A cushion (1) whose configuration can be varied is constituted by a cushion element (10) inside which there is a fixed frame (20), which covers a lower section (13) of said cushion element (10), and two movable frames (25A), (25B), symmetrical, hinged above said fixed frame (20) and adapted to be comprised within an upper section (14) of the cushion element (10) itself. The movable frames (25 A), (25B) can swing up to 180 independently of one another, for aligning a respective portion (14A), (14B) of said upper section (14) from an external horizontal position (HE) to an internal horizontal position (HI), passing through a vertical neutral position (N) in which the same portion (14A), (14B) is substantially aligned with said lower section (13). In a sofa (D) or an armchair (P) in which the backrest (100) and the armrests (110) are defined by respective cushions (1), many possible configurations of the same are possible, in order to offer maximum seating comfort.

A compactly packageable sofa includes a seat back, a seat cushion, two arm panels and a zippered flap. In the assembled state of the sofa, the seat cushion and the seat back are held between the arm panels, and the zippered flap is attached to both the seat back and the seat cushion. The seat back does not contact the seat cushion in the assembled state of the sofa. In the compact state of the sofa, the seat back, the seat cushion and the arm panels are not attached to one another. Instead, the arm panels fit inside a compartment under the seat cushion. The flap is not attached to both the seat back and the seat cushion in the compact state of the sofa. In the compact state, the sofa is contained in a packing box whose width is only slightly greater than the depth of the seat cushion.

A seat, including a seat bottom for which a seat frame is supported by a base, and a seat back, the seat including a seated position, a lying position and an intermediate resting position. A seat plate can be moved in rotation around a rear axis located at the side of a rear edge of the seat, the seat plate being movable in rotation around a tilting axis in front of the rear axis, the seat frame is moved forward during conversion from the seated position to the lying position.

An essentially horizontal rear segment. An intermediate rear segment with a downward slope greater than the slope followed by the tilting axis. An intermediate front segment with an essentially horizontal upward slope.

The studio couch of the subject invention is a seating unit having an end unit with a cushion which may be raised and lowered from a closed position to an open position

A seating device is provided have collapsible armrests. The collapsible armrests are attached to the seating device via brackets that hold the collapsible armest in a secure erect position while allowing the collapsible armrests to be rotated into a collapse position for access to the seating device. The armrests are externally attached on both side of the seating device and remain attached in both the erect and collapsed positions.

An expandable chair includes an extendable seat section which materially extends the width of the main seat section of the chair. When the width of the seat needs to be lengthened, lateral sections are provided which are rotated up from beneath the main center section of the seat and then locked adjacent to the center section. The lateral sections can be rotated down and locked beneath the center section when chair expansion is not desired. Extendable support arms, adjustable outward from the back section of the chair, are provided when the width of the seat's center section is lengthened. These support arms are located behind the back support section and are configured to be slid outward when needed. A unique rack and pinion gear system allows the support arms to be extended and locked in a plurality of lengths.

A lockable pivoting articulation joint includes a first joint section, a second joint section, a pivot bearing allowing the first and second joint sections to be rotatable in relation to each other about a main axis, and a locking mechanism on the first joint section switchable between a release condition and a locking condition. The second joint section is lockable in relation to the first joint section in at least one relative rotational position. On the second joint section a retaining surface is provided. The locking mechanism has a clamping lever attached to the first joint section to be pivotable about a clamping lever axis between a locking position and a release position. The clamping lever has a clamping surface for locking abutment on the retaining surface and the clamping surface is inclined in relation to a tangential plane.
