Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
A rocker and swivel device adapted for use in a seat assembly comprising a seat, a base, and a rocker and swivel device providing for rocking and swivelling of the seat relative to the base; comprising: first mounting means adapted for securance to the underside of the seat to support the latter, second mounting means adapted for mounting on the base, a pad support, a resilient pad mounted on the support, means clamping together the support and the first mounting means adapted to apply a compressive force to the resilient pad, the first mounting means being rockable with respect to the support with deformation of the resilient pad, opposed side walls on the support preventing sideways rocking of the first mounting means and the seat, the top edge of each side wall being shaped to facilitate forward and rearward rocking of the first mounting means on the side walls, and swivel means providing swivelling of the seat with respect to the base.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
162 words
A rocker and swivel device adapted for use in a seat assembly comprising a seat, a base, and a rocker and swivel device providing for rocking and swivelling of the seat relative to the base; comprising: first mounting means adapted for securance to the underside of the seat to support the latter, second mounting means adapted for mounting on the base, a pad support, a resilient pad mounted on the support, means clamping together the support and the first mounting means adapted to apply a compressive force to the resilient pad, the first mounting means being rockable with respect to the support with deformation of the resilient pad, opposed side walls on the support preventing sideways rocking of the first mounting means and the seat, the top edge of each side wall being shaped to facilitate forward and rearward rocking of the first mounting means on the side walls, and swivel means providing swivelling of the seat with respect to the base.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A rocker and swivel device according to claim 1, the support having opposite marginal edges between said side walls, each said marginal edge being bevelled and the resilient pad overlying said bevels to facilitate rocking.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
81 words
A rocker and swivel device according to claim 1 including first and second mounting plates defining respectively said first and second mounting means, the swivel means being a shaft mounted on the second mounting plate and extending through the resilient pad and the first mounting plate, an end portion of said shaft having a screw thread, and a nut engaged with said end portion so as to clamp together the two mounting plates and apply compressive force to the resilient pad.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
A rocker and swivel device according to claim 3 including a washer between said first mounting plate and said nut, and a bevelled peripheral edge on said washer co-operable with said first mounting plate to facilitate rocking of the first mounting plate with respect to said washer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
96 words
A rocker and swivel device according to claim 1 including a mounting plate defining the first mounting means, a swivel shaft defining the swivel means, the shoulder being on the swivel shaft between its ends, a first end portion of the swivel shaft having a screw thread, the swivel shaft extending through the resilient pad and the mounting plate, a nut engaged with said end portion so as to clamp the resilient pad between the mounting plate and said shoulder, and a second end portion of the swivel shaft engaged in a socket of the base.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
A rocker and swivel device according to claim 5 including a washer between said first mounting plate and said nut, and a bevelled peripheral edge on said washer co-operable with said first mounting plate to facilitate rocking of the first mounting plate with respect to said washer.
