Abstract: A furniture spring system includes a lid configured to provide a seating surface. The lid includes a frame having two opposing frame members and a retention member associated with at least one of the two opposing frame members. The furniture spring system further includes a slat extending between the two opposing frame members. The slat includes a plurality of slat portions adjustably coupled to each other, such that a total length of the slat is adjustable.

Abstract: This invention provides a coil and magnet assembly that is operatively interconnected with an oscillating free piston that moves along an axis. A coil mounting disk is operatively connected to a coil assembly. A magnet assembly is mounted on a magnet base. The magnet assembly is coaxial with respect to the coil assembly. The coil assembly and the magnet assembly are in oscillating motion with respect to each other in conjunction with oscillating motion of the free piston. A spring assembly comprising a plurality springs, symmetrically positioned about the axis, extend between the magnet base and the coil mounting disk, so as to move in conjunction with the oscillating motion along the axis. At least some of the springs are conductive and electrically connect the mounting disk to the magnet base. The piston can reside in a casing that is part of either a two-stroke engine or a fluid pump.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adjusting mechanism, in particular in the interior fittings area of a motor vehicle, in which a support structure is movable relative to a base element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a spring supporting structure of a linear compressor which is capable of reducing the horizontal length of the compressor by reducing the overall length which adds the length of an inner resonance spring to the length of an outer resonance spring by placing at least three inner resonance springs and outer resonance springs so as to cross each other to the cylindrical direction vertical to the center line of a inner/outer spring supporters placed between an inner stator assembly and an outer stator assembly fixedly formed on a frame elastically installed inside of a casing in order to make the magnet assembly perform the linear reciprocating motion, and placing the part of the elastic region of the certain inner resonance spring so as to overlap with the elastic portion of the adjacent outer resonance spring.

Abstract: The shock absorber device for telescopic protection devices is formed of a plurality of tubular covering elements which slide inside one another in a defined direction, each tubular element having a scraper and a stop on the scraper, the shock absorber device including at least one shock absorber part, positioned and operating between the scraper and the stop of two adjacent tubular elements, and a second shock absorber part, positioned and operating between the stops of two adjacent tubular elements, each shock absorber part consisting of a portion which connects it to a slotted zone or seat on the bar or stop and at least one flexible arm which extends from the connecting portion in a plane parallel with the direction of extension, the flexible arm being separated from the bar or stop by a given distance and including a first section substantially parallel with the bar or stop and a second section connected to the first and extending away from the said first section at an oblique angle to the bar or stop.

Abstract: An improved resilient torsion arrangement. The torsion arrangement is comprised of a wire-like body member having an upper portion formed in a first predetermined open geometrical configuration, a transverse portion extending across the first predetermined open geometrical configuration, and a lower portion having a second predetermined open geometrical configuration. The upper portion and the lower portion are resiliently movable toward, or away from, each other to put the transverse portion into torsion. The torsion in the transverse portion provides the resilient force resisting movement of the upper portion toward the lower portion. Proper selection of the relationships between the upper portion and the lower portion and configuration of the transverse portion can provide predetermined relationships between the force required to move the upper portion toward, and away from, the lower portion and the separation between the upper portion and the lower portion.

Abstract: A resilient furniture seat support is provided with spring assemblies formed of base springs which have upper springs mounted thereon. Each base spring is formed of a length of wire with forward and rear mounting portions which are connectible to the front and rear rails of a seat frame. The upper springs have base portions connected to and supported by the base spring, resilient vertically collapsible midportions, and upper attachment portions adapted for attachment to transverse border wires or crosswires. Two upper springs have their attachment portions connected together. The base spring has a resilient vertically collapsible section, and an attachment portion is located at the upper end of this collapsible section. The upper attachment portion of the base spring is attached to the upper attachment portion of one of the upper springs.

Abstract: A furniture seat base which employs a series of front and/or back torsioned sinuous spring bands. Predetermined patterns of torsioned bands produce an interaction which generate spring dynamics designed to produce a seat unit which may be sat upon from the front, back, sides, or corners with excellent comfort characteristics. The bands are selectively supported adjacent the rails to obviate objectionable "lean-out.
