The frame portion comprises a plurality of rigid segments, which are connected by a hub and from which is hung the chair seat portion. In one embodiment, the frame is comprised of multiple segments which can be taken apart for ease of storage and packing while the seat portion may be made of a soft, pliable cloth like material which is supported by a number of straps coupled to two buckles that fit over a knob or other protrusion in the upright seat support frame portion for providing and controlling automatic reclining of the chair seat back portion.

Abstract: A T-link hinge for hingeably connecting first and second members comprises a link portion having a T-shaped cross-section including a top region and a bottom region, wherein the top region has a width greater than a width of the bottom region. The link portion comprises first and second thru holes formed in the bottom region of the link portion adjacent each the respective first and second ends of the link portion. Each of the first and second members to which the link portion is to be mounted includes thru holes. In an assembled configuration of the link portion and the first and second members, the thru holes formed on the first and second members axially align with the pair of thru holes in the link portion and are connected by first and second pins.

Abstract: An outdoor item such as a sleeping bag, jacket, hat or blanket with one or more ventilation/temperature adjustment openings. Each ventilation/temperature adjustment opening includes, in one embodiment, a mechanism that serves to either form an opening in one or both of the outer layer, and the inner layer of the outdoor item. In another embodiment, the one or more ventilation/temperature adjustment mechanism includes an air bladder which, when inflated, serves to push aside any insulation adjacent the deflated air bladder while in both embodiments, allowing the outdoor item to vent better, thereby cooling an occupant using or wearing the outdoor item thereby offering temperature regulation.

Abstract: A system and method for forming a seam between at least first and possibly second pieces of material used to form an inflatable product utilizes at least a first and potentially a second seam forming members that are attached to an inside wall of a piece of product material that comprises the inflatable product proximate each end. The inflatable product is comprised of one or more pieces of product material and one or more seam forming members located at any location where a seam is necessary. A first portion of the seam forming member attaches to a first edge of a first piece of product material and a second portion of the seam forming member attaches proximate a second edge of the first piece of product material. The seal forming can be accomplished by radio frequency, ultrasonic, heat or other types of welding, and adhesive or chemical based bonding.
