A quickly released and fastened adjustment mechanism including a gasket, a first ratchet, a second ratchet, a T-shaped sleeve and a fastener is installed between a sliding member and a fixing member. The first and second ratchets are arranged with annular teeth respectively while the two annular teeth are engaged. The T-shaped sleeve is mounted in the first and second ratchets and against the gasket. The fastener is passed through the T-shaped sleeve, the gasket and the sliding member to be secured on the fixing member. Thus the two corresponding annular teeth are engaged firmly. The height difference between low-level and high-level engagement of the two annular teeth is H.sub.f. The sleeved height of the T-shaped sleeve is D.sub.1. The total height of the first and second ratchets in the low-level engagement is D.sub.2. D.sub.1>D.sub.2. D.sub.1−D.sub.2=G>0 and H.sub.f>G>0.

Disclosed are methods and systems for monitoring and correcting sitting posture of a user and for discouraging sedentary behavior. The system comprises a processor, a portable seat cover with embedded pressure sensors and an angle sensor, a notification device, and a non-transitory storage medium for storing program code. The program code, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to initiate an idleness timer to count how long the user has been sitting, monitor the user's sitting posture by receiving real-time sensor measurements; identify a sitting posture by applying a posture identification rule, generate a posture correction notification through the notification device if the identified sitting posture is not ergonomically correct, determine whether a sedentary threshold has been reached and generate a stand notification if the sedentary threshold has been reached. Embodiments of the present invention help improve sitting posture and reduce sedentary behavior to minimize associated adverse health effects.

The invention relates to an adjustable and dismountable arm rest, to allow a person to rest their arms for extended periods of time, in order to provide the arm with stability when holding objects that require precision such as binoculars, photography cameras, video cameras or other equipment and/or accessories, of a determined weight which tires the arm while observing in inhospitable areas in order to capture the behaviour of a determined event, for example a flower opening, the behaviour of animals, inter alia. The arm rest according to the invention comprises only 5 elements that can be assembled and disassembled: a first vertical post and a second vertical post which are fixed temporarily at the upper end thereof to a first horizontal crossmember, and the lower end of both vertical posts is temporarily fixed to a second horizontal crossmember. The first and second horizontal crossmembers consist of a rectangular prismatic body, the widest section of which is arranged perpendicular to the vertical posts, and has, on each end, an assembly of perforations that pass through the thickness thereof, are at an equal distance from each other, and are coincident in terms of the number thereof. The first crossmember has two grooves in the centre, parallel to the length thereof, and the second horizontal crossmember has one groove in the centre, via which grooves a strap is inserted, which allows temporary fastening between the horizontal crossmembers when the support is assembled.

A rest component (14), (16) for an article of furniture (10) includes a body member (32) defining a plurality of surfaces (34). A cover member (36) is carried by at least one surface (34) of the body member (32) to define a pocket (38) associated with the at least one surface (34), the pocket (38) defining a mouth to enable a user to gain access to an interior of the pocket (38). At least one passage (24) is defined by at least one of the body member (32) and the cover member (36) and opening out into the pocket (38). The passage (24) is configured to accommodate an elongate element which extends through the passage to exit from an operatively bottom region of the body member.
