  • Patent number: 6951359
    Abstract: An interior rear seat for a motor vehicle includes a main seat located in a vehicle rear cabin portion that has opposed two end side portions, and a first rear interior side panel connected to a first inner vehicle skin surface and located adjacent an inwardly projecting wheel arch of the vehicle. The first side panel has a first seating portion that is continuous with one of the end side portions to extend the main seat adjacent the wheel arch. The rear seat with increased comfort is typically part of a production vehicle converted into a taxi vehicle. The invention also concerns a method for modifying a production vehicle with the rear seat.

  • Patent number: 5837204
    Abstract: A system for disinfecting the water lines of a dental unit is provided with first and second unidirectional check valves. Water at a first pressure is normally supplied to the water lines of the dental unit through the first check valve. A reservoir of liquid disinfectant can be pressurized at a second pressure higher than the first pressure by the air compressor already equipping the dental unit to supply disinfectant to the water lines of the dental unit through the second check valve. Liquid disinfectant is prevented from reaching the water supply line by the first check valve. In the same manner, when the reservoir is not pressurized, the second check valve prevents water from the water supply line from reaching the disinfectant.

  • Patent number: 5561275
    Abstract: The headset comprises left and right elongate ear pieces having respective first ends to receive ear tips and respective, interconnected second ends. Each ear piece includes a one-piece elongate body made of flexible and resilient material and curved outwardly to skirt round the user's head when the ear tips are applied to a user's ears. The elongate body is formed with a first length of smaller cross section and therefore of greater flexibility proximate the second end of the corresponding ear piece and with a second length of lower flexibility situated between that first length and the corresponding ear tip. Bending of the elongate bodies when the ear pieces are spread apart is therefore concentrated in the first lengths and pressure applied to the user's ears by the ear tips is mainly produced by the bent first lengths and transmitted to the ear tips through the second lengths of lower flexibility.

  • Patent number: 5115955
    Abstract: A ski rack comprising a support base member having one or more adjustable ski retention posts secured thereto and extending vertically thereabove. One or more abutment members extend vertically from the base member and disposed in spaced aligned relationship with a respective one of the retention posts. The retention posts each have flexible biasing fingers which project toward the abutment members in a ski receiving space defined between the posts and the abutment members for applying clamping pressure against a pair of skis supported on the base member in the ski receiving space. A bridge member extends above and across the abutment members and the retention posts. Attachment elements are disposed adjacent opposed ends of the ski rack for securing same to a vehicle.
