  • Patent number: 10674827
    Abstract: A displacement auxiliary device for an accessory of a chair is revealed. The auxiliary device is disposed on the chair and used in combination with the accessory of the chair such as an armrest, a lumbar support, a headrest, etc. The auxiliary device includes a displacement member, a fixing plate and a loading plate. The displacement member further includes two rotating members that are rotated a large angle around two rotary shafts respectively and symmetrically to be moved inward to a first position or extended outward to a second position. The accessory of the chair stays still without displacement when the two rotating members are moved inward to the first position. The accessory of the chair moves synchronously while the two rotating members are extended outward to the second position. Thereby the accessory of the chair can be adjusted to have larger displacement.

  • Patent number: 10537175
    Abstract: An armrest adjuster is revealed. The armrest adjuster includes an armrest disposed on a top surface of an armrest support. The armrest consists of an armrest pad, an armrest base connected to an armrest cover of the armrest pad to form an armrest body, a first component, a second component fixed between the armrest base and the top surface of the armrest support and arranged with a projecting shaft thereof in the fore-and-aft direction, a first shaft cover, a second shaft cover, and at least one damper. The armrest can not only be changed between a button-free mode and a button mode easily, but also can be installed optionally for adjustment in fore-and-aft direction or lateral direction, or rotation from side to side, with/or without damping action. Thereby the armrest is easy to be installed and the side-view height of the armrest can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 10058183
    Abstract: A headrest lifting mechanism is revealed. The headrest lifting mechanism is disposed on a seat back and including a lifting base, a bottom-side vertical support and an elastic positioning rod. A headrest is connected to an upper end of the bottom-side vertical support. A positioning end of the elastic positioning rod fixed on the bottom-side vertical support is moved downward into one of the slots of the lifting base owing to material elasticity when the bottom-side vertical support is assembled with the lifting base. Thus the bottom-side vertical support and the positioning end are slid and positioned together in the slots of the lifting base. The number of the parts is reduced and the assembly is simplified. This enables cost reduction and mass production.

  • Patent number: 10010182
    Abstract: An adjustment device for vertically adjusting a chair headrest is revealed and is installed on a seat back frame while in use. The adjustment device includes a sliding member, a fixing member and a button set. A vertical toothed part of the button set is moved and separated from a first rack of the sliding member when the button set is pressed. Then the sliding member is moved vertically relative to the fixing member for synchronous adjustment of vertical position of the headrest. After the button set being released, the vertical toothed part of the button set is turned back and engaged with the first rack of the sliding member. Thus the sliding member and the headrest are positioned at a new position after the adjustment.
