Abstract
Dynamic furniture having platforms in dynamic attachment to an actuator assembly that in turn is in dynamic attachment to a base. Use of motional platforms supported by a motional actuator assembly permits an article of the furniture to conform to the many and varied body positions a user wants, and allows a user to more easily change body positions while remaining within the furniture, and in medical scenarios may obviate most needs to transfer a patient from one article of furniture to another.
Claims41
Dynamic furniture for supporting a seated or reclining user, said furniture comprising:
- a base;
- an actuator assembly, in orbital connection to said base, having a proximate portion and a distal portion;
- a seat platform, in orbital connection to said proximate portion of said actuator assembly;
- a back platform, in orbital connection to said distal portion of said actuator assembly;
- and
- a flex joint, linking said seat platform to said back platform.
Dynamic furniture for supporting a seated or reclining user, said furniture comprising:
- a base;
- a front boom in circular orbital connection to said base;
- a rear boom in circular orbital connection to said base;
- an actuator assembly having a proximate portion in circular orbital connection to said front boom and a distal portion in circular orbital connection to said rear boom, whereby the combination of said front boom circular connection to both said actuator assembly and said base, and said rear boom circular connection to both said actuator assembly and said base acts in concert to allow an excentric orbital connection between said actuator assembly and said base;
- a seat platform, in orbital connection to said proximate portion of said actuator assembly;
- and
- a back platform, in orbital connection to said distal portion of said actuator assembly.

- a base;
- an actuator assembly, in excentric orbital connection to said base, having a proximate portion and a distal portion;
- a seat platform, in orbital connection to said proximate portion of said actuator assembly;
- and
- a back platform, in orbital connection to said distal portion of said actuator assembly;
Dynamic furniture for supporting a seated or reclining user, said furniture comprising:
- a base;
- an actuator assembly, in orbital connection to said base, having a proximate portion and a distal portion;

- a seat platform, in orbital connection to said proximate portion of said actuator assembly;
- and
- a back platform, in excentric orbital connection to said distal portion of said actuator assembly.
Dynamic furniture for supporting a seated or reclining user, said furniture comprising:
- a base;
- an actuator assembly, in orbital connection to said base, having a proximate portion and a distal portion;
- a lower support, in orbital connection to said proximate portion of said actuator assembly, defining a seat platform in rotational connection to a leg rest platform;
- and
- an upper support, in orbital connection to said distal portion of said actuator assembly, defining a back platform in rotational connection to a head rest platform.
