<title><![CDATA[Eccentric swivel mechanism for a vehicle seat]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7364234.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[A swivel mechanism for a vehicle seat includes a base plate configured to be fixed relative to the vehicle and to provide support to the vehicle seat. The vehicle seat is mounted to a seat mounting plate having a first side configured to receive the vehicle seat and a second side opposite the first side, mechanically coupled to the base plate. The seat mounting plate and the base plate are mechanically coupled so that when the seat mounting plate is rotated about an axis of the base plate the seat mounting plate translates in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the base plate. A locking recess is formed in one of the base plate or the seat mounting plate, and is adapted to receive a locking pawl pivotably mounted to the opposite one of the base plate or the seat mounting plate. The locking recess is biased toward the locking recess such that when the locking pawl and locking recess are engaged, the seat mounting plate is inhibited from movement relative to the base plate.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Sucker with an annular projection on adhesion surface and adhesion arrow having the sucker]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7364521.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[The present invention relates to a sucker and an adhesion arrow having the same. More particularly, the present invention provides a sucker that can be attached, instead of a needle, to an arrow for a toy arrow shooter. The sucker of the present invention is formed with an annular projection on an adhesion surface of the sucker. Thus, even when the sucker collides against a target at a high speed, the sucker can be prevented from bouncing back from the target due to a repulsive force generated from the collision and thus securely adhere to the target. Further, even though the sucker of the present invention flies and collides against the target at a certain angle, the sucker can easily adhere to the target. Further, the sucker is made of a soft material so that a repulsive force can be smaller than an adhesion force when the sucker collides against the target. When a user shoots the adhesion arrow of the present invention by blowing it received in a shooting tool, the sucker is not caught by an inner circumferential surface of the tubular shooting tool so that the adhesion arrow of the present invention can be easily shot.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Fall arrest safety anchorage device]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7364016.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[A fall arrest safety anchorage device, which can be mounted to a wide variety of rigid planar substrates by utilizing fasteners which pass through apertures in a mounting plate and into a substrate. Angularly extending from the mounting plate is a first positioning member, which projects away from the mounting area to a predetermined position where a second positioning member is attached. The second positioning member angularly extends from the first positioning member to another predetermined position where a safety equipment receiver is attached. Utilizing angles of varying degree at the points of attachment of the positioning members and varying the lengths of the positioning members, the safety equipment receiver can be positioned virtually anywhere. Most important, the safety equipment receiver can be positioned at a desired location away from the initial mounting area for the securing of fall arrest safety equipment, thus providing clearance for the installation of construction materials and allowing workers to perform work safely at heights greater than six feet. Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations stipulate that whenever a potential for a fall at a height of six feet or more exists, fall protection must be utilized for the safety of workers.]]></description>

<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7365971.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[A mounting mechanism includes a computer chassis ( 20 ), a bracket ( 30 ) defining a pair of slideways ( 341, 342 ) in a sidewall ( 34 ) thereof for receiving corresponding sliding members ( 12 ) of a storage device ( 10 ), a power supply ( 50 ) rotatably attached in the computer chassis, and a fastening piece ( 40 ) attached to the sidewall of the bracket. The fastening piece has a tilted portion ( 42 ), and a blocking portion ( 44 ). When the power supply is rotated inwardly, a retention member ( 56 ) of the power supply presses the tilted portion toward the sidewall, so that the blocking portion blocks the sliding member of the storage device in a corresponding slideway of the bracket. The storage device is thus secured in the bracket.]]></description>
