A ride surface for water ride attractions and the like is provided. The ride surface is fabricated from a reinforced membrane material tensioned over a supporting framework. The tensioned membrane ride surface serves the dual role of providing structural support for water flow and riders thereon while at the same time providing an impact safe surface that is non-injurious to riders who may fall thereon. The tensioned membrane can be adjusted actively and/or passively in order to accommodate different and varied ride experiences. Optionally, the shape of the membrane ride surface can be changed either dynamically or passively by special tensioning techniques and/or by using auxiliary support structures such as air bladders, pressure/suction, foam supports or/or the like.

Vehicle seat comprising a backrest and a seat part, a lower part of the backrest having a support frame and an intermediate frame which are pivotally mounted about a first axis on the seat part. The intermediate frame is linked to the seat part by an inclination-adjusting mechanism and to the support frame by a locking device. The support frame bears a top part of the backrest, which can be folded down into a flat position and which is linked to a mechanical coupling device designed to release the support frame when the top part of the backrest is in its flat position.

A display rack having a support frame and at least one tray for holding and displaying product. Each tray attaches at its rear to the support frame by way of at least one moveable suspension arm and at least two possible tray-to-frame buttress points (or stops) for every suspension arm. The at least two tray-to-frame buttress points act together as a dual-position stop, which dual-position stop is capable of maintaining the tray in two different orientations with respect to the support frame. In a preferred embodiment, each tray has two L-shaped, pivoting suspension arms, where a portion of each suspension arm is horizontal and passes through a receiving channel in the support frame.

Person support apparatuses with selectively coupled foot sections are disclosed. In one embodiment, the person support apparatus includes a base frame, a primary support frame supported on the base frame, and a foot section coupled to the primary support frame. The person support apparatus also includes a carriage that is freely translatable between a head end of the primary support frame and a foot end of the primary support frame, the carriage comprising a torso portion and a seat portion having a thigh segment and a gluteal segment. The person support apparatus further includes a selectable trunnion that selectively and severally couples the foot section to the primary support frame and the thigh segment of the seat portion.

A supporting frame comprises four transversal supporting tubes, each of the transversal supporting tubes having two hollow ends; each two adjacent inner faces of each transversal supporting tube being formed with a screw hole; four longitudinal supporting tubes, each upper end of the longitudinal supporting tubes being a hollow end; moreover, each two adjacent inner faces of each longitudinal supporting tube being formed with respective screw holes; and a plurality of three-way internal connecting units; each three-way internal connecting unit having three inserting ends; each inserting end of the three-way internal connecting unit can be inserted into the hollow ends of the transversal supporting tube and the longitudinal supporting tube; thus by the longitudinal supporting tubes, the four transversal supporting tubes can be assembled as a rectangular upper frame and the four longitudinal supporting tubes being assembled as legs of the upper frame.

A refrigerator includes a multiple slide crisper system. More specifically, a universal crisper pan and support frame for a refrigerator can be used with various, distinct glide arrangements, including friction, roller or ball bearing glides. For frictional sliding movement, crisper pan side walls slide directly upon molded inner rails on the frame. With the roller system, various rollers are fitted to a rear portion of the crisper pan through the use of pins, while commensurate rollers are mounted at front portions of the frame. When using ball bearing glides for a precision slide support, the glides are preferably mounted to the support frame at an acute angle to the axis of travel of the friction and roller glide systems.

A baby stroller frame with a seat direction changing mechanism comprising a wheeled support frame, a seat support, a handle bar and a releasing mechanism. The wheeled support frame comprises a front leg, a rear leg and wheel sets. The upper portion of the wheeled support frame has a axle hole for pivotally connecting the seat support and allows the seat support rotatably to change its direction. The angle positioning of the seat support is lockable and releaseable by driving a locking member in a locking position. The releasing mechanism is slidably mounted on the handle bar, and shall concomitantly pulls locking member while the handle bar is rotated by a user. While the locking member is pulled to leave the locking position, the seat support will be free to rotate and change its direction.

A foldable chair assembly includes a support frame, a first support leg having an upper portion pivotally mounted on a bottom of the support frame, a second support leg having an upper portion pivotally mounted on the bottom of the support frame, and two opposite resting members each pivotally mounted between a mediate portion of the first support leg and a mediate portion of the second support leg. Thus, the foldable chair assembly is folded and expanded easily and conveniently, thereby facilitating the user operating the foldable chair assembly.

An exercising system has a frame defining a space in which a user is positioned for performing a large number of different exercises. Frame members have holes within which flexible bars are positioned, spanning across the machine, for low-impact exercising using the bars. In a preferred embodiment the bar-supporting frame members, or some of them, are adjustable in position so as to provide a nearly unlimited number of positions for different users and for different exercises. A few of the many exercises facilitated by the system are described.
