Examination or procedure tables and chairs which can be moved into positions in more efficient and desirable ways to better meet the needs of the patient and medical service providers. In particular, a plurality of actuators which cause the seat, leg rest and foot rest of the table or chair to move and which may, if desired, be independently programmed to provide mechanically independent movement of the seat, leg rest and foot rest to desirable positions needed to provide ease of entry or transfer by the patient to the equipment including positioning the highest portion of the seat to a home or patient entry position no more than nineteen inches from the floor.

A mechanism for a reclining having a headrest and a backrest movable with respect to a seat, the backrest being supported by a reclining mechanism which includes an arc fastened to pads sliding in guiding plates, actuated by a motoreducer, and a mobile trapezoidal lever that is mobile backward and forward and that supports a bottom roller that is stationary and a top roller that is integral with the frame of the seat. The rollers are pivotable around axes that are parallel and are perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the chair, so that, simultaneously with the shifting of the pads along the guiding plates, the frame of the seat performs a rheonomous tilting movement, upward or downward of its end corresponding to the anterior end of the chair seat.

A patient support device for positioning the patient including a support frame and a chair connected to each other, wherein the chair includes a seat portion and a back portion connected to each other. The back portion is extending upward from the seat portion The back portion further includes two opposite ends, a first end and a second end and the back portion is connected at the second end to the seat portion The first end of the back portion determines horizontal axis A. The first end of the back portion is pivotally connected to the frame by a rotating mechanism so that the chair is arranged to rotate around axis A.

An adjustable chair for patients undergoing dental procedures comprising a seat, back and leg rest. The seat is attached to a base with rotating adjustable members and a screw rod is used raise the seat from a lowered position of about 18 inches to a height of about 43 inches, thereby allowing the person performing the procedure to select either a seated or standing position. Further screw rod assemblies permit the back to recline to 15 to 30 degrees and the leg rest to raise to a level that is substantially parallel with the seat.

A system in which technology is associated with adjustable furniture includes at least one use position (in which the technology is available for use) and a storage position (in which the technology is not available for use). The technology is movable between the use position and the storage position. At least one use position is preferably located near the head of the furniture. In the storage position, the technology may be in a container, which may be a sterilizing container. The movement of the technology between the use position and the storage position may be coordinated with the transition between the upright position of the furniture and the recline position of the furniture.
