A seating arrangement includes a rigid back frame, a flexible back shell coupled to the back frame and including a pair of vertical side portions and at least two strap portions extending laterally between the side portions and including a forwardly-facing surface configured to support a back of a seated user, the at least two strap portions including a lowermost strap portion, the lowermost strap portion configured to deflect a first distance when a rearwardly-directed force is exerted on the lowermost strap portion by a seated user, and a lumbar assembly supported from the back frame and configured to support the lumbar region of a back of a seated user, the lumbar assembly configured to deflect a second distance when the rearwardly-directed force is exerted on the lumbar assembly by a seated user, wherein the first distance and the second distance are substantially similar.

A backrest includes a primary frame having a pair of laterally spaced first uprights defining a first opening therebetween, a first front surface and a first rear surface. A secondary frame includes a pair of laterally spaced second uprights defining a second opening therebetween, a second rear surface facing the first front surface of the primary frame and a second front surface, wherein the secondary frame is coupled to the primary frame, and wherein at least portions of the first and second openings are aligned. A flexible shell overlies and is coupled to the second front surface of the secondary frame. The flexible shell includes a third rear surface visible through the aligned portions of the first and second openings.

A body support assembly includes a moveable body support member coupled to a deflectable suspension material. Methods of using and assembling the body support assembly are provided.

A home or office chair is disclosed having a flexible mesh back rest and a full lumbar back support including upper and lower lumbar supports that are located one above the other at the back of the chair to press against the outside of the mesh back rest. The upper and lower lumbar supports are connected to the back of the chair by a bolt so as to move back and forth in first and opposite directions in response to a user seated in the chair moving his back against and away from the flexible mesh back rest. The upper and lower lumbar supports of the full lumbar back support apply continuous pressure through the mesh back rest to provide support for upper and lower lumbar areas of the user's back regardless of whether the user's back is at rest or pressing against the mesh back rest.

This invention is a backrest adjusting mechanism and a chair using the same and relates to the technical field of chairs. The backrest adjusting mechanism has a backrest, and the backrest is movably arranged above a support surface of a chair body, and a distance between the backrest and a backrest support plate of the chair body is adjustable; the backrest is provided with a connecting base on a side close to the backrest support plate of the chair body. The backrest adjusting mechanism has at least one set of sliding assembly, wherein the sliding assembly is configured to connect the connecting base and the backrest support plate of the chair body.

The present application relates to a sofa backrest adjusting apparatus with integrated headrest and lumbar cushion, which comprises a frame body arranged in a sofa cover, wherein a support rod is arranged in the middle of the frame body, a bearing support frame is arranged on the support rod, and a headrest driving mechanism and a lumbar cushion driving mechanism are arranged on the bearing support frame; the headrest driving mechanism comprises a first power module and a first transmission lead screw, the lumbar cushion driving mechanism comprises a second power module and a second transmission lead screw. According to the present application, when the first transmission lead screw and the second transmission lead screw are broken, only the second transmission lead screw needs to be replaced, so that the maintenance cost of the electric sofa can be reduced.

A seating structure includes a base, a seat supported by the base, and a backrest having a frame and a suspension material supported by the frame. The frame includes an upper end and a lower end opposite the upper end. The seating structure also includes an upper thoracic support assembly supported by the frame adjacent the upper end. The upper thoracic support assembly including a thoracic support pad positioned between the frame and the suspension material. The thoracic support pad configured to engage the suspension material to support an upper thoracic region of a user.

The structure for adjusting a support force of a lumbar pillow includes: a backrest bracket, a lumbar pillow, an elastic support, and an adjustment mechanism; wherein a top of the lumbar pillow is flexibly connected to a front side of the backrest bracket; one end of the elastic support is connected to a back of the lumbar pillow, and the other end of the elastic support is provided with a slider, the slider being provided with an internally threaded hole; the adjustment mechanism includes a lead screw; and in response to the lead screw rotating with respect to the backrest bracket, the slider slides upward and downward along the vertical direction of the backrest bracket to change a support angle of the elastic support for the lumbar pillow, such that a magnitude of the support force of the elastic support to the lumbar pillow is adjusted.

A support for a chair includes: a base plate (110); support plates (120, 130), of which one sides are rotatably coupled to the base plate (110); and a first hinge (150) which connects the base plate (110) and the support plates (120, 130) to be rotatable, wherein the base plate (110) is supported by a seat portion (11) of a chair (10) and the support plates (120, 130) are supported by a back portion (12) of the chair (10) while the base plate (110) and the support plates (120, 130) are unfolded at a first maximum unfolding angle (θ1m) and support the upper body of a user.
