DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(8) Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, the assistance chair assembly of the present invention comprises a base 10 which includes a base board 11, and the base board 11 has a rear end 112, and two extension portions 111 extend from horizontally from the rear end 112. A recessed area 113 is defined between the two extension portions 111. Two upright boards 13 are perpendicularly connected to the top of the base board 11, and each of the two upright boards 13 has a first hole 131 and a fixing hole 132. The first holes 131 is located closer to the rear end 112 than the fixing hole 132. Two bars 14 are connected between the two upright boards 13, and the two bars 14 are located above the base board 11. A room 15 is defined between the two bars 14, the two upright boards 13 and the base board 11. The room 15 is designed to store a tool box 16 of the like as shown in FIG. 4. Four wheels 12 are connected to the underside of the base board 11 and two of the four wheels 12 are connected to the extension portions 111 so as to support the rear end 112 of the base board 111.

(9) A chair 20 includes a seat board 21, and two side panels 22 are connected to two sides of the seat board 21. Each side panel 22 has a side board 23 connected to the inside thereof. The side boards 23 are located above the seat board 21. A back board 24 is connected between the two side boards 23. Each side panel 22 has a rear leg 221 and a front leg 222, each rear leg 221 has a second hole 2211 and is connected to the upright board 13 corresponding thereto by extending a bolt 223 through the second hole 2211 of the rear leg 221 and the first hole 131 of the upright board 13. Each front leg 222 has a first curve slot 225, and a first locking member 224 extends through the first curve slot 225 of the front leg 222 and the fixing hole 132 of the upright board 13 corresponding to the front leg 22. Therefore, when the first locking members 224 are unscrewed, the chair 20 is pivotable about the bolts 223 while the first locking members 224 movable within the first curve slots 225. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the weight center of the chair 20 is not moved beyond the two extensions portions 111 when the chair 20 is pivoted toward the two extensions portions 111, so that the assistance chair assembly does not fall backward.

(10) The chair 20 includes a leg board 25 connected to the underside of the seat board 21. Two foot boards 26 are connected to the leg board 25, and two foot supports 27 are connected to the two foot boards 26 respectively.

(11) As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, two arm rest units 30 are respectively connected to the two side boards 23. Each arm rest unit 30 includes a fan-shaped board 31 that is connected to outside of the side board 23 corresponding thereto. An arm rest 32 is connected to the top of the fan-shaped board 31 corresponding thereto. Each fan-shaped board 31 has a second curve slot 311 and a top connection end 313 that is connected to the side board 23 corresponding thereto. A third locking member 312 extends through each of the second curve slots 311 and is connected to the side board 23 corresponding thereto. Each third locking member 312 has a first end thereof contacting against the fan-shaped board 31, and a second end of each third locking member 312 contacts the side board 23. Furthermore, the assistance chair assembly includes a table board 50 which has two clamp members 51 so as to detachably clamp the two arm rests 32 to secure the table board 50 on the two arm rests 32 as shown in FIG. 5. Each of the two rear legs 221 has a notch 2212 defined in the rear side thereof. The table board 50 has two lugs 52, and a restriction slot 53 is formed between each lug 52 and the table board 50. When the table board 50 is not in use, the two clamp members 51 are separated from the arm rest 32, so that the table board 50 is brought to the rear end 112 of the base board 11 and inserted into the notches 221, and inner bottoms of the restriction slots 53 are engaged with the notches 2212 as shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 7, when rotating the third locking members 312 along the direction shown by the arrow head, the two fan-shaped boards 31 are released, and the two fan-shaped boards 31 are pivoted about the top connection ends 313 such that the arm rests 32 can be maintained horizontally when the chair 20 is pivoted backward.

(12) As shown in FIG. 4, a head rest unit 40 is connected to the back board 24 and includes a lift board 41. The lift board 41 includes an elongate slot 411 defined axially therethrough. Two second locking members 42 extend through the elongate slot 411 and are connected to the back board 24. The two second locking members 42 each have a first end contacting against the back board 24, and a second end of each second locking member 42 contacts the lift board 41. When unscrewing the second locking members 42, the head rest unit 40 is movable along the elongate slot 411 to adjust the height of the head rest unit 40 as shown in FIG. 6.

(13) The advantages of the present invention are that the chair 20 does not fall backward because the weight center is not moved beyond the two extension portions 111. Each extension portion 111 has a wheel 12 connected thereto so as to ensure that the chair 20 stably. The recessed area 113 provides a space for the person who helps to operate the assistance chair assembly. Besides, the arm rests 32 can be maintained in horizontal direction even when the chair 20 is pivoted backward so that the table board 50 is also kept in horizontal direction.

(14) While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
