Balance joint (1, 101) suitable for attachment between a seat arrangement (6, 106) and a chair leg arrangement (7, 107). The balance joint comprises first and second mountings (2, 3, 102, 103) together forming a hollow space and at least one hinge pin (4, 104). The mountings (2, 3, 12, 103) are rotatably attached to each other by means of the at least one hinge pin, where at least one elastic packing (5, 105) is arranged in the hollow space and the at least one elastic packing is arranged between the mountings so that the possibilities for expansion of the elastic packing is limited by the mountings (2, 3, 102, 103) in at least two directions. It is also described various furniture using such a balance joint.

Chair, in particular swivel chair, including a seat element displaceable by a displacement movement, backrest element pivotable with a pivoting movement about a first axis, and a transmission coupling the displacement movement to the pivoting movement, wherein the transmission includes a kinematic chain which has at least one elastic storage element with a restoring force which returns the backrest element and seat element to a initial position, and is pivotably connected to the seat element in each case via a front pivot point and a rear pivot point, where the seat element is pivotable about a second axis via a joint for a lateral tilting movement formed in addition to the displacement movement, where the second axis extends obliquely, in particular perpendicularly, to the first axis, and where the joint is integrated in particular in the rear pivot point.

A recliner system, including a suspension point adapted to be mounted onto an upright anchor and to extend outwardly therefrom. The recliner system further includes a support platform and a plurality of cords, each attached to the support platform at two attachment points and suspended from the suspension point. The support platform is adjustable between an upright position and a reclined position by pulling on at least a subset of the plurality of cords.

A chair has a supporting frame 1, a seat portion 101, a back portion 201 that has an upper end, a lower end, and is pivotally mounted relative to the supporting frame at a position above its lower end, and a recline mechanism 601. The recline mechanism 601 lifts the seat portion 101 upon a reclining action of the back portion 201, and has an operative connection 603, 611 between the seat portion and the supporting frame and a drag link 602 pivotally connected to the seat portion 101 and pivotally connected to the back portion 201 at a position below the pivotal mounting of the back portion relative to the supporting frame. As the back portion 201 of the chair is reclined, the lower end of the back portion 201 moves forward and the drag link 602 pulls the seat portion 101 upward relative to the supporting frame 1.

A blocker linkage for use in selectively locking a glider-recliner is provided. The glider-recliner is operable to move between closed, TV and full-recline positions. The blocker linkage includes a glide bracket having front and rear glide links pivotably coupled thereto. The rear glide link has a blocker pin coupled to it that extends outwardly. A carrier link is pivotably coupled to the bottoms of the front and rear glide links. A rear blocker cam is pivotably coupled to the carrier link. Similarly, a front blocker cam is also pivotably coupled to the carrier link. The rear blocker cam and the front blocker cam are operably coupled to cooperatively engage the blocker pin on the rear glide link when the glider-recliner is moved from the closed position to the TV and full-recline positions, preventing movement of the rear glide link (and thus the gliding movement supported by the carrier link).

The present application discloses a chair with a bi-directional controllable air rod valve including a chair leg, a seat cushion, and a compression air rod that connects the chair leg and the seat cushion, where two sides of a cavity of the seat cushion are each provided with a set of valve control members. The set of valve control members disposed in the cavity of the seat cushion enables a user to adjust the chair with both left and right hands conveniently, which greatly facilitates the operation, and in addition, the hidden design of the valve control members prevents the exposed valve control members from hurting a mover or a user and meanwhile, protects the valve control members.

A foldable chair includes a lower hub assembly and an upper hub assembly. The lower hub assembly has foldable legs for supporting the chair. The upper hub assembly has a plurality of bars, and webbing mounted on the bars. The bars are movable so that the webbing can be folded and unfolded. The webbing provides a seating area when unfolded. The chair also includes a center shaft assembly that facilitates tilting and swiveling of the seating area in relation to the lower hub assembly.

A chair comprises a seat pan member, a seat back member having a lumbar support member, a lumbar support assembly operatively connected to the lumbar support member and configured for moving the lumbar support member, with respect to the seat pan member and the seat back member, between at least a first position and a second position, and an actuator configured to operate the lumbar support assembly for movement of the lumbar support member between at least the first position and the second position. When the lumbar support member is in the second position, the lumbar support member is positioned forwardly, in a direction toward the seated user's lower back, relative to the seat back member so as to enable the user to be seated forwardly on the seat pan member while being engaged with the lumbar support member.

The present disclosure relates to a mechanical extension apparatus for an extendable chair unit and a chair unit including such mechanical extension apparatus. The mechanical extension apparatus includes: a reclining apparatus that include multiple links attached to the seat, the backrest and the footrest of the extendable seat, and such reclining apparatus is configured to convert the extendable seat between a sitting position and a lying position. The mechanical extension apparatus also includes an actuator that is attached to the reclining apparatus, and the actuator is configured to electronically convert the extendable seat between the sitting position and the lying position.

A dual-purpose stand for hammock and hammock chair, including at least one support assembly. The at least one support assembly each comprises a bottom rod. Two ends of the bottom rod are each provided with a suspension frame. The at least one support assembly is each provided with a bending portion. The bending portion is configured to be turned to adjust a spacing between suspension points of suspension frames, so as to correspondingly form a hammock suspension form or a hammock chair suspension form.
