Abstract: The chair provided comprises three platforms or rounds that are separated by two ball bearing filled turntables. The top platform is a seat, and the bottom platform shall be furnished with a sturdy base or legs to elevate the chair off the floor. From the center or middle platform projects outward and upward an arm which is capable of holding a small appliance, such as a mirror. To this center platform should also be fixed a knob or handle. Thus, the chair provided allows the user to sit first in the chair with the appliance positioned behind the user and then to use the handle or knob to make the appliance rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise around the user. Additionally, the seat rotates freely from the appliance. In this invention both seat and appliance can rotate freely until a useful position is found. This chair is particularly useful when placed in front of another mirror and allowing the user a 360 degree view of themselves.

Abstract: A device is described for observing an infant in a rear facing safety seat located in the rear seat of a motor vehicle. A rear seat mirror has a front reflecting surface and a back surface. A mirror positioning structure is connected to the back surface by a v-shaped arrangement of support surfaces. A mirror attachment assembly includes at least one strap having a secured end connected to at least one of the back surface and the mirror positioning structure, and a free end having a fastener capable of connecting to a tether anchor associated with the rear seat.

Abstract: A toy that is easily convertible between a toy lounge chair and a toy vanity for a doll. The toy has a main body with a base and a pair of sides with a number of movable sections secured to the base. The main body has two faces, one of which forms portions of the lounge chair and the other of which forms portions of the vanity. A separate leg assembly is selectively moved to act as a support for the lounge chair or the vanity. The movable sections are rotatable so as to reveal face portions that form a mirror and a box-like compartment or drawer of the vanity, or a seat back, seating base and a single or two piece leg rest for the lounge chair. The leg assembly may be hingedly attached to or be formed separate from the main body.

Abstract: An assembly for observing an infant in a rear facing child safety seat located on a rear seat of a motor vehicle which includes a mirror and a mirror support arm. The mirror support arm includes a base or lower portion that is configured to be coupled to a child seat or otherwise held in position thereby. An upper portion of the mirror support arm includes a portion that is configured to secure the mirror thereto in an adjustable manner, so that the mirror can be aligned to provide a person sitting in a front seat of the motor vehicle with a line of sight to the infant which line of sight that is directed off the mirror and a rear view mirror that is provided in the front portion of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of co-injection molding. The method includes mixing a plastic inner material and an endothermic-blowing agent to form a core mixture. A plastic outer material is injected from a first injection unit into a co-injection manifold to create a flow of outer material therethrough. The core mixture is injected from a second injection unit into the co-injection manifold to create a flow of core mixture therethrough. The flow of the outer material and the flow of the core mixture are then controlled through the co-injection manifold and into a mold cavity. The core mixture expands as heat is provided for the endothermic-blowing agent to absorb.

Abstract: An infant carrier is shown that can be used as a rearwardly facing infant car seat either by itself or attached to a separate base support, as a stroller seat, or as a carrier for an infant with an adjustable handle attached between longitudinally opposed ends of the carrier. The separate base support can be belted into a vehicle seat and left in place after the infant carrier is removed. The base support has a vertical portion that rests parallel to the back seat of the vehicle and includes a mirror mounted high enough on the back portion to be visible from the vehicle's rear view mirror when the infant carrier is mounted in the base support. The infant carrier has a handle that can be reciprocated in the axial direction of the carrier to actuate two separate attachment mechanisms for attaching the infant carrier to the base support or to a stroller.

Abstract: Provided is a chair comprising: a support platform; a central support column attached to the support platform and orthogonal thereto; a reciprocating gear integral to the support column, the gear having coupled thereto a first axle extending upwards and a second axle extending downwards; an arm attached to the second axle; and a seat attached to the first axle, wherein when the first axle is rotated about its central axis in one direction the gear reciprocates that motion so that the second axle rotates about its central axis in the reverse direction. Generally, an appliance such as a mirror will be attached to the arm, thereby providing a chair that allows a user to sit first in the chair with the appliance positioned behind the user and then rotate the seat of the chair while the appliance counter-rotates until it is in a useful position towards the front of the user.

Abstract: A chair construction in which a rotating seat causes coordinated counterrotation of a mirror secured to an arm extending upwardly from a generally horizontally disposed beam underneath the seat. The chair construction includes a stationary center post protruding through the beam causing the beam to rotate about the center post. Linkage means couple the rotatably mounted mirror arm to the stationary center post of the chair to cause the face of the mirror during rotation of the seat to assume a positon substantially tangential to a circle having its center forward of the center of rotation to the seat. A skirt mounted to the beam rotates with the beam and covers the rotating mechanism.

Abstract: A chair construction in which a rotating seat causes counter rotation of a mirror secured to an arm extending upwardly from underneath the seat. Cam means disposed in the rotating mechanism of the seat retain the face of the mirror during rotation of the seat tangential to a circle having its center forward of the center of rotation of the seat. The angular adjustment of the mirror face is transmitted from the cam means and a flexible shaft to a rotatably mounted post, forming a part of the upstanding arm, to which the mirror is secured.
