A back portion is provided and has a lower end, an upper end, and a pair of opposing side edges. The lower end of the back portion connects to the rear end of the seating portion. A pair of lateral support arm assemblies is provided, each having an inner surface and an outer surface, with each of the pair of lateral support arm assemblies having a first arm connector component which is releasably connectable to the seating connector component. The lateral support arm assemblies comprise an armrest portion and a leg portion, with the leg portion supporting the modular furniture seating item when it is an assembled condition.

A multi-positional chair assembly comprises a frame portion defined by a pair of sinuously-shaped bars. The frame portion includes a back support section, a middle section, and a buttocks support section. A panel provides a supportive surface for a user. The panel may include a metal sheet, apertures, or parallel strips of material. The frame portion can be positioned in multiple positions to provide a sitting surface, including a lounge chair position and a higher elevated stool position. The chair assembly reconfigures between the lounge chair position and the stool position through rotation. Rotating the buttocks support section and the legs to engage the ground surface achieves the lounge chair position. And rotating the back support section and the legs to engage the ground surface achieves the stool position. The chair may be of a one-piece injection-molded construction.

A recliner (1), including a reclining surface (2) and a substructure (3) that can be set on a base and supports the reclining surface (2), the substructure (3) including at least one stand (4) and at least one spring element (5) that is positioned between the stand (4) and the reclining surface (2), the reclining surface (2) being mounted on the spring element (5), the spring element (5) elastically pretensioning the reclining surface (2) in the direction (6) leading away from the stand (4), and the reclining surface (2), when unloaded, being held in an elastically pretensioned manner by a limiting element (7) of the recliner (1).

A folding chair includes front and rear supports that fold and/or retract into central beams to reduce the space occupied by the chair in a folded configuration. A backrest is coupled to the central beams with a hub that allows an angle of the backrest relative to the central beams to be selected and for the backrest to be folded flat relative to the central beams. One or more actuators and pin actuators may control the relative movements of the backrest, front support, rear support, and central beams.

A method and system for reserving seating at a venue using a band system associated with rentable seating, the band system comprising a retractable band, controller, user interface, and sensors to detect band position or tampering or unauthorized use of the seating. A closed position indicates the seating may be available for rental, subject to prior reservations, and an open position indicates the seating is not available for rental. Requested reservations or rental time are compared to prior reservations to determine if seating is available for rental. An alert is initiated if tampering or unauthorized use is detected or a rental period ends and the band is still in the open position. Optionally, goods or services may be ordered by a user renting seating, orders and alerts monitored, and a user's rental activity may be tracked for rewards or limitation purposes.

A seat occupancy indicator device and method; the seat occupancy indicator device includes a housing made of a rigid material (the housing has a housing-exterior and a housing-interior-volume); a plurality of indicator lights, the plurality of indicator lights disposed on the housing-exterior, the plurality of indicator lights viewable from a location outside of the housing; a control-circuit, the control-circuit located within the housing-interior-volume, the control-circuit communicatively coupled to the plurality of indicator lights. The seat occupancy indicator is useful for indicating occupancy of a seat.

A multifunctional folding chair and wheeled cart system and kit includes a multifunctional folding chair that easily convert into a fully unfolded configuration of a flat bed, a partially folded configuration of a reclining lounger, an upright lounger, a short beach chair, and a regular chair, and a fully folded configuration. The system also includes at least one multifunctional wheeled chair that includes, in addition to the configurations of the multifunctional folding chairs, a partially folded configuration of a wheeled cart. The multifunctional wheeled chair, in the wheeled cart configuration, is configured to hold and transport the plurality of multifunctional folding chairs in the folded configuration.

A solar charged beach chair assembly includes a beach chair that is comprised of a fluid impermeable material. Thus, the beach chair can be employed at a beach or other environment with water. The beach chair includes a pair of arm rests and a back rest portion, and each of the arm rests has a storage well therein. A pair of doors is each hingedly coupled to a respective one of the arm rests. Each of the doors is aligned with the storage well in the respective arm rest for closing the storage well. A plurality of charge ports is each recessed into a respective one of the arm rests. Each of the charge ports can have an electronic device plugged therein. A power supply is provided and the power supply is coupled to the beach chair. Each of the light emitters, the speakers and the charge ports is electrically coupled to the power supply.

An adjustable fully upholstered chaise recliner is provided. The chaise comprises a stationary outer frame coupled to a platform. The platform is configured to move between a first position and a second position while the outer frame remains stationary. A cushion is coupled to the platform and is fully upholstered to the platform such that a cover material encloses the cushion and the platform. Movement of the platform causes one or more bending portions of the cushion to bend. The chaise further comprises one or more cords, each extending through the cushion with a first end coupled to the cover material and a second end coupled to the platform. The cords are configured to pull on the cover material such that movement of the platform from the first position to the second position does not result in bunching of the cover material near the bending portions of the cushion.

A single-person chair includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a generally convex central portion extending between the proximal end and the distal end. The central portion extends upwardly, forming a first pool between the proximal end and the central portion and a second pool between the distal end and the central portion. A backrest is releasably connectable to the proximal end. A longitudinal centerline extends between the proximal end and the distal end. A first sidewall extends between the proximal end and the distal end on a first side of the longitudinal centerline and a second sidewall extends between the proximal end and the distal end on a second side of the longitudinal centerline. A liquid can be contained within the chair between the proximal end, the distal end, the first sidewall, and the second sidewall.
