A body support structure includes a frame and a membrane attached to the frame. The membrane includes elastomeric filaments. The membrane includes different regions with different stiffness. The membrane may form a part of a seat or a backrest.

A piece of seating furniture having a base framework and having a seat surface fastened to the base framework, wherein the base framework has a plurality of legs, on the underside of each of which there is fastened an adjusting slider, characterized in that at least two of the adjusting sliders are of two-part design, each having a holding magnet arranged on a leg of the base framework and each having an adjusting slider cup which can be fixed to a floor, with a cup receptacle of a ferromagnetic material as an adhesive base, wherein the cup receptacle and the holding magnet can be placed one inside the other in a shape-adapted manner, for which purpose the holding magnet is fastened to the respective leg in an angularly movable manner.

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 connecting table Tete-A-Tete system in one embodiment includes a connecting table with two arm receptacle portions each configured to removably receive an arm of a respective seat. The system includes a coupling bar movable between a first position whereat the arms can be inserted into or removed from the respective arm receptacle portions and a second position whereat the arms cannot be inserted into or removed from the respective arm receptacle portions.

A chair having a first frame portion with a backrest support and a rear leg portion at least part of the backrest support and the leg portion being formed from a single piece. A second frame portion has a seat support and a front leg portion extending in a direction transverse to the seat support, the seat support in a fixed position relative to the backrest support. The backrest support molded thereover in foam, the backrest support being substantially peripherally located around the foam of the backrest and the backrest being provided free from rigid supports extending across a middle portion of the backrest. The seat support molded thereover in foam, the seat support being substantially peripherally located around the foam of the seat and the seat being provided free from rigid supports extending across a middle portion of the seat.

Device for linking bodily movement to learning behaviour, whereby this device (1) consists of a number of objects that can be used by pupils as flexible adjustable seating units (2), characterised in that these seating units are each equipped with a digital module (4) that is able to detect movements of the seating unit caused by the pupils, and to communicate these movements wirelessly to a central teaching module (3), after which the central teaching module (3) can wirelessly send back an individual message to each of the seating units (2), adapted to the movement that is made with each of the seating units.

A linking system for folding chairs and a method for linking folding chairs in rows. The linking system includes a first linking member having two spaced-apart, u-shaped first recesses on a first side thereof and a slit on each end thereof, wherein each slit is parallel to an axis defined by the u-shaped recesses; a second linking member having two spaced-apart, u-shaped second recesses on a second side thereof and two spaced-apart, u-shaped third recesses on a third side thereof, wherein the u-shaped third recesses are spaced further apart than the second recesses and the third side is orthogonal to the second side; and a third linking member having two spaced-apart, u-shaped fourth recesses on a fourth side thereof. The first, second and third linking members are configured to snappingly engage tubular members of adjacent folding chairs.

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.

A portable lumbar support and ergonomic chair having a lumbar support. The lumbar support has a seat hingedly coupled to a seat back having a teardrop-shaped lumbar support seat back cushion. A rigid back support portion may be rotated forward about hinges to collapse substantially parallel to the seat frame and backward to open to a variety of angles with respect to the seat frame. The seat back freely pivots around an upper lateral axis, and the rigid back support portion is linearly adjustable to space the seat back toward and away from the hinges to enable raising or lowering the upper lateral axis and thus the seat back with respect to the lower lateral axis. This provides multiple ways of changing which part of the teardrop-shaped lumbar support curve hits your lumbar curve for proper support. Variable lumbar lordotic support is thus provided.

A sliding, pivoting and recliner sitting mechanism for chair and bench enables a seated user to transition between an upright position and a reclined position. To accomplish this the sitting mechanism has a seat platform, a back frame, a cushion, a backrest, and an adjustable leg assembly. Seat platform and the backrest are connected to form an L-shaped frame. The backrest is pivotably connected in between the back frame and the cushion so that angular displacement of the backrest can be used to linearly displace the cushion along the seat platform. The adjustable leg assembly is mounted beneath the seat platform and enables the user to modify the height of the cushion. Accordingly, the sitting mechanism can be used by individuals of varying shape and size.
