A chair is provided having at least one leg with an upper end on which a seat component is supported and a backrest interconnected to and projecting from the seat component. The backrest comprises a lower backrest section, an upper backrest section, and a backrest hinge interconnecting the upper backrest section to an upper end of the lower backrest section. The lower backrest section is interconnected to and extends from a rear portion of the seat component and the backrest hinge is configured to permit the upper backrest section to be located in an upright position in which the upper backrest section projects above the lower backrest section and is configured to permit the upper backrest section to be pivoted to a forward position in which the upper backrest section extends laterally over and spaced above the seat component.

A sofa waist propping device includes a frame and a waist adjusting mechanism, the frame being fixed on a sofa or a seat, the waist adjusting mechanism comprising a backrest and a first driving member rotatably connected to the frame respectively, the first driving member being rotatably connected to the backrest and driving the backrest to rotate around the frame. Since the first driving member is rotatably connected to the backrest and drives the backrest to rotate around a fixing member, the position of the backrest is adjusted, with a structure simple and stable and comfortableness increased.

The present invention discloses a sofa waist proping device comprising a frame and a waist adjusting mechanism, the frame being fixed on a sofa or a seat, the waist adjusting mechanism comprising a backrest and a first driving member rotatably connected to the frame respectively, the first driving member being rotatably connected to the backrest and driving the backrest to rotate around the frame oppositely. Since the first driving member is rotatably connected to the backrest and drives the backrest to rotate around a fixing member, the position of the backrest is adjusted, with a structure simple and stable and comfortableness increased.

A seat back linking mechanism includes a base frame having a pivot portion; a back frame pivotally connected to the base frame; an actuation member slidably coupled to the back frame; a linkage having a first link and a second link pivotally coupled together, the first link and the second link being respectively pivotally coupled to the pivot portion of the base frame and the actuation member, and a driven slot; and a drag member having a drag pin adapted for dragging the driven slot of the linkage.

According to an aspect of some embodiments of the present disclosure there is provided a chair including a base component, a seat component connected to the base component by a central hinge, and a back-rest component connected to the seat component by a back hinge, wherein when the chair is in a sitting position, the seat component is lower than the central hinge. Related apparatus and methods are also described.

Embodiments relate to apparatus comprising a seat, a base for supporting the seat, and a mounting bracket connecting the seat and the base, wherein the mounting bracket comprises a first portion, a second portion and a flexible joint joining the first portion and second portion; the first portion connected to the base via a first connection member; the second portion is received by a seat comprising a receiving member, wherein the receiving member is connected to the seat using a second connection member; wherein the second portion moves between a foldable position and a release position relative to the first portion; wherein the mounting bracket is configured to be locked in foldable position securing the seat to the base; and wherein the mounting bracket is configured to be in release position for assembly and disassembly of the seat from the base.

An article of furniture comprises a base providing a seating area and having a back edge and a front edge, a support coupled to the base near the back edge and a distance from the front edge, and a linkage coupling the support to the base so that the support can be presented in generally upright and generally forward positions relative to the base. The distance from the front edge of the base to the support in the upright position is greater than the distance from the front edge of the base to the support in the forward position, and the support provides a surface that is a top surface when the support is in the upright position and is a rear surface when the support is in the forward position. The support remains between the back and front edges of the base in both the upright and forward positions.

A luxurious motorized outdoor pool chaise lounge and luxurious motorized outdoor pool seat recliner are provided. The lounge chair and the recliner are fully motorized and include many other luxurious features. The lounge and recliner may be reserved in advance and rented on a time-of-use basis.

The invention relates to a seating assembly (100) comprising a basic frame (101), a seat unit (102), and a back-support unit (103) wherein the seat unit and the back-support unit have a common pivoting axis (P) with respect to the frame at the level of the hip joint. Hence, based on human body like biomechanics and physiognomy, the seating assembly, particularly for ergonomic chairs or wheelchairs, provides a highly improved seating comfort, even with therapeutic effect.

An anti-pinch system for an electric seat includes a plurality of infrared sensing modules, a seat cushion hose, a footrest hose, a pressure sensor, at least one linear actuator, a central processing unit, a power module and a control module. When the user operates the electric seat to act, the plurality of infrared sensing modules and the pressures sensor synchronously sense whether an obstacle is under the electric seat. If an obstacle exists under the electric seat, the central processing unit will control the at least one actuator to stop or to reversely act. When the user cannot perceive obstacles by themselves, the electric seat can be automatically prevented from pinching obstacles, thus avoiding damaging the obstacles or the electric seat.
