A stroller utilizes a handle folding assembly and a front frame folding assembly for a compact, easy storing folded size. An axle of the handle folding assembly rotates when a wrench is operated with single hand and two first sliders are brought to approach axially to each other and detach from two fastening elements, making the handle rotatable and folding to a rear frame. A button of the front frame folding assembly is pressed with single hand (or a seat is detached from a seat bracket) to detach a second slider of the front frame from a roller to make the front frame rotatable and folding to the rear frame. The position pins accompanied with a plurality of position holes enable the stroller an adjustable height of a seat and the handle.

A low frequency exponential bass horn enclosure employing a large area unitary throat pathway, bifurcated at a substantially parabolic rearward channel wall, convertible to a front-loaded or rear-loaded configuration by the use of interchangeable parts, with driver access from the front. Intended for corner placement, however, fully enclosed horn channel allows for floor use. The axially-centered throat expands vertically, exhausts rearward, and is bifurcated at the back of the enclosure with two hard reflection points, comprising a single fold, in which the vertically arranged horn terminus exhausts with a forward-canted splay angle around a partially rectangular back chamber.

A unifoldable reclining chair design has a collapsible articulated frame and includes a pair of opposing side assemblies having longitudinally elongated pivotally connected side frame members that are maintained in opposing transversally spaced relation by front and rear collapsible X-shaped connector assemblies. Slidable pivot connections, or alternatively, pivotal connecting linkages, which join the rear connector assembly to associated side frame members, enable all of the frame members to move substantially in unison and in multiple directions relative to each other while simultaneously undergoing multiple changes in an angular position relative to each other to move the chair frame from a set-up condition for use to a collapsed condition for transportation and / or storage in response to a single folding action. The slidable pivot connections and pivotal connecting linkages also enable a chair occupant to change the angular position of the chair back support when seated or reclined in the set-up chair.
