V. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

[0015] Referring now to the drawings, where the present invention is generally referred to with numeral 10, it can be observed that it basically includes a frame assembly 20, legs support assembly 40, structure supports assembly, and various exemplary embodiments (100) thereof. It should be understood there are modifications and variations of the invention that are too numerous to be listed but that all fit within the scope of the invention. Also, singular words should be read as plural and vice versa and masculine as feminine and vice versa, where appropriate, and alternative embodiments do not necessarily imply that the two are mutually exclusive.

[0016] Frame assembly 20 includes a sitting structure 22 and a couch cushion 24. In an exemplary embodiment, the sitting structure 22 may be a rectangle-shaped structure, wherein a portion of the lateral sides that conforms to the sitting structure 22 may have a pitch angle. As best depicted in FIG. 2. The pitch angle provides an angle of inclination with respect to the horizontal plane, thereby providing a lower section than the rear section of the sitting structure 22. The lateral portion with the pitch angle may continue with a straight portion thereof. As shown in FIG. 3. It should be considered that the sitting structure 20 may be a square-shaped, an oval-shaped structure or any other regular or irregular shape. In a suitable embodiment, the sitting structure 22 may be made of rectangular tube, square tube, tubular or a combination thereof, wherein the material of the sitting structure 22 may be aluminum, alloy steel, carbon fiber, hard plastic or any other lightweight and strong material. In a suitable embodiment, the sitting structure 22 may have an extended section of in a front side thereof, wherein the extended section extends downwards with respect to a vertical plain. As FIG. 3 represents. In a preferred embodiment, the couch cushion 42 may extend from the extended section of the sitting structure 22 to the rear straight portion of the sitting structure 22, wherein the couch cushion 24 may be attached along the area that conforms to the sitting structure 22. As best illustrated in FIG. 2. In a preferred embodiment, the couch cushion 24 may be made of solid rubberized foam, wherein the couch cushion 24 may include a lining that contains inside thereof the couch cushion 24, thereby the couch cushion 24 in combination with the lining may create upholstered piece of furniture. It should be considered that the couch cushion 24 may be made of sponge, pad stuffed or any other suitable material.

[0017] Legs support assembly 40 includes legs support 42 and spring supports 44. In an exemplary embodiment, the legs support is placed in a front portion and perpendicularly with respect to the sitting structure. As FIG. 2 illustrates. In a suitable embodiment, the legs support 42 includes a height adjustable means, such as a pin and a series of vertically displaced holes, to allow the user to set the height of the couch cushion 24 above the couch 100 as desired. As FIG. 1 represents. It should be considered that the legs support 42 may be a square tube with an inner square tube, which the inner square tube may slide along the height of the square tube and be held in place by coupling a pin through the parallel holes of both square tubes. In other embodiment, the spring support 44 may be made of a spring-loaded mechanism which allows the rear section of the couch cushion 24 to be lowered under the user's weight, and then rise up when the user adjusts the weight of his body forward to stand up from the couch cushion 24. As FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 represents. In a preferred embodiment, the spring supports is attached perpendicularly to the bottom edge with respect to the rear section of the sitting structure 22. As best depicted in FIG. 2.

[0018] Structure support assembly 60 includes front supports 62 and rear supports 64. In a suitable embodiment, the front supports 62 may angles attached between the legs support 42 and the laterals of the seating structure 22. As FIG. 3 depicts. The front supports 62 may reinforce the sitting structure 22 by transferring the loads created when the user sits on the couch cushion 24 between the sitting structure 22 and the legs support 42, thereby said front supports 62 provide resistance to bending in any direction. In a preferred embodiment, the front supports 62 may be made of the same material as the sitting structure 22 and/or the legs supports 42. In other embodiment, rear supports 64 may angles attached between the spring supports 44 and the laterals of the seating structure 22. As FIG. 3 depicts. The rear supports 64 may reinforce the sitting structure 22 by transferring the loads created when the user sits on the couch cushion 24 between the sitting structure 22 and the spring supports 44, thereby said rear supports 64 provide resistance to bending in any direction. In a preferred embodiment, the rear supports 64 may be made of the same material as the sitting structure 22 and/or the spring supports 42. It should be considered that the springs support 44 may include and adjustable mechanism to be leveled in accordance with the legs support 42, thereby the legs support 42 and the springs support 44 may work in concert to level the couch cushion with respect to a horizontal plane.

[0019] Referring to the figures and more particularly to FIG. 1, wherein the present invention 10 may provide an adjustable in height means for elderly, users with mobility difficulties, thereby the frame assembly 20 is capable of adjusting in height by means of the legs support 42, providing a predetermined height that the user considers appropriate for sitting. The spring supports 42 may provide a force absorption when compressed and may provide an impulse when the user adjusts the weight of his body forward to stand up.

[0020] The foregoing description conveys the best understanding of the objectives and advantages of the present invention. Different embodiments may be made of the inventive concept of this invention. It is to be understood that all matter disclosed herein is to be interpreted merely as illustrative, and not in a limiting sense.
