The present invention comprises a wearable harness with an adjustable bracket that is connected to an extendable support. The bracket and support allow for multiple angles and support distance.

The invention relates to a chair (1) comprising a seat (4), a backrest support (2) and a backrest (3), the backrest support (2) being mounted on the seat (4) and the backrest (3) being mounted on the backrest support (2), and the chair (1) being designed such that, in a sitting position, a user can sit on the seat and rest his back against the backrest (3). The chair (1) also has a counter-rest part (5) which differs from the backrest (3), the backrest (3) being tiltably connected to the backrest support (2), such that it can be folded in the direction of the seat (4) from the sitting position into a support position, and the counter-rest part (5) being coupled to the backrest (3) in such a way that the backrest (3), when folding from the sitting position into the support position, aligns the counter-rest part (5) such that the user can support his buttocks on the counter-rest part (5).

A chairless chair exoskeleton in order to provide seating support to the user while the user is standing particularly in industrial field includes at least one foot connection element for being connected to the foot of the user and at least one calf support element connected to said foot connection element, and at least one thigh support element connected to said calf support element by means of at least one joint and at least one energy storage element associated to the thigh support element from one side and associated to the calf support element from the other side.

A stool includes a base with a post extending therefrom. A seat is connected to a distal end of the post. In some configurations, the seat may be configured to act as a deployable back rest. A deployable anti-fatigue mat is connected to the base. In some configurations, the deployable anti-fatigue mat is attached to the base via a hinged connection. In some configurations, the deployable anti-fatigue mat is attached to the base with a sliding connection that allows the deployable anti-fatigue mat to slide out from the base.

A novel lightweight, high stability ergonomic chair, enabling sitting, and leaning in a perched intermediary position between sitting and standing. An inclined saddle type seat is supported by three legs. A forward chair leg is located between the feet of, and beneath the center of gravity of the seated person. Two chair legs extend rearward. The chair permits rocking backwards, diagonally forward, and rocking about the forward chair leg. This “active seating” provides for easy transitions between sitting and standing, shifting of weight, and conveys an open positive body language. The chairs may be constructed of various rigid and flexible materials, with optional features including; armrests, footrests, caster wheels, cushioning, and a standing desk type work surface. The chair eliminates the need for connection to a base platform beneath the user's feet.

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 disclosure is directed to a method of collecting and using data obtained from an intelligent automated chair to optimize workflow and increase a user or group's health and productivity. Sensors in the intelligent automated chair can include motion, touch, heart rate, weight, presence, sound, keystroke, etc. In addition, posture, health, and productivity data are collected and compared over periods of time along with a learning algorithm to recommend specific operating models to increase a user or group's overall posture, health, and productivity. The methods and systems are configured to recommend action steps based on usage that can include a chair training program, nutritional training program, mental health training, bonus consideration, rewards program, advancement consideration, etc. Furthermore, the metrics and recommendations can assist with addressing issues associated with absenteeism and presenteeism. Lastly, data collected can be used to create forecasting models based on productivity and health cost.

An office-type chair includes a base, a height-adjustable pedestal extending upward from the base, a seat assembly including a rear seat part and a front seat part, and a linkage system connecting the pedestal to the seat assembly. The linkage system is adapted to pivot the seat assembly between a lowered position to serve as a task chair and an elevated position to serve as an elevated sitting support. A backrest arrangement may extend from the seat assembly. In the lowered position, the front and rear seat parts are both generally horizontally oriented. In the elevated position, the rear seat part may have a slight forward tilt and be positioned higher than in the lowered position, and the front seat part may extend at a downward angle relative to the rear seat part.

An inclined saddle type seat is supported by three legs. A forward chair leg is located between the feet of, and beneath the center of gravity of the seated person. Two chair legs extend rearward. The chair permits rocking backwards, diagonally forward, and rocking about the forward chair leg. This “active seating” provides for easy transitions between sitting and standing, shifting of weight, and conveys an open positive body language. Multiple embodiments and architectures are disclosed multiple configurations including; rigid, folding, and for quick disassembly. The chairs may be constructed of various rigid and flexible materials, with optional features including; armrests, footrests, caster wheels, cushioning, and a standing desk type work surface. The chair eliminates the need for connection to a base platform beneath the user's feet.

A wearable chair may include a foot frame configured to support a foot of a user; a shank link configured to rotatably connect to the foot frame; a connecting link provided in front of the shank link and configured to rotatably connect to the foot frame; a knee link configured to rotatably connect to each of the shank link and the connecting link; and a thigh link configured to extend from the knee link. The foot frame, the shank link, the connecting link, and the knee link constitute a four-bar linkage.
