A method for correcting a massage position and a massage chair for performing the same includes allowing a shoulder height measurement module to measure a shoulder height of a user, allowing a hip bone position prediction module to predict a hip bone position through a preset prediction method by using the shoulder height measured by the shoulder height measurement module, allowing a massage position determination module to determine a plurality of determination massage positions and a plurality of correction massage positions spaced from the determination massage positions by a predetermined distance on the basis of the hip bone position predicted by the hip bone position prediction module, and allowing a massage ball assembly control module to control a massage ball assembly so as to massage the determination massage positions and the correction massage positions determined by the massage position determination module.

An inflatable structure includes a top end cap, a bottom end cap, a bladder, a nozzle, a loop, and a first tether. The bladder is attached to the top and bottom end caps and is configured to hold pressurized fluid therebetween. The nozzle is configured to allow fluid to enter and exit the bladder. The loop is attached to one of the top and bottom end caps. A tether is disposed within the bladder, coupled to the other one of the top and bottom end caps, and extends through the at least one loop. The top end cap assumes a first position when the bladder is inflated. When the top end cap is adjusted from the first position to a second position, the first tether is configured to maintain the top end cap in the second position.

Furniture entertainment hubs are disclosed that are integrated in a piece of furniture to conveniently control the piece of furniture, while at the same time providing a convenient means of communicating with and charging a remote smart device such as a smart phone or tablet. The entertainment hubs can be in many different locations in the piece of furniture, with some embodiments embedded in an armrest with the hub having a touch screen accessible at the top surface of the armrest. The entertainment hub provides a sleek, aesthetic and easy to mechanism for controlling the chair/sofa and interfacing with remote devices. One embodiment of an entertainment hub for a seating apparatus comprising a body with a plurality of planar surfaces, wherein one of said plurality of surfaces comprises a substantially flat control panel. The control panel comprises a plurality of visual touch buttons, a remote device wireless charging pad, and a speaker. Wherein said body is arranged to be mounted in a piece of piece of furniture with most of the body embedded in said piece of furniture with said control panel being visible and accessible.

The present application relates to a shop chair with a seat cushion supported by a strong, light-weight base assembly with an elevated central hub that threadably receives a central column to adjust the height of the seat cushion. The base includes several vertically oriented thin plate legs that extend radially outward and downward from a central hub. The outer ends of the legs are joined by a stabilizing ring with a diameter larger than the seat cushion. Oversized caster wheels and the large footprint of the base provide a stable work platform. The seat cushion can be selectively lowered until the bottom of the central post is proximal to or contacts the ground. The chair and its base are particularly suited for work done closer to the ground.

A tilting seat for operators in a controlled environment, particularly for surgeons and the like, comprising a saddle, a chest support, a forehead support and a leg support connected to a base standing on the ground, such that the saddle, the chest support, the forehead support and the leg support are integrally movable with rotation about a horizontal-axis joint placed below the saddle, keeping the space over the joint free from movable elements while in use, guaranteeing the substantial lack of contamination in such space.
