A virtual-reality navigation controller includes a base, a seat, a vertical support to support the seat on the base, and a rotatable connector between the seat and the vertical support to tilt the seat about a rotational center of the rotatable connector in response to directional forces exerted by a user seated on the seat. The virtual-reality navigation controller further includes a motion-detection controller to measure pitch corresponding to the tilt of the seat resulting from the directional forces.

An aircraft seat device includes at least one seat bottom unit, which at least partly implements a seat surface and includes a mounting unit, which is configured to be mounted on a mounting plane, and includes at least one carrier element, which extends at least over a large portion of a seat depth of the seat surface and is configured for coupling the seat bottom unit with the mounting unit.

A seat recline mechanism for, and method of controlling motion of a first assembly relative to a second assembly within a seating assembly includes a mechanism having first and second bearings for attaching to the first assembly, and a hub for attaching to the second assembly. The hub includes first and second inclined surfaces, the second inclined surface being oppositely-facing relative to the first inclined surface. In use, the first bearing is arranged to act against the first inclined surface and the relative position of the first bearing with respect to the first inclined surface is adjustable; and the second bearing is arranged to act against the second inclined surface and the relative position of the second bearing with respect to the second inclined surface is adjustable. One or more such mechanisms are provided for the seating assembly.

Outdoor seating furniture is provided, which includes at least one seat element arranged on a frame with a seat surface and a reverse side, wherein, in a basic state, the seat surface is oriented downwards and, in a functional state, the seat surface is oriented upwards. The seat element as part of a pivot bearing is pivotably mounted about the longitudinal axis of a transverse strut of the frame and is stabilized by force of gravity, force of spring, magnetic force and/or an electromechanical actuator in the basic state.

The invention relates to a chair (10) having a base (40) and a support (20), articulated thereon, that is coupled to a seating surface (11) and supports the latter, the seating surface (11) being connected to the support (20) rotatably or pivotably around a rotation axis (30) between a sitting position and a raised position, and the support (20) comprising at least one receiving region (28, 29) for aligned abutment of a juxtaposed chair (10) of identical design. Provision is made in this context that in the raised position, the seating surface (11) is pivoted out of the receiving region (28, 29) of the support (20) and exposes it. The result is to create a chair (10) that, for storage, can be juxtaposed in space-saving fashion with chairs (10) of identical design.

The present invention relates to safety mats for power motion furniture, power motion furniture systems comprising electronic architecture including the safety mats, and methods of using the same. In particular, the present invention provides object sensing safety mats for use with power motion furniture wherein the safety mats sense obstructions of movement between an extended or raised configuration of the power motion furniture and prevents movement or return of the extended or raised configuration when an obstruction is detected.

A foldable chair includes a seat panel having a first end portion and a second end portion, a pivotable support having a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion of the pivotable support pivotally connected to the first end portion of the seat panel, and a variable resistance support assembly pivotally coupled to the second end portion of the seat panel for selectively raising and lowering the seat panel. The variable resistance support assembly can include a housing, with a first spring and a second spring stored therein. The first spring can have a first pressure load and the second spring can have a second pressure load that is less than the first pressure load.

A waste management chair system includes a chair having an inner-cavity with a toilet-receptacle slat and a toilet-receptacle, and a powered lift-mechanism. The waste management chair system is useful for providing a combined toilet and chair for patients, elderly, and anybody having difficulty being mobile.

The present disclosure relates to a chair tray and chassis, chassis forming method and chassis mounting structure of the same. The chair chassis comprises a chassis body that is arranged with a mounting hole thereon for mounting a regulating knob. The edge at the position corresponding to the mounting hole of the chassis body is arranged with a flange. The structural strength and the fatigue strength of the chassis can be enhanced effectively by arranging the flange at the position corresponding to the mounting hole of the chassis, which avoids the occurrence of fracture at the perimeter of the mounting hole of the chassis during use or test and thus enables the thickness of the chassis to be reduced below 3 mm, reducing production material to a very large extent and saving production cost while also ensuring that it can pass the back pad fatigue test in the BIFMA standard.
