A body-supporting component may have a main body. A 3D lattice structure of the main body may have deflection properties portions of the main body. The main body may be formed by a flexible material according to the 3D lattice structure combined with the deflection properties portions.

A method of manufacturing suspension seating includes providing a blank to be used in a suspension member. The blank has a non-visible marker. The method also includes illuminating the non-visible marker with an excitation source. The non-visible marker becomes detectable when illuminated by the excitation source. The method further includes sensing the non-visible marker with a sensor. The sensor is configured to detect the non-visible marker when illuminated by the excitation source. The method also includes determining, by a controller, a characteristic of the blank using the non-visible marker. The controller is in communication with the sensor and configured to receive information related to the non-visible marker from the sensor. The method further includes adjusting the blank to achieve the desired characteristic.

Tension-stabilized furniture structures and frame assemblies to form simplified flat packing furniture that eliminates all fasteners, welds and braces. Simplified assembly of pre-tensioned structures providing improved stability, uniformity of support and visual aesthetics. The seat cover material can be netting, fibrous material or textiles. The seating system includes outwardly angled side rails having the profile of furniture, such as seats, couches, chaise lounges, ottomans and the like. The angling of the side rails secures their connection to supporting cross rails with the application of a fitted cover sleeve. The sleeves slidingly engage the frame assembly and provide tension to the frame assembly resulting in highly stable furniture.

A load bearing surface includes a woven fabric surface and a carrier (18) overmolded onto the fabric surface. Portions of the woven fabric are bonded to the carriers(18) o as to remain fixed relative to the carrier during normal loading conditions and during abnormally high loading conditions. Other portions (14) of the woven fabric are bonded to the carrier so as to remain fixed relative to the carrier during normal loading conditions and to move or slip within the carrier, or to rupture, during abnormally high loading conditions.

The present disclosure relates to a chair back assembly with an outer frame and an inner frame, wherein the outer frame is manufactured of different material than the inner frame to allow for a variety in support throughout the chair back assembly, resulting in localized support throughout the back of the chair. The availability of localized support results in an improvement in comfort and may also improve production in embodiments utilizing a foam covering. Specifically, the inner frame of the chair back assembly may include at least one vertical member and at least one horizontal member to provide additional support to the user.

A seating furniture support arrangement (6) for a seat or a backrest, suitable, e.g., for a sofa, comprises a first (8) and a second (10; 12) load-carrying longitudinal beam, each being mountable to a seating furniture frame comprising one or more parts; an elastic sheet (16; 14); and a mechanism for stretching the elastic sheet (16; 14) between the first longitudinal beam (8) and the second longitudinal beam (10; 12). The mechanism comprises a first longitudinal beam (8) pivotable on the frame. The elastic sheet (16; 14), with the said seating furniture support arrangement (6) in installed position, is connected to the first longitudinal beam (8) in such a way that the first longitudinal beam (8) pivoting with respect to the frame, in response to an application of an external force or torque, stretches the elastic sheet (16; 14), the external force or torque working against the tension force of the elastic sheet (16; 14) until a point of maximum tension is reached, past which point of maximum tension the tension force facilitates further pivoting of said first longitudinal beam (8), acting to keep the first longitudinal beam (8) in place in a final position.

A foldable camping seat is disclosed comprising a flexible seat with at least one bracing on each side extending in the entire longitudinal direction of the seat, a flexible seat back with at least one bracing on each side that extends the entire height of the seat back, furthering comprising at least one flexible and tension resistant connection between the seat and the seat back on each side which is attached directly or indirectly to the bracings near the respective outer ends thereof, wherein the inner end of the seat and the lower end of the seat back meets in a straight line forming a pivot axis between the seat and the seat back. At least one elastic zone comprising an elastic material is mounted in the upper part of the seat back.

A body support assembly includes a seat assembly and backrest assembly supported by tilt control assembly. Methods of using and assembling the body support assembly are provided.

A load support structure for a chair includes a tensile material on which a load support surface configured to receive a load of a seated person is formed, a pair of support sections (51) to which the tensile material is attached, and which is elastically deformable in response to a force acting from the tensile material, a first reinforcing section (41) which is disposed to be spaced apart from the pair of support sections (51) in a surface perpendicular direction perpendicular to the load support surface, is located on a side opposite to the load support surface, and extends along an extending direction of the support section, and a connecting body which connects each of both end portion sides of the support section (51) with a corresponding end portion side of both end portion sides of the first reinforcing section (41), in which the support sections (51) are disposed outside the first reinforcing section (41) in a view of the surface perpendicular direction from the load support surface side.

A chair device, a mattress device, and a propping device are provided. The chair device includes a support stand, a seat module disposed above the support stand, a connection module disposed at one side of the seat module, a back support module connected to the connection module and disposed at one side of the seat module, a first pressure adjustment module disposed in the seat module, a second pressure adjustment module disposed in the back support module, a first pressure sensing module disposed in the seat module, a second pressure sensing module disposed in the back support module, and a control module. The control module adjusts the first pressure adjustment module according to first sensed pressure signals from the first pressure sensing module, and adjusts the second pressure adjustment module according to second sensed pressure signals from the second pressure sensing module.
