An office-type chair includes a back support having a support frame, front and rear shells, a cushion and a cover. The perimeter edge of the cover wraps around the side of the cushion and the front shell and is inserted between the front and rear shells to form a finished edge for the cover. The front shell may include a central flex section, and a lumbar pad may be positioned between the front shell and the rear shell and adjacent to the central flex section. One or more lumbar enhancement ribs on the front shell may augment the pressure distribution of the lumbar pad as it is vertically adjusted.

A damper mechanism for a stand mixer includes a swing body coupled to a pivot pin and operable along an actuation path between first and second positions. A piston damper is configured to provide a damping effect to a downward movement of a mixer head and is coupled to the swing body. The piston damper includes a damper housing and a piston rod, wherein the piston rod is operable between extended and compressed positions relative to the damper housing. The piston damper provides a damping effect along a portion of the actuation path of the swing body as a mixer head moves towards the closed position relative to a pedestal of the stand mixer.

An improved cart and pallet system and an improved compactly stackable pallet for use in the system are disclosed. The improved pallet has a central support extending beneath the pallet with channels on either side of the support. The support and channels are engaged by a ledged, generally U-shaped deck of a cart or pallet truck of the application.

A cooking appliance kit includes a housing having a plurality of walls defining a heating cavity. A cooking vessel is configured to be inserted into the heating cavity. The cooking vessel includes a first rounded end, a second rounded end, and an intermediate necked portion that defines first and second wells that at least partially intersect. First and second distinct heater plates are disposed in the first and second wells, respectively. First and second drive arms are removable coupled to the housing in an operable communication with the drive system. The first drive arm includes a flipping wand and the second drive arm includes a stirring wand.

An improved chair back is formed of a molded construction uses multiple mold shots of mold materials to develop different performance characteristics in selected areas of the chair back. The chair back has the appearance of a unitary molded panel, but is formed from multiple mold shots which preferably are performed at multiple stations on a mold tool. By providing multiple mold shots and selected materials to form different areas of the chair back, different performance characteristics are generated including the provision of a peripheral frame providing structural rigidity to the chair back, a lumbar support panel which provides localized support to the lumbar region of the chair occupant, and a thin sheet-like support panel extending between the frame and enclosing the interior region defined between the peripheral frame to provide a more flexible and pliant surface providing more comfortable contact with the occupant's back.
