`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`Field of the Invention
`
`[0004]
`
`The invention relates to seating units and more specifically, to multi-filnctional or
`
`reconfigurable chairs and the like. Known multi-functional or multi-tasking seating tends toward
`
`two general groups, namely, relatively complicated arrangements and relatively less complicated
`
`arrangements.
`
`[0005]
`
`The more complicated designs
`
`typically attempt
`
`to address many common
`
`functional needs; all things to all users. Therefore, they tend to sacrifice a characteristic of being
`
`“user fiiendly” and require notable user involvement. The user may be required to accommodate a
`
`variety of components, which may be bulky. The multi-functional seating may also require an
`
`uncommon level of mechanical aptitude to adapt the seating between functional configurations.
`
`l
`
`J Squared, Inc. – Ex. 1008, p. 13
`J Squared, Inc. — Ex. 1008, p. 13
`
`

`
`[0006]
`
`Alternatively,
`
`the less complicated designs tend to be targeted to fairly
`
`narrowly defined functions. Thus, they are novelty or specialty seating units that are undesirable to
`
`any user who does not have a need for the particular function to which the seating was designed.
`
`[0007]
`
`Thus,
`
`a need for easily used and versatile seating that
`
`fills
`
`a reasonable
`
`combination of common lifestyle uses may be readily under
