A seating unit (50) includes a perimeter frame (90), a flexible seating surface supported by the frame, and parallel elongated resilient force-distributing members (103) coupled to the seating surface to control a contour of the seating surface when supporting a user. The resilient force-distributing members (103) are bendable along their length and are sufficient in number and distribution to substantially reduce localized deflection of the seating surface and thereby reduce pressure point contact felt by the user. The resilient force-distributing members (103) can be wire rods, long strips, or other resilient material with memory. The resilient force-distributing members (103) can be supported on opposing sides of the perimeter frame in various ways to reduce inward pressure on the opposing sides during flexure of the resilient force-distributing members (103).

A chair includes a base, a seat, a back, and a control operably supporting the seat and back on the base for movement between upright and recline positions. The seat and back include a stiff perimeter frame with opposing perimeter sections, and a plurality of rods each independently bendable in vertical and angled directions. End bearings on the rods are captured in pockets in the perimeter frame, which limits their inward and outward sliding movement. The control includes front and rear leaf springs and a pivot arm operably supporting the seat and the back for synchronous movement, with the direction of movement being such that energy is stored during recline. The energy stored during recline assists in providing a heavier person with added counterbalancing force during recline. A booster mechanism is also selectively engageable for added support upon recline.

167 Elastic support assembly for chair US12203334 2008-09-03 US07568769B1 2009-08-04 Teng-Fu Chuang
An elastic support assembly for a chair includes two opposite mounting members each attached to the chair, a flat elastic strip mounted between the mounting members, and a circular elastic cord mounted between the mounting members. Thus, the flat elastic strip and the circular elastic cord are mounted between the mounting members to reinforce the strength of the elastic support assembly so that the elastic support assembly has a greater strength to withstand a larger load. In addition, the flat elastic strip co-operates with the circular elastic cord to support the mounting members so that the elastic support assembly is not deformed or distorted easily during a long-term utilization or due to a heavier load, thereby greatly enhancing the lifetime of the elastic support assembly.
