A salon treatment assembly (10) includes a salon chair (12) that supports the user during the salon treatment; and a foot bath system (14) that is coupled to the salon chair (12). The foot bath system (14) includes (i) a foot bath (15) that is configured to receive and retain a bath liquid (15A); and (ii) a ventilation system (16) that includes a vent inlet (16A) that is coupled to the foot bath (15), and a vacuum source (61) that creates at least a partial vacuum in the vent inlet (16A) to draw gas away from near the foot bath (15).

A system for seated support. A seat rest may be configured to support the posterior of a user, a leg rest may be configured to support a leg portion of a user, and a combined translate-and-cant reposition carriage may be configured to simultaneously translate and cant the position of the leg rest in relation to the position of the seat rest. The seat rest, leg rest, and combined translate-and-cant reposition carriage may comprise an equipoise balancer for a user. The equipoise balancer may be free-floating, lockable, partially lockable, seat-rest driven, or leg rest driven in various embodiments.

A footrest chassis for attachment to a seating furniture chassis includes a first region, a second region, at least one attachment mechanism for securing the first region to the seating furniture chassis, and a connecting mechanism, wherein the first region and the second region can be pivoted about a first pivot axis defined by the attachment mechanism in the mounted state on the seating furniture chassis, and wherein the second region is connected to the first region by the connecting mechanism. During a pivoting movement of the first region and the second region about the first pivot axis, an additional pivoting movement of the second region takes place about a second pivot axis that is defined by the connecting mechanism.

A seat assembly having an extendable thigh support. The extendable thigh support may include an attachment sled that may be moveably disposed on a lower guide and a seat cushion extension sled that may be moveably disposed on an upper guide. A linkage mechanism may operatively connect the attachment sled to the seat cushion extension sled.

A seating furniture chassis comprises a retractable and extendable leg and/or footrest, a driver, a fold-out mechanism for triggering a folding movement of the leg and/or footrest during an extending and/or retracting movement of the leg and/or footrest, and a translator designed to be moved translationally by the driver and trigger the extending and/or retracting movement. The folding movement of the leg and/or footrest can be triggered by a change in the distance between the fold-out mechanism and the translator.

Seating and/or lounging furniture with a footrest coupled to a frame via a linkage mechanism designed as a scissor mechanism. A drive mechanism extends and retracts the footrest, and includes: at least one first linkage articulatedly fastened at one end to a first hinge point on the frame, and having a second end with a second hinge point, at least one second linkage articulatedly coupled at a first end to the first linkage at the second hinge point, and having a second end coupled to a third hinge point provided on the linkage mechanism, and the first and second hinge points defining a first straight line, and the second and third hinge points defining a second straight line, in an extended position of the footrest, the first and second straight lines enclosing an angle of 180+/5 relative to one another.

A linkage extension system and method for holding an extendable portion of a seat in a desired position while the extendable portion translates from a retracted to an extended position and any intermediate position. A coupled damper produces a holding force to counter gravity or other forces which cause the translation of the seat extension away from a desired position. The linkage extension system is self-powered and operates within the enclosed portion of the seat.

An extension assembly for a procedure chair leg pad includes a frame and a leg pad assembly. The frame attaches to deployment tracks of the procedure chair through frame arms and includes a slot(s). At least one slot includes detents configured to receive and selectively restrain a guide member. The leg pad assembly is disposed in proximity to the frame and includes a guide member(s) extending therefrom, through a slot and movable relative to the frame. The leg pad assembly may be moved forward and rearward by manual adjustment, moving the guide members through their respective slots. Detents along the slots restrain the guide member at predefined positions until sufficient force is applied to overcome the geometry of the detent. A detent(s) is configured to prevent vertical movement of the leg pad assembly when stowed vertically, but still allow movement in a deployed position.

A seating and/or lounging furniture includes: a seat frame; an extendable footrest; a footrest frame, which is displaceable on the seat frame, and on the front end of which the footrest is held movably, pivotable around a pivot axis; at least one drive for displacement of the footrest frame along a displacement distance relative to the seat frame; and at least one operating rod for swinging the footrest in and out, around the pivot axis, wherein the operating rod is connected at one end to the footrest, while the other end of the operating rod is connected to the seat frame by means of a hinge mechanism, so that displacement of the footrest frame over at least 60%, preferably over at least 80%, and extremely preferably over at least 90% of the displacement distance causes a simultaneous pivoting movement of the footrest about the pivot axis.
