An apparatus that supports a user in a variety of positions to comfortably perform tasks, such as applying one or more tattoos to skin of a subject is herein disclosed. The apparatus can be reconfigured to optimally position and support the arms and/or chest of the user. A method for using a stool can involve rotating armrests of the apparatus from a stowed position to a deployed position. The armrests can support the user's forearms while supporting the user's chest such that the user can comfortably perform tasks in front of a chest support of the stool.

Provided is a length-adjustable column with a standpipe having a longitudinal axis, a length-adjustment device arranged in the standpipe with a portion displaceably-mounted along the longitudinal axis with respect to the standpipe and an anti-rotation locking device for locking the portion against a rotation around the longitudinal axis relative to the standpipe. The anti-rotation locking device includes an inner element, which is fastened to an outer surface of the portion, and an outer element, which is fastened to an inner surface of the standpipe. The inner element cooperates with positive locking with the outer element against a rotation around the longitudinal axis, and is displaceably guided along the longitudinal axis by the outer element. The inner element is connected with the portion through a substance-to-substance connecting layer.

To secure both flexibility and rigidity of a pressure-receiving member, a pressure-receiving member capable of moving rearward in a state of receiving a load from a back of an occupant is included in a seat back of a conveyance seat for supporting the back of the occupant. The pressure-receiving member has a load-receiving portion which receives the load from the back of the occupant at a front face, and the load-receiving portion includes a load-receiving portion piece formed so that a length in a vertical direction of the seat back is shorter than a length in a seat width direction, and a rear reinforcement rib protruding along a thickness direction of the load-receiving portion from the load-receiving portion piece and extending along the seat width direction.

A metal seat stretcher that is configured for easy mounting to the seat box, and furniture items including the same. The disclosed stretcher may be mounted in such a way so as not be directly mounted to the forward or rearward rails, thus preserving the strength and integrity of the rails by not subjecting them to perforation from a multitude of staples. Instead, the front end of the metal seat stretcher mounts to a clip rail that is secured to the inside of the front rail, and back end of the stretcher is secured to a seat back upright. In some embodiments, securing of the disclosed seat stretcher is done with a single screw at the front end and a single self-tapping bolt at the back end (though more fasteners may also be utilized). This provides for rapid and easy assembly of the furniture item.

An occupant support having a seat cushion. The seat cushion includes a rear pad and a front pad selectively movable with respect to the rear pad between a retracted position and an extended position.
