An apparatus that supports a person in a variety of positions so that a tattoo artist can comfortably apply a tattoo to the skin of the supported person is herein disclosed. The apparatus can be articulated to cause a person's legs and arms to be optimally positioned and supported to receive a tattoo.

A height adjusting mechanism for a dentistry stool comprises a support member, a movable height adjusting assembly and a pushbutton actuator. The support member is coupleable to the stool adjacent a seat of the stool. The movable height adjusting assembly is selectively movable up and down relative to the support member. The pushbutton actuator is positionable on a side of the movable height adjusting assembly adjacent a seated user, and is manually actuatable by the seated user to release the movable height adjusting assembly from a locked position at a current height to allow the movable height adjusting assembly to be moved to a new height. The height adjusting mechanism can be implemented to provide a height-adjustable seat back and/or a height-adjustable torso bar.

A leg rest apparatus is provided. A leg rest panel is configured to be adjusted between a deployed position and a stored position. The apparatus includes a lift link that articulates a rear end and a front end rotatably coupled to the seat and the leg rest panel, respectively. A link base with a rear end fixed to the seat is separated from the lift link and a front end is disposed toward a front side of the seat. A front guide link with a front end and a rear end is rotatably connected to a first coupling portion of the leg rest panel and the link base, respectively. A rear guide link with a length less than the front guide link and a front end and a rear end rotatably connected to a second coupling portion separated from the first coupling portion and the link base, respectively.

A specially designed seat assembly allows a user to sit in lotus style meditation position while meditating. The seat assembly positions and elevates the user in order to provide comfort while holding the user in the correct position. The seat assembly can provide dual level support through an upper platform and lower platform. The seat assembly is specially shaped in order to conform to the contours of the user. The knees are elevated by the upper platform, and the feet and ankles are drawn inward and supported from the ground by the lower platform. The user is held in a traditional lotus style seating position. The seat assembly allows for the user to remain in a relaxed state, free from discomfort. The seat assembly is supported by a metal skeleton, which prevents the seat assembly from becoming deformed upon repeated use. The seat assembly has a cushion formed around the metal skeleton, which is stable, yet comfortable for the user.

A footrest device for armchairs or sofas has two footrest panels, which have substantially the same width, and are movable under the thrust of a crank mechanism between an extracted operating position, in which the two footrest panels project from the front of a support frame, and a retracted rest position, in which the two footrest panels substantially overlap one another.

In an arm support apparatus, an weight attachment is provided for at least one specified link in links of a support member supporting a mount to be movable based on rotation of at least one of the links around a corresponding at least one of the joints. The at least one specified link is associated with at least one specified degree of freedom. The weight attachment is configured such that one or more weight members are attachable thereto. When the one or more weight members are attached to the weight attachment, the weight attachment is configured to substantially balance in weight with the mount on which the part of the arm is mounted while applying supporting force to the part of the arm mounted on the mount.

Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing seat lifting. In various embodiments, a seat lifter might include one or more first pistons, one or more second pistons, and a seat portion. The one or more first pistons, when actuated (e.g., in response to user input), might cause a rear portion of the seat portion to lift relative to a front portion of the seat portion, the rear portion of the seat portion being lifted by a first height above a seat to which the seat lifter is affixed. The one or more second pistons, when actuated, might cause the front portion of the seat portion to lift by a second height above the seat, the second height being less than the first height. In some instances, the first pistons and the second pistons might be actuated serially (in either order), or might be actuated concurrently.

An Anti-Ballistic chair having a back portion, a seat portion, and an Anti-Ballistic panel within at least one of the back portion, and the seat portion, wherein the Anti-Ballistic portion comprises at least a first layer of Anti-Ballistic material formed from high-strength synthetic fibers extending in a first direction, and at least a second layer of Anti-Ballistic material formed from high-strength synthetic fibers extending in a second direction, different from the first direction.

The present invention relates to an adjustable chair (10) comprising: a seat base (12) defining a seating surface portion (14) for receiving a user thereon in use, the seat base (12) comprising an integral seat back engagement portion (20) for engaging with a portion of a seat back (16), a seat front portion (40) opposing the seat back engagement portion (20), a first seat side portion and a second seat side portion opposing the first seat side portion, each of the first and second seat side portions located between the seat back engagement portion (20) and the seat front portion (40) and extending substantially transverse to the seat surface portion (14); and a seat back (16) having a seat base engagement portion (18) dimensioned to slidably engage with the seat back engagement portion (20) to form a seat back adjustment mechanism, wherein the seat back adjustment mechanism is located adjacent at least one of the first and second seat side portions and wherein the seat back adjustment mechanism is movable between a first locked configuration in which the seat back (16) and seat base (12) are fixed relative to one another and the seating surface portion (14) has a fixed surface area, and a second released configuration in which the seat back (16) is slidable relative to the seat base (12) to vary the surface area of the seating surface portion (14). Also provided is such a chair with an adjustable footrest (22) to vary the distance between the seat base (12) and the footplate (54) and/or to vary the angle between the seat base (12) and the footrest (22).

A hanging basket chair includes a base, a hanging rod, a hanging basket, and a sunshade roof. The hanging rod is mounted on the base in a matched way. The hanging basket is hung on the hanging rod. The sunshade roof covers an upper end of the hanging basket and is mounted on the base or the hanging rod in a matched way. The sunshade roof is provided and capable of providing a sunshade function for a user; and a connecting assembly is provided for mounting the sunshade roof.
