A seating arrangement includes a base, a seat assembly operably coupled to the base, and a back assembly that includes a substantially rigid back frame including a pair of side portions spaced from one another and extending upward from the base, and a substantially flexible back shell including a front surface and a rear surface opposite the front surface, a plurality of laterally-extending slots that extend between the front surface and the rear surface and that cooperate to define a plurality of laterally-extending ribs therebetween, where a pair of laterally-extending ribs of the plurality of laterally-extending ribs are connected to one another via a vertically-extending rib located at a substantial midpoint across a width of the back shell, and wherein the back shell is coupled to each of the side portions of the back frame at locations above the plurality of laterally-extending slots.

A height adjustment assembly for use in furniture such as a chair armrest is revealed. The height adjustment assembly includes a fixing base, an outer sleeve, and a rod. A snap block is released from one of one of the slots of the fixing base to be in a released state when a drive portion of the rid is driven for synchronously driving the snap block of the rod to move for adjustment. Now the fixing base remains still and the outer sleeve can be moved and adjusted vertically relative to the fixing base. The vertical movement of the outer sleeve includes a highest point and a lowest point. The fixing base or a fixed position of the fixing base is located between the highest point and the lowest point. Thereby the fixing base is covered with the outer sleeve to improve beauty and quality of the furniture.

A locking device for an armrest pole. The locking device comprises a housing element configured for slidably accommodating the armrest pole. A locking handle comprises an abutment end, the locking handle is rotatably connected to the housing element and configured for rotation between a locked position where the armrest pole is fixed in the locking device and an unlocked position where the armrest pole is slidable in the locking device. The locking device also comprises a wedge element comprising a wedge and an abutment portion, the abutment portion configured for being directly or indirectly biased by the abutment end, the wedge configured and arranged for at least partly insertion between a portion of the armrest pole and at least a portion of the housing element in the locked position.

A chair includes a back member and arm brackets. The back member is tapered toward an end that is adjacent to a seat. The arm brackets are attached under a bottom portion of the seat. Each arm bracket is adjustable to provide a seat clearance area for the seat when one or more of the arm brackets are adjusted up to approximately 90 degrees from an original upright position.

A posture correction mechanism includes a carrier attached to a housing, and a gearwheel rotatably attached to the housing, the gearwheel includes a screw hole engaged with a screw which is moveable up and down relative to the housing for driving the gearwheel to rotate relative to the housing, two shafts are rotatably attached to the carrier and each has an arm rest, two gears are rotatably attached to the carrier and engaged with the gearwheel, the gears are connected to the shafts for allowing the shafts to be driven by the gearwheel to rotate relative to the carrier and for allowing the arm rests to be rotated toward or away from the user.

A tablet including a plate member, a support rod and a positioning member is revealed. The plate member has a top cover, a bottom cover, and a first slide member. By the movable engagement of a rack with a damper, the top and the bottom covers slide relative to the first slide member. The support rod includes an upper end for supporting the plate member and a lower end assembled on a chair, a bed, a sofa, a table, a tray with wheels or a multi-seater chair. The upper end forms a rotary shaft which is inserted through an insertion hole of the bottom cover to be fixed on the first slide member. The positioning member includes a movable locking pin member. The angle of the plate member can be adjusted by the locking pin member being released from or locked into a positioning hole on the rotary shaft.

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.

A backrest includes: a backrest body against which a seated person leans a back thereof, a backrest support positioned behind and supporting the backrest body; and an armrest body provided outside in a width direction of the backrest body and supported by the backrest support so as to move up and down at a position separated from the backrest body. A chair includes the above-described backrest.

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.

An adjustable armrest assembly provides for quick and easy height and tilt adjustments to the armrest. Generally, the armrest assembly disclosed herein includes a base, an armrest, and one or more shafts extending from the base and being pivotably coupled to the armrest. By moving the one or more shafts relative to the base, the height and/or tilt of the armrest relative to the base can be adjusted.
