Abstract: A positionable chair-lounge has a base which has transverse support beams, a movable top section that has transverse beams and is supported upon rollers that engage arcuate tracks secured to the base, a gear head motor type of power assembly which directly drives a threaded shaft and a drive tube through an irreversible drive. One end of the power assembly is pivotally attached to the top section by a guiding bracket and the other end is pivotally attached to the base by a guiding bracket. The base and seat transverse beams and the power assembly are positioned so that the seat can be moved in an arcuate path relative to the base.

Abstract: An adjustable bed or like furniture has a frame, a box spring with articulated base sections for different parts of the body, a box spring having a plurality of coil springs attached to each of the base sections, with framelike means to enable the box spring sections to hinge, a matress having like sections, frame and coil springs, a single motor pivotally connected to the frame producing movement fore and aft of the bed, drive means including levers and a cable connected through the levers to elevate the head section to slant it upward toward the head end of the frame and to elevate the upper leg section to slant it upward towards the foot end of the frame, the arrangements of the springs and frames causing the box spring and mattress to follow these elevations of the sections.
