An armrest has a base element, an arm-support element movable in a direction on the base element between a pair of end positions, a mount fixed on one of the elements and formed with a throughgoing hole extending in the direction, and a rod fixed on the other of the elements and extending along an axis with play through the hole of the mount. A pair of inelastic slide-bearing rings fixed in the hole at ends thereof loosely surrounds the rod. A respective elastic bearing block fixed in and relative to each of the rings presses the rod radially against a diametrally opposite inner-surface portion of the respective ring.

A body support assembly includes a seat assembly and backrest assembly supported by a tilt control assembly. Methods of using and assembling the body support assembly are provided.

A backrest portion supported, such as to be pivotable around an axis extending along its width direction center line, by a base, a left arm holding portion projecting forward from a left side portion of the backrest portion and supported, such as to be pivotable up and down around its base end portion, by the backrest portion, a right arm holding portion projecting forward from a right side portion of the backrest portion and supported, such as to be pivotable up and down around its base end portion, by the backrest portion, a left leg holding portion extending downward from a vicinity of a left side portion of a front edge of a seat portion at a front side of the base and supported, such as to be pivotable up and down around its upper end portion, by the base, and a right leg holding portion extending downward from a vicinity of a right side portion of the front edge of the seat portion at the front side of the base and supported, such as to be pivotable up and down around its upper end portion, by the base are included.

A console mounted armrest includes an adjustable post to raise and lower the armrest, and a linkage. The linkage defines the tilt of the armrest with respect to the post. A single control mechanism controls the motion of the post, and thereby also controls the tilt of the armrest to maintain a desirable orientation with respect to the sidestick. The control mechanism defines multiple positive lock-out positions with respect to the post such that the control mechanism will always engage one of the positive lock-out positions.

A pivot fitting for moveable furniture parts on upholstered furniture has a first lever and a second lever that are mounted to as to pivot relative to each other about a common axis from a basic position through a predetermined angle. The pivot fitting also includes a clamping mechanism with which the two levers can be fixed relative to each other at different angular positions within the predetermined angle, the clamping mechanism has a toothing attached in a rotationally fixed manner on the second lever, at least one catch that is pivotally mounted on the first lever and loaded in the direction of the toothing, the catch engaging with the toothing in a detent position. A first control disc is mounted so as to pivot about the common axis, with which the at least one catch is disengageable from the toothing when the predetermined angle has been passed from the basic position into an adjusting direction, such that when the catch is disengaged from the toothing, the two levers can be pivoted back into the basic position when the predetermined angle is passed in a resetting direction. The first control disc can be carried by the toothing, resting thereon with a friction fit, and is mounted so as to pivot about a switching angle relative to the first lever and wherein a second control disc mounted so as to pivot about the common axis can be carried by the toothing and is mounted so as to pivot about a switching angle relative to the toothing.

The control disc can be carried by the toothing, resting thereon with a friction fit, and is mounted so as to pivot about a switching angle relative to the first lever.

The present disclosure provides a chair with a rotatable armrest, comprising a seat body, which is provided with an armrest, a backrest and a rotating member; wherein the backrest is arranged at a position on one end portion of the seat body, the rotating member is fixed on one end of the seat body near the backrest, the armrest is rotatablely connected with the seat body through the rotating member, and the armrest is capable of rotating roughly horizontally with respect to the seat body. According to the present disclosure, a user can leave the chair from one side of the seat body, moreover, when the user is leaving the chair, the rotated armrest can still provide help for the user.

The present invention relates to the furniture field, in particular outdoor furniture; even more particularly, it relates to a kit configuration of a sofa, armchair, chair or similar item of garden furniture or interior furniture and the relative mounting method.

An adjustable armrest includes a post and an armrest body. A sliding member is coupled to the post and has a non-circular contour on a horizontal plane. The armrest body receives a sliding seat. The sliding seat includes a track extending in a length direction. The sliding member is received in the track. The armrest body is movable relative to the post. The track includes a first section and a second section interconnected to the first section. The first and second sections are arranged in the length direction. The first section extends along a rectilinear line. The second section extends along a non-rectilinear line.

A sliding, pivoting and recliner sitting mechanism for chair and bench enables a seated user to transition between an upright position and a reclined position. To accomplish this the sitting mechanism has a seat platform, a back frame, a cushion, a backrest, and an adjustable leg assembly. Seat platform and the backrest are connected to form an L-shaped frame. The backrest is pivotably connected in between the back frame and the cushion so that angular displacement of the backrest can be used to linearly displace the cushion along the seat platform. The adjustable leg assembly is mounted beneath the seat platform and enables the user to modify the height of the cushion. Accordingly, the sitting mechanism can be used by individuals of varying shape and size.
