  • Patent number: 11492510
    Abstract: This invention relates to a coating comprising prepolymer and monomers for application onto polyurethane for chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, water proof etc. Usually polyurethane is porous and does not have sufficient stain, abrasion and chemical resistance. The said coatings developed using technology of chemical grafting that involves the use of prepolymers, monomers, catalyst, graft initiator, wetting agents, fillers and other ingredients of the composition. The coating thus obtained when applied on the polyurethane allows obtaining graft polymerization, thereby forming a polymeric film chemically attached to the substrate. The polyurethane substrate is reacted with craft initiator which creates the reaction sites on the substrate via free radical mechanism.

  • Patent number: 10172464
    Abstract: The invention relates to a chair having a seat structure formed by a frame member that defines a central opening. A flexible membrane extends across the central opening. A pair of support pads, one disposed on either side of the cross-beam member, is provided and arranged at a level below the central opening of the frame member. The support pads are arranged within the seat structure so as to be rearwardly disposed with respect to the front edge of the frame by a first distance and spaced apart from each other by a second distance, the first and second distances generally corresponding to the positioning of the ischicial tuberosity of a user when the user assumes a seated position engaging the seat structure.

  • Publication number: 20160262546
    Abstract: A convertible furniture apparatus including a plurality of three pivotally interconnecting planar cushioned sections with a rearward most section, an intermediate section, and a forward most section. A support structure to which the rearward most section is pivotally secured along a first crosswise axis extending along an upper most edge proximate underside thereof. A second crosswise axis interconnecting the rearward most and intermediate sections and a third crosswise axis interconnecting the intermediate and forward-most cushioned sections. A support frame extending from an underside of the forward-most section and which can be displaced within the support structure and underneath the rearward most and intermediate sections in a reverse folded arrangement associated with a chair configuration. The forward most cushion section being displaced outwardly from the support structure concurrent with unfolding of the interconnected sections to achieve a horizontal extended bed configuration.
