Abstract:
A mounting bracket assembly includes a clamping arrangement mounted for vertical movement on a mounting structure and is movable between an engaged position and disengaged position relative to a self-contained breathing apparatus held in the mounting bracket assembly. A camming arrangement is located between the clamping arrangement and the mounting structure for permitting and preventing vertical movement of the clamping arrangement relative to the mounting structure. A powered latching mechanism is engageable with a portion of the clamping arrangement for providing unlatched and latched positions. A control arrangement separate from the powered latching mechanism is operatively connected thereto to selectively control the powered latching mechanism and effect release of the self-contained breathing apparatus from the latched position when the vehicle is in a stationary and parked condition.
Abstract:
A jockey seat assembly is adapted to be used on a motorized vehicle and includes a saddle seat having a substantially inverted U-shaped configuration. A height adjusting mechanism is provided for the seat and has an upper frame mounted beneath the saddle seat, a lower frame adapted to be secured to a bottom surface of the vehicle and a collapsible lever assembly interconnected between the upper and lower frames. A biasing arrangement is secured between outermost ends of the lever assembly in the upper frame and the lower frame for urging the upper frame and the seat away from the lower frame. A pair of adjustment plates are fixed externally to the lever assembly and provided with a series of slots defining a number of vertical height adjusting positions. An actuator extends forwardly of the seat and the upper frame and is pivotally connected to the upper frame. The actuator has a pair of links normally biased into engagement with the slots for normally establishing a desired vertical height adjustment for the seat relative to the lower frame upon pivotal movement of the actuator. The jockey seat assembly may optionally include a pair of adjustable leg supports, a pair of handlebars and a backrest for further support.
Abstract:
A mounting bracket assembly is provided for releasably holding a self-contained breathing apparatus. The assembly includes a mounting plate, a clamping arrangement secured on an upper portion of the mounting plate and movable between an unlatched position and a latched position relative to the self-contained breathing apparatus, a guide connected on an intermediate portion of the mounting plate and a support structure mounted on a lower portion of the mounting plate. The clamping arrangement includes a pivot arm having an actuator plate biased forwardly of the mounting plate in the unlatched position, and a self-contained breathing apparatus engaging clamp swung upwardly above the mounting plate in the unlatched position. The clamping arrangement further includes a latching mechanism engageable and disengageable with the pivot arm for providing latched and unlatched positions. Movement of the self-contained breathing apparatus against the actuator plate automatically swings and locks the clamp downwardly on an upper end of the self-contained breathing apparatus, and causes the pivot arm to engage the latching mechanism in the latched position with the guide centering and retaining an intermediate portion of the self-contained breathing apparatus and the support structure supporting a lower portion of the self-contained breathing apparatus.

Abstract:
A low profile seat suspension includes a bottom frame adapted to be mounted on a vehicle, and a top frame located above the bottom frame for supporting a seat cushion and seat back thereon. A substantially fully collapsible scissors linkage is interconnected between the bottom frame and the top frame enabling the bottom frame and the top frame to move relative to each other substantially in parallel. A biasing arrangement is disposed between the top frame and the bottom frame and has a preload force urging the top frame away from the bottom frame. A first adjustment mechanism is located in the top frame and selectively enables fore and aft adjustment of the top frame relative to the bottom frame. A second adjustment mechanism is located between the bottom frame and the top frame and selectively enables an adjustment on the biasing arrangement in accordance with the weight of an occupant in the seat by translating a horizontal force applied to an adjustment plate into a vertical force effecting the preload force of the biasing arrangement. The invention is improved wherein an adjustment knob is positioned at a front of the seat and the knob is enabled to move along with the top frame irregardless of the fore and aft adjustment of the top frame relative to the bottom frame.

Abstract:
An emergency conveyance seat comprises a base and a back extending upwardly from the base. The back has a pair of elongated side pads, each of which has an upper end and a lower end. The back further has a head pad located adjacent the upper ends of the side pads. The side pads define a vertically elongated cavity in the back and an enclosure is connected to the side pads for enclosing the rear of the cavity. The cavity is adapted to receive a removable cylinder of a self-contained breathing apparatus. Each of the side pads is formed with a recessed area between the upper and lower ends and is adapted to receive a portion of the cylinder. A pair of removable side cushions is provided, each of the side pads being adapted to be disposed in one of the recessed areas when the cylinder is removed from the cavity.

Abstract:
A seat assembly includes a seat and a pedestal connected to the seat. A height adjustment mechanism is positioned between the seat and the pedestal for selectively changing height of the seat relative to the pedestal. A footrest is mounted on the pedestal for sliding vertical movement thereon and for pivotal movement between a stored position and a foot-supporting use position. A floor slide is adapted to be connected to a support surface and configured to slidably and pivotally receive the pedestal so as to enable selective fore and aft movement and swivel movement of the seat relative to the floor slide.
