Abstract: Support elements (100) and support structures (108) form the basis of ergonomic body supports for chairs, mattresses and other structures. The support elements may be individually designed according to their location and body support function. Thus, the structures that include the support elements may provide point-tailored support for any part of the body to enhance comfort, fit, and proper anatomical support.

Abstract translation: 支撑元件（100）和支撑结构（108）构成了椅子，床垫和其他结构的符合人体工程学的机身支撑的基础。 支撑元件可以根据其位置和身体支撑功能单独设计。 因此，包括支撑元件的结构可以为身体的任何部分提供点定制的支撑，以增强舒适性，适合性和适当的解剖支撑。

Abstract: A workstation (11) is disclosed which includes a vertical column (19) adapted to be supported on a floor; a height adjustment mechanism (21, 23) adapted to travel up and down the height of the column and to be fixed at desired heights; and a horizontal worksurface (17) having a rear edge and a front edge, the worksurface (17) attached to the height adjustment mechanism (21, 23) so that the column is adjacent a point generally midway along the rear edge of the worksurface. The workstation (11) preferably includes a counterbalance system (127).

Abstract: A suspended pixelated seating structure provides ergonomic, adaptable seating support. The suspended pixelated seating structure includes multiple cooperative layers to maximize global comfort and support while enhancing adaptation to localized variations in a load, such as in the load applied when a person sits in a chair. The cooperative layers each use independent elements such as pixels, springs, support rails, and other elements to provide this adaptable comfort and support. The suspended pixelated seating structure also uses aligned material to provide a flexible yet durable suspended seating structure. Accordingly, the suspended pixelated seating structure provides maximum comfort for a wide range of body shapes and sizes.

Abstract translation: 悬挂的像素化座椅结构提供符合人体工程学的适应性座椅支撑。 悬挂的像素化座椅结构包括多个协作层，以最大化全局舒适度和支持，同时增强对负载中的局部变化的适应性，例如当人坐在椅子中时施加的负载。 合作层各自使用诸如像素，弹簧，支撑轨道和其他元件的独立元件来提供这种适应性的舒适性和支撑。 悬挂的像素化座椅结构还使用对准的材料来提供柔性而耐用的悬挂座椅结构。 因此，悬挂的像素化座椅结构为广泛的身体形状和尺寸提供最大的舒适度。

Abstract: A suspension chair includes a first and second back support portion having first and second suspension elements extending in first and second substantially perpendicular directions respectively. The first and second suspension elements are tensioned so as to provide first and second normal biasing forces to the first and second body support portions. In one embodiment, the chair includes a fixed support defining an upper portion and a pivotable side support. A fabric layer covers at least a portion of the fixed support and a front surface of the side support. Various furniture arrangements and modular furniture kits incorporating one or more chairs, desks and/or tables are provided.
