Abstract: A seating module having a recessed grip for a vehicle, in particular an aircraft, and a seating arrangement that includes a seating module that has a recessed grip. The seating module includes a shell structure that defines the recessed grip in an upper area of the shell structure.

Abstract: A vehicle seat that ensures improving appearance. A vehicle seat includes a first cover member to which a terminal of a first skin is stitched and a second cover member to which a terminal of a second skin is stitched. The first cover member and the second cover member are joined together. This ensures reducing a displacement of the first skin and the second skin relative to the first cover member and the second cover member. This ensures reducing the first skin and the second skin being turned up at an outer edge of a flange portion of the first cover member and an end portion of the second cover member on the second skin side. This ensures improving appearance of the vehicle seat.

Abstract: A structure of a seatback handle mounted at a seatback of a seat for the vehicle may include a module unit fixedly mounted at the seatback, the module unit exposing a charger terminal at a first side thereof, and a cover unit spaced from the module unit to be fixed at the seatback, wherein the charger terminal is electrically connected to an electrical device of the vehicle to supply power when the charger terminal is connected to a charging cable, and the cover unit may have a slidable part to cover or expose the charger terminal.

Abstract: An elastomeric plastic material is molded by known methods to provide a formed, sized, shaped and self-contained, generally unitary, protective member for correspondingly shaped and sized unfinished, raw and the like edge of furniture or other devices which require protection or coverage, such that the protective member, because of its elastomeric characteristics, can be fitted or snapped into assembled position about such unprotected or unfinished edge and then easily fixed into assembled position, by conventional stapling using associated spaced flanges thereon, saving costs of material and labor. In the molding, additional modifications can be added such as a hand grip to facilitate movement of the furniture. The plastic protective member can be molded with a central cavity having an opening into which colored and non-colored fillers and/or braided rope can be inserted.

Abstract: A student desk includes a base that supports a seat and a worksurface. The base includes transverse front and rear base members, with a central base member extending therebetween. A worksurface support and a seat support are mounted to and extend upwardly from the base, and the worksurface and seat are mounted to the worksurface and seat supports, respectively, so as to be adjustable in elevation. Casters are mounted to the front and rear transverse base members to facilitate movement of the desk on a support surface such as a floor. Certain of the casters may be constructed so as to lock in position when the desk is occupied. The seat includes a handle area, so that the desk can be quickly and easily repositioned in a classroom with minimal effort.

Abstract: A seat including a hand grip and a seat back assembly. The seat back assembly has a rigid frame and a trim cover for covering at least a portion of the frame. The hand grip includes an outer surface, an inner surface, a grip area, a flange and a tab. The inner surface is opposite the outer surface. The grip area is defined in the outer surface and is adapted to accommodate a hand of a person. The flange bounds the grip area for concealing a portion or the trim cover during assembly of the hand grip to the seat. The tab extends outwardly from the inner surface of the grip. A distal end of the tab is generally parallel and spaced apart with the inner surface of the hand grip for receiving the frame therebetween.

Abstract: A dorsal support for supporting a passenger in a generally upright standing position while travelling in a public transportation vehicle is disclosed. The dorsal support comprises a body having a front surface extending uninterrupted upwardly from a base portion fastened to a floor surface, the front surface of the body including a planar lower portion preventing access behind the dorsal support from in front thereof and an upper portion which is integral with the lower portion and extends upwardly therefrom. The upper portion is rearwardly inclined and defines a passenger receiving area thereon for supporting at least a portion of the passenger's back such as to support the passenger in a generally upright standing position when leaning against the dorsal support.

Abstract: A chair including a backrest and a chair seat is disclosed. The back rest and the chair seat are preferably constructed from blow-molded plastic and an opening or hole may be disposed through a portion of the chair. The opening is preferably formed in the backrest and the opening may extend completely through the backrest. Advantageously, the opening may form at least a portion of a handle and the opening may be formed during the blow-molding process. The chair may also include a frame and one or more legs that support the chair seat and backrest above a surface such as the floor or ground. In addition, the chair may include a first groove formed in the lower portion of the chair seat and a second groove formed in the lower portion of the chair seat, and a first crossbar may be at least partially disposed within the first groove and a second crossbar may be at least partially disposed within the second groove.

Abstract: A seat including a hand grip and a seat back assembly. The seat back assembly has a rigid frame and a trim cover for covering at least a portion of the frame. The hand grip includes an outer surface, an inner surface, a grip area, a flange and a tab. The inner surface is opposite the outer surface. The grip area is defined in the outer surface and is adapted to accommodate a hand of a person. The flange bounds the grip area for concealing a portion or the trim cover during assembly of the hand grip to the seat. The tab extends outwardly from the inner surface of the grip. A distal end of the tab is generally parallel and spaced apart with the inner surface of the hand grip for receiving the frame therebetween.

Abstract: A distance adjustment device for a chair includes a guide rail, a movable plate slidably mounted on the guide rail, a movable handle pivotally mounted on the movable plate and having a first end detachably engaged with the guide rail, and a fixed handle secured on the movable plate and located opposite to a second end of the movable handle. Thus, the user only needs to hold the push portion of the movable handle and the grip portion of the fixed handle by his one hand to unlock and move the movable plate, so that the distance adjustment device is operated by the user's one hand.

Abstract: The support and restraint structure is a tubular frame (1) generally oval in shape having two branches (2) and (3), the extremities of which are interconnected at two rounded corners (4) and (5) and having one or two cross-bars and elements (13), (14) and (15) attaching it to its support: the side (8) of a seat (9), a wall, a vertical vehicle structure on the body, or the like, maintaining it at a distance from and in a lateral position relative to the support so it can provide an effective gripping and balance means for standing passengers of any height without causing any significant interference. This invention is of interest to builders of equipment and accessories for public transportation vehicles.

Abstract: A furniture construction includes a frame structure made up of a pair of spaced frame sections connected together, and a furniture component mounted to the frame structure. Each frame section includes a lower base section, an upright, and a furniture component support member extending from the upright and to which the furniture component is mounted. The frame sections are preferably C-shaped when viewed from the side. In one form, the furniture component is a seat mounted to the furniture component support, and the frame structure includes a back support area extending upwardly from the seat. A back is mounted to the back support area. In another form, the furniture component is a desk or table top mounted to the furniture component support. Combination desk/chair units may also be constructed utilizing the same basic frame structure.
