  • Publication number: 20130313881
    Abstract: A chair includes a backrest, and a head and neck support structure arranged at the top side of the backrest for supporting the head and neck of a person resting on the backrest. The head and neck support includes a neck support portion shaped like a convex bar and transversely arranged at the top side of the backrest, and a plurality of radial V-grooves radially upwardly extended from the top side of the neck support portion and inclining upwardly backwardly from the neck support portion in a smooth manner.

  • Patent number: 8469449
    Abstract: An automatically adjustable chair structure essentially includes a chair body, a base, an extension bar, at least one first cushion mechanism, and at least one second cushion mechanism. When a user sits on the chair body, the user's body weight is cushioned by the first and second cushion mechanisms. In addition, the two sled runner-shaped supports lying on the floor and the pivotable design of the extension bar allow the extension bar to move backward. Thus, the tilt angle of the chair body can be automatically changed to suit the user's sitting posture.

  • Publication number: 20090273221
    Abstract: An improved ergonomic chair, including a chair base, a chair cushion and a chair back located to the rear of the chair base. Support strength of cushion pads on the chair back assumes a fan-shape extending from a lower end towards the upper end, thereby dispersing the compressive stress on the lower back and supporting the back of a person. A support cushion is located on the chair back corresponding to the cervical vertebra of a person, and a head cushion, provided with a plurality of depressions, is located on the chair back above the support cushion. Accordingly, the design of the support cushion and the head cushion facilitating the dispersal of the compressive stress on the lower back and support of the back and cervical vertebra provide the chair back with the ability to appropriately support the cervical vertebra, thereby enabling neck pains to be avoided when sitting.
