Self-adjusting furniture, seating, and accessories disclosed. When the user applies a force to the seating by shifting his or her center of gravity, the backrest and/or seat/bed portions of the seating/furniture move in response to the force to recline or adjust the seating/furniture or accessories. The user can return the seating to an upright position by again shifting his or her center of gravity. The angle of the backrest and/or seat/bed portions can vary relative to the ground as the user moves. Continuously varying the angle of both the backrest and seat/bed portions of the seating/furniture or accessories relative to the ground may improve a user's seating comfort, for example, by decreasing or negating the user's need to shift position on the seat when reclined or continuously responding the user's shift in position.

A shoe tying support assembly includes a frame that is positionable on a floor. A scissor lift is movably coupled to the frame and the scissor lift is actuatable between a lifted position and a lowered position. A platform is positioned on the scissor lift and the platform is spaced upwardly from the frame when the scissor lift is actuated into the lifted position. Thus, a user can position their foot on the platform for assisting with tying shoes. A tilting unit is coupled between the scissor lift and the platform and the tilting unit tilts the platform at a selectable angle of deflection from a horizontal plane to enhance comfort for the user to position the user's foot on the platform. A remote control is provided to remotely control the scissor lift and the tilting unit.

This invention relates in general to supports and in particular to collapsible portable travel supports for use in conjunction with a seat during travel. The support device has a main body of flexible material and a self-deploying support structure has a plurality of hollow sections having a slip joint connection and a chord secured to opposing ends of the structure and passing longitudinally through all sections. The self-deploying support structure is transformable between storage and deployed configurations where the slip joint connections of each section are mated to form a unitary structure. An attachment mechanism associated with the body attaches the body to the self-deploying support structure. The main body and self-deploying support structure are configured to form a self-supporting structure spaced apart from the seat in use and from a structure in front of the seat supporting the user.

A chair add-on, leg support, leg support system, method for retrofitting a chair is described herein. The leg support system is preferably, but not necessarily, easy to use, store, reposition, and/or operate by users of all ages. The leg support system preferably may be constructed directly with a chair. Alternatively, the leg support system may, but does not necessarily, include a remote selectable control.

An assistive device for standing tasks allows for a reduction of effort on the part of a user while engaged in tasks or activities that are stationary or nearly stationary that lessens the strain on the bones, joints, and muscles normally used for standing while ensuring a proper alignment of the pelvis and spine.

The present invention relates generally to the field of footrests. More specifically, the present invention relates to a footrest device designed to screw into a ground surface. The footrest is comprised of a foot board that has an anti-skid texture, that allows a user to rest his or her feet in an inclined position. The footrest is further comprised of a conical structure attached to a ball bearing at a top end, wherein the conical structure is screwed into the ground surface to secure the footrest. Further, a user can place the footrest in a variety of locations with various heights depending on their preference.

A footrest apparatus is formed by a base structure and a padded upper panel. The base structure has an insulated compartment therein with an insulated cover to keep articles cool or warm therein. A hinge mechanism connected between the base and panel releasably locks the panel in an upward position.
