A zero gravity chaise chair includes a seat frame providing a head rest, a back, a bottom and a leg rest, a first bow member connected to one side of the seat frame, a second bow member connected to the other side of the seat frame, a first rolling guide connected to the first bow, a second rolling guide connected to the second bow, and a base connected to the first rolling guide and the second rolling guide. A motor may operate the first rolling guide to vary incline position of the seat frame. The motor may be algorithmically controlled to vary incline position of the seat frame such as to aid blood flow and minimize pressure points of a body positioned on the seat frame.

A mechanism for a seating unit is provided that allows a reclining mechanism to freely rock on a rocker assembly when a locking actuator is in a first position, and that provides an auto-rocking motion, via a rocking actuator, when the locking actuator is in a second position.

A rocking chair for children, comprising a seat body, a supporting frame and a seat body limiting mechanism, a driving motor, a driving motor power output part and a rotating shaft; one end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the driving motor power output part, and the seat body pivots around the other end of the rotating shaft; when the rotating shaft rotates, the pivot point between the other end of the rotating shaft and the seat body moves relative to a fixed connection point between one end of the rotating shaft and the driving motor power output part at a certain distance; and the seat body limiting mechanism can limit the included angle between the seat body and the rotating shaft to be kept within a set angle when the driving motor drives the rotating shaft for forward and reverse rotation in a reciprocating mode.

A base seat, which is adapted for being used with a bed or a chair, includes a fixation base, a rocking mount, a drive device, and a swivel mount. The rocking mount is disposed above the fixation base and reciprocatingly and inclinedly moveable relative to the fixation base. The drive device is disposed between the fixation base and the rocking mount to drive the rocking mount to reciprocatingly and inclinedly move relative to the fixation base. The swivel mount is disposed above the rocking mount and rotatable relative to the rocking mount. By rotating the swivel mount and driving the rocking mount to reciprocatingly and inclinedly move, the bed or chair, which is fixedly mounted to the swivel mount, is swingable in a desired direction.

A recliner or lift and recliner chair is provided having a recline or lift and recline chair mechanism with preferably with at least one recline or lift-recline actuator that controls a reclining movement or a lifting and reclining movement. The chair mechanism has a recline or lift-recline base, a seat and a back connected thereto. For additional functionality, a cradle assembly is provided in order to provide a cradling movement to the recline or lift-recline base. The cradle assembly can be provided by a system of standoffs and pivot connections, which can be direct or use links, or can be configured with a track and roller or slide system in order to achieve a desired cradling movement. A cradle actuator is connected between the cradle base and the recline or lift-recline base. A controller is provided that controls movement of the cradle actuator and preferably at least one recline or lift-recline actuator.

A reciprocating seating unit includes: a base; a frame including a generally horizontal seat and opposed arms; a backrest; a reciprocating unit attached to the base, the reciprocating unit configured to permit reciprocating longitudinal movement of the frame and backrest relative to the base; and a reclining mechanism attached to the reciprocating unit, the frame and the backrest. The reclining mechanism includes pivotally interconnected links and is configured to move the backrest between an upright position, wherein the backrest takes a first backrest angle relative to the underlying surface and the frame is positioned relative to the base in a first location, and a reclining position, wherein the backrest takes a second backrest angle that is shallower than the first backrest angle, and the frame is positioned relative to the base in a second location that is at least 3 inches in front of the first location.

A base seat, which is adapted for being used with a bed, a chair or a sofa, includes a fixation base, a first rocking mount disposed above the fixation base and driven by a first drive device to reciprocatingly swing back and forth relative to the fixation base, a second rocking mount disposed above the first rocking mount and driven by a second drive device to reciprocatingly swing from side to side relative to the first rocking mount, and a swivel mount disposed above the second rocking mount and driven by a third drive device to rotate about an imaginary vertical axis. As such, the base seat can swing back and forth, swing from side to side, and rotate, independently or simultaneously.

A swivel base assembly, for use in conjunction with an electrically powered chair, is disclosed. The swivel base assembly provides the necessary electrical power to the electrically powered chair without the electrical power cord becoming entangled around the upstanding column, or similar support structure, upon which the body portion of the electrically powered chair is mounted upon the swivel base assembly if the electrically powered chair is rotated multiple times through means of an angular displacement or movement of 360 or more, as a result of the disposition of a rotary electrical connected interposed between the swivel base assembly and the electrically powered chair.

Disclosed herein are a sway-yaw motion device and a chair assembly with the same, which can provide an audience with various motion effects by moving a motion chair by various degrees of freedom. The sway-yaw motion device and the chair assembly can additionally provide various motions on the plane by adding a swaying motion, which is a linear motion on the plane, and a yawing motion, which is a rotary motion on the plane, to a pitching motion, a rolling motion and a heaving motion, which are provided generally. Particularly, the present invention relates to a sway-yaw motion device and a chair assembly with the same, which can provide swaying and yawing effects at the same time according to actuation of a driving part, for instance, according to an angle control of a crank arm, as well as provide the swaying motion and the yawing motion individually.

A recliner or lift and recliner chair is provided having a recline or lift and recline chair mechanism with preferably with at least one recline or lift-recline actuator that controls a reclining movement or a lifting and reclining movement. The chair mechanism has a recline or lift-recline base, a seat and a back connected thereto. For additional functionality, a cradle assembly is provided in order to provide a cradling movement to the recline or lift-recline base. The cradle assembly can be provided by a system of standoffs and pivot connections, which can be direct or use links, or can be configured with a track and roller or slide system in order to achieve a desired cradling movement. A cradle actuator is connected between the cradle base and the recline or lift-recline base. A controller is provided that controls movement of the cradle actuator and preferably at least one recline or lift-recline actuator.
