The hip support is configured to support the anterior hip of a seated user as the seat urges the seated user’s hip forwardly towards the hip support.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A STANDING CHAIR FOR USE WITH A STANDING DESK
A standing chair apparatus for improving stretching and comfort for a user, for use with a standing desk, the apparatus includes a movable base. The standing chair further includes a calf stretching plane on the movable base. The standing chair further includes a tower portion, extending from the movable base, the tower portioning including multiple stretch points.
EXERCISE APPARATUS
A yoga exercise apparatus that is operable to reduce pressure on the crown of the head of the user as well as the wrist and hands during certain yoga body positions. The present invention includes a first member, second member and third member that are identically constructed with the first member having a larger diameter than the equal diameter of the second member and third member. The first member, second member and third member are annular in shape each having a central portion and an integrally formed outer ring. The central portion has an upper surface that is recessed within the outer ring. The bottom of the central portion includes a plurality of walls forming pockets that will function to releasably secure the present invention to a floor. The second member and third member are placed on opposing sides of the first member during use of the present invention.
Ergonomic Chair Made from Paper Substrate with Embedded Sensor, Computer Readable Medium for Interacting with the Chair, Method of Making the Chair or Other Structures from Paper Substrate
There is provided an ergonomic chair which is produced from flat components. The components may be made of paper. The components are designed using parametric equations which take the targeted user's proportions into account. The components are then folded, joined, and coated with strengthening material. The chair has a seat, a base, and three legs connecting the seat to the base. The base contains a counterweight mass for keeping the chair in a default upright position. The base contains an accelerometer which can transmit data to a computing device to track a user's posture and other health-related data.
REMOVABLE CUSHION FOR A CHAIR, MOLD FOR MAKING A CUSHION AND A CHAIR HAVING A REMOVABLE CUSHION
A removable cushion for a chair having an outer surface and an inner foam, as well as at least one magnetic member. The inner foam and the outer surface are formed from the same polymer, with the outer surface forming an integral skin over the inner foam. The outer surface defines an upper surface and a lower surface. The lower surface is structurally configured to be positioned in an abutting relationship with a seating surface of a chair. The at least one magnetic member is embedded within one of the outer surface and the inner foam, the at least one magnetic member positioned closer to the lower surface than the upper surface of the outer surface. A chair having the cushion, and a mold is likewise disclosed, as is a method of manufacturing the cushion.
ACTIVE FITNESS CHAIR WITH AN EXERCISE ARMREST
In one aspect, an active exercise chair comprising seat support, wherein the seat support is rigidly affixed to a top section of a shaft of the gas spring; a seat, wherein the seat is connected to the seat support; a seatback support, wherein the seatback support is pivotably connected to the seat support about a discrete pivot point; a seatback carriage, wherein the seatback carriage is slidably connected to the seatback support, wherein the seatback carriage is connected to a seatback, and wherein the seatback traverses a translational path defined by the geometry of the seatback carriage and the seatback support.
Seat for hip shaking
A seat for hip shaking is set on a surface of a chair while in use. The seat for hip shaking includes a seat member and a base member arranged under the seat member. A top surface of the seat member is disposed with a saddle-shaped seat surface for users to sit thereon while a spherical surface is projecting downward from a bottom surface of the seat member. The base member has at least one support part on a top surface thereof. The spherical surface of the seat member is moveably supported by the support part of the base member and is rotated at an arbitrary angle. When a user sits on the saddle-shaped seat surface, he/she shakes the hip or maintains the balance to get the benefits of exercise like horse riding.
OFFICE, WORK AND LEISURE CHAIR AND RETROFIT KIT FOR A CHAIR OR A SEAT SURFACE FOR CAUSING SUBLIMINAL MOVEMENTS OF THE PERSON SITTING THEREON
Office, work and leisure chair and retrofit kit for causing subliminal movements of the person sitting thereon. The chair has a cruciform base (1), freely articulated rollers (4), a gas-spring support (2) and an interface panel (5) resting thereon as a support panel. Mounted on the support panel is a base panel (28) bearing a seat cover (19) with a seat surface and back rest (22). The seat cover is provided and allowed to wobble, resting via a cover panel (27) on a plurality of spring elements (7), which are displaceable radially, or obliquely in relation to the radial direction, or helically from the centre of the base panel to the periphery of the base panel. The spring elements are mechanically, hydraulically, pneumatically or electrically displaceable, so that the wobble distance of the seat cover and the attenuation of the wobble movement are variable.
RESONATING MEDITATION PLATFORM
This Invention is designed to provide relaxation and sound healing properties to person while they practice seated meditation on a low profile and portable platform. The platform can play stereo sounds while transferring the sounds resonant vibrations to the user via direct contact to the platforms top surface. This is achieved by a combination of any top surface material capable of resonating such as wood or slate, which is also capable of supporting the user and the use of powered sound exciters designed for the sole purpose of producing sound via connection to such a surface. This platform is primarily designed to enhance the practice of meditation to help reduce stress and create a deep sense of relaxation peace and well being.
User stabilized stool
An embodiment includes a user-stabilized stool having a bottom portion for contacting a ground surface that is configured to be inherently unstable when in an active position, thereby requiring a user to stabilize the stool when in the active position. The stool further includes a seat portion connected to the bottom portion and a stabilizing member operable, when the bottom portion is in the active position, to prevent the user-stabilized stool from tilting beyond a predetermined angle.
