Bottom Actuator For Rest Patents (Class 297/87)
  • Patent number: 10588798
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing seat lifting. In various embodiments, a seat lifter might include one or more first pistons, one or more second pistons, and a seat portion. The one or more first pistons, when actuated (e.g., in response to user input), might cause a rear portion of the seat portion to lift relative to a front portion of the seat portion, the rear portion of the seat portion being lifted by a first height above a seat to which the seat lifter is affixed. The one or more second pistons, when actuated, might cause the front portion of the seat portion to lift by a second height above the seat, the second height being less than the first height. In some instances, the first pistons and the second pistons might be actuated serially (in either order), or might be actuated concurrently.
