Abstract: An armrest structure includes a support and a body rotatably mounted on the support. The support includes a pair of protrusions and the body includes a notched channel for receiving the protrusions. By rotating the body on the support, the protrusions are repositioned in the notched channel between selected stable use positions. The notches are located on both sides of the channel such that the body can be located in a first position with the first surface on the body facing generally upwardly for use, and a second position with the second surface on the body facing generally upwardly for use. By varying the surfaces on the body, and also the engagement of the protrusion with the notched channel, various spacial positions and functional surfaces can be selectively positioned for use.

Abstract: A chair includes a base, a chair control and tilt mechanism, a shell assembly and a cushion assembly. The shell assembly includes a seat shell fixed to the base and a separate back shell. The back shell and seat shell are interconnected by a mechanical hinge. The hinge includes a pair of tabs on the back shell received in sockets defined by the seat shell. The tabs are retained in the sockets by the chair base. Back supports or chair arms have ends operatively connected to the tilt mechanism. Opposite ends of the arms are secured to the seat back to support and guide the back during tilting movement. The cushion assembly includes a molded foam member having a fabric or other upholstery material joined thereto. The back shell includes an integral, hinged upholstery flap. The fabric of the cushion assembly is folded over and joined to the flap. The flap is folded and operatively connected to a rear surface of the back shell. The seat shell includes another integral upholstery attachment flap.

Abstract: An air flow directing seal with integrally formed attachment member for attaching a seal to an automotive fan shroud is disclosed. The seal further includes an integrally formed flag portion which directs the flow of air from the radiator to the fan shroud. The attachment member includes a semi-rigid C-shaped channel that is made of a talc filled polypropylene material and further includes flexible resilient teeth integral with the inside surfaces of the C-shaped channel which aid in gripping the seal to a linear edge of the automotive fan shroud. The seal is made by a dual extrusion process whereby two types of thermoplastic materials are utilized having various physical properties in accordance with the desired specification. The flexible resilient teeth and the flag are made of the same thermoplastic rubber and the C-shaped channel is made of polypropylene during the same extrusion process. Thus, the teeth and the flag extend the entire length of the seal.
