A recliner or lift and recliner chair is provided having a recline or lift and recline chair mechanism with preferably with at least one recline or lift-recline actuator that controls a reclining movement or a lifting and reclining movement. The chair mechanism has a recline or lift-recline base, a seat and a back connected thereto. For additional functionality, a cradle assembly is provided in order to provide a cradling movement to the recline or lift-recline base. The cradle assembly can be provided by a system of standoffs and pivot connections, which can be direct or use links, or can be configured with a track and roller or slide system in order to achieve a desired cradling movement. A cradle actuator is connected between the cradle base and the recline or lift-recline base. A controller is provided that controls movement of the cradle actuator and preferably at least one recline or lift-recline actuator.

A mechanism for a reclining having a headrest and a backrest movable with respect to a seat, the backrest being supported by a reclining mechanism which includes an arc fastened to pads sliding in guiding plates, actuated by a motoreducer, and a mobile trapezoidal lever that is mobile backward and forward and that supports a bottom roller that is stationary and a top roller that is integral with the frame of the seat. The rollers are pivotable around axes that are parallel and are perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the chair, so that, simultaneously with the shifting of the pads along the guiding plates, the frame of the seat performs a rheonomous tilting movement, upward or downward of its end corresponding to the anterior end of the chair seat.

A dynamic ergonomic chair with a sensor detects an adjustment to a position of a component of the chair and includes a user interface which updates a first user profile based on the detected adjustment to create a second user profile. The second user profile including a second workstation productivity measurement; the interface compares the first workstation productivity measurement of the first user profile with the second workstation productivity measurement of the second user profile, and/or medical outcomes, to determine an optimal user profile. The chair can dynamically adjust various components (e.g. armrest, recline angle, etc.) to enhance worker productivity.

A metal-to-the-floor linkage mechanism provides backrest recline and ottoman extension for a seating unit. The linkage mechanism has a base and a pair of seat mounting plates that are used to attach a seat to the mechanism. The linkage mechanism comprises a first and a second plurality of links that are each pivotally coupled between the base and a corresponding one of the pair of seat mounting plates. The first and second plurality of links moveably interconnect the base and the seat mounting plates to control movement of the seating unit between closed, TV, reclined and fully-reclined positions. In the fully-reclined position, the seat mounting plates are moved to a position by the first plurality of links and the second plurality of links to place the seat of the seating unit at an angle relative to horizontal of between eighteen and twenty-six degrees.

A chair assembly includes a supporting frame disposed above a base and including a first guiding groove. A seat is pivotably connected to a backrest. Lower and front guiding wheels are mounted to rear and front ends of the seat, respectively. At least one operating board includes rear and front ends respectively having second and third guiding grooves. The lower guiding wheel is movably received in the first and second guiding grooves. The front guiding wheel is movably received in the third guiding groove. A first operating rod is pivotably connected between the supporting frame and the seat. When the operating rod retracts, the lower guiding wheel is located in rear ends of the first and second guiding grooves, and the front guiding wheel is located in a rear end of the third guiding groove. The seat moves downwards and rearwards, and the front end of the seat inclines upwards.

A wall-proximity reclining seating unit includes: a frame having a back member and a pair of arms, the back member extending between the arms; a backrest; a seat; a first footrest; and a reclining mechanism connected between the frame, backrest, seat, and first footrest. The reclining mechanism comprises a series of pivotally interconnected links and is configured to move the seating unit between: (a) an upright position, (b) a TV position, in which the first footrest is extended in front of the seat and is generally horizontally disposed, and the seat and backrest are moved forwardly relative to the frame; and (c) a fully reclined position, in which the first footrest remains extended in front of the seat, and the seat is moved forward of its position in the TV position. The seating unit also includes a headrest mechanism attached to the headrest and the backrest, the headrest mechanism configured to move the headrest between a retracted position, in which the headrest is generally horizontally disposed and overlies the backrest and the back member, and an extended position, in which the headrest is generally upright and generally parallel with the backrest

A seating furniture chassis comprises a base body, first and second side parts, a back part, a plurality of electrically conductive cables fastened to the base body, and first and second fasteners arranged on the base body. The back part is releasably fastenable to the first fastener and the first and second side parts are respectively releasably fastenable at two opposite sides of the base body to the second fastener, a plurality of individual connectors, and a central connector. Each electrically conductive cable connects one of the individual connectors to the central connector.

Furniture seats, in particular relate to an electric sofa frame, comprising a bottom frame assembly, a sofa mounting frame, a leg assembly, a back assembly, a linkage mechanism and a first driving electric motor for driving the movement of the linkage mechanism. The movement of the linkage mechanism may cause the leg assembly and/or the back assembly to expand or contract; and further includes a fixing frame, a headrest assembly, a waistrest assembly, a second drive electric motor for driving rotation of the waistrest assembly, and a third driving electric motor that drives the headrest assembly to rotate; the headrest assembly and the waistrest assembly are connected to the back assembly via a mount. The utility model has the advantages of simple and compact structure, stable and reliable operation and can be used for providing the user with the head support and the waist support massage.

An electrically adjustable seating device includes at least one sensor element, a processor, a memory unit and at least one electromechanical actuator. The at least one sensor element is designed to detect predetermined seating parameter data relating to a person sitting on the seating device and to transmit the data to the processor. The processor is designed to determine person parameter data, relating to the person, from the seating parameter data, to extract control data, which are associated with the person parameter data, from the memory unit and to control the at least one electromechanical actuator on the basis of the control data.
