The lounge may include a frame configured as a rigid frame, a modular frame, and combinations thereof. The modular frame may further include a tri-cable suspension. The tri-cable suspension may be attached to a dilator retractor mechanism. The modules may be a mushroom cap module, a spider spring module, a web module, a lighting module, an electronics module, and combinations thereof.

The disclosed technology includes tiered void cells which provide protection, comfort, and stability during compression. The tiered void cells may be arranged in vertically stacked columns and include a stroke whereby tiers of a void cell can telescope into adjacent tiers of that void cell, as well as telescope into adjacent tiers of adjacent void cells in a column. Implementations described and claimed herein include a cushioning system comprising an array of tiered void cells, wherein each tiered void cell includes a base portion, a plunger portion, the plunger portion to collapse into the base portion under compression of the cushioning system, and a living hinge elastically connecting an inner perimeter of the base portion to an outer perimeter of the plunger portion.

An elastic pad for furniture can be customized and assembled by a user. The elastic pad includes an outer cover, an elastic module layer and at least one elastic pad layer. A side enclosure of the outer cover is detachably connected with a top cover body, and the side enclosure is detachably connected with the bottom cover body. The elastic pad is configured to allow a user to select a desired type and/or a desired number of elastic module layers and elastic pad layers, and to further select the side enclosure based on a thickness of the elastic module layer and elastic pad layer, and assemble the top cover body, the bottom cover body, the selected side enclosure, and the selected elastic module layers and elastic pad layers together to obtain the elastic pad.

A detachable elastic pad for furniture includes a flexible cover and a plurality of elastic modules. The elastic modules are mounted in an array on rail beams on a bottom layer. Each elastic module includes a conical spring and a spring bracket for receiving and holding the conical spring. The detachable elastic pad can be disassembled and reassembled, to replace components.

A balance board is provided. The balance board is flatly laid on one or more spring modules, and multiple springs are arranged to define the one or more spring modules. Upper ends of the multiple springs are configured to swing in a lateral direction, and the balance board comprises multiple monoboards shaped in strips. The multiple monoboards shaped in strips are connected by a flexible material.

It is a feature of a use of an elastic polymer for production of a porous body (in an additive manufacturing method that the porous body comprises a three-dimensional network of node points joined to one another by struts, and a void volume present between the struts, where the struts have an average length of 200 m to 50 mm and the struts (100) have an average thickness of 100 m to 5 mm. The polymer here is an elastomer selected from the following group: thermoset polyurethane elastomers (PUR), thermoplastic copolyamides (TPA), thermoplastic copolyesters (TPC), thermoplastic olefin-based elastomers (TPO), styrene block copolymers (TPS), thermoplastic urethane-based elastomers (TPU), crosslinked thermoplastic olefin-based elastomers (TPV), thermoplastic polyvinyl chloride-based elastomers (PVC), thermoplastic silicone-based elastomers and a combination of at least two of these elastomers.

It is a feature of a porous body comprising a three-dimensional network of node points joined to one another by struts, and a void volume present between the struts, that the struts have an average length of 200 m to 50 mm, the struts have an average thickness of 100 m to 5 mm, and that the porous body has a compression hardness (40% compression, DIN EN ISO 3386-1: 2010-09) in at least one spatial direction of 10 to 100 kPa. The porous body according to the invention combines the advantages of a conventional mattress or cushion with ventilatability which results from its porous structure and is not achievable in conventional foams. The invention further relates to a method of producing such a porous body and to an apparatus comprising said body for supporting and/or bearing a person.

Mattresses including a chassis core including a rigid or semi-rigid base sheet; a plurality of flat springs spaced apart from one another in parallel rows, wherein each one of the plurality of flat springs comprises a first terminal end, a second terminal end, and a flexible arcuate member extending from the first terminal end to the second terminal end, and wherein a center of an arc defined by the arcuate member is fixedly attached to the rigid base sheet; a body support disk disposed on each one of the first and second terminal ends. The body support disk supports the load of an individual. In some embodiments, the body support disk is pivotably connected to each terminal end.

An apparatus is provided which makes a border wire having a rectangular cross-section. The apparatus is adapted to receive a roll of wire having a circular cross-section, straighten the wire and change the cross-section of the wire to rectangular. The reconfigured wire is then accumulated, passed through another straightener, cut to size and then bent into a rectangular configuration. Opposed ends of the piece of wire having a rectangular cross-section are welded together to complete the border wire. The apparatus has an ejector which removes the completed border wire from the apparatus.

An elastic module is provided. The elastic module comprises multiple pre-compressed springs, the multiple pre-compressed springs contact or are adjacent to each other, upper ends of the multiple pre-compressed springs are separated, middle parts of the multiple pre-compressed springs comprise one or more connection members, and middle parts of side surfaces of a front row and a rear row of two adjacent rows of the multiple pre-compressed springs are connected together.
