Abstract: A bolster is moveably mounted on a seat back with a bolster adjustment mechanism adapted to adjust and control the support provided by the bolster. Preferably, the bolster adjustment mechanism is mounted on the back side of the seat back, and preferably includes a positioning member between adjacent ribs in order to form a stop limit or positioning element when contacted by the ribs. The positioning member can be a variety of structures, such as structures of different dimensions, hardnesses or compressibility.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling the tilt range of a chair and the resistance to tilting of the chair including a torsion spring mounted to an axle, a tilt rate adjustment mechanism, a forward tilt limiter and a rearward tilt limiter. The tilt rate adjustment mechanism includes an outer sleeve member mounted to the spring. An arm extends radially outward from the sleeve and operably engages a block member threadably attached to a screw. A first and second gear member are actuated to rotate the screw so as to move the block member which thereby moves the arm a desired amount to adjust the initial return torque of the spring. The forward tilt limiter includes an arm extending outwardly from the axle. The arm operably engages a pivot member pivotally attached to a tilt control housing. The rearward tilt limiter also includes an arm extending outwardly from the axle. The arm operably engages a cam member pivotally attached to the tilt control housing.

Abstract: The magnetic data storage system includes a magnetic transducer head-suspension assembly with an inline suspension slider with a reduced height leading portion that provides for gimballed connection to the suspension load beam and a full height rear portion that enables the use of the increased height portion for the transducer coil windings. The suspension includes a single piece combined gram form and load beam with the entire head-suspension assembly being contained within the height of the slider full height portion to enable minimization of the head-suspension overall height required in magnetic disk drives with closely spaced disks and back to back transducer heads or minimum height head-suspension assemblies that extend between disk surfaces.
