  • Publication number: 20170273437
    Abstract: A pump-type compact container is configured such that, when the user pressurizes a button portion, the button portion is moved downwards, and then restored by the elastic force of the button portion itself, thereby changing the pressure inside the container body and discharging the contents. Therefore, since contents having a high viscosity can be discharged easily through a simple structure, even if no separate pumping member exists, the assembly time is shortened and manufacturing costs are reduced.

This table base allows the user to quickly adjust the pitch, and stability of the table with a “Disc” and “Captive Nut” invention that is not seen on any other table base. Floors are almost never completely level so, in nearly all settings, any table will wobble and not be level without adjustment. When the table is moved even slightly it will need to be adjusted again. The Integrated Disc Table base allows smooth, precise and simple adjustment so when a table is moved it can made level and stabilized with-out having to tilt, lift, slide, or turn the table. It can also be adjusted when the table is full of food and beverage and with substantial weight on it.

The bed frame can also be easily collapsed into a relatively compact package since the normal long side rails are comprised of two components that can be manipulated such that the two components can be in an end to end orientation when the side rails used in a bed frame or in a generally side by side orientation to facilitate shipping and storage. The cross rails can also be formed of two components that can be moved between an end to end orientation and a generally parallel orientation. A locking system locks certain of the components into a fixed position when in the end to end orientation.

  • Publication number: 20170273469
    Abstract: A convertible bed system is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the system provides at least one substantially horizontally oriented guide rail configured for being secured within a room in a position substantially parallel with a substantially vertically oriented wall of the room. A pair of substantially vertically oriented first and second wall supports are positioned substantially parallel with the wall of the room and slidably engaged with the at least one guide rail in a side-by-side arrangement. A substantially horizontally oriented first bed frame is secured to the first wall support and is sized and configured for supporting a first mattress thereon. A substantially horizontally oriented second bed frame is secured to the second wall support and is sized and configured for supporting a second mattress thereon. The first and second bed frames are capable of selectively moving between one of a joined position—forming a single bed—and a separated position—forming a pair of beds.

  • Publication number: 20170273471
    Abstract: An improved structure of an inflatable cushion includes: a top layer constituting a surface of the inflatable cushion, a bottom layer constituting an undersurface of the inflatable cushion, and a side layer constituting a circumference of the inflatable cushion such that the inflatable cushion defines an interior space. Longitudinal stretch bands and lateral stretch bands are arranged in the interior space in such a way that portions of the longitudinal stretch bands are jointed to the top layer to form first connection sections and portions of the lateral stretch bands are jointed to the bottom layer to form second connection sections. The lateral stretch bands and the longitudinal stretch bands intersect each other and the first connection sections and the second connection sections oppose each other in a vertical direction.

  • Publication number: 20170273472
    Abstract: An inflatable mattress has an upper layer structure, an inflatable middle layer and a bottom layer structure. The upper layer structure includes a basic fabric layer and a covering layer. The basic fabric layer is woven by a plurality of fabric fibers, wherein the number of weft and warp fibers per square inch is higher than 100. The covering layer and the basic fabric layer stick to each other by glues, wherein the weight of the glues are higher than 20 grams per square yard and lower than 80 grams per square yard. The basic fabric layer orients toward the direction of the coverage layer, pressing and embedding into the covering layer and constituting a fabric surface laminating material.

    Abstract: Vibration devices are described that provide soothing movement or motion to a person, such as an infant or toddler, laying in a bed. The vibration devices are not part of, but are separately attachable to/removable from, the bed. The vibration devices utilize a control section that is outside the bed and a passive or active transmission element located underneath the mattress that transfers vibration motion to mattress the person is laying on. The devices described herein may also produce noise resulting from the generated movement that may be soothing to the person laying on the mattress.

    Abstract: A system for framing an artwork substrate includes a shoulder, a rib, and a spacer connected to the shoulder and the rib. An adhesive on the rib retains the artwork substrate in relation to the rib and within bounds of the shoulder. The rib may be shorter than the shoulder. Depending on the height of the rib in relation to the shoulder, the artwork substrate may be positioned on the rib inset below the shoulder, flush with the shoulder, or otherwise. The spacer offsets the rib from the shoulder, and the artwork substrate may be positioned with edges abutting the shoulder in a box arrangement or offset from the shoulder in a floating arrangement.
