  • Patent number: 5647634
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a "fold-out" or integral child seat having a mechanism interconnecting a seatback member, a headrest member and a seat member for causing coordinated movement therebetween. When it is desired to deploy the integral child seat, the seatback member is moved to a tilted position and the headrest member is elevated while the seat member is moved to a lowered position for establishing an upright sitting position. Additionally, the integral child seat may be deployed to a reclined position wherein the seatback member is automatically moved to a second tilted position and the headrest member is moved to a second elevated position in coordination with the movement of the seat member to a second lowered position. As a result, movement of the integral child seat between its stowed and first and second deployed positions can be accomplished with relative ease and convenience to the person attempting such movement.

  • Patent number: 4374638
    Abstract: A ski tow arrangement for water skiing comprising an elongated handle having a pair of transverse openings and a tow line having free ends terminating in a loop extending into each of the openings. A flat T-shaped retainer is engaged by each of the loops and includes a central portion extending into the handle with laterally projecting barbs engaging opposing wall surfaces of the handle openings for resisting removal. The head portions of the T-shaped retainers abut an external rearward edge of the handle. The handle itself comprises a wooden core into which the retainer barbs are embedded, an aluminum sleeve surrounding the core and a casing of resilient friction material molded over the core. A pair of sleeves are formed integrally with the casing and project forwardly of the handle coaxially with the core openings for embracing the tow line and protecting a skier's hands from abrasion thereagainst.
