An orthopedic lounge chair includes a substantially flat support surface that has a length, a width, a front side, and a back side and defines a back support section, a seat section foldably joined to the back support section at a first fold junction, and a leg support section foldably joined to the seat section at a second fold junction, a first bolster support coupled to and rising away from the front side of the back support section, the first bolster support extending longitudinally at least a majority of the width of the support surface, a second bolster support coupled to and rising away from the front side of the seat support section, the second bolster support extending longitudinally at least a majority of the width of the support surface, and a third bolster support coupled to and rising away from the front side of the leg support section, the third bolster support extending longitudinally a majority of the width of the support surface, wherein the first bolster, the second bolster, and the third bolster are not located on the first fold junction or the second fold junction of the lounge chair.

The present invention relates to seat systems, and more specifically to seat systems suitable for supporting users sitting in a cross-legged or kneeling position during activities such as meditation. Sitting closer to the ground, cross-legged, and/or kneeling enables the brain to easily enter a parasympathetic mode, providing users of the seat system a greater sense of calmness. The Multi-Angle Knee blocks (MAKs) offer a greater level of hip support for users.

An upholstered piece of furniture with a frame including a pair blow molded hollow arm rest forms, wherein spanning wood frame members extend between the forms. The wood frame members secured to the forms with interference fits, and minimal threaded fasteners. The arm rest forms have through slots which allow the seat deck and arm upholstery to be pulled through and anchored with staples providing a secure attachment. Threaded fasteners clamp onto the polymer wall of the forms for attachment of frame members. A blowmolded backrest has a metal reinforcing arms connecting to a seat platform. Holes in arm rest allow upholstery panel connections with Christmas tree connectors. The connections to the arm rest forms and providing a geometrically rigid and robust sofa frame that is weighs less, is quicker to assemble, and is more robust. The finishing of the sofa is also quicker and easier than conventional sofas.

A comfort element for a vehicle includes an actuator for carrying out a comfort function, a comfort-element-internal store configured to drive the actuator and/or a coupling device for coupling to a comfort-element-external store configured to drive the actuator. The comfort element further includes a data interface for coupling to an operating unit.

A pivoting fitting is formed with first pivoting lever that is movable about an axis of rotation in relation to a second pivoting lever, and a blocking device is provided to block a rotational motion of the first pivoting lever in relation to the second pivoting lever in a first direction of rotation and to enable rotational motion in an opposite second direction of rotation in a blocking position. In addition, a switching element enables infinitely variable adjustment of the blocking position to deactivate the blocking device for an adjusting process of the first pivoting lever relative to the second pivoting lever in the first direction of rotation.

The present invention provides for construction of a variety of useful objects including chairs and ottomans from multiple polymers or high density polyethylene (HDPE) by utilizing a living hinge; the hinge comprising a single contiguous sheet of stock, the stock having some material removed rendering the sheet flexible and pliable; wherein some material removed forms a mesh or matrix; wherein the mesh or matrix has been optimized to allow for pliability while eliminating points of excessive stress; wherein the single contiguous sheet is bent in a predetermined shape; the single contiguous sheet relaxing into that predetermined shape over time; and wherein the bent shape retains flexibility under load and while returning to its predetermined shape when no longer under load.
