Furniture having spans supported by downwardly flaring posts

At least one furniture upright vertical posts or legs inserted into at least one opening in at least one furniture horizontal span (shelf, top, frame) to retain the span horizontally. Each post diverges from its apex to its base. Each opening is bounded by interior facing walls that diverge downward to complement divergence of the post at an elevated region of the post. The retention of the span at the elevated region of the post arises because of the complementary divergence, which restricts relative movement of the span relative to the post to only allow lifting of the at least one span relative to the at least one post and prevent the span from moving sideways relative to the post at an elevation of the elevated region and prevent the span from being lowered further along the post past the elevated region.

Supporting type exoskeleton seat

The invention discloses a supporting type exoskeleton seat which can be worn on the legs of a worker, an exoskeleton is worn all the time in the working process, and therefore the seat can move along with the worker, and all parts of the exoskeleton can be matched with one another as long as the worker bends knees and squats at any scene anytime and anywhere. After the knee is bent to a certain angle, the sliding of the first mounting part is stopped by the elastic force of the first elastic piece, the first mounting part is relatively stably locked and does not continue to slide, and the connecting rod is used for supporting the bent knee. Meanwhile, after the first mounting part does not slide any more, the relative position of the first mounting part and the second mounting part does not change any more, the second end of the supporting piece does not bear force to rotate around the rotating shaft any more, the shank, the supporting piece and the ground form a closed triangle to support the ankle of the worker, and the situation that the gravity center is unstable and the human body shakes due to insufficient foot muscle strength is prevented.
