Configurable ergonomic pad
An ergonomic pad includes a bladder formed of a pliable material and a granular material disposed within the bladder and at least partially filling the bladder. A port is coupled to the bladder and configured to enable evacuation of air from the bladder. The bladder also includes a sealable opening distinct from the port to add or remove the granular material.
TABLE WITH SWINGABLE STOOLS
A table includes a frame, a table top coupled to an upper portion of the frame, and a plurality of stools coupled to legs of the frame. The stools are swingable relative to the frame from a retracted-storage position to an extended use-position. The stools are arranged to engage with a surface beneath the table in the extended-use position to support a user of the table relative to the table top. The stools are arranged substantially within a perimeter of the table top in the retracted-storage position for access around the table.
MOVING VEHICLE
A moving vehicle according to the present disclosure includes a chair frame including universal casters, a sitting seat disposed above the chair frame and connected to the chair frame, and a driving unit disposed below the sitting seat and connected to the chair frame so that the driving unit can rotate about a unit connection shaft, in which the driving unit includes a driving wheel including a rotation shaft located at a position deviated from a central axis of the unit connection shaft, a velocity detection unit configured to detect a rotational velocity of the driving wheel, and a driving control unit configured to control a velocity of the driving wheel according to an external driving force applied to the driving wheel.
RETRACTABLE SEAT FOR A PERCHED POSITION
A collapsible seat having a base and configured to alternatively take a use position and a storage position wherein the seat is collapsed. The seat includes first and second modules. The first module rotates in a vertical plane having longitudinal elements forming a deformable quadrilateral. The first module is articulated about an axis of rotation mounted on a fixed support and, in the use position, at least two longitudinal elements are in surface contact blocking rotation of the first module along a direction of rotation. The second module, mobile in rotation in the same vertical plane as the first module, has a support leg for surface contact with the ground in the use position and a connecting rod fixed between the first module and the support leg. In the use position, the connecting rod and the support leg are in surface contact blocking rotation of the second module.
Ladder seat assembly
A ladder seat assembly for assuming a seated position on a ladder includes a first bracket and a second bracket that are each positionable on a respective step of the ladder. A pole is coupled to and extends downwardly from the second bracket to engage the first bracket. A seat mount is positionable around the pole such that the seat mount is centrally positioned between the first bracket and the second bracket when each of the first bracket and the second bracket are positioned on the ladder. A seat unit is removably attachable to the seat mount wherein the seat unit is configured to have the user sit thereon while the user is on the ladder thereby enhancing comfort for the user.
Chair
A chair includes a seat (2) and also includes a pair of thigh support elements (17) pivotal n a generally downwardly direction about front pivot axes (20) from a first state forming with a central seat element (15) a substantially common plane, to a second downwardly extending state. The elements (17) are also pivotal about second pivot axes in a generally rearwardly direction for urging the user's thighs away from each other for stretching the adductor muscles. Foot support members (49) extend transversely and sidewardly on respective opposite sides of the chair (1) from a support element (46) for supporting the foot during a stretching exercise with the corresponding thigh of the subject extending downwardly from the seat (14) and the lower leg extending from the knee in a upwardly inclined direction to the foot support member (49) for stretching the quadriceps and the hip flexor muscles of the subject.
Wearable chair
A wearable chair may include a foot frame configured to support a foot of a user; a shank link configured to rotatably connect to the foot frame; a connecting link provided in front of the shank link and configured to rotatably connect to the foot frame; a knee link configured to rotatably connect to each of the shank link and the connecting link; and a thigh link configured to extend from the knee link. The foot frame, the shank link, the connecting link, and the knee link constitute a four-bar linkage.
Stools, chairs, and methods using the same
An apparatus that supports a user in a variety of positions to comfortably perform tasks, such as applying one or more tattoos to skin of a subject is herein disclosed. The apparatus can be reconfigured to optimally position and support the arms and/or chest of the user. A method for using a stool can involve rotating armrests of the apparatus from a stowed position to a deployed position. The armrests can support the user's forearms while supporting the user's chest such that the user can comfortably perform tasks in front of a chest support of the stool.
