Various systems and methods relate to an adaptive chair system having (i) a stowed mode in which the members of the chair frame are contained within a compact flexible multi-function bag (MFB), and (ii) a deployed mode in which the MFB is adapted to releasably couple to an arm of the chair to provide a multipurpose accessory chamber. In an illustrative example, the MFB may, for example, fold in on itself in an accessory mode. The MFB may provide various utilities for hikers, for example, by providing a case to receive an inflatable bladder so as to form a pillow. The MFB may receive a thermal liner adapted to maintain, for example, food or beverage temperature. Various embodiments may advantageously provide a rugged, water resistant MFB system in an ultralight form factor that serves as a multi-purpose accessory (e.g., to store items), yet provides a compact, adaptive chair frame containment.

Apparatus includes a liner with a liner image. The liner is configured to be selectively positioned over a holder surface of a holder assembly. This is done in such a way that the liner, in use, positions the liner image in such a way that the liner image, in use, faces away from the holder assembly. A cover assembly is configured to selectively cover the liner image of the liner. The cover assembly is also configured to reveal the liner image formed on the liner once: (A) the liner, in use, is selectively positioned over the holder assembly, and (B) the cover assembly, in use, selectively covers the liner image formed on the liner. The liner, in use, visually enhances (changes) an appearance of the holder assembly once the liner is selectively positioned between the cover assembly and the holder assembly. The cover assembly is configured to protect, in use, the liner once the cover assembly, in use, is positioned proximate (adjacent) to the liner.

A retractable storage device for an armrest of a chair, including a vertically extending arm assembly including a first distal end and a second distal end, a horizontally extending arm assembly including a first distal end and a second distal end, a middle connector, and a storage container. The second distal end of the vertically extending arm assembly is pivotally secured to the middle connector, and the first distal end of the horizontally extending arm assembly is pivotally secured to the middle connector. The retractable storage device is moveable between a stowed position and a raised position. The storage container is coupled to the second distal end of the horizontally extending arm assembly, where the storage container is stowed beneath the armrest when the retractable storage device is moved to the stowed position.

A stackable molded plastic chair has a removable cup holder that may be placed on the top surface of a chair arm for use or attached to the underside of the chair arm for storage. The cup holder has an inverted U-shaped body that fits over a chair arm and a cup receiver that is connected to that body. There is a post that extends from the bottom surface of the chair arm and is sized and configured to fit through the hole in the cup receiver and create a snap-fit. The cup holder may also have a cell phone pocket at either side of the inverted U-shaped body.

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.

A sliding, pivoting and recliner sitting mechanism for chair and bench enables a seated user to transition between an upright position and a reclined position. To accomplish this the sitting mechanism has a seat platform, a back frame, a cushion, a backrest, and an adjustable leg assembly. Seat platform and the backrest are connected to form an L-shaped frame. The backrest is pivotably connected in between the back frame and the cushion so that angular displacement of the backrest can be used to linearly displace the cushion along the seat platform. The adjustable leg assembly is mounted beneath the seat platform and enables the user to modify the height of the cushion. Accordingly, the sitting mechanism can be used by individuals of varying shape and size.

An armrest with cup holder for a vehicle seat that includes an elongate armrest can of the armrest adapted to be carried by the seat. An elongate storage area is formed in the armrest can, and the cup holder is mounted for movement along a longitudinal axis of the armrest between a stowed position within the storage area of the armrest can and a deployed position forward of and to the exterior of the armrest. When stowed, the cup holder is positioned fully within the armrest can. The tray table of the seat can therefore be used for purposes other than supporting a beverage container, and can be used when the tray table is stowed.

Theater seating systems, theater lounge seats, theater seats, and theater seating arrangements are described herein. An example embodiment of a theater seating system comprises a separating panel and a theater seat. The separating panel has a first end, a second end, a first section, a second section, a third section, and a fourth section. The first section, the second section, the third section, and the fourth section cooperatively define a chamber within which the theater seat is disposed. The first end is separated from the second end to define an opening that provides access to the chamber defined by the separating panel.

A foldable chair side table has a snap-on/snap-off clamp which is designed for easy and simple installation on most foldable chairs. A leveling system is provided for ready adjustment to horizontally align the table in relation to the chair. The table is lightweight for ease of use and portability and comes equipped with an attached strap. It has a variety of unique features not found in prior side tables, including a solar powered charger having charging panels for electrically charging cell phones, tablets, and other electronic devices. The table also comes equipped with dual USB ports having a protective cover, a cup holder, a storage compartment, and rotatable leg members to allow placement of the side table on the ground, a table, or other flat surface.
