Patent number: 12232628Abstract: A chair assembly is provided. The chair assembly includes locking members arranged at a joint between a chair chassis and a seat back support and joints between the chair chassis and two armrests correspondingly. An assembly block of the locking member is formed on the chair chassis while an assembly groove of the locking member is formed in both the seat back support and the respective armrests for being fit on the assembly block of the chair chassis correspondingly. Now a tenon disposed on the assembly block is capable of being engaged with a locking hole arranged at the assembly groove. A positioning part elastically abuts against the opposite side walls of the assembly groove. Thereby assembly of the chair chassis with both the seat back support and the armrests is finished easily and quickly. The chair assembly is more comfortable and safe for users sitting thereon.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2023Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Comfordy Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yu-Ling Wu, Martin Potrykus, Armin Roland Sander

Patent number: 12137817Abstract: An interlocking mechanism for a seat and a back of a chair is provided. A seat body and a chair chassis are pivotally connected, and a pad plate is pivotally connected with the seat body. Thereby the pad plate is moved around a pivotal connection between itself and the seat body when users sit on the pad plate. While a front side of the pad plate is moved downward, it is inclined to an angle slowly by a pad spring connected with the pad plate. When the use is leaning on the chair back connected with the seat body, the seat body is moved backward with a pivotal connection between itself and the chair chassis. The pivotal connection between the seat body and the pad plate can push the pad plate upward so that the seat body is inclined with the chair back and the user sits more comfortably.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2022Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: Comfordy Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yu-Ling Wu, Armin Roland Sander, Martin Potrykus

Publication number: 20230414846Abstract: The present teachings generally include parabiotic dialysis systems and techniques. For example, the present disclosure includes parabiotic liver dialysis, e.g., for use in settings with limited resources. To this end, a parabiotic liver dialysis system may include a device having a semipermeable membrane with an average pore size that allows for the passage of albumin therethrough. In such a system, a first extracorporeal circuit may connect the device to the vascular system of a first animal (e.g., a liver patient), and a second extracorporeal circuit may connect the device to the vascular system of a second animal (e.g., a human with normal liver function), where the exchange of albumin therebetween is facilitated through the device. The present disclosure also includes various safety measures for parabiotic dialysis systems and techniques, such as biometric verification systems and techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Stefan Weiss, Peter Kotanko, Roland Sander
