  • Patent number: 11045000
    Abstract: A base seat for a bed, chair or sofa includes a fixation base, first and second rocking mounts, four arms pivotally connected between the fixation base and the first rocking mount such that a distance between top ends of each paired arms is smaller than a distance between bottom ends of the paired arms, and another four arms pivotally connected between the first and second rocking mounts such that a distance between top ends of each paired arms is smaller than a distance between bottom ends of the paired arms. First and second drive devices respectively drive the first and second rocking mounts to swing leftward and rightward relative to the fixation base and forward and backward relative to the first rocking mount along first and second arc paths with variable inclined angles, such that the base seat has a multidirectional swinging function with desired inclined angles during swinging.

  • Publication number: 20190298064
    Abstract: A base seat, which is adapted for being used with a bed or a chair, includes a fixation base, a rocking mount, a drive device, and a swivel mount. The rocking mount is disposed above the fixation base and reciprocatingly and inclinedly moveable relative to the fixation base. The drive device is disposed between the fixation base and the rocking mount to drive the rocking mount to reciprocatingly and inclinedly move relative to the fixation base. The swivel mount is disposed above the rocking mount and rotatable relative to the rocking mount. By rotating the swivel mount and driving the rocking mount to reciprocatingly and inclinedly move, the bed or chair, which is fixedly mounted to the swivel mount, is swingable in a desired direction.

  • Patent number: 8418290
    Abstract: A motorized bed includes a bed body and a driving device. The bed body includes a base frame, a fixed frame, and a movable frame. The driving device includes a drive unit mounted on the fixed frame, a guide tube mounted on the drive unit, a threaded rod mounted in the guide tube, an extension tube mounted in the guide tube and having a first end provided with a push portion and a second end connected with the movable frame, and a threaded mover moved by the threaded rod and movable to abut the push portion. Thus, when a human body is disposed between the movable frame and the base frame, the human body only needs to overcome the weight of the movable frame to detach the extension tube from the mover, so that the movable frame stops moving immediately.

  • Publication number: 20110271446
    Abstract: An electric foldable bed capable of being adjusted to a memorized position has a fold bed having motors connected to a headboard and a footboard. A microcomputer is installed on the bed frame and used for controlling the motors. The microcomputer has a computing section, a memory section, a register section and a comparing section. The computing section detects a position of each motor and computes elevation angle data provided by the memory section, the register section and the comparing section. The memory section is used to store predetermined elevation angle data, the register section is used to receive control commands and store the elevation angle data input by the computing section. The comparing section is used for comparing the elevation angle data from both the memory section and the register section. The sensor is installed onto each motor and used for sensing a rotational number count of the motor.

  • Publication number: 20110101749
    Abstract: A lower-back supporting structure for a bed or a chair includes a sliding base, two scissor lifts, a driver and a supporting member. The sliding base has a pair of slide slots and a pair of rotating pins, a securing portion between the two rotating pins, and a plurality of the locking apertures. Two scissor lifts both have an X-shaped frame having a pivot. A driver has a positioning end, an extendable rod, a through hole and a sliding rod placed through the slide slot, the through hole and the first front cotter holes. A supporting member has a pair of slide tracks and a pair of rotating holes. The driver drives the sliding rod along the slide slot of the sliding base to shorten the extendable rod, the scissor lifts rotate around the pivots to lift such that the supporting member is pushed away from the sliding base.
