Disclosed is an underframe with an improved structure. The underframe includes an underframe body, an operating handle, a reclining pull rope and a gas spring pull rope, a cushion back-and-forth moving mechanism being installed on the outer side of the underframe body, the operating handle being installed through a left outer wall of the underframe body at a lower end of the cushion back-and-forth moving mechanism, a backrest installed on a rear end of the underframe body through a backrest connecting rod; and a reclining elastic adjusting mechanism is arranged at a front end of an inner wall of the underframe body, a backrest angle adjusting mechanism is arranged at the inner wall of the underframe body on a right side of the reclining elastic adjusting mechanism, a cushion height adjusting mechanism is fixedly connected in the underframe body.

An internal gear includes a thin annular portion and a thick annular portion whose outside diameters are the same and whose inside diameters are different are continuously provided integrally in an axial direction, and an outer peripheral surface of the thin annular portion and the thick annular portion is formed in a substantially L shape in a flush cross section. Therefore, a conventionally substantially convex section formed with the memory internal teeth does not become the weak point in terms of strength. An axial outer end surface of the thick annular portion of the internal gear is formed to be substantially flat, and the coupling cover member is fixed to the thick annular portion to be coupled to a frame of a seat cushion or a seat back.

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 foldable multifunction chair including a base for contacting a support surface; a user body support having a support front surface for contacting a user body, the user body support being adjustably pivotably mounted to the base along a transversal axis; a selectively adjustable chair deployment mechanism cooperatively coupled to the base and the user body support, the chair deployment mechanism being configured for selectively adjusting the user body support to a desired angle relative to the base; and a locking mechanism configured for angularly locking the user body support to the desired angle relative to the base. The chair may be used, e.g., as a backrest with an accessory support positioned in front thereof for work, or as a seated workstation wherein the accessory support is positioned adjacent a rear surface of the user body support in a deployed position, and the collapsible seat in a deployed position.
