Abstract: A dispenser is located within a golf bag and remotely controlled and coupled to a linear actuator, which extends the fluid dispenser outside of the golf bag upon actuation of the remote control. The remote control can also be actuated to cause the fluid dispenser to retract into the golf bag to hide the fluid delivery system from view.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a custom-contoured cushion for a wheelchair or other seating device and a method of making the same. In one embodiment, the novel custom-contoured cushion is comprised of a stretchable bag filled with soft and resilient closed-cell foam pellets adhered together by and/or embedded within an elastomeric polymerizable adhesive. The pellets do not absorb a significant amount of the adhesive and, after molding, remain sufficiently soft and resilient to provide a comfortable and durable cushion. Alternatively, the cushion contains soft and resilient pellets, but does not contain the elastomeric polymerizable adhesive. In the first embodiment, the custom-molded, custom-contoured cushion is made by mixing the pellets with the adhesive to form a pellet/adhesive mixture, positioning the user on a bag filled with the pellet/adhesive mixture, molding the mixture around the user to provide cushioning around the user's seating surface, and allowing the adhesive to cure.

Abstract: A method for making a molded cushion comprising positioning an object onto a bag made of a stretchable water-resistant material, wherein the bag is filled with a mixture of soft resilient pellets and a polymerizable adhesive, molding the bag and pellet/adhesive mixture around the object and allowing the adhesive to cure to conform to the shape of the object.

Abstract: An apparatus for supportably attaching a leg rest to a wheel chair comprising at least one seat frame member and a telescoping linkage slidably received within the seat frame member such that the linkage may be retracted and extended along a telescoping path parallel to a length of the seat frame member. The leg rest is supportably and pivotally attached to a forward end of the telescoping linkage at a hinge point wherein the hinge point is positioned proximate the knee of the user. The leg rest may be pivoted about the hinge point upward to a generally reclined horizontal position when the telescoping linkage is extended and downward to a generally vertical position when the telescoping linkage is retracted.

Abstract: This device is primarily designed for use on a powered wheelchair. The device utilizes a back frame (35) with an attached sliding backrest (21). The back frame (35) is electro-mechanically powered and pivotly attaches to the rearward side of seat frame members (32), allowing the back frame (35) to angle away from the seat frame members (32) in a reclining motion. When the back frame (35) reclines, it forces telescoping linkages (7) through seat frame members (32), extending the leg rests (14) forwardly away from the seat frame members (32). By pinning the top of the leg rests (14) back to the seat frame members (32), the forward motion forces the leg rests (14) to articulate in an upward motion. The backrest (21) is also attached to the telescoping linkages (7) by tie rods (15) through slots (34) in the sides of the seat frame members (32). When the telescoping linkages (7) move forward, they pull the backrest (21) with them, eliminating the shearing forces to the occupant.
