    Abstract: A folding chair including a folding mechanism. The folding mechanism further includes two support rods respectively hinged to two first connection pieces. A second connection piece is fixed above the first connection pieces on upright rods. When the folding mechanism is unfolded, the second connection pieces are slidably connected to the support rods. When the folding chair is unfolded, a weight on the seat cushion is transferred through the support rods to the first connection pieces and hence, the first connection pieces are pressed and disabled to slide up such that the folding chair is fully unfolded and remains in a stable unfolded state. Furthermore, since the upright rods and the support rods are fixed by the first connection pieces and the second connection pieces when the folding chair is fully unfolded, the folding chair can be carried by simply gripping the upright rods and the support rods.

  • Publication number: 20240245224
    Abstract: A support cushion comprises a body support portion having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. An electrically conductive fabric is positioned atop the support cushion and draws heat away from the surface of the support cushion, or a plurality of thermoelectric elements are positioned and configured to selectively provide heating or cooling at the surface of the body support portion. Methods of making a support cushion are also provided and include metalizing a fabric substrate with a first metal, and applying the metalized fabric substrate to a body support cushion. The electrically conductive fabric and thermoelectric elements can also be included in a method of controlling the surface temperature of a support cushion, whereby an electrical current is supplied in a first direction to decrease the surface temperature of the support cushion, and a second direction to increase the surface temperature of the support cushion.

  • Publication number: 20240245225
    Abstract: A mattress assembly with a surface that is stabilized to prevent separation of rails (e.g., side rails, end rails) from edges of a primary cushion of the mattress assembly. A strip of scrim fabric may overlap each rail and an adjacent portion of the primary cushion to stabilize the interface or seam between an edge of the primary cushion and a rail positioned against that edge. Methods for stabilizing the upper surfaces of mattress assemblies are also disclosed, as are adjustable beds including mattresses with stabilized upper surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20240245226
    Abstract: This invention consists of a flat air bag, 60 inches long and either 30 or 36 inches in width. The flat air bag with a foam board overlay is placed on top of the bed foundation supine, under the mattress thus causing the bed sag to be corrected with inflation . A valve and a hose connect the air bag to the air pump. The air bag is inflated by placing the air pump hose over the intake valve of the air bag. The air pump is turned on until adequate pressure is achieved and the sag in the mattress is rectified. The air bag stops filling when adequate pressure is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20240245227
    Abstract: A mattress cover masks, buffers, or dampens the feel of the texture of the upper surface of a patterned gel layer of an upper cushioning element of a mattress. The mattress cover includes an outer surface, a mask layer, an outer periphery, and an optional bottom. A configuration of the mask layer enables it to mask, buffer, or dampen the feel of the texture of the upper surface of the patterned gel layer without interfering with a compressibility of the upper cushioning element. The mask layer may include a patterned gel layer with a different pattern than that of the patterned gel layer of the upper cushioning element of the mattress. Methods of manufacturing and installing mattress covers that mask, buffer, or dampen the feel of a patterned gel layer of an upper cushioning element of a mattress are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240245229
    Abstract: An infant care apparatus includes a base. A drive mechanism and a vibratory mechanism are coupled to the base. A movable stage is movably mounted to the base. An infant support is coupled to the movable stage. The drive mechanism imparts a first cyclic motion to the movable stage, and imparts a second cyclic motion to at least part of the movable stage independent of the first cyclic motion and to the vibratory mechanism so that the vibration motor vibrates the movable stage. The infant support is coupled to the movable stage and moves cyclically in both the first and second cyclic motions. The controller is configured to move the infant support in a selectably variable motion profile with selectable vibration modes selected from different selectably variable motion profiles and selectably different vibration modes for each of the different selectable variable motion profiles.

  • Publication number: 20240245231
    Abstract: Techniques for attaching a wireless display device to a vertical surface are provided. In one technique, a display device deploys a first adhesion mechanism to secure the display device to a vertical surface. It is detected that the first adhesion mechanism is about to fail. In response to detecting that the first adhesion mechanism is about to fail, the display device deploys a second adhesion mechanism to secure the display device to the vertical surface. In another technique, a display device deploys one or more adhesion mechanisms to secure the display device to a vertical surface. It is determined that the one or more adhesion mechanisms are about to fail. In response, the display device deploys one or more airbags around the display device to protect the display device in case the one or more adhesion mechanisms fail.
