Mechanism for a chair
A mechanism for a chair is particularly suited for an office chair. In order to improve the sitting comfort of a chair, the mechanism has a base support to be placed on a chair column, a seat support disposed on the base support and movable in the longitudinal direction of the chair relative to the base support, and a backrest support which is connected to the seat support. The seat support includes first and second seat support elements. The second seat support element is movable transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the chair relative to the first seat support element and/or the backrest support includes first and second backrest support elements. The second backrest support element is rotatable relative to the first backrest support element about a rotational axis which lies in the longitudinal direction of the chair.

ROTATION DRIVEN FOOTREST TRANSLATION
A footrest system is disclosed. The footrest cushion is supported by a frame that is hinge-mounted onto the front of a chair frame. The rotation of the footrest frame by a user creates, through a mechanical system, rotation in a spool. The spool is wound with first and second lines, each being wound in the reverse direction as the other. The lines are connected through rerouting systems and then anchored to the translating member such that they pull the member out upon a deployment, and return the member back in when the footrest is retracted.

Furniture Member With Wall-Proximity Mechanism And Locking Trigger
A furniture member includes a base frame and a seat assembly supported by the base frame. The seat assembly includes a seat frame, a seat bottom, a seatback and a legrest. The legrest is movable relative to the base frame and seat frame between a retracted position and an extended position. The furniture member further includes a legrest mechanism attached to the legrest and the seat frame and driven by a drive rod configured to move the legrest between the retracted and extended positions in response to rotation of the drive rod. A wall-proximity mechanism is configured to translate the seat frame forward relative to the base frame. A trigger release mechanism is operable between a locked position in which a trigger limits rotation of the drive rod and a released position in which the trigger permits rotation of the drive rod.
COMPLEX SLIDING DESK SYSTEM
The present invention relates to a complex sliding desk system comprising a monitor supporting desk unit for supporting at least one monitor, wherein the monitor supporting desk unit comprises: a unit base; a column connected to the unit base; a desk plate disposed on an upper portion of the column; a monitor supporting part, disposed on the desk plate, for supporting the monitor; and a plate driving part, connected to the desk plate, for forward and rearward moving or rotating the desk plate.
ELASTIC SEESAW-TYPE TILTING MECHANISM AND SWIVEL CHAIR HAVING THE SAME
An elastic seesaw-type tilting mechanism is provided, including: a base support, configured to be connected with a chair base through a chair column; a seat support, being pivotably mounted on the base support and configured to be connected with a seat; a backrest support, being pivotably mounted on the base support and configured to be connected with a backrest; a first elastic mechanism, being connected with the seat support and the backrest support to form an elastic seesaw mechanism; a second elastic mechanism, being connected with the base support and the seat support, the second elastic mechanism and the first elastic mechanism being respectively biased against the seat support in opposite directions. A swivel chair is further provided, including: one of the elastic seesaw-type tilting mechanism as described above, a seat, a backrest, a chair column and a chair base.
Forward tilt assembly for chair seat
A forward tilt assembly configured to tilt forward a seat of a chair. The forward tilt assembly includes a base, a seat plate, and a release mechanism. The seat plate is pivotally mounted to the base and includes two support brackets on the sides of the seat plate. Each support bracket includes a keyhole slot. The release mechanism is operable between locked and unlocked positions and includes a slidable lock pin mounted between the support brackets. The release mechanism includes two keyed collars, one disposed at each end of the lock pin. The collars are received in respective keyhole slots of the support brackets. When the release mechanism is in the unlocked position, the collars are unobstructed from moving within the keyhole slots, and the seat plate can pivot relative to the base, thereby tilting a rear of the chair seat.
Systems and Methods for Providing Ergonomic Chairs
A chair for providing support to a user's spine to improve posture and for providing ways for the user to perform exercises. The chair may include a flexible connection that enables a back support to move side to side through a sidebending range of motion of the user. The back support, which may include a flexible chair spine, may be configured to adapt to the curvature of the user's spine when the user is seated in the chair. A seat of the chair may include channels and vents to improve air circulation within the seat.
