ATHLETIC PLAYER SEATING SYSTEM
An athletic player seating system; the athletic player seating system may include a seating unit having a first-seat, a center console, and a second-seat hosted on a frame. The first-seat and the second-seat each include a backrest, a seat portion, and a footrest having padded sections hosting heating elements and massagers positioned on all user-contacting surface points. The first-seat and the second-seat each further include a cooling system and a series of air vents positioned to direct air moved by the cooling system towards the first-seat and the second-seat. The seating unit also includes a first-liquid-container and a second-liquid-container for water and sports beverages. Additionally, the seating unit includes means for oxygen delivery to a user.
MICROCLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A method and system for temperature control of a microclimate device are disclosed. The temperature control can be integrated into a reservation system for the microclimate device. A user interface can receive a user input of a temperature control setting. The user interface can be integrated into the microclimate device. A processor can receive the user input and control a heating and/or cooling device to execute the temperature control setting.
VEHICLE SEAT
There is provided a vehicle seat (car seat) comprising a seat cushion pad (seat body) having an air passage connected to an outlet port (114), and a blower having an inlet port (113) and configured to feed air taken in through the inlet port (113) to the air passage. The blower (100) is located on the lower side of the seat cushion pad (seat body) that is opposite to an occupant's side on which an occupant is to be seated, and the inlet port (113) is directed upward that is a direction toward the seat cushion pad (seat body).
VEHICLE SEAT
A vehicle seat according to the present invention includes: a seat back frame constituting a framework of a seat back; a blower disposed in the seat back; a bracket to which the blower is fixed; and a cover member provided on the rear side of the seat back frame. Herein, the bracket is fixed to the cover member with the seat back frame being held between the bracket and the cover member.
VEHICLE SEAT AND ASSEMBLING METHOD THEREFOR
A vehicle seat includes a pad having an air passage, a skin material, and a skin locking clip embedded in the pad and configured to tuck in a prescribed linear portion of the skin material. The pad includes a main body member in which the skin locking clip is embedded, an intermediate layer member arranged on the main body member, and a surface layer member arranged on the intermediate layer member. The main body member includes a linear bulging portion extending along the linear portion and bulging so as to define a plane substantially identical to a surface of the surface layer member, and the skin material is tucked in by the skin locking clip at a portion extending further from the surface layer member than the linear bulging portion.
SEATING OR RECLINING FURNITURE
A seating or reclining furniture is disclosed. The seating or reclining furniture includes at least one ventilatable surface region and a radial blower. The at least one ventilatable surface region includes a shaping foam layer, an air-distributing knitted spacer fabric, an air-conveying knitted spacer fabric, and an air-permeable cover layer. The radial blower is connected in an air-transferring manner to the air-distributing knitted spacer fabric. The radial blower is arranged on an edge side of the air-distributing knitted spacer fabric such that at least one of a blowing of air into the air-distributing knitted spacer fabric and an extraction of air from the air-distributing knitted spacer fabric is providable via the radial blower essentially parallel to a surface plane of the air-distributing knitted spacer fabric.
POWERED CHAIRS FOR PUBLIC VENUES, ASSEMBLIES FOR USE IN POWERED CHAIRS, AND COMPONENTS FOR USE IN ASSEMBLIES FOR USE IN POWERED CHAIRS
A remotely controlled powered chair may include a support frame, a seat pivotally mounted on the support frame, an rotary actuator mounted between the support frame and the seat to drive the seat to move relative to the support frame, a backrest pivotally mounted on the seat, and a linear actuator mounted between the seat and the backrest to drive the backrest to move relative to the seat. Thus, the rotary actuator may be controlled by an electrically control device to drive the seat to pivot relative to the support frame reciprocally in a pendulum manner so that the seat is pivoted relative to the support frame automatically. In addition, the linear actuator may be controlled by the electrically control device to adjust the inclined angle of the backrest so as to provide a comfortable sensation to the user. A remotely controlled powered chair may include a base assembly. A chair frame is supported on the base assembly. An actuator mechanism may communicate with the base assembly and the chair frame, and is operable to actuate the chair frame between first and second positions.
FURNITURE CONSOLE AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME
A furniture console having a base and at least one of a lighting device selectively mounted to the base, a first charging device supported by the base, a thermal energy transfer assembly configured to heat or cool a first container selectively mounted to the base, and an electricity storage assembly mounted within the base, the electricity storage assembly being configured to power the furniture console. A control assembly configured to control operation of the at least one of the lighting device, the first charging device, and the thermal energy transfer assembly.
Ventilated seat assembly with active air flow
A ventilated seat assembly with active air circulation including a structural frame element, a cushion assembly supported by the structural frame element, a perforated dress cover, a conduit network embedded in the cushion assembly configured to direct air to at least one target region of the cushion assembly, an air mover coupled in fluid communication with the conduit network, and a controller operable for activating the air mover to cause air to flow through the conduit network to the at least one target region. In operation, the controller activates the air mover to flow air, such as unconditioned air, through the conduit network to be released through the dress cover in the at least one target region.
Multi-zone temperature modulation system for bed or blanket
A temperature modulation system for a bed, blanket, or other furniture includes a fluid for moderating temperature change, a number of conduit circuits for directing the fluid through respective zones, a control unit including a thermoelectric device for modulating temperature of the fluid, and a pump. Each of the conduit circuits selectively and independently directs fluid through its respective zone in order to produce a temperature within the zone that is independent of the temperature outside the zone. The system also includes an arrangement of one or more zones in an arrangement in which the control unit is programmed to vary the zone temperature over time according to a schedule.
