This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,087.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

The inventive concept presents an improved seating furniture chassis that enhances the efficiency, safety, and user experience of peripheral electrical devices by introducing innovative cable management and integration features.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed a seating furniture chassis with a base body, cables, and peripheral electrical devices. However, the existing design has limitations in terms of cable management, installation complexity, and electromagnetic interference. The new inventive concept addresses these issues by introducing a snap-fit mechanism, plug-and-play system, shielding, and a touchless interface to provide a more efficient, safer, and user-friendly experience.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The enhanced seating furniture chassis comprises a base body, a plurality of electrically conductive cables fastened to the base body using a snap-fit mechanism, a central electrical device, and a plurality of peripheral electrical devices. The cables are connected to the central electrical device and peripheral electrical devices using a plug-and-play system, reducing assembly time. The cables are shielded to minimize electromagnetic interference. Additionally, the operating device is a touchless interface, enabling users to control the peripheral electrical devices seamlessly. The central electrical device receives input from the touchless interface and adjusts the operation of the peripheral electrical devices accordingly.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce novel features such as the snap-fit mechanism, plug-and-play system, shielding, and touchless interface, which provide a non-obvious solution to the limitations of the original patent. These features improve the overall efficiency, safety, and user experience of the seating furniture chassis.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments may include using different types of connectors, adjusting the cable management system, or incorporating additional sensors to monitor the performance of the peripheral electrical devices. Variations may also include integrating the seating furniture chassis with other furniture systems or using different materials for the base body and cables.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The enhanced seating furniture chassis has significant commercial potential in the furniture industry, particularly in the areas of office furniture, home furnishings, and healthcare equipment. The improved design and features can increase market share, reduce production costs, and enhance customer satisfaction.
