Foot and leg support device for a chair
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.
Controller Chair
A backrest portion supported, such as to be pivotable around an axis extending along its width direction center line, by a base, a left arm holding portion projecting forward from a left side portion of the backrest portion and supported, such as to be pivotable up and down around its base end portion, by the backrest portion, a right arm holding portion projecting forward from a right side portion of the backrest portion and supported, such as to be pivotable up and down around its base end portion, by the backrest portion, a left leg holding portion extending downward from a vicinity of a left side portion of a front edge of a seat portion at a front side of the base and supported, such as to be pivotable up and down around its upper end portion, by the base, and a right leg holding portion extending downward from a vicinity of a right side portion of the front edge of the seat portion at the front side of the base and supported, such as to be pivotable up and down around its upper end portion, by the base are included.
Buoyant pool lounge chair
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.
Portable work support and keyboard/mouse tray and work station and tethered chair
A portable work support device and support for a key board and a pointing device, such as a mouse, for use by occupants of reclining capable office chairs having an adjustable fitted footrest assembly connected to the chair that will provide the seated chair user the ability to achieve a desired pelvis/feet triangulation stabilization effect while reclined by having the seated user's feet placed correctly in an attached footrest thereby producing a tactile input or cue that will lead to the desired muscle or motor output, causing the seated user to actually sit all the way back in the chair, and to be in a posture biomechanically neutral for using and working on the portable work support device, a work station removably housing the portable work support device, and a foot rest assembly to which a chair can be tethered so that a computer user can be properly positioned in a reclining position in the chair and have reduced posture issues when using the work support device while using computer or like equipment.
Methods and Apparatus for Variable User Position Seating
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.
INTEGRATED WELLNESS SYSTEM FOR STATIONARY UNITS
An integrated wellness system uses biometric sensor data received from an integrated stationary unit to generate user-specific wellness mappings and to automatically adjust one or more components of the stationary unit. Sensors in the integrated stationary unit transmit biometric sensor data to an integrated online system responsive to detecting that a user is interacting with the integrated stationary unit. Modules of the online system input the received sensor data into a trained configuration model that outputs a recommended optimal configuration of the integrated stationary unit for the user and instruct the integrated stationary unit to configure one or more components according to the recommended configuration. In some embodiments, the online system instructs the integrated stationary unit to further modify one or more components based on user input through a wellness application executing on a client device.
Apparatus for support during tattooing
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.
FACILITATED ENTRY AND EXIT SEATING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE
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.
Inclination-Adjustable Armrest
An inclination-adjustable armrest (10) includes a pivot bearing (12) formed at one end of the armrest, the pivot bearing defining a pivotal axis (A) for the armrest, a clamping-type locking mechanism (16) arranged on the pivotal axis and being adapted to be unlocked by a release member (20) that is rotatable about the pivotal axis, and an actuating mechanism for actuating the release member, wherein the actuating mechanism has a release lever (22) that is connected to the release member (20) and is rotatable about the pivotal axis (A) and which extends through the interior of the armrest (10) to the end of the armrest opposite to the pivot bearing (12) and exits the armrest at that opposite end.
Chair with variable positioning and support
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.
