Abstract
The purpose of this device is to give assistance to a person that is standing in a particular area for an extended amount of time. This is achieved for people of different heights by having a rotating joint at the base. A saddle joint at the base of the housing enables this device to be adjustable. The seat portion can rotate to adjust to different people. This supporting system is designed to bear some of the load while standing, to accommodate a more ergonomic environment for the person standing.
Claims
1. A saddle joint at the base of the housing capable of about one hundred and eighty (180) degree motion in the vertical direction and about ninety (90) degree motion in the horizontal direction. The saddle joint can be locked in place by inputting a pin to prevent the saddle joint from moving and coupled to a tertiary support that isn't included in the devices structure.
1. The device of claim 1, wherein the base further comprises a locking mechanism for locking the load bearing plate with the support beam
2. The device of claim 1, wherein the couple of the support beam and in the swivel hinge comprises a pinned joint for fastening these two components together.
3. The device of claim 1, wherein the support swivel hinge couples to the tertiary support comprises a bracket to be coupled to.
4. The device of claim 1, wherein the swiveling device for assisting contains a spring system
