Abstract: An adjustable, telescoping seat support with suspension that allows the height of a bicycle seat to be adjusted to a number of seat height positions safely while bicycle is in motion. An elongated tubular seat post is clamped to a bicycle frame in a stationary position. A bicycle seat is attached to an end of a tubular seat holder that is slidably posited over the stationary tubular seat post. The tubular seat holder has a coil spring on it that would provide suspension. A coil spring placed inside the tubular seat holder provides an extending force on the tubular seat post and the tubular seat holder such that the seat support is capable of extending to a raised seat position and compressing to a lowered seat position. The seat is locked into raised and lowered seat positions by a plunger locking portion that is attached to the elongated tubular seat holder and which remains at a fixed position relative to the seal for all seat height positions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for facilitating design and production engineering processes in a multi-disciplinary computer aided design environment. The system includes first enterprise including a workstation running a CAD application relating to a first engineering discipline; a second workstation running a CAD application relating to a second engineering discipline; a first storage device coupled to the first workstation; a second storage device coupled to the second workstation; a server executing a multi-discipline universal CAD library application; and a network connection for allowing the workstations and the server to communicate. The system also comprises a communications link to a second enterprise for allowing the second enterprise to communicate with the first enterprise. The system also comprises a commercial database accessible to both enterprises via the communications link.

Abstract: A holder for suspending ophthalmic lenses and lens blocks of various diameters from a rod in a lens and block cleaning machine has a frame with a horizontal base member and a pair of upright members extending upwardly, one from each end of the base member. A hanger extending from the upper ends of the upright members is adapted to suspend the frame from the rod. Pairs of pins extend forwardly from the front and rearwardly from the back of the base member along parallel spaced apart first and second axes in a horizontal plane. Arms are pivotally pinned to the upright members for rotation about axes parallel to the first and second axes from lowest positions approximately sixty degrees below horizontal to highest positions approximately sixty degrees above horizontal. Detents prevent rotation of the arms below the lowest position or above the highest position. Torsion springs connected between the upright members and the arms bias arms toward their lowest positions.
