A pedicure spa may include a basin and a lift mechanism that vertically moves the basin between a raised position in a lowered position while maintaining the basin in a single orientation. The pedicure spa may additionally include a chair, wherein the lift mechanism vertically moves the basin and the chair while maintaining the basin and the chair in a single orientation. The pedicure spa may linearly translate the chair relative to the basin while the basin and the chair are in a raised position. The pedicure spa may sense an obstruction below the basin and automatically interrupt lowering of the basin.

A vehicle seat (1) is provided with a cushion frame (5) that can be moved up and down by means of a link mechanism (6). To assist the upward movement of the cushion frame (5), a torsion bar (14) is disposed in a connection pipe (12) having both ends secured to a pair of left and right rear links (11, 11). A position holding member (24) holds the torsion bar (14) and is supported by the connection pipe (12), whereby the positional shift of the axis of the torsion bar (14) is suppressed. The position holding member (24) engages an extension portion (16) extending perpendicular to the shaft portion (15), and thus, does not rotate around the axis relative to the torsion bar (14). Therefore, in the position holding member (24), portions requiring reinforcement against a transverse force from the torsion bar (14) are limited a narrow range, and the position holding member (24) can be reduced in size and weight.

A base configured to attach to a floor to support the chair system. A rigid trunk member is configured to vertically stabilize by the base, the trunk member adjustable up and down to change a height of the customer chair. The customer chair rotatably connects to and supported by the trunk member. A rigid branch member is configured to rotatably connect to the trunk member for support. The stylist chair is rotatably connected to and supported by the branch member providing a circular range of motion for the stylist chair around and independent of the customer chair. A foot control connects directly or indirectly to the rigid trunk member and positions the customer chair relative to the stylist chair.

This invention is directed to a beautification practitioner's chair capable of reclining to a substantially horizontal position and having integrated storage that may include rearwardly sliding trays and/or drawers. The beautification practitioner's chair may include a seat, a seat back, at least one arm rest, a head rest, and a leg rest. Contained below the at least one arm rest is at least one compartment that is generally enclosed on its front, sides, top, and bottom, and is generally accessible through the rear of the compartment. Contained therein may be at least one tray, at least one drawer, and/or at least one storage container. The compartment is configured to provide integrated storage in the beautification practitioner's chair, and the beautification practitioner's chair is configured such that the seat back is capable of reclining to a substantially horizontal position.

A self cleaning chair assembly for suctioning up hair as it is cut from a client includes a base, in which a vacuum module is positioned, and a chair. The chair is rotatably engaged to and is selectively extensible from the base. A tube is engaged to the chair and extends along a rear edge of a seat of the chair. A plurality of openings is positioned in the tube. An intake pipe is engaged to and extends from the vacuum module. The intake pipe extends substantially circumferentially around a lower end of the base. A plurality of apertures extends through the base and into the intake pipe. A hose is engaged to and extends between the intake pipe and the tube. The vacuum module suctions hair trimmed from the client from a surface proximate to the base, through the apertures, and from the chair, through the openings.
