摘要:
A mechanical uplift apparatus comprising a structural frame unit, a mechanical uplift assembly unit, and a power translating mechanism connecting the two units to allow the user to more easily obtain a standing position from a previously seated position. A second use for the apparatus may be as an exercise product for exercising upper body muscle groups. The structural frame unit is used to support and guide the mechanical uplift assembly unit. The mechanical uplift assembly unit has two sections that can independently move vertically with respect to the structural frame unit. One section has a seat, the other has rails or hand engagement handles. When downward force is applied to the hand engagement handles, the section having the handles move vertically downward and produces an upward force in the section having the seat through the power translating mechanism. This interface allows the user to more easily uplift themselves from a seated position and is especially useful for older and/or medically disabled persons. Having the downward movement of the seat produce upward movement of the hand engagement handles allows the device to be utilized as an exercise product.

A foot operated rotational assembly is provided which a user operates while in a standing position. The apparatus includes a rotational assembly mounted on a frame structure. The rotational assembly includes a plurality of rotatable members connected together by an intermediate rotatable member. Cranks are attached to and extend from each side of the rotatable members. A pedal is located on each side which bridges the cranks on that side. The cranks are arranged so that the pedals are opposingly positioned and travel their path of rotation while remaining in a horizontal position.

A molded piston for a shock absorber is formed as a cylindrical member having a central, axial opening for receiving a piston rod. A plurality of unrestricted axial openings are provided in the piston radially outbound of the central opening and aligned substantially parallel to the axis of the piston to serve as primary flow passages. A plurality of axial grooves are provided on the circumference of the piston to serve as secondary flow passages. A flexible, circumferential valving ring is integrally molded at one end of the piston for permitting only one-way flow of fluid through the secondary flow passages as the piston reciprocates in an inner cylinder.

A viscous fan clutch employing flat wipers with angled edges secured on the inner annular periphery of the clutch body which scavage viscous fluid from the space between the inner diameter of the main body and the outer diameter of the clutch plate which controls the rate of discharge of pumping slots formed on the inside diameter of the body to optimize fluid flow from the working cavity to the storage cavity by way of a discrete intermediate cavity to reduce horsepower requirement when a low output speed during disengaged mode is desired or a faster rate of disengagement is required.

A viscous fan clutch which employs a dynamic blocker ring positioned inside of the clutch between the pump plate and the clutch plate in such a manner that the fluid flow path is directed and not left to chance. The blocker ring, in effect, hydraulically separates the drive portion of the clutch from the pump and viscous fluid storage portion. The divider ring due to its location will provide support outboard of the bearing providing optimized durability.

A material handling apparatus is provided which enables an operator to load, transport, and unload material, while the apparatus may be moving in the forward and backward directions. The apparatus includes a frame structure means, a material handling means, and a power transfer means, with the material handling means and the power transfer means being mounted on the frame structure means. The material handling means is a conventional type of load bucket, commonly found on construction equipment. It is pivotally mounted to the rear of the frame structure means, and is capable of pivoting in both the forward and backward directions via the power transfer means. An optional item may include an attachment component for attaching the apparatus to a piece of construction equipment or farm equipment, such as a tractor. The apparatus may also be part of a motorized vehicle, in which case the attachment component is not required. The apparatus may also have a wheel assembly mounted on the frame structure means, which would reduce the load felt by the lift of a tractor. The wheel assembly may also be used to change the ratio of the lift travel distance to the bucket travel distance, when the apparatus is connected to the lift of a tractor.

A twisting exercise apparatus is provided which enables the user to exercise both upper and lower body muscle groups. The apparatus includes a frame means, with a hand engagement means, a seat support means, and a power transfer means are all pivotally mounted to the frame means. The user may alternately push and pull backward and forward upon two handle members of the hand engagement means. This motion is transferred by a power transfer means into twisting or pivoting motion of a seat of the seat support means. Also, pivoting movement of the seat will produce alternating backward and forward movement of the handle members. Optional items include a back support means, inner and outer thigh engagement means, and a resistance means.

A user-operated seat uplift apparatus including a structural frame unit and a mechanical uplift assembly unit, thereby allowing the user to more easily obtain a standing position from a previous seated position. The structure frame unit is used to support and guide the mechanical uplift assembly unit. The uplift unit consists basically of a seat member, two rail members, one disposed on each side of the seat member, and an interconnection means. The user presses downward upon the rail members, which move in a downward direction. This downward movement produces an upward movement in the seat member. And likewise, downward movement of the seat member results in upward motion of the rail members. This interface allows the user to more easily uplift themselves from a seated position and should prove especially useful for older and medically disabled persons.

An exercise apparatus including a tensioned closed looped belt driven by a manually operated force-transmitting member which grips the belt between a cylinder and a support rod in one direction of movement and releases the belt in the opposite direction of movement. The exercise apparatus includes a frame unit, a belt assembly unit and user engagement members, the frame unit being collapsible into a compact unit for storage. The frame unit supports a seat with an adjustable back whereby, through the user engagement members, upper and lower body exercises may be practiced while the user remains seated. A basket may be provided for storage of user engagement members and other elements as desired.
