Appl. No.:

13/185855

Inventors:

Daniel T. GREEN - Monroe MI, US
Maurice H. DOWDING - Springport MI, US
Susan E. PERRY - Olivet MI, US

Assignee:

SKIP'S PATENTS, LLC - Springport MI

International Classification:

A61G 5/00
A61G 5/14
A47C 7/54
A47C 1/00

US Classification:

280200, 29734412

Abstract:

A stand chair is operated by a pair of screw shaft-type linear actuators which extend upwardly and forwardly from a pair of spaced-apart frame members. One embodiment has a solid seat and another has a split sweat with a drop-away front portion. One or more motors are provided to operate the screw shafts in such a way as to raise the rear seat portion without changing its angular orientation in space. Connector links interconnect the frame with the front seat portion so as to cause it to drop downwardly out from under the thighs of an occupant, while the back seat portion raises upward, thereby assisting the occupant to stand up and exit the chair. Various additional features such as armrests, wheels and a reclining backrest may also be provided.

Assignee:

E/P Technologies - Windsor

International Classification:

C25B 300

US Classification:

205688

Abstract:

An apparatus and method of use for dissociating materials includes a power supply, high energy capacitor, high energy trigger device and an probe and reactor arrangement for treating both solid and medium/media materials. A near instantaneous discharge of the electrical charge stored in the capacitor via the probe can be used to dissociate the material, either medium/media or solid, for a desired result. Hazardous materials can be treated to be rendered non-hazardous, rocks or other solid material can be treated for reduction in size, plant seeds can be treated to enhance plant growth surfaces of granular material can be scored or thermally polished and milk, juices and blood could be treated for sterilization.
