ZERO-WALL CLEARANCE LINKAGE MECHANISM WITH POWER SEAT DRIVE
A metal-to-the-floor linkage mechanism provides backrest recline and ottoman extension for a seating unit. The linkage mechanism has a base and a pair of seat mounting plates that are used to attach a seat to the mechanism. The linkage mechanism comprises a first and a second plurality of links that are each pivotally coupled between the base and a corresponding one of the pair of seat mounting plates. The first and second plurality of links moveably interconnect the base and the seat mounting plates to control movement of the seating unit between closed, TV, reclined and fully-reclined positions. In the fully-reclined position, the seat mounting plates are moved to a position by the first plurality of links and the second plurality of links to place the seat of the seating unit at an angle relative to horizontal of between eighteen and twenty-six degrees.

APPARATUS FOR SUPPORT DURING TATTOOING
An apparatus that supports a person in a variety of positions so that a tattoo artist can comfortably apply a tattoo to the skin of the supported person is herein disclosed. The apparatus can be articulated to cause a person's legs and arms to be optimally positioned and supported to receive a tattoo.
FOLDABLE MULTIFUNCTION CHAIR
A foldable multifunction chair including a base for contacting a support surface; a user body support having a support front surface for contacting a user body, the user body support being adjustably pivotably mounted to the base along a transversal axis; a selectively adjustable chair deployment mechanism cooperatively coupled to the base and the user body support, the chair deployment mechanism being configured for selectively adjusting the user body support to a desired angle relative to the base; and a locking mechanism configured for angularly locking the user body support to the desired angle relative to the base. The chair may be used, e.g., as a backrest with an accessory support positioned in front thereof for work, or as a seated workstation wherein the accessory support is positioned adjacent a rear surface of the user body support in a deployed position, and the collapsible seat in a deployed position.
Furniture member with wall-proximity mechanism and locking trigger
A furniture member includes a base frame and a seat assembly supported by the base frame. The seat assembly includes a seat frame, a seat bottom, a seatback and a legrest. The legrest is movable relative to the base frame and seat frame between a retracted position and an extended position. The furniture member further includes a legrest mechanism attached to the legrest and the seat frame and driven by a drive rod configured to move the legrest between the retracted and extended positions in response to rotation of the drive rod. A wall-proximity mechanism is configured to translate the seat frame forward relative to the base frame. A trigger release mechanism is operable between a locked position in which a trigger limits rotation of the drive rod and a released position in which the trigger permits rotation of the drive rod.
RECLINING HIGH-LEG SEATING UNIT
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.
Collapsible and Portable Chair with Independently Movable Leg Rest
A collapsible and portable reclining chair includes a leg assembly, a seat assembly defining a seat support and a back support, and an independently movable leg rest support. Such a chair can be folded and unfolded between a set-up condition of the chair for use, and a collapsed and folded condition of the chair for transport and/or storage. In use, the seat assembly can be shifted between an upright position and a reclined position where the back support angularly pivots backwards. In use, the leg rest support can be pivotally shifted from a lowered position to an upright position relative to the seating assemblyoperating similar to a conventional LA-Z-BOY recliner using a handle disposed on a side of the chair frame that is moved by the user to effectuate movement of the leg rest support independent of any reclining adjustment of the seat assembly.
Dynamic furniture
A seat with a base, an actuator, at least one front boom, at least one rear boom, a seat platform, and a back platform. The actuator is circularly rotatably connected to each of the at least one front boom, the at least one rear boom, the seat platform, and the back platform. The base is circularly rotatably connected to each of the at least one front boom and the at least one rear boom.
Seat placeable in public rooms
Convertible seat which can be located in public places which seat comprises a seat part (1) and a back rest (3) in which case the back rest (3) can be turned in relation to the seat part (1), mechanism (9) in order to convert the seat essentially into a horizontal plane to become a resting surface, equipment in order to secure the items of the user, equipment in order to collect the use charge and equipment in order to cover the seat which has been converted to become at least a resting surface to become at least a partly closed resting space in which case the equipment in order to cover the resting space comprises a covering device (16) with a standard width which can be moved from the back part of the seat forward which covering device comprises control elements (7) which are installed at the both sides of the seat to such height that a needed resting space is formed underneath the covering device (16). The seat comprises an control unit (27) which is adjusted to recognize the payment of the use charge and which is adjusted to allow the moving of the seat into a resting space on the grounds of that in which resting space the space (19) for keeping the items of the user is protected and the mentioned resting space can be closed with the covering device (16) and that the control unit (27) is adjusted move the covering device (16) away from the position which closes the resting space with the help of a regulating unit when the paid utilization time has finished.
Furniture member having flexible seatback
A furniture member may include a stationary frame assembly and a seat bottom assembly. The stationary frame assembly may include a stationary base frame and a stationary seatback frame that is fixed relative to the base frame. The seat bottom assembly may be supported by the base frame and movable relative to the base frame and the seatback frame between a first position and a second position. The seatback frame is disposed vertically higher than the base frame and the seat bottom assembly.
