A chair, couch or bench with a backrest that is pivotally attached by hinge to the seat. When folded down, the backrest covets itself, the seat and the armrests.

The present invention pertains to outdoor furniture that includes a lockable repository hidden in the furniture while maintaining an aesthetic appearance. The lockable repository is preferably secured with a hidden lock so as to camouflage the function of the repository. In some cases, the repository may have an angled internal panel to transfer valuables away from an opening and toward a retrieval/collection space. The lockable repository can be located between chairs, as part of a table or cabinet, and as a stand-alone unit.

A foldable table includes a tabletop, first and second table leg assemblies, and first and second supporting assemblies. Each of the first and second table leg assemblies is pivotally coupled with the tabletop and rotatable with respect to the tabletop between a use position and a storage position. The first supporting assembly is pivotally coupled with the tabletop and first table leg assembly, and the second supporting assembly is pivotally coupled with the tabletop and second table leg assembly. Each of the first and second supporting assemblies includes first and second supporting members slidably and rotatably coupled with each other such that sliding and rotating movement between the first and second supporting members of a respective supporting assembly allows a corresponding table leg assembly to rotate with respect to the tabletop between the use and storage positions.

An expandable seating furniture comprising a center section for providing a first seating position, the center section providing center chair legs and at least one lateral section, concealable into the center section, each of the at least one lateral section being laterally expandable for providing one or more additional seating positions. The center section conceals one or more lateral chair legs, and may also conceal back support and/or armrest, for each of the at least one lateral section when the expandable seating furniture is unexpanded. The lateral section(s) may be concealable into the center section as interleaved sliding sections (e.g., along a seating plane and/or vertically).

Methods for using a shelter such as a team shelter includes, for example, positioning a canopy of the shelter in a raised position to provide a front facing opening under the canopy in the shelter, and moving the canopy of the shelter to a lowered position to reduce the size of the front facing opening.

A drink holder assembly for attaching cup holders to outdoor chairs includes a block that is positionable between a respective arm rest on a pair of outdoor chairs. A strap is coupled to the block for wrapping around the respective arm rest on each of the outdoor chairs to removably couple the block between the outdoor chairs. A panel is positioned on the block and a pair of spacers is each positioned on top of the panel. A cup holder is positioned on each of the spacers such that the cup holder is spaced from the panel. The cup holder has a pair of cup holes therein and each of the cup holes insertably receives a cup having the cup resting upon the panel.

The disclosed technology can include a dual chair folding system having rigid support poles joined by pins to form a collapsible chair support frame. Fabric sections can be affixed to the collapsible chair support frame to form a plurality of chairs. The dual chair folding system can also include vertical support poles and sunshade support poles that can be joined by pins to form a collapsible sunshade support frame. A continuous fabric section can be affixed to the collapsible sunshade support frame to form a sunshade positioned above the collapsible chair support frame. Attachment brackets can be attached to the collapsible chair support frame to receive the sunshade support frame such that the collapsible sunshade support frame can be removeably attached to the collapsible chair support frame. Furthermore, adjustable brackets affixed to the vertical support poles and the sunshade support poles can adjust the sunshade between a plurality of angles.

A seating unit (102, 104) is disclosed as including a seat (106, 110) with a seat back (106a, 110a) and a seat pan (106c, 110c) which are movable relative to each other to convert the seat (106, 110) between a sittable configuration and an un-sittable configuration, and a seat (108) with a seat back (108a) and a seat pan (108c), the angle subtended by the seat back (106a, 110a) and the seat pan (106c, 110c) when the seat (106, 110) is in the sittable configuration being larger than an angle subtended by the seat back (106a, 110a) and the seat pan (106c, 110c) when the seat (106, 110) is in the un-sittable configuration, the seat back (106a, 110a) of the seat (106, 110) and the seat back (108a) of the seat (108) being connected with each other by a web (120, 122).

This invention generally represents a folding and transforming furniture, such as a transforming tabletop and seating surface apparatus that stays clean and used indoors, outdoors, within vehicles, aircrafts, water vessels, for commercial and recreational purposes. The invention refers in particular to an automated assembly of folding tabletop surface, seating surfaces, covers, general frame and extension assembly embedded compactly within a substantially horizontal surface, and controlled by internet of things system, controllers and electrical circuits by receiving signals from embedded sensory equipment to activate electrically, pneumatically, hydraulically and gravity powered mechanisms.
