Abstract
An adjustable head support includes an articulating arm that has a plurality of members, at least one of the members is attached to a consecutive member and configured to rotate about a first axis. At least another of the members is attached to a consecutive member and configured to rotate about a second axis, the first axis and the second axis being perpendicular. A head support assembly is pivotally coupled to the articulating arm.
Claims24
An adjustable head support comprising:
- an articulating arm including a plurality of consecutively connected members, the plurality of members include:
- a first arcuate member,
- a second arcuate member,
- a third member, and
- a fourth member,
- the third member having opposing first and second ends, one of the plurality of members coupled to the first end and configured to rotate about a first axis, and another of the plurality of members coupled to the second end and configured to rotate about a second axis, the first axis and the second axis being perpendicular;
- and
- a head support assembly pivotally coupled to the articulating arm.

An adjustable head support comprising:
- an articulating arm that includes:
- a swivel joint rotatably coupled to a height adjustment member, the swivel joint configured to rotate about a first axis defined by the height adjustment member;
- a plurality of consecutively coupled members, the members include:
- a first member that is rotatably coupled to the swivel joint and configured to rotate about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis;
- and
- a second member;
- a third member;
- and
- a fourth member, wherein the third member is coupled at one end to one of the plurality of members and configured to rotate about a third axis, and is coupled at the opposite end to another of the plurality of members and configured to rotate about a fourth axis, the third axis being perpendicular to the fourth axis;
- and
- a head support assembly pivotally coupled to the articulating arm.
