Seating Company targets Riverboat Casinos For New Product Stidd Systems Inc. recently shipped four of its Series 500 Admi- ral helm chairs equipped with five- star bases to Bender Shipbuilding for the pilothouses of two new ca- sino boats. The Starbase is a mobile, pedes- tal, five-star base designed specifi- cally for ease of movement around the pilothouses of large flatwater vessels, where boat motions are minimal. The Starbase provides eight inches of gas spring counter- balanced vertical height adjustment, eight inches of fore/aft travel, and 360 degrees of rotations with de- tents at 45 degree intervals. With all these adjustments, the Starbase provides a broad 38-in. stance, sup- porting a fully reclined occupant without danger of tipping.

Molnar Co., using a patented process, manufactures an anti-slip safety plate that is not a coated-on grit surface. A grit-free super alloy metal surface is applied (molten) to a metallic plate surface, resulting in a Martenistic (hard al- loy) product with a hardness of up to 62 on the Rockwell "C" Scale. The patented application matrix report- edly retains its high traction prop- erties even after heavy use. It ex- ceeds OSHA/UL recommended and proposed standards for "slip resis- tance" in dry, wet or oily conditions, and is UL-approved and USDA/FDA accepted. It is fireproof, toxic fume free, and easily galvanized. It is intended for all plant and marine applications.

Portavox provides constant per- sonal oxygen depletion monitoring. Using an advanced galvanic elec- trochemical sensor, Portavox is pre- set to alarm at a safe 18 to 19 per- cent (lower) limit oxygen content and 23 percent (upper) limit. Portagas provides constant per- sonal flammable gas monitoring. The Pallister sensor has been de- signed to be poison-resistant for lon- gevity, and is pre-set to respond at 20 percent of the lower explosive limit.
