Patent number: 11877977Abstract: An improved walker includes an adjustable frame with angled portions that provide an ergonomic interface and enhanced stability for a user. The front of the walker includes a wishbone front support frame. Rather than incorporating multiple front legs extending from the top of the walker to the floor, the wishbone front support frame provides clearance on either side of a center front column. This clearance allows users to position, or maneuver, the walker close to adjacent objects. The handrail portions of the walker are pitched at a downward angle running in a direction from the rear to the front of the walker. This pitch moves the operating position of the user close to the front of walker providing a safe and stable operating position.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2021Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: CVS Pharmacy, Inc.Inventors: Robert Beale Van Varick, Donald Samuel Strum, George Benjamin Wintner, Ryan Crist, Gregory P.

Publication number: 20230397775Abstract: An improved shower chair having washdown surfaces, reconfigurable arrangements, and enhanced safety features. The shower chair includes a backrest that removably attaches to an underside of the shower chair offset from, and arranged below, a seat pan.

Publication number: 20150351549Abstract: A stool having a center column connecting a domed base and a domed seat is disclosed. The domed seat and/or the domed base may be resiliently deformable during use to provide a user with a “bouncing” sensation. The domed seat and/or domed base also may define or contain inflatable or fillable bladders to give them shape and/or provide the aforementioned “bouncing” sensation. The distance between the domed seat and domed base may be varied in some embodiments to adjust the height of the stool.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2014Publication date: December 10, 2015Applicant: Humanscale CorporationInventors: Donald Chadwick, Jeffrey Koffman, Todd Brunner, Gregory P.

Patent number: 5687895Abstract: An interlocking arrangement of storage boxes in the rear section of a passenger vehicle such as a sport utility vehicle. The arrangement preferably includes at least three storage boxes. Two of the boxes are respectively secured to the side walls of the vehicle. These side boxes are spaced from each other and the third box is slidably receivable between them. In the preferred embodiment, the third box has lips on its sides that respectively interlock with lips on the two side boxes to prevent the third box from being removed by lifting it upwardly between the two side boxes. Forward stops on the side boxes prevent the third box from being moved forwardly beyond the side boxes and the vehicle's tailgate in its closed position serves to prevent the third box from being moved rearwardly out of the vehicle. In this manner and with the tailgate in its locked, closed position, the three interlocking storage boxes are securely held in place.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1995Date of Patent: November 18, 1997Assignee: Bestop, Inc.Inventors: Gregory P.
