A guard for a rotatable or swivel seat includes a first generally planar surface and an opposing second generally planar surface. The first and second surfaces define an inner peripheral edge that surrounds a central opening. A skirt extends generally perpendicularly from the first and second surfaces. The skirt generally surrounds and is spaced radially outwardly from the inner peripheral edge. The guard includes a plurality of equidistantly spaced-apart fastener points formed on or in at least one of the first and second surfaces. Each fastener point is spaced radially outwardly from the inner peripheral edge and radially inwardly from the skirt. The guard is attachable to a platform of a seat in both a first configuration wherein the skirt of the guard extends away from the platform of the seat and a second configuration wherein the guard is inverted from the first configuration.

Disclosed herein is a dynamic pendula stool possessing a foot, a leg secured to the foot, and a seat secured to the top end of the leg. The leg has a telescopic column that includes a lower part secured to a spherical foot with a diameter of 20-cm or less and an upper part with a free end having an articulation. The articulation has three degrees of freedom and is secured to the underside of the seat so that when a user rests against the seat, the leg forms an angle between 30 and 90 degrees with respect to the horizontal, thereby allowing an isometric contraction of the muscle groups of the lower limbs and of the abdominal girdle in the seated position. The stool is further provided with one or more sensors configured to send data signals to a remote electronic device.

Mobile folding restaurant booth style benches are provided, which may be arranged in opposed pairs to form restaurant style booths. An individual bench incorporates a mechanism for shifting the weight of the bench between a mobile base, which may be supported by swivel casters, and a stationary base, which may be supported by non-slip feet, actuated by pivoting a bench seat down from a folded storage position to an unfolded seating position. The weight shifting mechanism may include an engagement member, which is initially spaced apart from an actuator at a folded angle of the seat, and which contacts and begins transmitting force and movement to the actuator at a partially unfolded angle of the seat. Preferably, the bench further includes a biasing component that biases the stationary base upward relative to the mobile base, a locking mechanism that resists a force provided by the biasing component to retain the bench seat in the unfolded seating position, contoured shells or other covers for the seat and a seat back, and a back panel extending vertically above the seat back.

A backrest for an office chair. The backrest has a support structure on which a backrest shell element can be fastened. The support structure is formed with two braces that which are interconnected at upper and lower end regions and that are spaced from each other between the upper and lower end regions. At least sections of the braces are movable relative to one another.

A piece of seating furniture includes a backrest and a seat. The seat is operatively connected to the backrest. The backrest and the seat, during a pivoting of the backrest, open one another at an opening angle. A backward-tilt stop is included for limiting relative movement of the seat and the backrest. The backward-tilt stop is situated in extension of a vertical support of a pedestal.

A seat back support with an adjustable support curvature, the support including: a frame; at least one elongate deformable member extending between side portions of the frame; and an elongate adjustment element that intersects one or more of the at least one deformable member(s), wherein manipulation of the adjustment element adjusts the deformation of the one or more deformable member(s) with which it intersects to adjust the curvature of the back support.

A chair includes a leg 1, a seat 5 including a pressure receiving surface PS, a backrest 6, and a support mechanism SM. The seat 5 can move in the front-rear or left-right direction along a predetermined trajectory and to downwardly incline a tip side of the seat 5 in a movement direction in accordance with a movement of the seat 5 from a predetermined reference position (S). The support mechanism SM includes a return-force generation unit configured to generate, in accordance with an amount of movement, a return force in a direction in which the seat 5 moved from the reference position (S) in the front-rear or left-right direction is returned to the reference position (S), and movably supports the backrest 6 in the left-right direction together with a movement of the seat 5 in the left-right direction.

The invention relates to an improved shoeing device basically comprising a tubular frame (1) secured to a bearing support (2) by means of an articulation element (3). The tubular frame (1) has a housing for a seat (5) post (4) in the upper part thereof, and also comprises a tools container (6). In the lower region of said tubular frame (1), there is a series of wheels (7). Said tubular frame (1) is provided with a ball bearing (12). The bearing support (2) has a bearing point (8) in the upper part thereof, which fits over the upper end of the primary tube (9), said primary tube (9) being secured to the secondary tube (10) which, in turn, is secured to the supporting base (11).

A system may include a seat assembly. The seat assembly may include a seat base, a seat portion mounted to the seat base, and an armrest assembly configured to be in an up position or a down position. The armrest assembly may include a handle operable by a user to lock or unlock at least one functionality of at least one adjustable seat assembly feature. Operation of the handle may be configured at least to: unlock the at least one functionality of at least one adjustable seat assembly feature while locking the armrest assembly from moving between the up position and the down position.

The invention pertains to a jointing 2 for a furniture leg element 4, the jointing comprising: a base part 6 configured to be attached to a furniture, the base part 6 comprising a convex outer surface 8, which during use faces the leg element 4, and which outer surface 8 further comprises an elongated hole 10 defining a longitudinal extension 12 and a transversal extension 14, an elongated threaded top part 16 configured to be fixed to the leg element 4 and having a cross sectional dimension not exceeding the transversal extension 14 of the hole 10, and a sliding element 18 configured to slide along the inner side 34 of the convex outer surface 8 the base part 6 and having a threaded aperture 20 configured for cooperating with the threaded top part 16 in such a way that the leg element 4 is fixed to the base part 6 by screwing the top part 16 in the sliding element 18, and thereby enabling the leg element 4 to be fixed at a certain angle relative to the furniture. The invention also pertains to a piece of furniture comprising such a jointing 2.
