Universal air handler unit
11073292 · 2021-07-27 ·

A universal air handler unit includes a blower and evaporator juxtaposed one another within a compact, weather resistant cabinet adapted for outdoor installation. Ports for cool and return air ducts disposed on one side of the cabinet couple directly to the blower and evaporator respectively. Return air drawn by the blower into the cabinet passes across the evaporator core, then through the blower and back out through the adjacent cool air duct. Coolant lines couple to a stand-alone condenser/compressor unit. In a particular embodiment, an adapter enables stacking the condenser/compressor unit atop the cabinet to reduce the overall footprint of the combination. In another embodiment, a manifold adapted to couple to the cool and return air ducts may be installed in various locations, the air handler unit slideably coupling to the manifold during installation, and easily decoupling and reecoupling for transportation and maintenance.

SEAT ASSEMBLY HAVING CUSHION SUPPORTS WITH INTEGRATED AIR BLADDERS FOR PNEUMATIC ACTIVATION

A seat assembly includes a cushioned component having a lattice matrix, wherein the lattice matrix includes a first portion defined by a first pattern of interconnected links which defines a first set of cells, and a second portion defined by a second pattern of interconnected links which defines a second set of cells. The first portion of the lattice matrix includes a density profile that is different than a density profile of the second portion of the lattice matrix. An air bladder is disposed within a core portion of the lattice matrix and includes a non-porous outer casing surrounding an interior cavity. The outer casing of the air bladder and the lattice matrix are integrated components comprised of a common material to define a monolithic structure created using an additive manufacturing process.

FLOTATION DEVICE IN THE FORM OF A VEHICLE
20210219733 · 2021-07-22 ·

A flotation device is described that provides a means for relaxation and enjoyment when used in a pool, lake, or other body of water. The flotation device is inflatable and includes a body configured in the form of a vehicle having a front side, a back side, a right side, and a left side. The flotation device further includes a seating area within an interior of the body of the flotation device, two side view mirrors, and a windshield frame. The body of the flotation device is configured to resemble a convertible version of a muscle car including doors, tires, and accompanying logos and details associated with a muscle car. The convertible version of the muscle car further includes a convertible roof that is folded and in an open position as displayed on the flotation device.

Chair with variable positioning and support
11039690 · 2021-06-22 · ·

An adjustable chair frame with a back and seating surfaces that flex to conform to the shape, weight and movement of an occupant is disclosed. The chair form and proportions provide for a recumbent position that disperses the weight of the occupant more evenly, thereby reducing external and internal physiological point loading. The form also provides ergonomic articulation to minimize internal physiological stresses such as neck/back vertebral compression. Eccentric connections driven by a motor assembly allow positioning adjustment of the components of the chair. Additionally, an air pump assembly may be included to automatically adjust one or more air bladders provided on the interior of the chair frame.
