Patent number: 7658442Abstract: A chair (10) includes a frame (11) which carries a seat (29). Opposed track assemblies (30) depend downwardly from branches (12, 13) of the frame (11) and slidably carry a drawer (40). The drawer (40) is thereby positioned below the branches (12, 13) and below the seat (29) by a substantial distance so that items in the drawer which extend above the upper surface of the drawer do not engage the seat (25). Branches (14, 15) of the frame (11) may carry a tray (20).Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2006Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: Whiteside Mfg. Co.Inventors: Kirt E. Whiteside, Terry L.

Patent number: 6425590Abstract: A device (10) which can be transformed between creeper and chair configurations includes a support frame (15) which pivotally carries a first pivotal frame (16) and a second pivotal frame (17). The support frame (15) carries caster assemblies (21, 22, 23) which are positioned to render the device safely mobile in either configuration. A pad (12) is carried by the first pivotal frame (16) and serves as a headrest when the device is in the creeper configuration and a backrest when the device is in the chair configuration. A second pad (13) is hinge connected to the first and second pivotal frames (16, 17) and is maintained horizontal as it translates from the mid-body support of the creeper to a seat for the chair. A third pad (14) is carried by the support frame (15) and serves as a shelf under the second pad (13) when in the chair configuration.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2000Date of Patent: July 30, 2002Assignee: Whiteside Mfg.

Patent number: 6010187Abstract: A seat (10) especially adapted for use by a mechanic includes a frame (11) which carries a seat cushion (21) and a lower tray (22). A tray frame (35) removably carries an upper tray (30) and is pivotally attached to the frame (11) by a pivot assembly (40). The pivot assembly (40) includes a hollow rod (41) attached to the tray frame (35). A coil spring (42) which carries pivot pins (43, 44) is slidably received in the rod (41). The pins (43, 44) engage the frame (11) so that the tray frame (45) and the upper tray (22) carried thereby are pivotal from a first position generally under the seat cushion (21) to a second position at least partially out from under the seat cushion (21) for ready access to items carried by the upper tray (22). The frame (35) may be maintained in the first position by a fastener (45) carried by the frame (35) and engageable with the frame (11).Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 1998Date of Patent: January 4, 2000Assignee: Whiteside Mfg.
