  • Patent number: 10383448
    Abstract: A forward tilt assembly configured to tilt forward a seat of a chair. The forward tilt assembly includes a base, a seat plate, and a release mechanism. The seat plate is pivotally mounted to the base and includes two support brackets on the sides of the seat plate. Each support bracket includes a keyhole slot. The release mechanism is operable between locked and unlocked positions and includes a slidable lock pin mounted between the support brackets. The release mechanism includes two keyed collars, one disposed at each end of the lock pin. The collars are received in respective keyhole slots of the support brackets. When the release mechanism is in the unlocked position, the collars are unobstructed from moving within the keyhole slots, and the seat plate can pivot relative to the base, thereby tilting a rear of the chair seat.

  • Patent number: 9205724
    Abstract: A wire frame visor includes a generally U-shaped wire frame having inwardly extending spaced-apart opposed ends. An envelope of sun-blocking material is fastened over the generally rectangular wire frame. A mounting structure pivotally receives the opposed ends of the wire frame and is adapted to be secured to a location in a vehicle for use of the visor. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the mounting structure includes at least one adjustable torque clip which receives an inwardly projecting end of the wire frame to control the pivotal motion of the visor. In one embodiment the torque clip includes a loop which surrounds the end of the wire frame and an adjustment screw for tightening the loop around the wire end. Straps can be employed to attach the mounting structure to a side tubular member of a vehicle when so equipped.
