Abstract:

An article of seating furniture is provided with a lift mechanism. The article can be a chair with a base and a seat that is pivotally connected to the base. A back is coupled to the seat and may be either fixed to the seat or rotatably coupled to the seat. An actuator is mounted to the base extending towards the rear of the chair. The actuator is pivotally coupled to the base on one end and is pivotally coupled to the seat on the other end. The actuator moves the seat between a generally horizontal position and a raised position. With the back rotatably mounted to the seat, a linkage bar can be added that extends from base front to a bracket that mounts the back to the seat. The linkage bar reclines the back as the seat is raised from horizontal position to the raised position.

Abstract:

A mechanism for mounting a foldable-bed unit in an article of furniture is described. A pair of mounting plates each including a first and second bracket is mounted on opposite ends of a cavity in the article of furniture. The brackets include a U-shaped slot configured to accept a fixture having an enlarged head. A retaining tab is included within one or more of the brackets to retain the fixture therein. The first brackets are located rearwardly of the second brackets and at an angle such that the slot therein is tilted forwardly. The second brackets are oriented to provide a generally vertical orientation to the slots therein. A foldable-bed unit having fixtures corresponding to each of the brackets is installed into the article of furniture by inserting corresponding fixtures into the first brackets. The foldable-bed unit is rotated to insert the remaining fixtures into the second brackets.

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a linear actuator including an external adjustable variable limit switch. The linear actuator allows the position of the limit switch to be adjusted without disassembling the linear actuator or motor. In one embodiment, the linear actuator includes a profile tube having an upper end and a lower end, a slot that runs from the upper end to the lower end of the profile tube, and an internal track that runs from the upper end to the lower end of the profile tube. The linear actuator also includes at least one limit switch mounted on the slot and a limit switch adjuster and a locking fastener configured to permit the position of the limit switch to be adjusted without disassembly of the linear actuator or motor. The limit switch adjuster is further configured to be positioned in the internal track.
