Abstract: A seating assembly includes a seat and an upright coupled with the seat. A pliable backrest is coupled with the upright and includes a support face and a coupling face. The pliable backrest includes a pliable material extending between the support and coupling faces. The support face is a first exterior face of the pliable back rest and the coupling face is a second exterior face of the pliable back rest. The coupling face is spaced away from the upright with a deformation gap. Another seating assembly includes a joint assembly along the upright member. The joint assembly includes a pivot configured to promote rotation of a first upright portion of the upright relative to a second upright portion. The joint assembly includes opposed stop interfaces configured to control rotation of the first upright portion relative to the second upright portion.

Abstract: Seating assemblies and methods are disclosed. A seating assembly can comprise a seat, a back support, and a frame component. The frame component can extend from a bottom portion, positioned near an underside of the seat, to a top portion, configured to maintain the back support at a position above the seat. The back support can laterally extend from a left edge portion to a right edge portion and can include a spring member at or near each of the left and right edge portions. The spring member can include at least one undulation or are providing integrated compression adaptation to a user. The seating assembly can further comprise a tilt mechanism, engaged with the frame component, including one or more leaf springs and a spring contact assembly. The spring contact assembly can be positioned on a top side of the one or more leaf springs.

Abstract: Seating assemblies and methods are disclosed. A seating assembly (100) can comprise a seat, a back support (114), and a frame component (110). The frame component can extend from a bottom portion (118), positioned near an underside of the seat, to a top portion (120), configured to maintain the back support at a position above the seat. The back support can laterally extend from a left edge portion (1670) to a right edge portion (1672) and can include a spring member (122) at or near each of the left and right edge portions. The spring member can include at least one undulation or arc (1674) providing integrated rated compression adaptation to a user. The seating assembly can further comprise a tilt mechanism (408), engaged with the frame component, including one or more leaf springs (424) and a spring contact assembly. The spring contact assembly (426) can be positioned on a top side of the one or more leaf springs.

Abstract: A chair comprising a chair base, a chair frame mounted to the chair base, a back cushion assembly, and a seat cushion assembly, along with related methods, is described. The chair frame includes an upper and lower frame portion. One or both of the back cushion assembly or the seat cushion assembly can be releasably coupled to the upper frame portion or the lower frame portion, respectively. Such releasable coupling can be achieved via one or more quick-release connectors brought into coupling engagement or disengagement via a rotational, sliding, or push-button movement. In varying examples, the back and seat cushion assemblies each comprise at least one support member and a foam cushion attached thereto. A downward-oriented surface of the seat cushion support member can comprise an integrated tool housing to store a connector actuator tool when not in use.
