A seating furniture includes a seat with a seat surface, a pedestal and a tilt mechanism. The tilt mechanism is disposed between the pedestal and the seat and permits an inclination of the seat surface of the seat relative to the horizontal. In addition, the tilt mechanism has a lower bearing block mounted to the pedestal, and an upper bearing block fixedly connected to the seat. The lower bearing block has a convexly curved lower bearing surface on its upper side facing the upper bearing block, and the upper bearing block has a concavely curved upper bearing surface on its lower side facing the lower bearing block. The lower and upper bearing surfaces have substantially corresponding radii of curvature, so that the upper bearing block can be moved relative to the lower bearing block along the upper bearing surface. A tilt mechanism for seating furniture is also provided.

A body support assembly includes a seat assembly and backrest assembly supported by a tilt control assembly. Methods of using and assembling the body support assembly are provided.

A chair includes a seat and a backrest connected to a leg assembly. The front part of the seat is mounted on the leg assembly via a pivot link about an axis. The backrest is connected to the seat by a flexible intermediate part fixed to the leg assembly in the vicinity of the pivot of the seat for the purpose of a pivoting movement of the intermediate part by elastic deformation about an axis. The rear part of the seat is supported by the intermediate part, for example with at least one coupling element.

A chair with a transom, a seat support, a back portion, and a combined rock and recline mechanism. The combined rock and recline mechanism has front and rear rocking arrangements configured to enable the seat support and back portion to together rock generally forward and rearward from a neutral position relative to the transom, and a recline arrangement that is configured such that the seat support is in a first at-rest position relative to the back portion when the back portion is in an upright position, and such that reclining the back portion rearwardly from the upright position toward a reclined position moves the seat support upward and rearward from the first at-rest position.

An item of seating furniture, in particular an office chair, has a seat carrier for a horizontal seat member, and a backrest carrier for a vertical backrest. The backrest carrier is constructed in a substantially U-shaped manner with two vertically orientated U-shaped members and with a horizontal upper U-shaped member. Wherein, along at least one rotation axis which extends below the seat member, a first rotary joint and a second rotary joint are provided for the lateral tilting movability of the backrest with respect to the seat carrier. The first and second rotary joints are arranged spaced apart from each other along the rotation axis.

The present disclosure provides a swingable bracket for furniture including a base and multiple support members movably connected to the base; the base includes an upper base and a lower base; the multiple support members include three or more lower support members connected to the lower base and three or more upper support members connected to the upper base; the base further includes a deflection mechanism disposed between the upper base and the lower base, including a first portion connected to the lower base and a second portion connected to the upper base and pivotable relative to the first portion, a holding space is defined within the deflection mechanism, and the deflection mechanism further includes a resilient member disposed within the holding space for providing resistance when the second portion is deflected relative to the first portion.

Furniture is described having an extendable footrest. The footrest has a main panel and a flipper panel. In an extended position of the footrest, the top surfaces of the panels are approximately horizontal and co-planar, the main panel being proximate to a seat portion of the furniture. In a retracted position of the footrest, the top surface of the main panel is approximately vertical and the top surface of the flipper panel is approximately horizontal and facing in a downward direction. The footrest projects substantially 20 or more from the front of the seat portion in the extended position, and substantially 7 or less is provided between the floor and the apparent bottom edge of the footrest when retracted.

Chair (10, 100) with a seat section (14, 104), an underframe (12, 102) which supports seat section (14), and a seat back (16, 106), in which the seat back (16, 106) is mounted on underframe (12, 102) such that it may be pivoted around a rear transverse axis (26, 120) oriented crosswise to chair (10, 100), and seat section (14, 104) is at least partially deformable and is supported or reinforced by at least one stiff supporting element (28, 122) extending from the bottom end of seat back (16, 106) in the direction of seat section (14, 104) and being rigidly connected with seat back (16, 106), such that when a pivoting movement of seat back (16, 106) occurs, a portion of seat section (14, 104) positioned in front of the end of supporting element (28, 122) is raised or lowered depending on the direction of pivoting.

The invention relates to a vehicle seat comprising a backrest portion and a seating surface portion, each of which is arranged to be connected with a seat base portion, wherein the backrest portion is resiliently arranged and supported to be able to swivel with respect to the seat base portion, and wherein the seating surface portion is arranged to be able to move in at least a longitudinal direction of the seat frontwards and rearwards with respect to the seat base portion, wherein the backrest portion and the seating surface portion are operatively connected together via a first lever arrangement in such a way that the seating surface portion is able to move rearwards in the longitudinal direction of the seat when the backrest portion makes a suspending movement with respect to the seat base portion in a direction away from the seating surface portion.

A chair component assembly includes a support component adapted to support a portion of a seated user, and a cover including a plurality of sides that cooperate to form an interior space that receives the support component therein, the cover further including a support component receiving aperture and a flap movable between an open position where the support component may be moved from an exterior of the cover to the interior space of the cover, and a closed position where the flap covers the support component receiving aperture, and wherein the flap is secured to the support component by a quick-connect fastener.
