| 20090302667 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING A LEG OF A PASSENGER IN A COMMON CARRIER - A system and method for reducing injuries within an aisle entry using a leg arresting device. The leg arresting device includes a leg engaging surface, an arm coupled to the leg engaging surface, and an end member coupled to the arm and connected to an attachment point in front of the user. The end member can be coupled to many locations, including a wall or seat, in front of the user. To prevent injuries, the user simply sets up the leg arresting device by positioning the end member against an attachment point in front of the user. In turn, the user adjusts at least one of the leg engaging surface, arm, and end member of the leg arresting device so that the leg engaging surface is comfortably placed against the user's knee or leg. The leg arresting device can also be used for resting a user's legs or thighs. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100117436 | Adjustable adduction stabilizer - An adjustable adduction stabilizer for use on a wheelchair to support a patient's leg against the leg rest panel of the wheelchair. The stabilizer device is made from a thermoplastic material such as Orthoplast in which holes are formed so that the patient's leg can breathe to prevent skin irritation or bacteria growth. The stabilizer device includes a front curved portion that can be reshaped using a hand held heat gun to fit various sizes of legs. The stabilizer device wraps around the front of the leg to prevent the leg from sliding off of the leg rest panel in both sideways direction. A Velcro strap is sued to secure the stabilizer device to the wheelchair for easy removal and installation. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20110210598 | RESTRAINT SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE - An apparatus and for restraining occupants of a vehicle is disclosed, the apparatus having a rigid member configured to restrain an upper or lower body portion of an individual located in the vehicle. The individual moves within a range of motion that is represented by an area of movement. The rigid member is capable of movement between a stowed position and a deployed position. The upper body portion or the lower body portion is restrained by the rigid member only in the deployed position. A locking mechanism for locking the rigid member in the stowed position and the deployed position is provided. A release mechanism activates the locking mechanism. The release mechanism is located at a predetermined distance from the locking mechanism such that the release mechanism is located outside of the area of movement. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20150108821 | Leg Stabilizing Apparatus - An apparatus including a first member, a second member and a cross member. The first member has an upper end, a lower end, and a non-slip surface along at least a portion of an inner surface of the first member. The second member has an upper end, a lower end, and a non-slip surface along at least a portion of an inner surface of the second member. The cross member extends from the first member to the second member and retains the first member and the second member at a fixed distance relative to one another. | 04-23-2015 |
| 20160023764 | PASSIVE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT FOR SIDE-FACING AIRCRAFT SEATS - In one aspect, a side-facing seat assembly is provided. The seat assembly includes a seat portion, a back portion having an upper surface extending along the width of the back portion, and an arm restraint assembly coupled to the back portion. The arm restraint assembly includes a rotating bar rotatable between a stowed position oriented with the back portion upper surface and a deployed position. In the deployed position the rotating bar extends from the back portion and facilitates restraining an occupant seated in the seat assembly. The seat assembly further includes a leg restraint assembly coupled to the seat portion. The leg restraint assembly includes an extension bar extendable between a stowed position oriented with the seat portion and a deployed position. In the deployed position the extension bar extends from the seat portion and facilitates restraining an occupant seated in the seat assembly. | 01-28-2016 |
| 20160029802 | BODILY CUSHION ASSEMBLY - A bodily cushion assembly for retaining a user's arms and legs within a chair such that said assembly prevents bruising from occurring on the user's arms and legs includes a pad that may be positionable on a chair. The user sits on the pad after the pad is positioned on the chair. A plurality of bolsters is coupled to an outer edge of the pad. The plurality of bolsters retains the user's arms and legs on the pad. | 02-04-2016 |
| 20160046311 | SHOPPING CART CHILD SAFETY RESTRAINT DEVICE - A shopping cart child safety lock system. | 02-18-2016 |
| 20160082866 | METHOD OF FORMING A BARRIER BETWEEN ADJACENT SEATING REGIONS - A method of selectively forming a barrier between adjacent seating regions at which first and second support surfaces are respectively located, with the first and second support surfaces configured to support first and second persons in laterally spaced sitting positions. The method includes the steps of: obtaining a barrier assembly having at least one wall structure that is configured to be selectively changed between: a) a storage state; and b) an operative state; and changing the barrier assembly from the storage state into the operative state wherein an exposed surface of the at least one wall structure is situated to obstruct lateral movement of at least one of: a) an arm; b) a leg; c) a head; or d) a torso of a person in the sitting position in the first region into the second seating region. | 03-24-2016 |
| 20160114750 | PASSENGER RESTRAINT PROVIDING LATERAL LEG CONTAINMENT IN AN AMUSEMENT PARK RIDE VEHICLE - A vehicle for use in an amusement park ride with upright passenger seating. The vehicle includes a vehicle body and a seat assembly including a seat pan provided in the vehicle body between a front end and a rear end of the vehicle body. The vehicle further includes a passenger restraint system with: (a) a lap bar assembly; (b) a lap bar mount pivotally supporting the lap bar assembly within the vehicle body to pivot about a lap bar rotation axis passing between the seat pan and the front end of the vehicle body; (c) a side leg shield; and (d) a shield articulating assembly concurrently pivoting the side leg shield about a shield rotation axis from an open to a closed position with a pivoting of the lap bar assembly about the lap bar rotation axis from a disengage to an engaged position. | 04-28-2016 |
