Leg extension for procedure chair
An extension assembly for a procedure chair leg pad includes a frame and a leg pad assembly. The frame attaches to deployment tracks of the procedure chair through frame arms and includes a slot(s). At least one slot includes detents configured to receive and selectively restrain a guide member. The leg pad assembly is disposed in proximity to the frame and includes a guide member(s) extending therefrom, through a slot and movable relative to the frame. The leg pad assembly may be moved forward and rearward by manual adjustment, moving the guide members through their respective slots. Detents along the slots restrain the guide member at predefined positions until sufficient force is applied to overcome the geometry of the detent. A detent(s) is configured to prevent vertical movement of the leg pad assembly when stowed vertically, but still allow movement in a deployed position.
Apparatus for assistance in putting on and removing footwear
Apparatus to facilitate putting on and removing footwear. The apparatus may be swivelably coupled to a chair where handles are provided to rotate an arm which is coupled to a footrest. By moving the arm, which is at seat level, the footrest is movable between a stowed position and an operative, forward position.
Motorized chair assembly
A motorized chair assembly for reducing floor space occupied by a reclining chair includes a chair that has a seat portion, a backrest portion and a pair of armrests. A foot rest is slidably coupled to the seat portion of the chair. The foot rest is positionable in a deployed position having the foot rest extending forwardly from the seat portion and being oriented parallel to ground for resting feet thereon. The foot rest is positionable in a stored position having the foot rest being retracted within the seat portion. A panel is hingedly coupled to the foot rest. The panel is positionable at a selected angle with respect to the foot rest when the foot rest is deployed wherein the panel is configured to have feet rested thereon.
Bench with a retractable footrest
A bench with a retractable footrest is an apparatus that compactly stores and effectively conceals a footrest. The apparatus includes a seat panel, a back panel, a first frame, a second frame, a retractable footrest, a storage receptacle, and a slider mechanism. The seat panel and the back panel upholds the user while sitting on the apparatus. The first frame and the second frame, together, connects the seat panel and the back panel. The first frame and the second frame allow the seat panel and the back panel to open and close with each other. The retractable footrest upholds the calves, and consequently, the feet of the user, alleviating the stress on the knees of the user. The storage receptacle connects the retractable footrest with the seat panel and houses the retractable footrest. The slider mechanism allows a user to retract and extend the retractable footrest within the storage receptacle.
Methods and apparatus for variable user position seating
A system for seated support. A seat rest may be configured to support the posterior of a user, a leg rest may be configured to support a leg portion of a user, and a combined translate-and-cant reposition carriage may be configured to simultaneously translate and cant the position of the leg rest in relation to the position of the seat rest. The seat rest, leg rest, and combined translate-and-cant reposition carriage may comprise an equipoise balancer for a user. The equipoise balancer may be free-floating, lockable, partially lockable, seat-rest driven, or leg rest driven in various embodiments.
Rotation driven footrest translation
A footrest system is disclosed. The footrest cushion is supported by a frame that is hinge-mounted onto the front of a chair frame. The rotation of the footrest frame by a user creates, through a mechanical system, rotation in a spool. The spool is wound with first and second lines, each being wound in the reverse direction as the other. The lines are connected through rerouting systems and then anchored to the translating member such that they pull the member out upon a deployment, and return the member back in when the footrest is retracted.
Mechanical linkage structure for linking chair and seat, frame and chair having the mechanical linkage structure
A mechanical linkage structure for linking a chair and a seat, comprises a first link, a second link, and a third link respectively used as a driven link, a fourth link used as a driving link, a fifth link, a sixth link, and a seventh link respectively used as a driven link. The first link is pivotally connected to the second link and the third link, respectively; the second link is pivotally connected to the fourth link and the fifth link, respectively; the third link is pivotally connected to the fourth link, the fifth link, and the seventh link, respectively; the fifth link is pivotally connected to the sixth link; the sixth link is pivotally connected to the seventh link; the fourth link is driven to rotate the first link, the second link, the third link, the fifth link, the sixth link and the seventh link, to realize the unfolding or collapse of the mechanical linkage structure.
ADJUSTABLE STOOL
An adjustable stool having a support connected to a base at one end and seat at the opposite end. A foot rest is adjustably connected to the support. Adjustably connected to the seat is a back support. A lumbar support is adjustably connected to the back support. The back support has a horizontal portion and a vertical portion.
Foot and leg support device for a chair
A foot and/or leg support device for a chair, the chair including a central post having a base, a seat supported by the central post, and a plurality of support legs which branch from the base of the central post. In an example, the support device includes: a connector for attachment to the central post of the chair, wherein the connector comprises a circular interior having a radius of curvature substantially equal to a radius of the central post of the chair; a cantilever arm which extends from the connector; a pivot which connects the cantilever arm to the connector, the pivot being configured for vertical pivoting; and a support frame located at a distal end of the cantilever arm for supporting a foot and/or leg of a user.
Portable work support and keyboard/mouse tray and work station and tethered chair
A portable work support device and support for a key board and a pointing device, such as a mouse, for use by occupants of reclining capable office chairs having an adjustable fitted footrest assembly connected to the chair that will provide the seated chair user the ability to achieve a desired pelvis/feet triangulation stabilization effect while reclined by having the seated user's feet placed correctly in an attached footrest thereby producing a tactile input or cue that will lead to the desired muscle or motor output, causing the seated user to actually sit all the way back in the chair, and to be in a posture biomechanically neutral for using and working on the portable work support device, a work station removably housing the portable work support device, and a foot rest assembly to which a chair can be tethered so that a computer user can be properly positioned in a reclining position in the chair and have reduced posture issues when using the work support device while using computer or like equipment.
