A multi-gear adjustable support mechanism includes a base plate, a support plate, a support element, a gear forming element having gear grooves and a limiting part and a gear controller having an abutting part and a platform. The support element includes a support crossbar for supporting the support plate at a different angle from the base plate. A moving surface of the gear forming element bears and supports the movement of the support crossbar. The platform is aligned with the moving surface at the position of the gear groove closest to the limiting part when the support crossbar moves and reaches the limiting part. The support crossbar moves on the surface of the platform part and passes the gear groove when the support crossbar returns from the limiting part. An adjustable seat is provided including the multi-gear adjustable support mechanism.

A reclining seatback support device which mainly includes at least one seatback support and a seatback body is revealed. The seatback body and an upper end of the seatback support are provided with pivot bracket portions pivotally connected to each other while a lower part of the seatback body and the seatback support are connected by a swing arm. When a user is sitting and lying down on the back, the seatback body is rotated around the pivot axis where the seatback body is pivotally connected to the upper end of the seatback support and then reclined at a certain angle. By elastic segments of the seatback body and the swing arm between the lower part of the seatback body and the seatback support for pulling and limiting the seatback body, the user can lean on the seatback body comfortably and safely.

A body support structure includes a frame and a membrane attached to the frame. The membrane includes elastomeric filaments. The membrane includes different regions with different stiffness. The membrane may form a part of a seat or a backrest.

A tilt locking device for a chair, comprising a housing configured for connection to one of a seat and a frame; a first rotatable locking member, rotatable about a first axis and biased in a first direction about the first axis, the first rotatable locking member is configured for interlocking with a notch member; a rotatable activation member, rotatable about a second axis, the rotatable activation member is configured to abut and rotate the first rotatable locking member in a second direction opposite the first direction into interlocking with the notch member.

A rebounding device includes a front member, a rear member, and a spring mechanism including a first biasing element and force adjustment assembly. The force adjustment assembly includes a spring element including a front planar surface and a rear planar surface connected at a rounded portion, wherein the front planar surface contacts an inner surface of the front member; a screw housing secured to an inner surface of the rear member, wherein the screw housing includes a longitudinal channel and a bore on an upper surface; a drive screw positioned through the bore and along the longitudinal channel of the screw housing; a threaded block positioned within the longitudinal channel of the screw housing, wherein the threaded block is configured to move vertically along the longitudinal channel, and wherein the rear planar surface of the spring element is secured to the threaded block.

A seating arrangement includes a base, a lower shell including a first portion coupled to the base and comprising a substantially horizontal portion, a curved transition portion and a backrest portion, a pair of laterally spaced front links extending upwardly from a forward portion of the first portion, a rear link extending upwardly from a rearward portion of the first portion of the lower shell and forwardly of the transition region of the lower shell, and an upper shell comprising a seating portion coupled to the pair of front links and to the rear link, a curved transition portion spaced apart from the curved transition portion of the lower shell and defining an open lateral pass through therebetween, and a backrest portion connected to the backrest portion of the lower shell.

A body support structure includes a shell having a central region, an outer peripheral region spaced from the central region, and at least one array extending between the central region and the outer peripheral region. The at least one array includes a plurality of spaced apart support members and at least one connector connecting adjacent support members within each array. The support members of the at least one array are progressively divided between the central portion and the outer peripheral edge.

A reconfigurable chair includes features that open up new sitting and resting positions for the user. The chair includes rotatable lateral side rests and a tilt adjustable back rest which when reconfigured, provide auxiliary resting platforms to support the body in different sitting and resting positions. The backrest may include a rotatable feature so that the backrest may be moved from an upright position to a flat position adding another level of support. A height adjustment mechanism may adjust the height of the backrest to add to the reconfigurability of the chair.
