A remote control footrest for elevating an injured foot includes a base having a top side, a bottom side, a front side, a back side, a right side, a left side, and a cavity. The top side has a pole aperture extending through to the cavity. A lift means is coupled to the base within the cavity. An adjustable support pole is coupled to the base through the pole aperture and is in operational communication with the lift means. The lift means adjusts a length of the adjustable support pole. A footrest is coupled to the adjustable support pole and is configured to support a foot or a leg of a user. A remote control is in wireless communication with the lift means to adjust the length of the adjustable support pole and thus a height of the footrest.

A dual-use footrest is disclosed. The dual-use footrest comprises a bottom frame and a flip frame. The bottom frame includes a shaft part disposed at a side of the two side plates, and a support disposed a side of the shaft part, and the flip frame includes a shaft coupling part disposed at a side of the two side frames and pivotally connected to the shaft part, and a pedal part disposed on a side of the shaft coupling part. When the back surface of the flip frame is abutted on the bottom frame, the user with the sitting posture can step on the pedal part; and, when the flip frame is outwardly flipped about the shaft coupling part and the shaft part, to abut on the support of the bottom frame by the top surface thereof, the user with the standing posture can step on the footrest.

The assembly chair includes a pair of frames, a plurality of coupling rods, a plurality of pairs of depressed portions, at least one support member, and a sheet. The sheet is removably installed between the support member and the coupling rod. At least at one end portion of the sheet, the sheet includes a plurality of inserted portions along a width direction of the sheet. A flat plate is passed through at least one of the inserted portions. The support member with a flat intermediate portion is passed through another one of the inserted portions. The sheet is wound around outer peripheries of the inserted portion through which the plate is passed and the inserted portion through which the support member is passed to adjust a length of the sheet. In such state, the support member has both end portions fitted to the depressed portions on the frames.

An inflatable pillow system includes a pillow formed of an upper and lower bladder that may be independently inflated and deflated. A controller includes an air mover, a valve assembly, and a control box. The valve assembly includes an air line to the upper bladder, and an air line to the lower bladder. Each of an upper air line valve and a lower air line valve is urged into a closed position by an valve spring, and is movable into an open position by an valve servo. The air line valves may include hollow valve plungers, so that the valve springs extend into the plungers. The control box has an input for inflating and deflating the upper bladder, and an input for inflating and deflating the lower bladder.

A versatile item of home furniture having multiple sections joined by glides to allow all sections to be nested or encapsulated together in an ottoman configuration or, alternatively, be positioned as steps in a step configuration. The sections may include being in a seating configuration wherein the steps are disengaged from each other and include cushions received in recesses at the tops of the structure.

The Adjustable Slant Board was developed to provide a comfortable alternative to sitting, standing, and lying down. It is a collapsible apparatus that when erect allows the user to stand and recline on a platform. The device includes several sections which provide for the adjustment of the angle of the slant board when in use. Reclining the body in an erect position relieves pressure on the lower back while allowing the user the ability to perform many tasks of daily living. When placed in the most comfortable position, the user is free to watch TV, eat, read, use electronic devices, etc. The collapsibility of the Adjustable Slant Board allows it to be stored out of the way. Slant boards have been used previously in exercise equipment primarily to invert the body A slant board designed to provide a stable platform from which to perform other tasks is novel.

The invention relates to the field of ergonomic furniture. The device (1) comprises an upper support element (8) for supporting the thighs and a lower support element (9) for supporting the legs or tibias, that can be separated by an open space (11) or recess for the knees. An assembly (7) formed by the two support elements (8, 9) is mounted so that it pivots around a horizontal axis (A) on a bearing structure (2, 6), wherein rotation of the assembly (7) enables the support elements (8, 9) to accompany the lower limbs of a user during a transition from one use position to another. The device (1) is incorporated into an apparatus for maintaining a standing or sitting-standing position, having at least one footrest (4, 5). The device is applicable to the arrangement of a workstation, such as a computer workstation or an industrial workstation.

A portable, reusable appendage supporting device is provided for elevating the leg of bed-ridden patients for evaluation and treatment to their lower extremities. The appendage lifting device provide a base unit providing a telescopic pole connecting a support element for the patient's appendage. The telescopic pole enables selective elevational adjustment of the supporting element. The present invention also includes a pivot connection and locking mechanism interconnecting the support element and the telescopic pole, so that the orientation of the supporting element can be further rotationally adjusted and secured during use.
