Abstract: A rocking chair comprising a base, a seat assembly including a seat rockably mounted to the base and a backrest mounted to the seat so as to be movable between first and second positions includes a couple of biasing members mounted to the backrest for biasing the backrest towards the first position, and a locking mechanism mounted to both the base and the seat assembly for locking the seat relatively to the base when the backrest is in the first position. The locking mechanism is operated by applying at least a threshold force onto the backrest, which causes the backrest to move between the first and second positions relatively to the seat, unlocking the backrest relatively to the base, and allowing the seat to move relatively to the base. The locking mechanism includes a toothed rack and an arm lever that operatively cooperate in response to a small force exerted on the backrest. The rocking chair is safe for people having hand or forearm disability problem and for people with reduced mobility.

Abstract: An apparutus for coating a liquid on an elongated profile having a longitudinally extending front surface and a longitudinally extending back surface has a housing forming a generally closed treatment chamber and having an inlet opening and an outlet opening spaced downstream along a treatment path extending through the chamber from the inlet opening. Both openings are of a size and shape slightly larger than the section of the molding. A mist of the coating liquid is supplied to the chamber. An upwardly open channel guide extending in the chamber between the openings is formed with an upwardly open groove open longitudinally at each of the openings. This guide is generally complementary to the back surface of the molding.
