Kinetic seat assemblies having dampers for fixed components and movable components including lateral damping mechanisms and fluid reservoirs

A kinetic seat assembly comprising:

• a primary seat cushion frame;
• a secondary seat cushion frame movable relative to the primary seat cushion frame;
• a primary seat back frame;
• a secondary seat back frame movable relative to the primary seat back frame;
• a pair of lateral dampers extending between the primary seat back frame and the secondary seat back frame;
• and
• a first fluid reservoir for providing a fluid into the pair of lateral dampers, the first fluid reservoir operable to control a rate at which fluid is provided to and drawn out of the pair of lateral dampers to control a damping effect.

A kinetic seat assembly comprising:

• a primary seat cushion frame;
• a secondary seat cushion frame pivotally coupled to the primary seat cushion frame;
• a primary seat back frame;
• a secondary seat back frame pivotally coupled to the primary seat back frame;
• a pair of vertical dampers extending between the secondary seat back frame and the primary seat cushion frame;
• and
• a fluid reservoir for providing a fluid into the pair of vertical dampers to control a rate at which fluid is provided to and drawn out of the pair of vertical dampers.
