    Abstract: A convertible chair adapted for conversion between a sitting configuration and a kneeling configuration includes_a base support, a knee-back rest movably coupled to the base support by a pivot arm, a seat movably coupled to the base support by a coupling mechanism, and a connecting arm linking the pivot arm and the seat. The seat is arranged to move relative to the base support between a first seat position corresponding to the sitting configuration and a second seat position corresponding to the kneeling configuration. The pivot arm is arranged to pivot relative to the base support between a first pivot arm position in which the knee-back rest is in a first knee-back rest position for use as a back rest and a second pivot arm position in which the knee-back rest is in a second knee-back rest position for use as a knee rest.

  • Patent number: 9370269
    Abstract: A pillow that includes two sheets of flexible material, joined together to define a space and that is inflatable to provide a cushioned support. The pillow has a head zone that provides cushioning for a user's head and two wings that are configured to extend away from the head zone such that the pillow is substantially U-shaped in the plane of the pillow, when deflated. A channel extends between the sheets of flexible material to connect the wings. The channel is positioned at a point in the head zone furthermost from the wing ends. The width of the channel increases from the center line such that when the pillow is inflated, the pillow has a substantially V-shaped profile that is formed about the centerline and centered on the channel.
