  • Patent number: 10104968
    Abstract: A seat assembly for task-oriented seating comprises a seat support and a seat coupled to the seat support. The seat is movable under load, such as from the user's weight and movements, relative to the seat support. The seat has a cushion molded over a supporting armature with multiple bias elements. The seat and seat support are configured to deflect by predetermined amounts at defined locations over an extent of the seat assembly. In this way, the seat assembly provides for a range of comfortable and effective positions for users engaged in different active motions and having different preferences and sizes.

  • Patent number: 5275105
    Abstract: A rotatable printing machine includes a horizontal exchangeable cylinder which is held between two sidewalls of a machine frame by a holding and driving arrangement which enables disengagement. To remove the cylinder, a carriage arrangement is positioned in the frame and can include a movable trolley for receiving the cylinder and sliding it in a horizontal plane onto a hand cart. One embodiment includes a movable table for raising and lowering the cylinder from the path of the trolley to the operating position. Another embodiment positions rails for the trolley immediately underneath the operating position of the cylinder and includes an arrangement for raising and lowering supports for the cylinder relative to the cylinder. A third embodiment includes a fixed track mounted immediately adjacent the cylinder and utilizing position adjustment means for the drives of the cylinder to lower the cylinder onto the track.
