream that can be regulated to avoid an undesired air draft. The air supply system has at least one sensor to measure a parameter value, whereby the air stream, issuing from the air outflow opening, is regulated as a function of the parameter value by way of a regulating unit.

Abstract: A child-restraint seat includes a seat shell, a child-restraint harness coupled to the seat shell, and a harness-control panel including a belt-receiving opening receiving a shoulder belt portion of the child-restraint harness. The harness-control panel is mounted on the seat shell for up and down movement relative to the seat shell to raise and lower the shoulder belt portion of the child-restraint harness with respect to the seat shell. The child-restraint seat further includes a panel-height adjustment mechanism coupled to the harness-control panel and movable between a locked position to prevent the harness-control panel from moving up and down relative to the seat shell and an unlocked position to allow the harness-control panel to move up and down relative to the seat shell. The panel-height adjustment mechanism is accessible to a user from both a front side and a rear side of the child-restraint seat.

Abstract: A foldable chair includes a leg assembly and a reclining back connected together by a pair of joint assemblies. Each joint assembly includes a through hole for receiving a support member of the reclining back, and a through channel for accommodating a control device that adjusts the reclining angle. The control device comprises a spring member and an adjustment block to be engaged and disengaged with a saw-tooth member formed on the lower end of the support member. A control button is connected to a handle of the adjustment block. The reclining angle can be adjusted when the control button is pulled to disengage the adjustment block with the saw-tooth member. The control button may also be coupled with the handle using a coupling device. By having the coupling device, the control button can be pushed to disengage the adjustment block with the saw-tooth member.

Abstract: A shock-absorbing bicycle saddle includes a saddle body, a top saddle frame transversely mounted in the bottom side of the rear part of the saddle body and defining with the bottom side of the saddle body a buffer space, two elastic members bilaterally stopped below the top saddle frame, a bottom saddle frame provided at the bottom side of the elastic members, and a bracket having two shank portions each having a front end respectively fixedly fastened to the bottom side of the front part of the saddle body and a rear end respectively fastened to left and right ends of the bottom saddle frame.

Abstract: A folding picnic table has a frame including folding legs. The frame supports a tabletop and a bench extending along each side of the tabletop. The picnic table folds between a use position and a storage position with the benches folded onto the tabletop and tipped onto one side on a caster assembly. The table includes a locking device, automatically locking the seating structures to the tabletop at a partially tipped position; and automatically releasing the legs when the table is tipped to a storage position. The frame also includes a retainer plate that keeps the frame from accidentally folding when the benches are folded onto the tabletop for cleaning under the table or during tipping of the table to a storage position.

Abstract: A convertible device for seating has a back; a seat, wheels for rolling the device, walls forming a receptacle for storing goods under the seat, the seat being turnable between a sitting position in which it is located substantially horizontally and covers the receptacle from above so that a person can sit on the seat, and a loading position in which the seat is turned and located substantially vertically at a distance from back so that goods can be loaded into the receptacle.

Abstract: An occupant seat of a motor vehicle includes a backrest, and a headrest mounted atop the backrest on a pair of posts. The headrest includes a base portion supported by the posts, and an occupant-engaging contact portion that is supported by the base portion for relative translational movement along a pair of tracks defined on the base portion. In response to a suitable control signal, such as the tensioning of a Bowden cable in response to an applied force, the contact portion moves under the control of an articulated linkage against a return spring bias and away from the base portion. The translational movement of the contact portion relative to the base portion serves to control contact surface inclination throughout the range of movement of the contact portion relative to the base portion.

Abstract: A seat for use by a person bathing includes a horizontal surface supported by four legs. Each leg is connected to another leg to form a support assembly. Each support assembly is affixed to the underside of the horizontal surface. The seat also includes two guide rails which support a basket mounted on the underside of the horizontal surface. The basket may be slid out from either the front or rear of the horizontal surface. The guide rails are also used to reinforce the seat. In addition, the basket may be affixed to an edge of the horizontal surface to allow access by the user of the seat.

Abstract: A folding chair includes two pairs of intersected legs. A traverse pivot rail interconnects the intersections of the two pairs of legs. Two support mechanisms are spaced along the pivot rail, each support mechanism comprising an upper hole. Two cylinder pads are anchored in the upper holes. Two fastening mechanisms each include an upper section and a lower section, each section having a half tube mating and coupled to each other with the pivot rail passed therethrough. A seat is pivotably secured to the pivot rail by fasteners threaded through the upper and the lower sections and into the seat. In a use position, the seat is adapted to exhibit an elastic, downward movement as buffered by the cylinder pads. In a folding operation, the seat is turned about the pivot rail until being stopped by a chair back.
