An apparatus that supports a person in a variety of positions so that a tattoo artist can comfortably apply a tattoo to the skin of the supported person is herein disclosed. The apparatus can be articulated to cause a person's legs and arms to be optimally positioned and supported to receive a tattoo.

The invention relates to a chair for accommodating a person. The chair includes an upper body section having an upper body contact surface adapted or adaptable to at least parts of a front of a torso or a rear of a torso of a person placed on the chair, and a lower body section having a lower body contact surface adapted or adaptable to at least parts of at least a front of a thigh of the person, wherein the upper body section and the lower body section are arranged or arrangeable and fixable in a position relative to each other such that the upper body contact surface and the lower body contact surface cause a hyperextension posture of the hip joint of the person with a predetermined hyperextension angle. By forming the hyperextension angle of the hip on the chair, shortening of the anterior thigh and hip muscles can be counteracted. Also disclosed are a pressing device for application to the human body, which is adapted for use on a chair and which includes one or more pressure units each having at least one pressure head adapted to apply local or point pressure at a predetermined pressure location on the body of a person accommodated on the chair, and a chair having such a pressing device.

A chair includes a frame unit including a seat frame, a leg rest that is pivotally mounted to the seat frame, and a rest adjusting mechanism that is connected between the leg rest and the seat frame. The rest adjusting mechanism is convertible between an unlocked state, where the leg rest is permitted to pivot relative to the seat frame, and a locked state, where the leg rest is not permitted to pivot relative to the seat frame.

A chair support assembly is provided which can comprise a bracket assembly having a horizontal bracket and a vertical bracket, the vertical bracket extending from the horizontal bracket at a substantially perpendicular orientation relative to the vertical bracket, and an adjustable arm telescopically coupled to the horizontal bracket, the adjustable arm slideably moveable in a longitudinal direction of the chair support assembly. The chair support assembly can also comprise a shin support assembly slideably coupled to the vertical bracket, the shin support assembly including a shin rest that is sized and shaped to rest against a shin of a user. Related methods of use are also provided.

A chair having a chair back with an enlarged and curved seating surface is described. The raised seating surface has a front to back dimension (depth) substantially similar to its left to right dimension (width) approximately 0.80 meters. The seating surface is further curved upwardly on the left and right sides relative to the front to back center of the seating surface. In one variation, the radius of curvature pertaining to the curve is approximately 1.0 meters.

A reclining chair assembly includes a reclining chair that has a backrest portion and a chair portion for having a user sit therein. A pair of footrests is each disposed on the chair portion of the reclining chair and each of the footrests is positionable in a lowered position or a raised position to raise the respective user's leg. Moreover, the pair of footrests is independently positionable in the raised position to facilitate one of the user's legs to be lifted while the other of the user's legs is not lifted. A pair of lifting units is each in mechanical communication with a respective one of the pair of footrests. Each of the lifting units independently urges the respective footrest into the raised position or the lowered position.

A convertible sofa bed system positionable on a floor. The convertible sofa bed system includes a back support assembly having a frame, and a back cushion assembly connected with the back support assembly and movable between a raised condition and a lowered condition thereof. The system also includes one or more body modules secured to the frame. The body module includes an at least partially planar top surface positionable at a predetermined elevation above the floor. The body module is formed to cooperate with the back cushion assembly in the raised condition to define a seating configuration, and to cooperate with the back cushion assembly in the lowered condition to define a sleeping configuration.

A sport chair includes a seating surface operative to support a user and a processor. The processor is configured to detect the presence of a user on the seating surface, establish communication with an article of apparel on the body of the user, receive an indication of a physiological parameter of the user from a biometric sensor provided with the article of apparel, and output the physiological parameter to a display.

A chair includes a frame unit including a seat frame, a leg rest that is pivotally mounted to the seat frame, and a rest adjusting mechanism that is connected between the leg rest and the seat frame. The rest adjusting mechanism is convertible between an unlocked state, where the leg rest is permitted to pivot relative to the seat frame, and a locked state, where the leg rest is not permitted to pivot relative to the seat frame.
