Abstract: A multifunction wheelchair, with fixed or folding frame, is described. The multifunction wheelchair is reconfigurable, by a transformation mechanism, between a normal use, ergonomic configuration and a roll-over-toilet configuration. This transformation involves raising the seat of the wheelchair, as needed, to position the wheelchair over the determined height of a toilet, and opening a seat closure mechanism to expose a cutout in the seat for toilet use. This transformation may be at least partially automated. In examples, the multifunction wheelchair is equipped with electronics (e.g., camera, microcontroller) to determine the toilet seat height for making height and/or steering adjustments. The transformation mechanism may be provided as a retrofit kit.

Abstract: The invention is a foldable chair for use by hunters and outdoorsmen. The chair is equipped with folding leg elements positioned at opposite ends of a frame-mounted seating surface. The leg assemblies have different heights, allowing the chair to be positioned on uneven terrain. Additionally, the chair is provided with a relocatable backrest, which may be pivoted from one side of the seating surface to the other. A carrying strap is provided for facilitating carrying of the chair.

Abstract: A furniture assembly and its associated method of use. The assembly includes a plurality of lateral elements. Each of the lateral elements is held in parallel and forms the primary surfaces of the furniture. The lateral elements are held together in parallel by interconnected rigid linkage elements. Each rigid linkage element engages two adjacent elongated elements. The rigid linkage elements can fold into two configurations. In a first configuration, the rigid linkage elements lock together and form a first piece of furniture. In a second configuration, the rigid linkage elements either enable the assembly to be folded for storage or lock together to form a second piece of furniture.

Abstract: A folding recliner includes an extendable frame, a rear frame, a backrest frame, and a seat frame that have sequentially reduced widths. The rear frame is pivotally connected at two lower ends to two rear inner sides of the extendable frame, the backrest frame has two hooked upper ends for detachably engaging with one of many crossbars of the rear frame, the backrest frame is pivotally connected at lower ends to rear ends of the seat frame, and front ends of the seat frame are pivotally connected to two front inner sides of the extendable frame and a U-shaped leg. Therefore, when the recliner is fully folded, the rear frame, the backrest frame, and the seat frame are sequentially nested in the extendable frame to locate in the same plane, enabling the folded recliner to occupy the smallest possible space.

Abstract: A reclining chair (10), having a frame (16) including first and second angled members (32) and first and second upright members (34). A support surface (18) has a back portion (15) which is held in position by the first and second upright members (34). Each of the first and second upright members (34) is attached to one of first and second angled members (32) by reversible joints (39), so that the reclining chair (10) is movable from an upright position (12) when the reversible joints (39) are in a first position, to a reclining position (14) when the reversible joints (39) have been reversed to a second position.

Abstract: A patient transporting device which is capable of functioning as a wheelchair and as a stretcher. The device has a seat assembly which can also be readily converted, while mounted on the frame, to function as a stretcher. The conversion of the seat assembly into a stretcher shifts the seat forwardly relative to the base as the back is folded down to maintain the center of gravity of a patient more centrally located over the base.

Abstract: A folding chair comprises lower and upper frame sections formed generally as U-shaped members, each having a pair of legs and a central portion between the pair of legs. The ends of the central section are connected to the legs by a pair of curved frame portions curved in planes such that the central frame portions have longitudinal axes displaced away from the legs. The frame sections are preferably formed to be generally identical except that the legs of one frame section may be longer than the legs of the other. The ends of the frame sections are connected together by hinges. A flexible material formed generally as a sling is mounted to the central portions of the upper and lower frame sections to support the weight of a person sitting in the chair. The frame and the hinges the legs cooperate to retain the angle between the upper and lower frame sections at an value determined by the position of the user in the chair.

Abstract: A folding chair, having a seat and a backrest hinged together and supported by two pairs of crossed legs pivotably associated one with another, is adjusted by way of a device making use of a pivot, associated with the top end of one leg and rotatable about its own axis, which features an oval head with a double cam profile and a pin extending issuing from the head; the pin and the head occupy first and second tracks of substantially zig-zag profile, integral with or fitted to the chair seat, and adjustment of the reclining angle of the chair is effected by moving the pivot along the tracks from end to end through a sequence of mandatory steps that coincide with a plurality of stable positions of the pivot, each corresponding to a given angle of the backrest.

Abstract: The present wheel chair, especially for invalids, is foldable in a vertical irection rather than horizontally to transform the chair into a very compact package. For this purpose all foldable components of the chair are equipped with journals having journal axes extending perpendicularly to a vertical central plane of symmetry of the chair. Further, the seat is vertically liftable and also horizontally guided on guide tracks (18) extending in parallel to the plane of symmetry of the chair. The guide tracks (18) are movable back and forth on guide rail sections (17) which are pivoted to the top of the support structure (4) of the chair. Hydraulic piston cylinder drives are connected to all chair components which are movable under a loaded condition with a person sitting in the chair. The chair seat is also divided so that the chair may be moved directly over a toilet seat, for example.

Abstract: A reclining chair having a collapsible construction in which a chair body composed of a back-rest and seat portion pivotally coupled to each other is rotatably pivoted onto a stool composed of frame members in such a manner that said back-rest can be adjusted to a desired angle of inclination with a longitudinal movement of said seat portion interlocked therewith when the reclining chair is extended for use, while said back-rest can be folded onto said seat portion and brought down together therewith to a position between said frame members in the folded position thereof when the reclining chair is not used, with intermediately folded positions being available, as desired, for a tentative storage thereof.

Abstract: A sun chair is provided which is easily adjustable to achieve any conceivable orientation to which the human body will conform and comprises a lower platform which forms the bottom half of the chair deck and can be oriented to any angle between the horizontal and the vertical and supported in this position by a ground supporting member which is drawn toward the lower platform by either a strap or a rack structure, and an upper platform defining the upper half of the chair deck is pivoted to the lower half and supported on the ground support member such that it may achieve any conceivable angle relative to the lower platform.

Abstract: An adjustable deck-chair comprises a frame having two lateral frame portions interconnected by a cross-bar. A seat-back assembly is pivotably supported by the lateral portions of the frame and is movable between an upright position in which the back is substantially perpendicular to the seat and a reclined position in which the seat and the back enclose an angle approximating 180.degree.. The seat-back assembly is arrested in the upright position by a force exerted on the seat by a friction and detent member which is pivotably supported on the cross-bar and frictionally and wedgingly engages a portion of the seat frame. The lateral portions of the frame may be collapsible.
