Introduction

Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is an adjustable furniture product with an automatically-inflating mattress. This invention features a folding mechanism that transforms into a seat frame. The mechanism consists of a rear section, a middle section, and a front section, which are stored in a cavity when the product is in a seating position. Upon receiving user input, a position motor deploys the folding mechanism into a sleeping position. Once in this position, an inflation switch activates an air pump, inflating the mattress. To revert to the seating position, the user input triggers the air pump to deflate the mattress and the position motor to fold the mechanism back into the seat frame.
Another notable invention by Steers is a convertible furniture item. This design allows user-support frames to switch between a seat configuration and a bed configuration. In one embodiment, the user-support frames include a head-support frame anchored by a link assembly to the furniture base, and a back-support frame that is pivotably coupled to the head-support frame. The link assembly enables both pivoting and lateral shifting of the head-support frame. In the bed configuration, a cam and cam follower are positioned under the user-support frames, allowing for upward movement at the hinge junction when the frames shift laterally.
