Preferably, a plurality of reinforcing ribs extends between opposing interior surfaces of the base shell.

Abstract: An easily assembled and disassembled modular furniture system is disclosed. The furniture system includes a base frame having a front member, a first side member, a second side member and a rear member. A plurality of furniture modules including a first arm module, a second arm module and one of a spring nest module and a sleeper module are mounted to the base frame using a plurality of fastener assemblies. Each fastener assembly includes two portions: a stud member and an aligning receptacle bracket. Each of the stud members and said brackets are secured to opposing locations of the base frame and at least one of the modules so that the modules may be positioned upon the frame by engaging the aligning receptacle brackets upon the corresponding stud members without the use of tools.

Abstract: An easily assembled and disassembled modular furniture system includes a base frame, a plurality of furniture modules including a first arm module, a second arm module, a seat suspension module and a backrest module, at least one fastener assembly for securing at least one of the modules to the base frame or the modules to each other. Also included is a replaceable upholstery cover for a corresponding one of at least one of the modules, the cover including a sheet of fabric with a first releasable fastener for tensioning the fabric in a first direction upon assembly to the module, and a second releasable fastener for tensioning the fabric in a second direction upon assembly to the module.

Abstract: A frame assembly (11) and child reception member (12, 112) such as a child reception nacelle or seat with a mutual removable fastening device. The fastening device has controllable hooking members (21, 23) which are arranged on the reception member (12, 112) to engage corresponding fixed hooking members (22) on the frame (11).

Abstract: A locking claw of a first seat locking mechanism is connected to a locking claw of a second seat locking mechanism by a second wire through a relay member so that, when the first seat locking mechanism is locked by an external force such as pressing down a seat by hand, the second seat locking mechanism is locked in conjunction with the first seat locking mechanism. The locking operations for a plurality of the first and second seat locking mechanisms can be carried out collectively and easily. In addition, locking of the plurality of lock members can be carried out assuredly without being influenced by dimensional variations, variations in assembly of a first and second U-shaped fixtures and the first and second seat locking mechanisms, by stiffness of the seat or the like. Therefore, repeated closing of the seat as in the case of the prior art where either one of a plurality of lock members fails to lock can be obviated, and convenience to use of the seat can be enhanced.

Abstract: A multi-purpose child support device comprises a frame having a base for placement on a floor surface and a support section positioned above said base. A seat element is configured for receiving a toddler child in a sitting position and is coupled with the support section above the floor surface for forming a high chair. The seat element is displaceably mounted to the frame and is operable for being selectively removed from the support section such that the support section receives an infant child carrier for supporting an infant child carrier above a floor surface.

Abstract: A chair comprises a seat; a support for the seat; and, a plurality of biasing members mounted between the support and the seat, the biasing members, in combination, have a compressive strength sufficiently high to essentially resist static movement of a person while seated in the chair and sufficiently low to cushion dynamic loads applied to the seat when a person sits down quickly in the chair. Alternately the chair comprises a plurality of connecting members extending between the seat and the support, each connecting member having at least one first detent member to lockingly connecting the seat to the support.

Four pads are engaged on the bars and engaged between the bars and the panels.

Abstract: A readily movable cafe chair that is multi-functional and therefore useable by its seated occupant in various ways. The chair includes a back section formed by a sculptured panel defining a flat figure whose head merges with a body region having outwardly swelling hips from which extend widely spaced legs between which is a crotch zone. Joined to the back section is a front section having a lobe-shaped seat whose front end is supported by a pair of front legs which are spaced from the rear legs and are coupled thereto by a fork. The arcuate rear end of the seat is attached at its apex to the crotch zone of the back section. The sides of the lobe-shaped seat curve inwardly toward the crotch zone to create free spaces adjacent the rear legs of the chair. Thus the occupant may seat himself in a direct mode facing forwardly, or in a reverse mode facing rearwardly. The occupant when seated with his back against the back section can safely back-tilt the chair.
