Dynamic furniture
09743771 · 2017-08-29 · ·

Dynamic furniture for supporting a seated or reclining user includes a base, an actuator assembly supported by the base, a front boom in circular orbital connection to a portion of the base, a rear boom in circular orbital connection to another portion of the base, a seat platform supported by the actuator assembly, and a back platform supported by the actuator assembly. The seat platform and the back platform are capable of remaining stationary relative to the actuator assembly while the actuator assembly moves relative to the base. The seat platform and the back platform are also capable of moving relative to the actuator assembly while the actuator assembly remains stationary relative to the base. The seat platform and the back platform are also capable of moving relative to the actuator assembly while the actuator assembly moves relative to the base.

11241094 · 2022-02-08 · ·

An elevated mount chair includes: a base; a pair of arms; a seat positioned above the base between the arms; a backrest; a first ottoman; a reclining mechanism attached to the base, the seat and the backrest; and a footrest mechanism attached to the seat and the first ottoman, the footrest mechanism being coupled to the reclining mechanism. The seat includes a T-cushion positioned above a seat frame, the T-cushion having lateral wings that are positioned forward of the arms. The reclining and footrest mechanisms comprise a plurality of pivotally interconnected links configured to move the chair between an upright position, a TV position, and a fully reclined position. In moving between the upright, TV and fully reclined positions, a front portion of the seat experiences substantially no forward or rearward movement relative to the arms.

Zero gravity chair mechanism

A zero gravity chair mechanism includes a frame having a bottom wall and a pair of vertical side walls; a carriage slidable longitudinally of the bottom wall; a linear actuator for moving the carriage longitudinally of the frame; link arms connected to the carriage for movement with the carriage, front ends of the link arms being connected to chair seat support brackets for moving the brackets longitudinally of the frame, the rear of the brackets moving horizontally while the rear of the brackets move upwardly and rearwardly relative to the frame or downwardly and forwardly relative to the frame, whereby the chair moves between a horizontal position and a zero gravity position. During movement from the zero gravity to the horizontal positions, the back of the chair moves downwardly and forwardly relative to the frame.

Multi-positioning recliner chair

A lift and recliner chair which is positionable in multiple reclining positions including both a Trendelenburg and zero-gravity position, in which using an electronic actuator mechanism the position of the back frame can be adjusted to any lift and/or reclining position the chair is capable of achieving without requiring any movement or adjustment to the position of the seat frame or footrest. The back frame actuator mechanism is secured between the back frame and a stationary position on the lift/recline frame, and has an increased stroke length and is synchronized with a separate lift/recline actuator to maintain the back frame in the same relative position with respect to the seat frame as the chair is moved to and from a reclining position.

Linear Actuator

20210393037 · 2021-12-23 · ·

An adjustable chair frame with a back and seating surfaces that flex to conform to the shape, weight and movement of an occupant is disclosed. The chair form and proportions provide for a recumbent position that disperses the weight of the occupant more evenly, thereby reducing external and internal physiological point loading. The form also provides ergonomic articulation to minimize internal physiological stresses such as neck/back vertebral compression. Eccentric connections driven by a motor assembly allow positioning adjustment of the components of the chair. Additionally, an air pump assembly may be included to automatically adjust one or more air bladders provided on the interior of the chair frame.
