A breast pumping assembly for a forward-leaning chair is provided. The assembly allows for a breast pumping mother to be optimally positioned and comfortable while pumping breast milk, leading to quicker and more effective pumping. The breast pumping assembly and the chair are adjustable to adapt for different sized mothers and changing body size and shape as pumping progresses.

An apparatus that supports a user in a variety of positions to comfortably perform tasks, such as applying one or more tattoos to skin of a subject is herein disclosed. The apparatus can be reconfigured to optimally position and support the arms and/or chest of the user. A method for using a stool can involve rotating armrests of the apparatus from a stowed position to a deployed position. The armrests can support the user's forearms while supporting the user's chest such that the user can comfortably perform tasks in front of a chest support of the stool.

The invention relates to the field of ergonomic furniture. The device (1) comprises an upper support element (8) for supporting the thighs and a lower support element (9) for supporting the legs or tibias, that can be separated by an open space (11) or recess for the knees. An assembly (7) formed by the two support elements (8, 9) is mounted so that it pivots around a horizontal axis (A) on a bearing structure (2, 6), wherein rotation of the assembly (7) enables the support elements (8, 9) to accompany the lower limbs of a user during a transition from one use position to another. The device (1) is incorporated into an apparatus for maintaining a standing or sitting-standing position, having at least one footrest (4, 5). The device is applicable to the arrangement of a workstation, such as a computer workstation or an industrial workstation.

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.

An office-type chair includes a base, a height-adjustable pedestal extending upward from the base, a seat assembly including a rear seat part and a front seat part, and a linkage system connecting the pedestal to the seat assembly. The linkage system is adapted to pivot the seat assembly between a lowered position to serve as a task chair and an elevated position to serve as an elevated sitting support. A backrest arrangement may extend from the seat assembly. In the lowered position, the front and rear seat parts are both generally horizontally oriented. In the elevated position, the rear seat part may have a slight forward tilt and be positioned higher than in the lowered position, and the front seat part may extend at a downward angle relative to the rear seat part.

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.

An assistive device for standing tasks allows for a reduction of effort on the part of a user while engaged in tasks or activities that are stationary or nearly stationary that lessens the strain on the bones, joints, and muscles normally used for standing while ensuring a proper alignment of the pelvis and spine.

A surgeon support system comprising a base having a foot platform with an appropriate angle adapted to support a user's feet. The base surface may be lifted using a jack pedal and the height is adjusted by a base handle. A knee pad is supported by a knee support bar which is attached to the base. The knee pad is pivotally connected to a seat pad and a chest pad support bar. The seat pad is supported by a seat pad height-adjusting strut and the height is adjustable by a seat pad height-adjusting handle. The chest pad support bar supports a chest pad for forward and backward movement of the user. The angle position of the chest pad is adjusted and released by an angle-adjusting knob on a chest pad angle-adjusting bar. The surgeon support system stabilizes a user close to a workspace for extended periods of time.
