  • Patent number: 8950804
    Abstract: A bench includes a main frame (10), a sitting surface (11) and a backrest (12) which are each supported by the main frame. A sitting surface section (13) and a backrest section (14) are formed separately from the subregions (15, 16) of the sitting surface (11) and backrest (12). The sitting surface section (13) is pivotably connected to the backrest section (14) and can be lifted off from the main frame (10) and, by pivoting the backrest section (14) can be lifted out together with the backrest section (14) in a horizontal section (14) in a horizontal position at a distance from the sitting surface (11) of the seating furniture, forming an elongate arrangement of the backrest section (14) and sitting surface section (13).

  • Patent number: 8820826
    Abstract: A rolling table and seating system includes a first assembly folding between a first position with the first assembly forming a seat bottom, and a second storage position. A second assembly moves between a first position with the second assembly forming a table and a second position at which the second assembly forms a seat back complementary to the seat bottom. First linkages fold the first assembly and include a leg supporting the seat bottom at the first position, and lift and pivot the leg at the second storage position. Second linkages fold the second assembly and include a leg supporting the table at the first position and move the leg to a position with a lower end of the leg laterally outward from an upper end of the leg.

  • Patent number: 8733829
    Abstract: A composite chair to provide multiple use states includes a frame and at least one carrying portion and one movable portion located on the frame. The movable portion includes a movable deck, two coupling members and an adjustment member. Each of the coupling members has a fastening end hinged on the frame and an action end hinged on the movable deck. The action end has a swivel displacement against the fastening end. The adjustment member includes two guide tracks extended along the movable deck, a linkage bar with two ends held in the guide tracks and two movable arms bridging the linkage bar and movable deck. The linkage bar is movable in the guide tracks to allow the coupling members in the swivel displacement to incorporate with the movable arms to drive the movable deck to move upwards and downwards against the carrying portion to change different use states.

  • Patent number: 8550547
    Abstract: A transformable chair equipped with a movable deck comprises a frame, a movable unit and two chair units. The frame includes two posts, a transverse bar rotatably coupled with the two posts and two holding bars connected to the transverse bar. The movable unit includes a movable deck and a movable rack pivotally coupled with the movable deck and holding bars. The two chair units are pivotally coupled with the two posts and form a second rotary displacement against the frame. The movable deck has a moving displacement against the two posts. The movable rack can proceed a flipping displacement during the moving displacement against the two holding bars to drive the two holding bars to form a first rotary displacement so that the movable deck can form an unfolding state away from the transverse bar and a folding state leaning on the transverse bar.

  • Patent number: 4382627
    Abstract: Table top support arms are pivoted to a base frame and extend above and below it. The lower ends of the support arms are connected through linkages with picnic table bench sections having sliding engagement with the base frame. When the support arms are tilted in one direction on their pivots, the linkage draws the bench sections together to produce a single bench bottom and the table top which is pivotally supported on the support arms is swung to a back rest forming position. Stop elements on the support arms limit the swing of the support arms and also position the back rest and table top component.
