A chair includes a seat, a backrest, and a leg rest. A tilt actuator and lift actuator tilt and lift the seat, respectively. A leg rest actuator extends and retracts the leg rest. A backrest actuator pivots the backrest with respect to the seat. A controller simultaneously controls the actuators such that they move sequentially between multiple predefined states. A control panel enables a user to automatically move the chair to any of the predefined states. A controller controls the actuators such that they simultaneously arrive at each state. One or more functions on a control panel may also be automatically disabled and/or automatically enabled as the chair moves into or out of certain ones of the predefined states. When transitioning between some states, all of the actuators are activated, and when transitioning between other states, only a subset of the actuators is activated.

A furniture fitting for an item of seating furniture. The furniture fitting has a base portion attaching to a furniture base that stands on a floor, a seat face portion attaching a seat face unit having a seat face, and a leg rest portion attaching a leg rest unit having a leg rest face. The seat face portion is attached to the base portion for movement between upper and lower terminal positions, and the leg rest portion is attached to the seat face portion for movement between a stowage terminal position and a use terminal position. The leg rest portion via a rear and a front pivot lever is attached to the seat face portion. A gear device kinematically couples the movement of the seat face portion in relation to the base portion to the movement of the leg rest portion in relation to the seat face 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.

The present disclosure discloses a multifunctional balance chair comprising a support portion, a seat portion, and a kneeling cushion portion. The seat portion is movably connected to the support portion, and an angle between the seat portion and the horizontal plane is controlled by relative movement between the seat portion and the support portion. The kneeling cushion portion is movably connected to the seat portion and connected to the support portion by a connecting mechanism. The kneeling cushion portion is movable between a first position aligned with the seat portion and a second position in which the kneeling cushion portion constitutes a balance chair cushion. The movement of the seat portion is linked to movement of the kneeling cushion portion.

An armchair comprising a seat chassis supported on a support chassis by a pair of support columns, a chair back structure pivotally attached to a rear end of the seat chassis and to the support chassis, and a leg support structure pivotally attached to a front end of the seat chassis and connected to a beam, wherein the beam is attached the chair back structure. A first actuating device is mounted to the chair back, where a protracting end of the first actuating device is connected to the seat chassis. The armchair further comprises a second actuating device mounted to the support chassis, a footrest connected to a protracting end of the second actuating device, a third actuating device attached to the seat chassis, and a seating structure connected to a protracting end of the third actuating device and mounted above the seat chassis, wherein the seating structure includes an operative position projecting upwards and forwards by the third actuating device at a tilting angle from the seat chassis.

A piece of seating furniture with a base for setting up in a fixed position, a seating element tiltable in relation to the base and having a seating surface, and a leg support element movable in relation to the seating element and having a leg support surface. The leg support element is connected to the seating element via a link gear, wherein the leg support element is movable between a storage position and a use position via the link gear. An electric motor is provided below the seating surface, which acts on the link gear via a push rod. To connect the leg support element to the seating element, the link gear has a pivoting link which, during the transfer of the leg support element from the storage position into the use position, is arranged in part in a slot partially penetrating the leg support surface.

A theater recliner assembly and method for mounting recliners to existing theater risers provides a recliner chair that mounts directly on pre-existing theater risers, without requiring construction of new risers, and without the need for significant modification to the existing stairs and seating rows. The mounting and reclining components of the assembly are configured to form voids, have low profiles, and miniaturized sizes, so as to fit on the riser. The recliner chair comprises a pair of L-shaped bases adapted to rest flush against the riser. The recliner chair further comprises a backrest, a low profile seat cushion, an extendable footrest, and a miniaturized lifting mechanism. The miniaturized lifting mechanism fits between the seat cushion and the riser, providing a series of connected links and fulcrums that facilitate tilting between the upright and reclined positions. The low profile of the seat cushion provides operational space for the miniaturized lifting mechanism.
