  • Patent number: 9713523
    Abstract: The invention provides a stent-graft system comprising a graft member and a stent having a connection end interconnected with the graft member and a free end opposed thereto. A belt retaining structure is provided at the stent free end. A belt is releasably retained in the belt retaining structure and is configured to constrain the stent free end independent of the stent connection end. A method of securing at least one end of a stent-graft within a vessel is also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20060170257
    Abstract: A furniture mounted cup holder includes a cup holder base having a perimeter wall defining an interior cavity. A lid is slidably received within the cavity. The lid includes: a flat end surface to support a beverage container; an outer perimeter wall which slides against the cup holder base perimeter wall; and at least one indentation created at a junction between the outer perimeter wall and the end surface. The indentation assists in manual removal of the lid from the cup holder base. A biasing device is in contact with both the end surface of the lid and the cup holder base. The biasing device displaces the lid between a latched, lid depressed position and a lid extended position. Radial extensions of the lid help center the lid in the cavity and prevent lid rotation.

  • Publication number: 20060170272
    Abstract: A deflection limitation system for upholstered furniture seat members includes a rectangular-shaped support frame having opposed front and rear members and opposed sides. Sinuous-shaped springs are connected to both the front and rear members. Each spring is deflectable over a limited range defined between a non-deflected position and a maximum deflected position. A wire element crossing below the spring elements has ends each connected to different frame sides. A central portion of the wire element is downwardly curved. A predefined spacing separates the wire element central portion from each of the spring elements in the non-deflected position. The maximum deflected position of the spring elements wherein the spring elements contact the central portion of the wire element is reached when a predefined load is distributed to the spring elements. The spring elements are thereafter restrained from further deflection by the wire element.

  • Publication number: 20060076813
    Abstract: A power-assisted heavy lift chair comprises a base assembly. A chair frame is supported on the base assembly. A lift mechanism communicates with the base assembly and the chair frame, and is operable to actuate the chair frame between first and second positions. A transformer provides electrical power to an electric motor. The electric motor provides rotational power to the lift mechanism at a first rate to lift and/or lower the chair frame. The electric motor draws current from the transformer according to a load upon the chair frame. The rate that the electric motor lifts and/or lowers the chair frame depends upon the voltage provided by the transformer. The transformer is operable to provide a generally constant voltage regardless of the current draw of the electric motor. Therefore, the electric motor lifts and/or lowers the chair at a constant rate independent of the load on the chair.

  • Publication number: 20060076339
    Abstract: A piece of furniture utilizes a movable heating member or heating pad that can be positioned at various locations on the furniture and/or on a user of the furniture. The heating pad is selectively operable to generate heat. The heating pad can be selectively connected to and unconnected from the piece of furniture for use and storage in a convenient storage location on the furniture.
