An adjustable chaise lounge is provided having a generally horizontal main frame, a seat portion, and an adjustable back rest with a free end and a proximal end that is coupled to the chaise lounge. The adjustable chaise lounge uses solar panels and a solar charge converter to power a linear actuator that is moveable between a first position and a second position. The actuator is coupled to at least one support post at a first end and a base of the back rest at a second end such that when the linear actuator moves between the first position and the second position it raises and lowers the adjustable back rest.

A chair including a seat, a seatback, a lift, at least one electric motor, and a brake and swivel system having a dual bearing Lazy Susan rotating mechanism, two soft bumpers, and a disc brake locking mechanism with a handle.

A control system for controlling an adjusting drive for an item of furniture includes a control device connected to the adjusting drive, and a first operating unit. The control device is configured to receive signals from the first operating unit transmitted wirelessly via a transmission unit over a first transmission link, and to control the adjusting drive as a function of the signals received. The control device is also configured to receive further signals from a second operating unit transmitted wirelessly via the transmission unit over a second transmission link and to control the adjusting drive as a function of the further signals received. The second transmission link differs from the first transmission link.

A furniture motion control system for controlling movement of one or more movable parts of a furniture member includes a panel including one or more buttons; an actuator configured to control movement of the one or more movable parts of the furniture member; an electric motor configured to drive the actuator; and control circuitry configured to control the electric motor, wherein the control circuitry is configured to, in response to detecting that a first button, from among the one or more buttons, has been pressed, select between controlling the motor to drive the actuator and the one or more movable parts to move automatically and controlling the motor to drive the actuator and the one or more movable parts to move manually, based on a length of time the first button is held.

An electronic furniture assembly of the present invention comprises: (i) a furniture assembly comprising: (A) a base (e.g., a seat portion), (B) at least one transverse member (e.g., a side, armrest or backrest), and (C) a coupler for selectively coupling the base to the transverse member; and (ii) artificial intelligence mounted within one or more portions of the furniture assembly. A speaker system can also be provided within the furniture assembly. The artificial intelligence (AI) can respond to and/or obey voice or other commands from a user. The AI can provide numerous functions, e.g., control of the speaker system within the furniture assembly, control of a recliner assembly that is part of the furniture system, or the like. The furniture assembly can include a selectively dockable speaker as part of a speaker system.

A motorized tilting mechanism for a reclining chair allows the chair be placed in a zero gravity position. A base frame comprising 2 sub-frames pivot in relation to each other to provide simple tilting mechanism.

According to the invention, the armchair has a seat, supporting feet, a stand-up aid, and a chassis with wheels for moving the armchair. The chassis is adjustable relative to the supporting feet between at least a first and a second position, with the wheels being spaced apart in the first position of the footprint while the armchair is supported with the supporting feet on the footprint, and with the wheels being in rolling contact with the footprint in the second position while the supporting feet are arranged so as to be spaced apart from the footprint. The aid has an adjustment mechanism with a servomotor, with the adjustment mechanism being coupled with the chassis for the purpose of displacing the chassis by means of the servomotor between the first and second position.

A chair assembly includes a supporting frame disposed above a base and including a first guiding groove. A seat is pivotably connected to a backrest. Lower and front guiding wheels are mounted to rear and front ends of the seat, respectively. At least one operating board includes rear and front ends respectively having second and third guiding grooves. The lower guiding wheel is movably received in the first and second guiding grooves. The front guiding wheel is movably received in the third guiding groove. A first operating rod is pivotably connected between the supporting frame and the seat. When the operating rod retracts, the lower guiding wheel is located in rear ends of the first and second guiding grooves, and the front guiding wheel is located in a rear end of the third guiding groove. The seat moves downwards and rearwards, and the front end of the seat inclines upwards.

A wheelchair having a tiltable occupant-support assembly, a powered drive system for adjusting the degree of tilt, and a control system for varying the degree of tilt in a programmatic automated fashion. The wheelchair is programmed or programmable to vary the degree of tilt, and therefore the wheelchair's occupant, automatedly. The wheelchair may provide pre-set ranges of seating angles and durations of time at each angle of tilt. The wheelchair thereby allows for reliable off-loading of the occupant's weight from pressure points, to avoid pressure ulcers, and does so programmatically so as to reduce the burden on healthcare staff and professionals while also ensuring adherence with prescribed tilting schedules.

A recliner or lift and recliner chair is provided having a recline or lift and recline chair mechanism with preferably with at least one recline or lift-recline actuator that controls a reclining movement or a lifting and reclining movement. The chair mechanism has a recline or lift-recline base, a seat and a back connected thereto. For additional functionality, a cradle assembly is provided in order to provide a cradling movement to the recline or lift-recline base. The cradle assembly can be provided by a system of standoffs and pivot connections, which can be direct or use links, or can be configured with a track and roller or slide system in order to achieve a desired cradling movement. A cradle actuator is connected between the cradle base and the recline or lift-recline base. A controller is provided that controls movement of the cradle actuator and preferably at least one recline or lift-recline actuator.
