A serving apparatus is provided to minimise risk of injurious events in a hospital or care setting. The serving apparatus comprises, a serving member having a serving platform; a rotation mechanism in rotatable communication with the serving member; a stand in communication with the rotation mechanism, the stand having a connecting portion; said connecting portion being arranged to reversibly couple the stand to an item of furniture; wherein the rotation mechanism is arranged to provide reciprocal rotation of the serving member between a stowed position and a serving position. The serving apparatus of the present invention aims to minimise the risk of falls or injurious spillages and may also maintain the healthy orthopaedic properties of furniture during mealtimes, without necessitating an awkward seating position wherein said orthopaedic properties become substantially defunct.

An activity table for wheelchair-bound children includes a generally flat horizontal tabletop, activity elements fastened to its upper surface, and a pair of leg supports fastened to a lower surface of the tabletop. The tabletop has a longitudinal axis, the upper surface, the lower surface, first and second ends, and first and second sides. Each leg support includes parallel upright posts joined by a ground engaging member that is generally transverse to the longitudinal axis of the tabletop. The tabletop and leg supports make the activity elements accessible to a child restricted to a wheelchair. The activity elements develop motor skills and coordination. This table enhances recreation time and is suitable for outdoor use.

A system for facilitating access, includes, a tabletop having an undersurface; a tray support movably positioned relative to the undersurface of the tabletop so as to be positionable between a retracted position in which the tray support is inward of the undersurface of the tabletop and an extended position in which a portion of the tray support extends outwardly from the underside surface of the table top; a tray having an upper tray surface; a height extender removably couplable to the tray; and a lock. The lock is operatively associated with the height extender and the tray support, and is configured to position and lock the tray to the tray support when the tray support is in the extended position, and to locate an upper planar tray surface of the tray at a desired height relative to the tabletop.

The present document describes auxiliary cabinet capable of displacement within an opening defined above a ground surface, the auxiliary cabinet comprising: a base cabinet; and a slideable guilding portion on the base cabinet for guiding the base cabinet within the opening during the dispacement between an extended position and a retracted position; wherein when the base cabinet is in the extended position, it is at its frontmost position and when the base cabinet is in the retracted position, it is at its rearmost position, thereby providing a working space above the ground surface.
