Abstract: A furniture piece comprises a back section, a seat section, a leg section, a pair of laterally spaced arm sections, and a pair of front corner sections which are respectively disposed beneath the pair of laterally spaced arm sections and disposed upon opposite sides of said leg section. The pair of front corner sections, the leg section, and the seat section comprise cushioned sections such that collectively, the pair of front corner sections, the leg section, and the seat section define a T-cushioned structure for the furniture piece. In addition, the pair of front corner sections are movable in forward and backward directions and have storage compartments defined therein such that when either one of said pair of front corner sections is moved forwardly from a retracted or closed position, to an extended or open position, the storage compartment is rendered accessible such that items can be inserted into or removed from the storage compartment.

Abstract: A powered actuator system for moving a lumbar support bar of a furniture piece is disclosed and comprises a single dual-directional powered actuator mounted upon a foundation base with respect to which the lumbar support bar is to be moved between fully extended and fully retracted positions, as well as a multiplicity of intermediate positions. The single dual-directional powered actuator is operatively connected to a first end portion of the lumbar support bar by means of a first main lifting link, while a synchronization bar operatively interconnects the first main lifting link with a second main lifting link operatively connected to a second end portion of the lumbar support bar. In this manner, the lumbar support bar is moved between its extended and retracted positions in a rectilinear and balanced mode.

Abstract: The invention concerns a seat back (10) for an article of adjustable furniture comprising: a frame (12), at least one movable support section (14, 80) mounted for angular adjustment with respect to the frame; cam means (64) associated with one of the frame and the movable support section, cam follower means (58) associated with the other of the frame and the movable support section; actuator means (38) for moving said cam means or cam follower means associated with the frame with respect to the frame; whereby movement of said actuator means effects relative movement of said cam means with respect to said cam follower means and said relative movement effects angular adjustment of said support section relative to the frame to alter the seat back configuration. The present invention contemplates embodiments where the support section(s) comprise(s) an adjustable head rest (14), an adjustable lumbar support (80) or both.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to furniture, and more particularly to a chair, particularly a lounger chair, wherein at least one side arm portion of the chair is provided with a lower fixed arm segment, and an upper slidably movable arm segment. A storage receptacle for holding various devices, such as, for example, a book, magazine, remote control devices, a wireless charging pad, a dock, is fixedly secured within the lower fixed arm segment. Alternatively, the storage receptacle can comprise at least one cup holder for holding a beverage.

Abstract: A console unit having a compartment door operatively incorporated therein, and within the upper part of the compartment or door, there is provided a storage receptacle for holding various different items, such as, for example, a book, a magazine, remote control devices, a wireless charging pad, a dock, or alternatively, the storage receptacle comprises at least one cup holder for holding a beverage container, and wherein further a motorized mechanism is provided within the console for moving the component, compartment, or door of the console unit between a first position at which the component, compartment, or door is CLOSED such that the storage receptacle or at least one cup holder is hidden within a forward section of the console unit, and a second position at which the component, compartment, or door is OPENED and projects forwardly and outwardly from the console unit such that the storage receptacle or the at least one cup holder is exposed and may in fact be utilized to hold various items, such as, for

Abstract: A swivel base assembly, for use in conjunction with an electrically powered chair, is disclosed. The swivel base assembly provides the necessary electrical power to the electrically powered chair without the electrical power cord becoming entangled around the upstanding column, or similar support structure, upon which the body portion of the electrically powered chair is mounted upon the swivel base assembly if the electrically powered chair is rotated multiple times through means of an angular displacement or movement of 360° or more, as a result of the disposition of a rotary electrical connected interposed between the swivel base assembly and the electrically powered chair.

Abstract: The invention provides an adjustable bed comprising a frame (20) and at least one adjustable body support section including at least an adjustable backrest support section (12) pivotally mounted for angular adjustment with respect to the frame. The frame comprises at least two hinged sections (20a, 20b) including a head end sub-assembly configured as an upper body supporting section on which the backrest support section is mounted, and a separate toe end sub-assembly configured as a lower body supporting section hinged with respect to the upper body supporting section. Actuator means (40) is disposed within at least the upper body section for angular adjustment of the adjustable body support section. The head end sub-assembly and the toe end sub-assembly are capable of being folded together to reduce the length dimension of the bed for transportation and/or storage purposes and subsequently unfolded to provide a full length adjustable bed.
