A bariatric chair for use in easing the ingress and egress of bariatric patients from medical furniture includes a platform mounted within a cavity defined by the chair base. The platform includes a pair of pistons and a pair of legs each pivotably attached to a rectangular base that is stored in a retracted position within the base when not in use but drops down when engaged to lift the chair vertically. Due to the pistons extending beyond the legs, the pivotable nature of the attachment creates a rotation of approximately fifteen degrees (15°) in the chair base, assisting the bariatric patient when trying to exit the chair. A method of lifting the chair is also provided.

An armchair comprising a seat chassis supported on a support chassis by a pair of support columns, a chair back structure pivotally attached to a rear end of the seat chassis and to the support chassis, and a leg support structure pivotally attached to a front end of the seat chassis and connected to a beam, wherein the beam is attached the chair back structure. A first actuating device is mounted to the chair back, where a protracting end of the first actuating device is connected to the seat chassis. The armchair further comprises a second actuating device mounted to the support chassis, a footrest connected to a protracting end of the second actuating device, a third actuating device attached to the seat chassis, and a seating structure connected to a protracting end of the third actuating device and mounted above the seat chassis, wherein the seating structure includes an operative position projecting upwards and forwards by the third actuating device at a tilting angle from the seat chassis.

A chair includes a seat, a backrest, and a leg rest. A tilt actuator and lift actuator tilt and lift the seat, respectively. A leg rest actuator extends and retracts the leg rest. A backrest actuator pivots the backrest with respect to the seat. A controller simultaneously controls the actuators such that they move sequentially between multiple predefined states. A control panel enables a user to automatically move the chair to any of the predefined states. Progress indicators are included that provide a visual indication of how far the chair has progressed to a commanded state. A controller controls the actuators such that they simultaneously arrive at each state. One or more functions on a control panel may also be automatically disabled and/or automatically enabled as the chair moves into or out of certain ones of the predefined states.
