Publication number: 20240138577Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relates to the field of furniture. Provided is a sofa seat stretching device. In the sofa seat stretching device, one end of a second support facing away from a first support, and a second leg rest plate connector are hinged at a fourth hinge point, so that the stretching assembly's stretching speed is reduced in a process of switching from a sitting position state to a lying position state when a driving assembly acts in the same way, and the weightlessness feeling can be effectively avoided. Moreover, the driving assembly drives the stretching assembly so that the process of switching the stretching assembly from the lying position state to the sitting position state is smoother.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2021Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Liming YANG, Qiqi YE, Bin SHEN, Kangming TAO, Hanhao TU

Publication number: 20240138578Abstract: The bed with flowing water sound effect maintains a flow of water. The turbulence generated by the flow of water generates a noise commonly called white noise. The bed with flowing water sound effect is positioned near a bed. The white noise generated by the bed with flowing water sound effect helps the patient to sleep. The bed with flowing water sound effect incorporates a fluid management structure, a control circuit, and the bed. The bed further comprises a headboard. The fluid management structure mounts and the control circuit mount in the headboard. The fluid management provides the flow paths and the motive forces necessary to generate the flow of water. The control circuit: a) controls the operation of the fluid management structure; b) provides the fluid management structure with electric energy; and, c) generates an illumination that is visible from the headboard.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventor: TRAVIS WASHINGTON
