An object of the present invention is to provide a reclining apparatus in which when a pawl is in an unlocked position, orientation of the pawl is stable, and when the pawl moves to a locked position, meshing between outer teeth of the pawl and inner teeth of a first member is stable. The reclining apparatus has at least one second cam that is provided between a cam and a second pawl, and is pressed by the cam to press the second pawl. The reclining apparatus is provided with a spring or pressing the second pawl against a pawl guide protrusion.

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 linear actuator for adjusting a piece of furniture comprises a motor having a motor shaft, a conversion arrangement coupled to the motor shaft and adapted to convert a rotational movement generated by the motor shaft into an elongation of the linear actuator, and a locking arrangement coupled directly or indirectly to the motor shaft and adapted to selectively cause rotation locking of the motor shaft by means of a locking element. The locking arrangement comprises an inner part with at least one inner chamber and an outer part radially surrounding the inner part and having at least one outer chamber. The outer part and the inner part are rotatable relative to each other in such a way that the at least one inner chamber and the at least one outer chamber can be aligned with each other. The rotation locking is activated by clamping the locking element between the at least one inner chamber and the at least one outer chamber by means of rotation of the inner part and the outer part relative to each other.

A patient positioning apparatus for an X-ray dental imaging system includes a head rest and a chair separate from and spaced from the head rest. The chair has a seat portion and a back rest coupled to the seat portion. The chair further includes a locking system that locks a position of the back rest relative to the seat portion.

A furniture member includes a base frame and a seat assembly supported by the base frame. The seat assembly includes a seat frame, a seat bottom, a seatback and a legrest. The legrest is movable relative to the base frame and seat frame between a retracted position and an extended position. The furniture member further includes a legrest mechanism attached to the legrest and the seat frame and driven by a drive rod configured to move the legrest between the retracted and extended positions in response to rotation of the drive rod. A wall-proximity mechanism is configured to translate the seat frame forward relative to the base frame. A trigger release mechanism is operable between a locked position in which a trigger limits rotation of the drive rod and a released position in which the trigger permits rotation of the drive rod.
