Abstract: A seat assembly includes a frame, a seating base layer arranged on the frame and a compression limiter layer arranged on the seating base layer. The compression limiter layer includes a coil portion and a wave portion having a curved profile. The wave portion includes a plurality of wave elements and one or more ribs connected between the wave elements. The seat assembly further includes a load distribution layer connected to the compression limiter layer and an adjustment module movable between a rear position and a forward position. The adjustment module is configured to move the wave portion between a retracted position and an extended position.

Abstract: A furniture member includes a leg rest assembly connected to a base frame of a furniture member and extensible away from a stowed position by movement in a direction coincident with a lateral centerline of the furniture member to a fully extended position. A leg rest mechanism is connected to the base frame and the leg rest assembly. A linkage assembly includes a first clamshell housing rotatably connected to the leg rest mechanism having a first extension link also rotatably connected to the leg rest mechanism positioned within the first clamshell housing. A second clamshell housing is rotatably connected to the first clamshell housing and to a leg rest mount board of the leg rest assembly having a first mount board link positioned within the second clamshell housing also rotatably connected to the first clamshell housing and to the leg rest mount board.

Abstract: A furniture member leg rest assembly includes a leg rest mechanism connected to a furniture member base frame. A leg rest mount board is connected to the leg rest mechanism and is extensible by actuation of the leg rest mechanism away from a stowed position by movement in a direction coincident with a lateral centerline of the furniture member to a fully extended and a center position of the leg rest mount board. A pin rotatably connects the leg rest mechanism to the base frame such that the leg rest mount board when positioned in the fully extended and the center position is further manually rotatable with respect to a leg rest axis of rotation defined by the pin in at least one of a clockwise or a counterclockwise direction of rotation creating a furniture member occupant egress space.

Abstract: A vehicle seating assembly includes a seat frame. A first leg support is pivotally coupled with a forward portion of the seat frame. The first leg support is operable between raised and lowered positions. A first extendable member is disposed on a top portion of the first leg support and is operable between extended and retracted positions. A second leg support is adjacent to and independent of the first leg support and is pivotally coupled with the forward portion of the seat frame. The second leg support is operable between raised and lowered positions. A second extendable member is disposed on a top portion of the second leg support and is operable between extended and refracted positions.

Abstract: A novel salon chair having a novel movable footrest assembly with a sliding or pivoting footrest which replaces a conventional rigid tubular one-piece footrest typical of salon chairs. The salon chair includes a chair portion structured for being elevated above a floor surface, the chair portion having a seat portion elevated on a support portion and a seat back portion. A footrest portion has a foot support portion that is movable between an extended configuration relative to the seat portion of the chair portion, and a retracted configuration relative thereto. An actuator mechanism coupled between the chair portion and the footrest portion is structured for moving the foot support portion between the extended and retracted configurations.

Abstract: A calf rest is provided for a patient chair. The calf rest may comprise a plate-shaped calf rest pad and a mounting is be mounted on the patient chair by means of a joint arrangement. The joint arrangement may be designed so that the calf rest pad is movable between an inactive moved-away end position, in which the extent of the calf rest pad is substantially parallel to one side of the patient chair and the calf rest pad can be positioned close to the patient chair, and a second active end position, where the calf rest pad is capable of supporting the patient's legs when extended, outwards away from the patient chair.

Abstract: A manipulation device is for wheelchair footrests that have a pair of shafts (8) extending forwards from opposite forward sides of the main frame (2) and a pair of foot plates (9) pivoted at lateral portions to the shafts. This device has manual levers (21) at the forward sides and actuating means (40) that connects the levers (21) to foot plates (9) and consists of a resilient tube (41), a metal wire (42) and a setting retainer (43) for securing the tube to the wire. The tube (41) can elongate in response to an extraordinary tension exceeding a normal stress imparted to said tube, and the wire (42) loosely inserted in the tube (41) can alter an exposed length. An end of each wire (42) is connected to the foot plate (9) at its rear portion located near the shaft (8) pivoting the foot plate. An end of each tube (41) is connected to the manual lever (21) operating to pull up the tube (41) with the wire (42) such that the foot plate (9) rotates and rises to the upright idle position.

Abstract: A foot rest lifting and lowering device for a wheelchair. The device includes a footrest coupled to a wheelchair. The footrest includes a bar attached to the wheelchair, a horizontally orientated rod rotatable coupled to a bottom end of the bar, and a plate integrally coupled to the bar and is positionable between a horizontal position and a vertical position. The device includes a shaft rotatably mounted to the wheelchair. A first and second flexible elongated member each have a first end and a second end. The first end of the first elongated member is coupled to a top surface of the plate. The first end of the second elongated member is attached to a bottom surface of the plate. The second ends of the elongated members are attached to the shaft and wound about the shaft in opposite directions to each other.
