[0022] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a furniture component with a video projector and a furniture system having the furniture component, according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a furniture component 200 with a video projector according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a base 202, an upright backrest 204 fixedly connected to the rear end of the base 202, and a front cover 216. A video projector 220 is provided on the inner surface of the front cover 216. A power assembly is connected to the front cover 216, which moves the front cover 216 between a closed position and an open position to expose or retract the video projector 220.

[0024] like Figure 2-4As shown, the backrest 204 includes a pair of opposing sidewalls 206, a bottom wall 208, a top wall 210, and a rear wall 212; the pair of opposing sidewalls 206, bottom wall 208, top wall 210, and rear wall 212 together define a hollow cavity 214. Furthermore, the front cover 216 is pivotally connected to the upper end of the backrest 204 via a pair of laterally spaced hinge mechanisms 218. The power assembly includes a pair of laterally spaced hydraulic piston cylinder assemblies 222, wherein the lower ends of the pair of hydraulic piston cylinder assemblies 222 are pivotally connected to the pair of sidewalls 206 at a first connection point 224, and the upper ends of the pair of hydraulic piston cylinder assemblies 222 are pivotally connected to the front cover 216 at a second connection point 226, and the upper ends of the pair of hydraulic piston cylinder assemblies 222 are located on both sides of the video projector 220.

[0025] By configuring these two laterally spaced hydraulic piston cylinder assemblies 222, the front cover 216 can be moved stably between its open and closed positions, specifically by manually moving it from... Figure 4 The indicated closing position is moved to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The open position is shown. More specifically, it is well known that when the piston rod portion of the hydraulic piston cylinder assembly 222 extends and retracts, hydraulic oil flows inside the cylinder, allowing the hydraulic oil to hold the piston rod in its extreme position, which corresponds to the front cover 216 being in the open or closed position. Furthermore, from... Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is easy to understand that, and it should also be noted, when the cover 216 is moved to its open position, the video projector 220 will be in a horizontal position. At this time, pressing the power switch on the video projector 220 or the power switch on a suitable remote control (not shown), or activating the switch in another way, will allow the video projector 220 to easily project video images onto a screen or wall opposite the furniture piece 200 with the video projector. Conversely, when the cover 216 is moved to its closed position, the cavity 214 and the video projector 220 will be hidden, and the backrest 204 and the base 202 will be effectively integrated, resulting in a beautiful, clean, smooth, and comfortable appearance.

[0026] The power unit can also be a linear actuator to replace the pair of laterally spaced hydraulic piston cylinder assemblies 222.

[0027] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, a furniture system 300 with a video projector includes any one of the furniture pieces 200 equipped with a video projector. The furniture system 300 includes various furniture pieces such as recliners, sofas, chairs, and double seats. Each furniture piece includes a base 202, a backrest 204, and a front cover 216. The backrest 204 includes a rear backrest 333 and a front backrest 331. The front cover 216 is operably connected to the rear backrest 333, and the front cover 216 serves as a headrest 330 for the furniture piece. The movable headrest 330 can be... Figure 5 The retraction position shown and Figure 6 , Figure 7 The front backrest 331 can be in an upright position when the headrest 330 associated with it is in the retracted position, and in a downward position when the headrest 330 associated with it is in the extended position. To enable structural interaction between each front backrest 331 and each headrest 330, each front backrest 331 has a generally U-shaped construction, with the upper part of each front backrest 331 effectively defining a cutout 332 that spatially accommodates the headrest 330 when it is moved to its retracted position. When the headrest 330 is moved to its extended position, the front backrest 331 is simultaneously in its downward position, effectively functioning as a control console or horizontal platform.

[0028] The video projector 220 can be fixedly installed inside or on the lower surface of the headrest 330 of any furniture piece. The power unit can be a pair of horizontally spaced hydraulic piston cylinder assemblies 222. The lower ends of the pair of horizontally spaced hydraulic piston cylinder assemblies 222 are pivotally connected to the backrest 204, and the upper ends of the pair of horizontally spaced hydraulic piston cylinder assemblies 222 are pivotally connected to the headrest 330.

[0029] Various cables of the furniture component 200 with video projector, the furniture system 300, and the video projector 220 are operatively connected to an audio amplifier (not shown) built into the furniture component 200 with video projector and the furniture system 300, and can pass inconspicuously through the rear of the furniture component 200 with video projector and the furniture system 300, such as... Figure 7 As shown. Cables can be used for various movable structural components of furniture piece 200 and furniture system 300 with video projector, as well as power cord 334, AUX cable 336 and audio cable 338 that provide power to video projector 220.
