Abstract: A vehicle seat and storage system includes a vehicle seat having a seat base and a seat back extending from the seat base. A storage apparatus is connected to the seat back and is movable from a stowed position against the seat back to an extended position away from the seat back. The storage apparatus is configured to position and secure one or more cargo items. A seat motor is operably connected to the seat. The seat motor is configured to move the seat back from a first position extending upward from the seat base to a second position where the seat back is disposed flat against the seat base.

Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to the sortation of products using a conveyor assembly.

Abstract: Embodiments of putter-type golf club head comprising a striking surface capable of achieving consistent ball speeds across the striking surface to account for various ball impact locations are described herein. The striking surface has at least two materials that differ in concentration away from the geometric center of the striking surface to provide this consistency. Consistent (or uniform) ball speed is achieved throughout the striking surface as the portion of the golf ball that contacts the striking surface interacts with at least two materials having a differing material characteristic.

Abstract: A system for treating distinct batches of workpieces to serial procedures comprises first and second multi-site structures. In each multi-site structure the sites are rotatable for alignment in turn with loading and unloading stations together constituting treatment or process stations. Workpieces of a batch are loaded onto all of the treatment sites and then simultaneously and identically treated by operation of treatment stations with which the process sites are aligned. After treatment in the first structure, workpieces of a batch are transferred from the unloading stations of the first structure to the loading stations of the second structure for further processing.

Abstract: An automatic glove stripping machine is disclosed comprising a drive unit that distributes power to one or more stripping assemblies, each comprising a conveyor unit, a plurality of dipping molds, a pressurized air distribution system, a brush set, a plurality of grip assemblies, and a cam assembly. Each grip assembly is moved into engagement with a set of dipping molds retaining dip molded articles such as latex gloves. As each grip assembly and corresponding set of dipping molds travel over the stripping assembly, the molded articles on the dipping molds are partially removed by action of the grip assembly and a stream of pressurized air directed at each mold. As the set of dipping molds reaches the end of the stripping assembly, the molded articles are completely removed from their dipping molds by the brush set.
