A foot and/or leg support device for a chair, the chair including a central post having a base, a seat supported by the central post, and a plurality of support legs which branch from the base of the central post. In an example, the support device includes: a connector for attachment to the central post of the chair, wherein the connector comprises a circular interior having a radius of curvature substantially equal to a radius of the central post of the chair; a cantilever arm which extends from the connector; a pivot which connects the cantilever arm to the connector, the pivot being configured for vertical pivoting; and a support frame located at a distal end of the cantilever arm for supporting a foot and/or leg of a user.

The chair of the present disclosure balances safety, comfort, ergonomics, numerous desk geometries, a variety of floor surfaces, the physics of cantilevered elements, the height of floor obstacles, and a large range of body types/sizes. It can address the recommendations of ergonomic experts and adds the unique forward footrest/exercise bar for stretching, core workouts, and to increase the variety of ergonomic seating positions. The entire product can fold into a compact light weight package for easy transport and stowage.

A seat footrest includes a footpad having a supporting plate under a cushioned top side, an arcuate member mechanically coupled to the plate by a first end and pivotally coupled to a seat frame by a second end. The arcuate member is adapted for pivoting the footpad between a stowed position and one or more deployed positions. A lock pin is provided for releasably inserting into a first notch of the arcuate member for securing the footpad in the stowed position and one or more additional notches of the arcuate member for securing the footpad in the one or more deployed positions. A first biasing member is adapted for initiating deployment of the footpad upon release of the lock pin from the first notch, and a second biasing member is adapted for completing deployment of the footpad by raising the footpad to the one or more deployed positions.

A seat with a flipping footrest assembly has a cushion, a seat back, and a footrest assembly. A front surface of the cushion is a convex surface. The seat back is mounted on a rear surface of the cushion. The footrest assembly is pivotally mounted on the front surface of the cushion and comprises a first footrest and a second footrest, and the first footrest is pivotally mounted on the front surface of the cushion. A concave rear surface of the first footrest is capable of moving along the front surface of the cushion, which is covex. The second footrest is pivotally mounted on the first footrest. The corresponding shapes between the first footrest and the cushion allows user to comfortably stretch legs when the first footrest is flipped up, because there will be no excessive holes and gaps between the first footrest and the cushion.

A facilitated entry and exit seating system allows a person to rest in a hair salon style chair without the obstruction of a footrest. The seat portion rotates so that the footrest is at the side of the seat. The person enters and the seat is rotated to allow for use of the footrest.

A chair includes a seat (2) and also includes a pair of thigh support elements (17) pivotal n a generally downwardly direction about front pivot axes (20) from a first state forming with a central seat element (15) a substantially common plane, to a second downwardly extending state. The elements (17) are also pivotal about second pivot axes in a generally rearwardly direction for urging the user's thighs away from each other for stretching the adductor muscles. Foot support members (49) extend transversely and sidewardly on respective opposite sides of the chair (1) from a support element (46) for supporting the foot during a stretching exercise with the corresponding thigh of the subject extending downwardly from the seat (14) and the lower leg extending from the knee in a upwardly inclined direction to the foot support member (49) for stretching the quadriceps and the hip flexor muscles of the subject.

An apparatus that supports a person in a variety of positions so that a tattoo artist can comfortably apply a tattoo to the skin of the supported person is herein disclosed. The apparatus can be articulated to cause a person's legs and arms to be optimally positioned and supported to receive a tattoo.

A buoyant pool lounge chair is disclosed. In one embodiment of the buoyant pool lounge chair, frame members collectively form an open chair frame with buoyant cushions forming a chair seat and a backrest as well as a left arm rest and a right arm rest. The left arm rest and the right arm rest are each intersected by a cup holder. A recess in the cup holder has a forward tilt relative to a horizontal axis having an angle between approximately 20 degrees and approximately 40 degrees toward the front end of the buoyant pool lounge chair. In operation, when the buoyant pool lounge chair is supporting a person while the buoyant pool chair is floating in water, the forward tilt of the cup holder provides a compensating-leveling mechanism that mitigates spilling of liquid in the cup when the cup is placed within the cup holder.

A buoyant pool lounge chair frame and buoyant pool lounge chair using the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the buoyant pool lounge chair for supporting a person while the buoyant pool chair is floating in water, frame members collectively form an open chair frame including a back frame and leg frame pivotally coupled thereto. Buoyant cushions are attached to the frame members to form a chair seat, a backrest, and a leg rest. A pair of rear pivotal coupling and clutch assemblies are coupled to the seat frame and to the back frame to adjust and fix the angle of recline of the back frame relative to the seat frame. Similarly, a pair of front pivotal coupling and clutch assemblies coupled to the leg frame and to the back frame to adjust and fix the angle of extension of the leg frame relative to the seat frame.

An adjustable chair frame with a back and seating surfaces that flex to conform to the shape, weight and movement of an occupant is disclosed. The chair form and proportions provide for a recumbent position that disperses the weight of the occupant more evenly, thereby reducing external and internal physiological point loading. The form also provides ergonomic articulation to minimize internal physiological stresses such as neck/back vertebral compression. Eccentric connections driven by a motor assembly allow positioning adjustment of the components of the chair. Additionally, an air pump assembly may be included to automatically adjust one or more air bladders provided on the interior of the chair frame.
