A chair component includes a first chair member adapted to support a seated user, a second chair member movable between a first position, wherein the second chair member is substantially coplanar with the first chair member, and a second position, wherein the second chair member is substantially parallel with the first chair member, a cover member wrapped about at least a portion of the first chair member and at least a portion of the second chair member, and a single-piece drawstring operably coupled with the cover member to draw the cover member about the at least a portion of the first chair member and the at least a portion of the second chair member when the second chair member is in the first position.

A reciprocating seating unit includes: a base; a frame including a generally horizontal seat and opposed arms; a backrest; a reciprocating unit attached to the base, the reciprocating unit configured to permit reciprocating longitudinal movement of the frame and backrest relative to the base; and a reclining mechanism attached to the reciprocating unit, the frame and the backrest. The reclining mechanism includes pivotally interconnected links and is configured to move the backrest between an upright position, wherein the backrest takes a first backrest angle relative to the underlying surface and the frame is positioned relative to the base in a first location, and a reclining position, wherein the backrest takes a second backrest angle that is shallower than the first backrest angle, and the frame is positioned relative to the base in a second location that is at least 3 inches in front of the first location.

Disclosed herein is a chair of the kind that is shipped to a user disassembled. The chair includes at least one chair function controller (i.e., a paddle) that is actuated to control a chair function operator (e.g., a gas cylinder located below and coupled to the chair seat). During assembly, a pair of cable sections are mechanically and serially connected to one another at a force responsive connector block that is located within and slidable through a cable connector housing at the bottom of the chair seat. By virtue of connecting the first and second cables together at the connector block, the chair function controller paddle is connected to the chair function operator so that an actuation of the controller causes a pulling force to be applied to the chair function operator to enable the seat or back of the chair to be displaced.

The invention relates to a spring strut (1) for a pendulating chair (100) comprising a central cylindrical middle shaft (10) which is mounted in an axially displaceable manner on a plurality of guide elements (30) in a shaft cage (20) which can be received in a cylindrical securing sleeve (40) having an inner jacket (41), wherein the guide elements (30) each have a spring body (31) on which resilient support arms (32), each with a clamping contour (K), are provided, and a caster (34) which is mounted rotatably on a shaft (33), wherein the shaft cage (20), for resilient mounting of the spring bodies (31), forms respective recesses (21) in each of which a spring body (31) is mounted with clamping, and the respective spring body (31) bears with clamping with its clamping contour (K) on a mating contour on the shaft cage (20).

Furniture such as a cot, table, or chair is provided that uses shock-corded poles in combination with one or many torsion spring mechanisms to achieve a compact pack size. Alternatively, central hubs may be used in lieu of the spring mechanisms. The furniture maintains its usefulness by assembling to a size comparable with conventional full-sized furniture. One or many torsion springs associated with the furniture allow a user to easily achieve tension over desired elements of the furniture while reducing user exertion.

A swingable chair chassis comprises a rocker seat including a chamber defined between a bottom wall and a peripheral wall. The bottom wall includes a slot extending in a front/rear direction. A lid is securely mounted to a bottom of the seat and the rocker seat. A supporting seat is disposed in the chamber of the rocker seat. The supporting seat includes a central portion having an insertion hole coupled with chair post. The supporting seat includes an arcuate supporting face formed on an upper side thereof and abutting against a lower face of the lid. A plurality of elastic elements is disposed between the bottom wall of the rocker seat and the supporting seat and provides movement elasticity when the rocker seat swings forward or rearward relative to the supporting seat. The supporting face abuts against the lower face of the lid during swinging movement of the rocker seat.
