An assembly for supporting an article is disclosed. The assembly may include one or a combination of a pillar member, a first cap member, a second cap member; and a fastener. In some configurations, the pillar member may be utilized alone for supporting the article; as such the first cap member, the second cap member, and the fastener may be individually or collectively optional. A method for assembling the assembly is also disclosed.

An outdoor chair is provided that can include a seat, a pair of front legs, a pair of rear legs, a backrest, and a pair of armrests. The pair of front legs and the pair of back legs can both depend from the seat. The backrest can be disposed adjacent to the seat. The pair of armrests can be coupled to the front legs and the backrest, where each armrest can be coupled to the backrest with a flared protrusion. The rear legs can include an angled leg extension and the seat can include a plurality of horizontal slats.

A portable adjustable chair is disclosed comprising a seating area for receiving a person having a front portion and a back portion. A front support connected to the front portion of the seating area for supporting the front portion of the seating area is also provided and a back support connected to the back portion of the seating area for supporting the back portion of the seating area. The chair also has a fulcrum member allowing movement of the back support and removing support for the back portion of the seating area provided by the back support while allowing the front support to support the front portion of the seating area and a support member connected to the seating area to support the back portion of the seating area when the back support is not supporting the back portion of the seating area.

The present invention relates to a chair having a center of gravity that can be intentionally made to adopt an unstable state when the chair is sat upon. The objective of the present invention is to provide a self-standing type chair that is unstable when in use and that automatically stands by itself using auxiliary legs when not in use, and that is convenient to handle. The main feature of the present invention is that, in order for a chair that is unstable when in use to be self-standing when not in use, auxiliary legs (14a, 14b), other than a main leg, form new points of contact with a floor or ground surface by utilizing the action of an urging means and a driving force transmission means that accompanies the removal of weight from the chair by a user.

A support device for supporting at least one person located on it includes a stiff frame, which comprises a plurality of structural elements and a plurality of supporting elements. Securing means are provided for securing the stiff frame to roof bars of a motor vehicle. A plurality of rotatable arms is provided, each of which is hinged in a specific supporting element and is rotatable from a rest position into an operating position, and vice versa. Locking means are provided for locking the rotatable arms in an operating position. A cloth, on which said at least one person can be supported has connecting means by which it is connectable to the rotatable arms. The direction of longitudinal extension of each supporting element is not parallel to the longitudinal axis of the stiff frame and each rotatable arm is made of two portions inclined with respect to each other.

A terminal system including a device terminal (2) and an operator seat (3) which can be connected together and both having energy and/or signal coupling parts (5) and mechanical positioning coupling parts (6) that are coupled to each other by pushing together the seat (3) and terminal (2), the positioning coupling parts (6) including separately formed vertical and horizontal positioning means for orienting the seat (3) with respect to the terminal (2), the vertical positioning means (7) having a clearance in the horizontal direction transversely to the coupling and decoupling direction (24) and the horizontal positioning means (8) having a clearance (13) in the vertical direction, the vertical positioning means (7) and/or the horizontal positioning means (8) each having at least two pairs of coupling pieces (9, 10) transversely spaced apart with respect to a longitudinal center plane through the seat (3) and/or the terminal (2).

A chaise lounge includes a first frame member, a second frame member operatively connected to the first frame member and extending substantially perpendicular to the first frame member, a plurality of support members operatively connected to the first and second frame members, and an adjustable foot member positioned on each corner of the first frame member. Furthermore, a bench includes at least two frame members, the frame members each comprising a horizontal portion, a plurality of first support members operatively connected to the horizontal portion, and a plurality of second support members operatively connected to a remaining portion of the frame members positioned above the horizontal portions, wherein the remaining portion has an outwardly curved profile.

An electric glider, rocking chair and swing based on a friction pair structure, the glider comprising: a base configured for standing directly on the ground for load-bearing; a chair for bearing a user; and a friction pair installed between the base and chair and configured for providing relative movement of the base and chair.
