Abstract: An adaptor is provided for a jack assembly having a lifting jack carrying a horizontal plate for raising and lowering a heavy component supported by the jack assembly. The adaptor includes a horizontal support plate fastened to and vertically offset from the horizontal plate of the jack assembly by a height. A plurality of elongated arms is slidably mounted between the two plates to move in a generally horizontal plane. Each of arms includes a holding assembly configured to engage portions of the component supported on the support plate to stabilize the component as it is raised and lowered by the jack assembly. The arms are supported in the height between the two plates at different heights so that the arms are capable of a wide range of rotational and linear movements to adjust the position of the holding assembly of each arm relative to the heavy component.

Abstract: A folding chair utilizes a gear train to control a folding motion and to achieve a compact closed form. While holding a handle integrated into a backrest, the weight of the chair allows it to open and unfold automatically into an open position. The folding chair locks in place in the open position. To refold the chair, a button is depressed to release the lock and the seat is pulled toward the backrest. The gear train refolds the front and rear legs. In the compact folded position, the lightweight chair can be carried with one hand in a relaxed position, similar to an attache case. The handle is contoured so that it is possible for an adult to carry two chairs back to back in each hand.

Abstract: A foldable highchair includes a chair frame, a seat unit mounted on the chair frame, and a latch unit provided on the chair frame. The chair frame is in a form of a four-link mechanism, and is convertible between upright and collapsed states. The chair frame includes a base, a front leg unit, a coupling link unit, and a rear leg unit. The latch unit is operable to prevent pivoting movement of the front leg unit, the coupling link unit and the rear leg unit relative to the base, thereby locking the chair frame in the upright state. The latch unit is further operable to unlock the chair frame and permit pivoting movement of and collapsing of the front leg unit, the coupling link unit and the rear leg unit together with the seat unit on the base, thereby converting the chair frame to the collapsed state.

Abstract: A collapsible high chair includes a pair of front legs (14) pivotally connected by pivot pins (13) to a pair of backrest holding rods (6) which hold a backrest (3), whereby an upper end portion of each front leg (14) overlaps a lower end portion of the associated backrest holding rod (6). Two rear legs (16) are pivotally connected respectively to the lower ends of the backrest holding rods (6) by pivot pins (15). The backrest holding rods (6) are pivotally connected at their intermediate portions to the rear portion of a seat (2) by pivot pins (5). Two seat support rods (20) are operatively connected between the front portion of the seat (2) and the front legs (14). When the lower ends of the backrest holding rods (6) are moved away from the front legs (14), the backrest holding rods (6), seat (2), front legs (14) and rear legs (16) assume a substantially horizontal state. In this manner, the chair can be folded for reducing its dimension in the direction of its height.

Each pivot assembly may comprise a pivot pin secured to one supporting frame, and pivot cams secured to the other supporting frames together with an interlocking cam positioned between two of said pivot cams.

Abstract: A folding chair is disclosed having a back rest with terminal ends, interconnected pairs of first and second legs, and a seat pivotally connected to the second legs. The chair is adjustable between a folded position with the first and second legs, the seat and the back rest substantially parallel, and an open position with the first and second legs and the back rest angularly disposed relative to each other and with the seat resting on supports carried by the first legs. Hinge mechanisms pivotally connect each terminal end of the back rest with a first leg and a second leg. The hinge mechanisms include releasable locking means for fixing the back rest relative to the legs when the chair is in the open position.

Abstract: A folding chair having two upright sides which can be moved from a spaced apart operative position to a folded position where they are adjacent to one another, the chair also having cross frames between said vertical sides and which can be folded in scissors fashion between chair operative and stored positions. The lower ends of the cross frames are securely anchored in a lower member of the side frames and these lower members are pivotally mounted to the remainder of their side frames. This construction permits the cross frames to pivot with a scissors action and oscillate with the lower member of the side frames, resulting in a sturdy chair with a minimum number of parts for the function obtained.
