  • Patent number: 4885827
    Abstract: The present invention provides a vehicle seat with an elastic membrane which may be selectively tensioned by a bladder. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention the frequency of the seat may be selectively modified by selective inflation of the bladder. The bladder also allows the membrane to be wrapped to a frame of the seat in such a manner to increase the predicted life cycle of the seat membrane utilized.

  • Patent number: 4423795
    Abstract: A three-wheeled cambering vehicle having a rear noncambering module which has a forwardly extending tongue which rotatably supports a main and front cambering module. The cambering module carries the vehicle operator who steers the vehicle by rotating a single front wheel about a substantially vertical axis and additionally leans in response to vehicle turn and his own will, the two modules are rotatable in relation to each other about an inclined camber axis extending longitudinally of the vehicle. The cambering module has cambering controls at a forward portion thereof to allow the operator to physically engage the controls with his feet for cambering the front module relative to the ground and rear modules.
