  • Patent number: 10548400
    Abstract: A bench (100) includes an upper member (101), a first leg member (103), and a second leg member (102). The first leg member and the second leg member can be selectively attachable to the upper member.

The substantially planar portion can define a seat (113) for a user, where the seat defines a seat width (116) and a seat length (117). The first leg member and the second leg member can define a leg member length (120) that is coextensive with seat length and the lengths of the side end portions. The leg members can include an adjustment mechanism (203) to selectively alter a height (207) of the one or both of the first leg member or the second leg member.

  • Publication number: 20190328026
    Abstract: A small batch roasting device including a base unit and a roasting chamber unit. The base unit includes a housing, a heating element, a fan, and a support surface. The housing defines an upper end, a lower end, and an isolation chamber open to the upper end. The heating element and the fan are within the housing, with the fan being positioned between the heating element and the lower end. The roasting chamber unit defines a roasting chamber, a leading region and a trailing region terminating at a trailing end. In an assembled state, a portion of the roasting chamber unit is disposed within the isolation chamber and the trailing portion is proximate the heating element. The roasting chamber unit is supported relative to the base unit by an interface with the support surface at a location longitudinally spaced from the trailing end.

  • Patent number: 10064771
    Abstract: A bed is provided having a non-pivotal actuation mechanism for a foot deck to assist the bed in being converted to a chair bed and lowered close to the floor even when the foot deck is in a generally vertical position. In one embodiment, the bed has a longitudinal gap between the intermediate deck section and the foot deck section. As the foot deck transitions to the generally vertical position from the generally horizontal position the gap between the intermediate frame section and the foot deck section is decreased.
