Abstract: An aircraft seat formed of a container having a horizontal top surface and opposed paralleled downwardly extending sides, a seat base supported parallel to and above the container top surface, an aircraft seat being supported on the seat base, a plurality of low friction pads interposed between the container top surface and the seat base to permit the seat base to be easily moved relative to the container, the seat base and the container top having aligned openings therethrough, a shaft received in the openings and rigidly connected to a brake plate positioned below the container top, a spring urging the brake plate upwardly to lock the seat base relative to the container and an actuating member affixed to the seat base and extending over the shaft providing a mechanism for downward displacement of the shaft to thereby release the force of the brake plate to thereby allow the seat base to be moved and/or rotated relative to the container.

Abstract: Disclosed is a string musical instrument suitable for use as a guitar having a hollow base with outer and inner ends, the instrument neck extending from the base inner end. The base defines the instrument sound box; is disclosed having front and back surfaces members interconnected along their outer edges by a side wall, the front surface member being formed as a planar member which functions as a sound board; and is shaped to define inner and outer end portions of, respectively, greater and smaller widths interconnected by a narrowing middle portion, thereby the base's smaller outer end portion adapts to a person's body to facilitate the holding and playing of same. The base further is disclosed with sound hole or holes formed in its inner end portion at the widest portion thereof to increase the region in the guitar base for concentrically generating sound and enhance its sound generating characteristics.
