  • Patent number: 9033411
    Abstract: A chair including a dynamically-flexible back and seat having a shape that adjusts to the movements of a user seated in the chair to enhance user comfort. Each of the back and seat has an air gap formed therewithin and a resilient frame or liner with a spring memory. The resilient liner is adapted to flex in response to compressive forces that are generated as the user slides his body back or from side-to-side in the chair. Accordingly, some of the chair back and some of the chair seat move into respective air gaps so that the shapes of the back and seat change to conform to the movements of the user. The air gaps also establish air flow ventilation channels which run laterally through the back and seat of the chair.

  • Patent number: 5669658
    Abstract: A convertible table and support characterized by a support which is pivotally mounted on a support frame and may be reversibly pivoted from an upright sitting position resting on the support frame to an inverted position adjacent to the support frame to define a bench and table combination. The support is characterized by a seat which rests on the support frame when the support is in the upright sitting position with a backrest extending upwardly from the rear edge of the seat. A pivoting arm extends from each side of the seat adjacent to the front edge thereof and is pivotally mounted between respective support frame arms extending upwardly from the support frame. When the support is in the inverted or table position, the horizontally-oriented seat is supported by the support frame and the backrest and functions as a table top, while the support frame defines a bench. In a preferred embodiment an armrest is provided on each side of the support between the backrest and seat.
