Abstract: A folding chair (100) comprises as main components a mainframe (1), a seat (2) and a back leg support (3). At least one of the main components is uniplanar and the others fit within a plane of the at least one main component when the chair (100) is collapsed. The folding chair (100) uses a type A construction, and forward movement of the top of the seat (2) relative to the mainframe (1) causes the back leg support (3) to move backwards relative to the mainframe (1).

Abstract: A seat shell includes a one-piece shaped wooden shell which has a seat part and a backrest part and which in its transition region has a bent portion bent along a bending axis. The shaped wooden shell has a veneer structure including at least nine wood layers glued on top of each other. The wood layers include a top layer at each of the front and rear of the shaped wooden shell, respectively, the top layer made of a wood layer is arranged in the longitudinal direction. The wood layers also include between the top layers a number of middle and outer wood layers arranged in the longitudinal or transverse direction. The shaped wooden shell is upholstered, and has a transversely extending cutout defined by bars at the edge in the transition region and/or the backrest part.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a high chair for children convertible into a booster seat comprising an upper part and a base, the upper part having a seating surface adapted for engagement with a corresponding bearing surface of the base, lateral armrest sides, a backrest whose perimeter boundary extends from one lateral side to the other, as well as a backrest extension extending in cantilever fashion from the perimeter boundary of the backrest. The backrest extension consists of a body separate from the backrest and comprises members for removable connection to the perimeter boundary of the backrest. When the backrest extension is removed, the upper part of the high chair is used as a booster seat.

Abstract: A chair capable of allowing positions of armrests and a back plate to be simultaneously adjusted having an integrated back plate cell including a backrest portion and armrest portions extending forward from the backrest portion, a lower frame including a seat plat support portion and an armrest support portion which extends upward from the seat plat support portion and is coupled to each of the armrest portions, and a fixing lever which fixes the armrest portion to the armrest support portion, wherein the integrated back plate cell is obliquely movable relative to the lower frame.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide a comfortable backrest chair. [Solution] A shape retaining material is formed to have radial cores 12 distributed and radially extending upward from a base plate adjacent a cut hole 4 to be fitted on a chair support frame, and a first and a second reinforcing cores 13 and 14 arranged adjacent the base plate of the radial cores 12. A core sheet is formed by attaching a first, a second and a third mesh sheets 9 to the shape retaining material. A chair sheet material is formed by attaching a first and a second buffer sheets 15 and 16 and an outer surface side buffer sheet 7 to the core sheet. A backrest portion of the chair sheet material is constructed to have a larger right and left width than the breadth of a seated person's shoulders, and when the load of the seated person is applied, right and left opposite ends of the backrest portion can be displaced in directions to approach each other due to elasticity of the core sheet.

Abstract: A chair has a supporting frame, a seat portion, a back portion, and a recline mechanism. The mechanism moves the seat portion upon a reclining action of the back portion. The mechanism has a rear deformable member and a front deformable member operatively connecting the seat portion and the supporting frame. The recline mechanism also has a lower deformable member operatively connecting a lower part of the back portion and the supporting frame, and a puller member above the lower deformable member. The recline mechanism is configured such that as the back portion is reclined, the lower deformable member deforms and the puller member applies a rearward pulling action which causes the seat portion to move and the front and rear deformable members to deform.

Abstract: An article of furniture (10) includes a base having a front (14) and a rear (16) and a top (18) surface. A backrest assembly (20) has a front edge (22) and a rear edge (24) and is slideably arranged relative to the base (12) in a plane parallel to the top surface of the base to adjust a depth (D) of the base as measured between the front edge of the backrest assembly and the front of the base. Further it includes a locking mechanism having a displacement member (48) movably received in the housing (42), the displacement member being displaceable between a locking orientation and an unlocking orientation, when the displacement member is in its locking orientation the locking member (50) is urged partially out of the aperture (50) in the housing to protrude a predetermined extent through the housing to effect locking and, when the displacement member is in its unlocking orientation, the locking member is free to be at least partially withdrawn in the housing to effect unlocking.

Abstract: A seating unit includes a rearwardly-open base frame with a pair of uprights on opposite rear side portions in spaced apart positions. A molded back has corner sections with cavities for matably telescopingly engaging the uprights, and a beam section extending between the corner sections for stabilizing the rear side portions when the molded back is engaging the uprights. A seat fastened to the base frame engages the molded back to retain the molded back on the upright sections. A cushion attached by a line of adhesive is perforated inward of the line, such that a majority of the cushion can be pulled off by tearing along the perforation line, allowing quick separation for recycling. The uprights have reduced an upper diameter for aesthetics but extend upwardly sufficiently to support armrest on the back.

Abstract: Disclosed is a supportive chair for sitting comfortably at low heights above and relative to the ground. Preferably, the chair comprises a primary seating surface and a secondary seating surface curving around the rear of the primary seating surface to provide additional support for the user. It is preferred that the secondary seating surface be inwardly and downwardly sloped and provide a low lateral boundary for the user, thereby promoting proper alignment of the buttocks on the primary seating surface. Thus, the chair raises the buttocks and hips of the user off of the seating level, creating a relative height difference between the hips and legs. This raising of the hips relative to the legs creates a sitting posture that promotes vertical back alignment. As a result, the user is able to comfortably maintain this position with a reduced amount of back muscle strain, allowing prolonged comfortable seating periods.

Abstract: An article of furniture made of a quasi-rigid foam material. The furniture includes a base for sitting thereon. A back support member is wrapped around the base such that a portion of the support member extends upwardly with respect to the base. The support member has a pair of ends that wrap around at least half of a cylindrical surface of the base to translate a force from an upwardly extending portion of the support member to the ends and prevent tearing of the support member from the base.

Abstract: A chair comprises an arm mechanism and a back mechanism each having an adjustment screw for releasably securing a sleeve and a shroud to a J-bar so that a height of either arm or back mechanism can be adjusted relative to the j-bar. Also, a protruded enlargement is formed at a top end of the upright backrest support.
