A chair assembly includes a seat with a top side and a bottom side. The seat is connected to a telescoping arm that has a first end and a second end. The first end of the arm is connected to the bottom side of the seat. A platform having a top side and a bottom side is attached to the second end of the arm. The height of the platform is adjustable via the telescoping arm.

An adjustable arm support for a surgical robotic system, the arm support comprising: a fixed armrest portion that is fixedly coupled to a console seat of the surgical robotic system; and an adjustable armrest portion that is adjustably coupled to the fixed armrest portion, the adjustable armrest portion

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.

An armrest release mechanism includes a pivot bush. A release bracket is fixed to the pivot bush. An armrest pivot is supported on the pivot bush for relative rotational movement. A release board is also supported on the pivot bush for relative rotational movement. The release board is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. An armrest lock is attached to the release bracket for relative movement. The armrest lock is also attached to the release board. When the release board is in the locked position the armrest lock is engaged with the armrest pivot to prevent movement of the armrest pivot relative to the pivot bush. When the release board is in the unlocked position the armrest lock is not engaged with the armrest pivot.

An auxiliary armrest is designed to be supported between two adjacent armrests of a seat in a seat row. The auxiliary armrest comprises an elongated body having two sides, and connectors on said two sides, wherein the connectors are configured to be reversibly connected to the adjacent armrests while the elongated body is between them.

A convertible seat including: a support frame; and

a user support having a support surface on one side defining a rounded periphery, the user support being movable from a first configuration supported by the support frame with the rounded periphery presented upwardly, to a second configuration supported by the support frame such that a seat or seat base is presented upwardly, the seat or seat base being substantially flat or at least less rounded than the rounded periphery, with the support surface being stowed substantially below the seat or seat base in the second configuration. The seat allows the attainment in a single unit both the healthy balance/core-strengthening of a fitness chair and a conventional chair.

An apparatus that supports a user in a variety of positions to comfortably perform tasks, such as applying one or more tattoos to skin of a subject is herein disclosed. The apparatus can be reconfigured to optimally position and support the arms and/or chest of the user. A method for using a stool can involve rotating armrests of the apparatus from a stowed position to a deployed position. The armrests can support the user's forearms while supporting the user's chest such that the user can comfortably perform tasks in front of a chest support of the stool.

A mechanism for raising and lowering an armrest for a seat includes an armrest, a rotatable hub, and an actuating linkage between the armrest and the hub, the rotatable hub having a cam that operates the actuating linkage to raise the armrest wherein the cam can rotate through a first angle of rotation where the actuating linkage is not operated a second angle of rotation where the actuating linkage is operated. The cam can rotate through a third angle of rotation where the actuating linkage is not operated, this angle being different to the first angle of rotation. The cam is torsionally linked to the rotation of a seat member.

A beam seating assembly has a frame supporting a seating surface. A beam secures to a first support and extends in a longitudinal direction. A channel is located the beam free of the first support. The frame has a lower portion with a connector that is insertable into the channel transverse to the longitudinal direction and the connector, once inserted into the channel, is retained from removal out of the channel in a direction. The connector is insertable into a first portion of the channel and a second portion of the connector rotatable into a second portion of the channel and then slidable away from the first portion such that the first and second portions of the connector are retained within the channel but are slidable in the longitudinal direction until the connector is fixedly secured to the beam. The frame is made in certain aspects from a flat plate.

Furniture entertainment hubs are disclosed that are integrated in a piece of furniture to conveniently control the piece of furniture, while at the same time providing a convenient means of communicating with and charging a remote smart device such as a smart phone or tablet. The entertainment hubs can be in many different locations in the piece of furniture, with some embodiments embedded in an armrest with the hub having a touch screen accessible at the top surface of the armrest. The entertainment hub provides a sleek, aesthetic and easy to mechanism for controlling the chair/sofa and interfacing with remote devices. One embodiment of an entertainment hub for a seating apparatus comprising a body with a plurality of planar surfaces, wherein one of said plurality of surfaces comprises a substantially flat control panel. The control panel comprises a plurality of visual touch buttons, a remote device wireless charging pad, and a speaker. Wherein said body is arranged to be mounted in a piece of piece of furniture with most of the body embedded in said piece of furniture with said control panel being visible and accessible.
