VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING DEVICE
According to the present teachings a system is provided having a landscape engine configured to take digital input and convert it into three dimensional at virtual reality dataset. The landscape engine is functionally coupled to a physics engine configured to physical rules to objects within the virtual reality dataset. A display engine is coupled to the physics engine to convert the dataset into first and second content streams.
Seat With Privacy Screen
A seat (10) comprises a frame (12), a backrest (14) fixed relative to the frame (12), a movable seat squab (16) and a movable screen (18), the screen (18) being movable between a lowered position and a raised position for providing privacy to a person sitting on the seat (10), in which downward motion of the movable seat squab (16) causes upward motion of the movable screen (18) from the lowered position to the raised position.
Locker Seat Assembly
A locker includes a pair of spaced-apart upstanding sidewalls having a pair of front edges. A generally horizontal seat extends between and at least partially forward of the front edges of the sidewalls. A lower seatback is connected at a lower extent by a hinge between the sidewalls and extending above the seat, the lower seatback is movable about the hinge between an open position and a closed position. An upper seatback is connected at an upper extent by a hinge between the sidewalls and above the lower seatback, the upper seatback being movable about the hinge between an open and a closed position.
Submergible Stool
A submergible stool includes a body having a top, a bottom spaced from the top, and a sidewall extending between the top and the bottom and defining an enclosed interior cavity extending between the top, the bottom, and the sidewall. A first aperture is formed in the sidewall proximate the bottom and extends from the enclosed interior cavity to an exterior of the stool. A second aperture is formed in the sidewall proximate the top and extends from the enclosed interior cavity to an exterior of the stool. The apertures are positioned such that when the stool is placed in a body of water, water will flow into the interior cavity through the first aperture, air will be forced out of the second aperture, and the stool will sink to a bottom of the body of water in an upright position.
Detachable swivel seat
A detachable seat includes an elongate support bar including a first bracket and a second bracket each positioned adjacent opposing ends of the elongate support bar, a seat support frame including a first support member and a second support member affixed to the first support member, a hinge pivotally connecting the first support member to the elongate support bar, a seat mounted on the second support member, the seat support frame and the seat pivoting around the elongate support bar upon pivotal movement of the first support member, and a retaining arm affixed to and extending from the elongate support bar adjacent the first bracket, the retaining arm including a plurality of alignment apertures formed along a length thereof.
Cushion
An apparatus for improving blood flow in a user's leg and improving posture is disclosed herein. The apparatus is a portable seating cushion that a user may sit upon, which improves blood flow by reducing point-pressure that may otherwise be applied to nerves and blood vessels in a user's leg, including the sciatic nerve. Moreover, the portable seating cushion improves posture by creating a forward pelvic tilt, which causes the rest of the user's shoulders, spine, back, and neck to come into alignment when the user sits on the cushion.
Meditation seat
A specially designed seat assembly allows a user to sit in lotus style meditation position while meditating. The seat assembly positions and elevates the user in order to provide comfort while holding the user in the correct position. The seat assembly can provide dual level support through an upper platform and lower platform. The seat assembly is specially shaped in order to conform to the contours of the user. The knees are elevated by the upper platform, and the feet and ankles are drawn inward and supported from the ground by the lower platform. The user is held in a traditional lotus style seating position. The seat assembly allows for the user to remain in a relaxed state, free from discomfort. The seat assembly is supported by a metal skeleton, which prevents the seat assembly from becoming deformed upon repeated use. The seat assembly has a cushion formed around the metal skeleton, which is stable, yet comfortable for the user.
ADJUSTABLE LIFT CHAIR FRAME
A lift chair frame is disclosed having an adjustable seat including a front support bar assembly including a left member and a right member connected to the left member, a rear support bar assembly opposite the front support bar assembly along a longitudinal direction, a left support bar connected to the front and rear support bar assemblies, and a right support bar opposite the left support bar along a lateral direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and connected to the front and rear support bar assemblies. The lift chair frame also includes an adjustable back coupled to the adjustable seat, where each of the left and right members includes a plurality of alignment features positioned in predetermined locations that correspond to predetermined adjustable seat widths, such that during assembly one of the predetermined adjustable seat widths can be achieved by 1) aligning one of the alignment features of the left member with one of the alignment features of the right member, and 2) securing the left member to the right member.
SEAT SUPPORT MECHANISM OF DRIVING SIMULATOR FOR FOUR-WHEELED AUTOMOBILE
A seat support mechanism of a driving simulator for a four-wheeled automobile includes a lower frame (2) that is supported on a base (1) at one front point by a universal joint (6) and at two back points by cylinder actuators (5). The seat support mechanism further includes an upper frame (3) that is supported on the lower frame at one front point by a universal joint (8) and at two back points by cylinder actuators (7). The one front point and the two back points are arranged so as to form a substantially isosceles triangle that has the one front point as the apex, and a seat is mounted on and fixed to the upper frame.
Pedicure chairs and pumps for use with pedicure chairs and related methods
A jet pump associated with a heat source, such as a heating element or heating coils, is disclosed. The heating element is located in a housing chamber and coaxially with an impeller. An electrical motor rotates the impeller and circulates water within the chamber and between coils of the heating element. The heated water is then discharged into a basin found in a pedicure chair or other devices requiring agitated, heated water.
