142 Sit-Stand Chair US13326146 2011-12-14 US20120086252A1 2012-04-12 Simon Hong
The present invention is a sitting device that gives the user an option to sit with one side of his/her lower portion of the body (e.g., buttock, thigh and leg) supported by a half seat, while maintaining a standing posture with the unsupported leg. Since the standing posture naturally keeps the lumbar lordosis, the device eliminates the source of sitting-related back pain. In an embodiment, the sitting device includes two half seats that can be raised or collapsed individually, and a foot stool for the foot to rest in case it is raised. The user can change the positions of the half seats manually by pushing one of the provided buttons. Or it can be automatic if the user uses a controller to program how frequently the half seats alternate, or both of them be in supporting position at the same time to use the device as an ordinary chair.

153 CORE MOVING FITNESS CHAIR US12812026 2009-01-05 US20100289311A1 2010-11-18 Jae Hun Shim
The present invention relates to a core-moving health chair comprising: an outer frame where the structure of the chair is divided into a circumferential zone and a central zone; a central inner frame where the floor frame of the chair is divided into a circumferential zone and a central zone; a core-moving means which is attached to the floor frame of the chair and which moves the central inner frame upwards or downwards; and a core-driving means which drives the core-moving means and moves the core upwards or downwards. The present invention provides a core-moving health chair which can change the pressure at the portion being compressed under body weight when the chair is being sat upon. The core of the chair is assembled on the core-moving means, the position of the core of the chair is moved by means of the core-moving means, and the core-moving movement is driven by means of a motor. If the core-moving means is provided in the seating location of the chair, then a person sitting on the chair can experience a change in the pressure distribution on the buttocks. This feature allows the contact pressure of the chair to be adjusted to suit the requirements of the individual. Alternatively, air circulation in the buttock region can be adjusted. By changing the region where pressure is applied to the buttocks, the present invention can be used to promote health for example with sphincter-muscle exercise and Kegel exercise while seated on the chair.
