A seat shell includes a one-piece shaped wooden shell which has a seat part and a backrest part and which in its transition region has a bent portion bent along a bending axis. The shaped wooden shell has a veneer structure including at least nine wood layers glued on top of each other. The wood layers include a top layer at each of the front and rear of the shaped wooden shell, respectively, the top layer made of a wood layer is arranged in the longitudinal direction. The wood layers also include between the top layers a number of middle and outer wood layers arranged in the longitudinal or transverse direction. The shaped wooden shell is upholstered, and has a transversely extending cutout defined by bars at the edge in the transition region and/or the backrest part.

A furniture system has a longitudinally extending member (2), a component (4) comprising a mounting member (10) and a component mounting system for mounting the component (4) on the longitudinally extending member (2). The component mounting system includes a support member (7), a clamp member (11) and a fixing member (12). In use, the support member (7) is adapted to be located between the component (4) and the longitudinally extending member (2). The fixing member (12) extends through the clamp member (11) and the support member (7) to engage with the component mounting member (10). Engaging the fixing member (12) with the component mounting member (10) causes the clamp member (11) to engage with an engagement formation (24) on the longitudinally extending member (2) to clamp the support member (7) between the longitudinally extending member (2) and the component (4) to mount the component (4) on the longitudinally extending member (2).

A modular base system is provided that allows easy installation and maintenance in a row of motion seating units. Arms are easily removable from a base assembly. The base assembly also provides structure allowing easy installation and removal of the motion mechanism. The base assembly also allows easy installation and removal of a back panel. The motion mechanism includes a pivotal seat frame attachment allowing the seat to be pivoted upwardly, from the front of the mechanism.

Disclosed herein are a sway-yaw motion device and a chair assembly with the same, which can provide an audience with various motion effects by moving a motion chair by various degrees of freedom. The sway-yaw motion device and the chair assembly can additionally provide various motions on the plane by adding a swaying motion, which is a linear motion on the plane, and a yawing motion, which is a rotary motion on the plane, to a pitching motion, a rolling motion and a heaving motion, which are provided generally. Particularly, the present invention relates to a sway-yaw motion device and a chair assembly with the same, which can provide swaying and yawing effects at the same time according to actuation of a driving part, for instance, according to an angle control of a crank arm, as well as provide the swaying motion and the yawing motion individually.

Disclosed is a collapsible and foldable portable bench having a number of flexible seats that are aligned side-by-side one another upon which a corresponding number of individuals can be seated. The seats are attached to and held up by respective frames that are pivotally connected together by C-shaped couplers to enable the frames to rotate relative to one another and the bench to be moved between axially expanded (i.e., straight line), folded (i.e., curved) and collapsed (i.e., compressed) configurations in response to pulling, pushing and bending forces applied thereto. In its collapsed configuration, the bench has a compact size that is suitable for storage or transport in a backpack or inside the hatch of a motor vehicle. To facilitate the manipulation of the bench from one configuration to another, a flexible triangular web is attached between each pair of adjacent seats.

A kinesthetic device with different seating orientations comprises a base unit, an actuator unit, a platform unit, and a seat unit. The base unit includes a base seat. The actuator unit includes an actuator module disposed on the base seat. The platform unit includes a platform body disposed on the actuator module. The seat unit includes plural seats disposed at the edge of the platform body, wherein the orientations of the plural seats are different, so that it can have the plural seats provide with different kinesthesia.

A tilt mechanism for a weight-responsive seating furniture comprises a backrest support, a first lever and a second lever. The backrest support is configured for coupling to a backrest and is pivotably mounted. The first lever has a mount structure for coupling the first lever to a seat. The first lever is pivotably mounted at a first pivot axis. The second lever is pivotably attached to the backrest support at a second pivot axis and is coupled to the first lever by a coupling mechanism to pivot the first lever about the first pivot axis when the backrest support pivots relative to the carrier.

An in-airport guitar kiosk and related methods for allowing air travelers an opportunity to relax and play guitar before or after flights (to improve the passenger journey) as well as the opportunity to try a novel travel guitar uniquely suited for air travel.

A support platform for a furniture unit includes a plurality of support arms that each terminate in a corner pocket. The corner pocket supports a furniture leg end and contains the leg end within the platform perimeter. The platform defines a foundation support surface that may include cleats or anti-skid cushion pads to enhance friction with the foundation surface.

Disclosed is a modular seat for aircraft. The system has a frame that is able to be interconnected with other frames laterally. Since each lateral frame has the same pivot points (when viewed from the side), the linked seats rotate together. The seats also include buckle lugs which enable a particular seat to be used on either side of the aircraft.
