Abstract
A furniture assembly system including a furniture assembly including an inner member including an inner member body and a filler disposed within the inner member, and an outer cover configured to selectively receive the inner member, and a furniture accessory selectively operatively coupled to the furniture assembly. The furniture assembly can be a frameless furniture assembly.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 - 17 . (canceled)
18 . A furniture assembly system comprising:
a furniture assembly comprising:
an inner member filled with a filler material;
an outer member surrounding the inner member;
a recess formed in proximity to a sitting area of the furniture assembly; and
a modular furniture experience module selectively mounted within the recess, the modular furniture experience module comprising at least one of an insert with a durometer different from the inner member, a heating assembly, a cooling assembly, a massaging assembly, and a sensory comfort assembly that are interchangeable mounted within the recess of the furniture assembly.
19 . The furniture assembly system of claim 18 , wherein the sensory comfort assembly comprises:
a seat portion that is configured to generally conform to a portion of the furniture assembly to which it is in contact; a back portion that is configured to generally conform to a portion of the furniture assembly to which it is in contact; and a safety attachment assembly associated with at least one of the seat portion and the back portion and configured to aid with supporting an individual on the seating support; and a securing assembly configured to selectively mount the seating support to the furniture assembly and limit separation of the seating support from contact with the furniture assembly.
20 . The furniture assembly system of claim 19 , further comprising a head rest supported by the seat portion.
21 . The furniture assembly system of claim 19 , wherein the safety attachment assembly comprises a first elongate member and a second elongate member crossing the first elongate member.
22 . The furniture assembly system of claim 21 , wherein the securing assembly comprises a plurality of elongate anchor attachment members that selectively connect to a plurality of anchors supported by the furniture assembly.
23 . The furniture assembly system of claim 22 , wherein the plurality of elongate anchor attachment member are configured to be tensioned.
24 . The furniture assembly system of claim 22 , further comprising a tensioning mechanism configured to tension at least one of a first elongate member and a second elongate member of the safety attachment assembly.
25 . The furniture assembly system of claim 18 , wherein the heating assembly comprises a heater, a power source, and a controller configured to control the heater.
26 . The furniture assembly system of claim 18 , wherein the cooling assembly comprises a cooler, a power source, and a controller configured to control the heater.
27 . The furniture assembly system of claim 18 , wherein the massaging assembly comprises a massager, a power source, and a controller configured to control the heater.
28 . The furniture assembly system of claim 18 , wherein the inner member has resiliency to substantially maintain a shape of the furniture assembly, the inner member defining a preformed seating region and the recess.
29 . The furniture assembly system of claim 28 , wherein the outer member conforms to the inner member.
30 . The furniture assembly system of claim 18 , further comprising a retainer configured to mount the modular furniture experience module to the furniture assembly, the retainer comprising hook and loop fasteners, detents, snap fasteners, magnets, zippers, tongue and groove rope, and combinations or modifications thereof.
31 . The furniture assembly system of claim 18 , wherein
the heating assembly comprises one or more of a resistive wire, a Peltier device, circulating heating fluid, circulating heating gas, an inductive heater, and a fan.
32 . The furniture assembly system of claim 18 , wherein
the cooling assembly comprises one or more of a Peltier device, circulating cooling fluid, a circulating cooling gas, and a fan.
33 . The furniture assembly system of claim 18 , wherein
the massaging assembly comprises one or more of rolling balls, rolling cups, rolling rollers, an air bladder, a fluid bladder, and a pump.
34 . The furniture assembly of claim 18 , wherein the modular furniture experience module comprises a power source.
35 . The furniture assembly of claim 18 , wherein the modular furniture experience module electrically communicates with a power source selected from a first power source within the furniture assembly or a second power source external to the furniture assembly.
36 . The furniture assembly of claim 35 , wherein the first power source is a battery.
37 . The furniture assembly of claim 36 , wherein the battery is in electrical communication with the second power source.
38 . The furniture assembly of claim 36 , wherein the first power source electrically communicates with a wireless charging receiver.
39 . The furniture assembly of claim 18 , wherein the outer layer surrounds the recessed portion.
