Abstract: A modular furniture assembly includes: a base member having a frame assembly, a transverse member having a frame assembly, a foot configured to contact a support surface, and a mounting platform having a plurality of apertures therethrough. The mounting platform is configured to be mounted on the base member frame assembly and the transverse member frame assembly, thereby connecting the frame assemblies. The foot is selectively mounted on the mounting platform, such that the foot is configured to contact the support surface when the modular furniture assembly is in an upright configuration. The mounting platform connects the base and transverse member frame assemblies together and also acts as a platform for receiving a variety of different types of feet.

Abstract: A rocking furniture member includes an occupant support member supporting an occupant of the furniture member. A frame is connected to the occupant support member and supports the seat portion for rocking motion with respect to a furniture member support surface. An elastically resilient member connecting the occupant support member to the frame permits occupant induced rocking motion of the occupant support member with respect to the support surface. The resilient member is a monolithic bar having a uniform cross section.

Abstract: A child seat apparatus that may be engaged on the end of a table top so as to be used as a hook on high chair and that also may be set on the floor to be used as a rocker. The apparatus includes a base that includes longitudinal curved members. A rear portion of the base can be disengaged from the front portion of the base such that, when used as a hook on high chair, the rear portion can swing to an out-of-the-way position underneath front portion, so that the rear portion does not protrude into kitchen or dining room space.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a reconfigurable child receiving device that includes a seat portion and arcuate leg members that support the seat portion above a supporting surface. The seat portion is further supported by arcuate cross members that extend between the leg members and are pivotally connected to the leg members. The arcuate cross member can each be individually pivoted upward above the leg members or downward below the leg members. The pivotal connection between the leg members and the cross members enables the reconfigurable child receiving device to be configured into four different modes of use. In a first mode, both arcuate cross members are pivoted upward above the leg members to allow the device to rock on the leg members in a first direction. In a second mode the second cross member is pivoted downward to prevent rocking in the first direction and to secure the seat portion in a relatively upright configuration.

Abstract: A four legged or sled chair comprising a frame structure, a seat mounted between the frame structure and connected to it by sliding means. The sliding means comprising a plurality of runners attached to the seat and sliding therein circular ring sector slots located on the frame defining the virtual transverse axis of rotation and the stops of said seat thereto said frame.

Abstract: The present invention is rocking chair rocker cover consisting of an elongated pocket-shaped sleeve that fits snugglely over the entire length of a rocker. The cover has an elongated opening to allow the cover to the fitting onto, and easily removed from, a rocker. In use, the opening is drawn closed over the top of a rocker by closure devices such as elastic cord secured to the opening perimeter and cross ties. The covering material may consist of woven fabric such as readily available quilting, providing a means of easily adding to the aesthestic appeal of the device. To increase protection from contact injury, the cover includes cushioning such as foam rubber or polyester fiber fill captured on or within a flexible covering material. In some embodiments a nonskid element is positioned under the rocker bearing surface to increase friction of the rocker against a floor surface in use.

Abstract: A folding chair convertible to a rocking chair enabling a folding chair converting to a rocking chair comprises pedestals located at four ends each engaged with a plurality of support bars to form a chair frame for supporting a backrest and seat pad thereon. A pair of rockers is provided beneath the folding chair. The rockers have respectively anchor seats mounted thereon to engage with the pedestals for the folding chair convertible to a rocking chair when desired.

Abstract: A portable furniture assembly has a pair of opposed and spaced apart scissor assemblies. A stop mechanism is provided to retain a pair of scissor structures of the portable furniture assembly in a set-up condition and yet permit easy release of the stop mechanism to permit folding of the furniture assembly for transport. A foldable and portable chair has a flexible sling suspended between two scissor assemblies to define a seat and a back for the chair. The portable chair also has two bottom rails connected to front supports of the scissor assemblies via pivots. Rear supports of the scissor assemblies are removably connected to the bottom rails at the stop mechanism to retain the portable chair in a set-up condition and yet permit the chair to be folded to a completely flat or folded condition.
