Abstract: An improved armrest is provided for a reversible seat that is movable between a forward-facing position and a rearward-facing position. The armrest is rotatably mounted to the seat assembly so as to be rotatable downwardly to a fully deployed position or upwardly to a neutral, stowed position. The armrest may project forwardly in a first deployed position or rearwardly in a second deployed position depending upon whether the seat is in the forward-facing or rearward-facing positions. The seat is reversible from the forward-facing position to the rearward-facing position, or vice versa, wherein the armrest automatically returns to the neutral, stowed position as the seat is moved between these positions.

Abstract: A rolling walker comprises a frame, a seat supported by that frame, and a backrest supported by the frame. By one approach the backrest is configured to selectively move between a first position that provides back support for a person sitting in the seat facing in a forward direction and a second position that provides back support for a person sitting in the seat facing in a rearward direction. If desired, this backrest can be comprised of a material (such as a memory foam material) that biases the backrest towards that first position when the backrest is in the first position and that biases the backrest towards the second position when the backrest is in the second position.

Abstract: A bench assembly is provided which includes a seat assembly and at least two backrest assemblies. The back assemblies are rotatable from one side of the seat assembly to an opposite side independently of one another such that persons sitting on the seat assembly can be facing in the same direction or in opposite directions.

Abstract: A latch incorporates a latch member in the form of a leaf spring which is connected by an overcenter operating lever mechanism to a case mounted to a door for latching engagement with a strike mounted to another door or frame member. The strike incorporates guide rails for guiding the latch member into engagement with the strike, and the case includes an upstanding part for receiving a part of a lock with another part of the lock extending through an opening in the lever mechanism.

Abstract: A walk-over seat has a base with a pair of side members and a seat back which may be moved between the front and rear ends of the seat. The seat back is connected to the upper ends of two elongated links on each side of the seat back. Each link has a lower end mounted for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis between frontwardly and rearwardly extending positions. Each link is engaged by a respective latching member when the link is in one of its positions. Structure is provided to transfer to the side members of the seat the load exerted against a latching member by the link when the seat back is impacted or hit from behind, to prevent the latching member from being sprung or bent out of position. The latching member has a special configuration to accommodate differing dispositions and mountings of the latching member and the link it engages.
