A seating apparatus with one or more support members including one or more attachment points. The attachment points allow for attachment to a seating member for attachment to an attachment location of the one or more support members. The attachment points also allow for attachment to a one or more armrest member for attachment to an attachment location of the one or more support members.

A damped hinge assembly for a self-raising seat bottom for preventing the seat bottom from noticeably bouncing at its topmost position. The damped hinge assembly includes a clutch damping mechanism that is engaged at an intermediate position between its lowered position and topmost position to begin slowing the rotation of the seat bottom. The clutch damping mechanism has a number of adjacent plates with a viscous material disposed between them. When the clutch damping mechanism is engaged the plates rotate against one another and the viscous material applies a drag force that resists the rotation to slow the return of the seat bottom to its upright stored position.

A folding chair having a friction damping part for decelerating a rotary speed of a seat board is provided. The folding chair comprises the seat board vertically rotatably supported between a pair of stand frames, a rotary connection part connecting the seat board to the pair of stand frames to be vertically rotatable while having a rotary shaft line as a center of rotation, and a damping part capable of decelerating a rotary speed of the seat board. The damping part comprises a friction clutch disposed on the rotary shaft line and having a friction surface arranged in a direction perpendicular to the rotary shaft line, a clutch pressure plate integrally rotating with the seat board and having a pressure surface configured to come in contact with the friction surface of the friction clutch, and an elastic pressure body elastically pressing the clutch pressure plate toward the friction clutch.

Disclosed are a seat bracket and a seat unit. The seat bracket includes an intermediate transmission assembly and an extension assembly mounted on the intermediate transmission assembly, in which the extension assembly includes: an extension structure, hinged to the intermediate transmission assembly; a first transition link, hinged to the extension structure; a limit member, where a relative position between the limit member and the first transition link remains unchanged during the adjustment of a position of the extension assembly; a first footrest member, mounted to the first transition link; and an elastic member, acting on the first footrest member so that the first footrest member consistently has a movement tendency to be abutted against the limit member.

A seating assembly includes a frame supporting a seat and a backrest. The frame includes a stationary base and a mobile base. A pivot link pivotally connects between the seat and the mobile base. The seating assembly is adjustable between a sitting position and a mobile position. In the sitting position, the stationary base supports the seating assembly, the sitting surface extends parallel to the ground, and the mobile base is vertically spaced from the ground. In the mobile position, the seat is pivoted relative to the frame toward the backrest, the mobile base supports the seating assembly, and the stationary base is vertically spaced from the ground. As the seating assembly is adjusted between the sitting and mobile positions, the pivot link pivots relative to the seat and the mobile base to impart vertical movement of the mobile base relative to the stationary base and the ground.
