A chair having a first frame portion with a backrest support and a rear leg portion at least part of the backrest support and the leg portion being formed from a single piece. A second frame portion has a seat support and a front leg portion extending in a direction transverse to the seat support, the seat support in a fixed position relative to the backrest support. The backrest support molded thereover in foam, the backrest support being substantially peripherally located around the foam of the backrest and the backrest being provided free from rigid supports extending across a middle portion of the backrest. The seat support molded thereover in foam, the seat support being substantially peripherally located around the foam of the seat and the seat being provided free from rigid supports extending across a middle portion of the seat.

Outdoor furniture for an exterior of a home includes a piece of outdoor furniture with a fortified drop box contained therein. The fortified drop box has a lid configured to open for gaining access to the fortified drop box. The lid of the fortified drop box is also configured to close for sealing the fortified drop box. A locking mechanism is included with the fortified drop box that is configured for securing the fortified drop box with the lid closed. The locking mechanism of the fortified drop box is also configured to selectively unlock for accessing the fortified drop box through the lid. Wherein, the piece of outdoor furniture containing the fortified drop box is configured and shaped like functional outdoor furniture.

A body support structure includes a frame and a membrane attached to the frame. The membrane includes elastomeric filaments. The membrane includes different regions with different stiffness. The membrane may form a part of a seat or a backrest.

A table can be made entirely from tempered glass. Structural components including the table top, end pieces, and a stabilizing cross piece can be made from glass. Glass connectors can be used to attach the structural components. The structural components of the table can be shaped to provide shapes that can become an integral part of the design. Rubber feet can be used to protect the glass and floors. The glass can be printed using a high temperature printing process to provide visual appeal to the overall design. The table can be particularly suited to outdoor use due to its durability and ease of cleaning. The table can also incorporate bent tempered glass to provide strength and alternative design options.

A self-locking parcel delivery apparatus and method includes a tamper-resistant compartment beneath a lid of a porch bench seat and insulated for protecting delivered parcels. The apparatus includes a lid that is held open magnetically until proactively released to close and lock (such as by a delivery person) or by a remote user via a primary software application running on a mobile communications device. The apparatus may be operated in conjunction or cooperation with a supplemental software application associated with a video motion detection system so that a remote user can authenticate a supposed delivery person and then, using another software app, activate a remote delivery container to be made ready to receive a delivered parcel.

Disclosed is a modular seat for aircraft. The system has a frame that is able to be interconnected with other frames laterally. Since each lateral frame has the same pivot points (when viewed from the side), the linked seats rotate together. The seats also include buckle lugs which enable a particular seat to be used on either side of the aircraft.

A seating unit of a modular seating system, said seating unit comprising: a first lateral member comprising a first mounting arrangement; a second lateral member opposing said first lateral member and comprising a second mounting arrangement; a seat support member having a longitudinal support axis extending through said first lateral member and said second lateral member; and a seat articulated to said seat support member; wherein said first mounting arrangement is configured for coupling to said second mounting arrangement of a second lateral member of a neighboring identical seating unit, so as to attach said seating unit and said neighboring seating unit to each other; and wherein said seat support member has a first end associated with said first lateral member and an opposite second end associated with said second lateral member.
