  • Publication number: 20150234173
    Abstract: Wearable binoculars comprising: a binocular main body having a pair of lens barrels that support at least an objective lens and an ocular lens and mounting each lens barrel aligned in parallel with an interpupillary distance adjustment mechanism for adjusting an interval from each other; a frame provided with a front main frame and a pair of temples extending backward from both sides of the main frame and the main frame coupled with the binocular main body, the temples locked on temporal parts and ears of a wearer to position the binocular main body in front of eyes; and a nose pad having a deformable pad portion opened in approximately inverted truncated chevron shape, the pad portion locked on a nose of the wearer to support the binocular main body and also an opening angle of the pad portion being adjusted to change a locking position with the nose, and enabling positional adjustment of the binocular main body to both eyes of the wearer.

  • Publication number: 20100146708
    Abstract: A stretch assist cushion includes an upper member with an upper surface serving as a sitting surface in contact with the user's hip directly or through a covering member covering the upper member, the upper member made of an elastic material; and a lower member located below the upper member and with lower surface serving as a bottom surface in contact with a floor directly or through a covering member covering the lower member, the lower member made of a material harder than the material of the upper member. When the cushion is positioned such that the bottom surface is in contact with the floor, the sitting surface has a predetermined tilt angle relative to the floor, and the lower member determines a predetermined distance between the floor and the lowest point of the sitting surface that has the predetermined tilt angle.
