Estimating the term…
A chair includes a seat and a back rest, both of which pivot about respective axes between first and second positions thereof about parallel axes of rotation. The seat's second position is inclined relative to a first seat plane defined by the seat's first position. The backrest's second position is essentially parallel to the first seat plane such that the chair switches between seating and support configurations. In the seating configuration, the seat and backrest are their respective first positions such that the chair accommodates a seated person. In the support configuration, the seat and backrest are in their respective second positions such that the chair accommodates a person's chest on the backrest's rear face.
An apparatus comprising a chair, wherein said chair comprises a seat and a backrest, wherein said backrest comprises a front face and a rear face, wherein said seat is configured to pivot about a first axis of rotation between a first seat position and a second seat position, wherein said back rest is configured to pivot about a second axis of rotation between a first backrest position and a second backrest position, said second axis of rotation being parallel to said first axis of rotation, wherein said first seat position defines a first seat plane, wherein said second seat position is inclined relative to said first seat plane, wherein said second backrest position is essentially parallel to said first seat plane such that said chair is configured to switch between a seating configuration and a support configuration, wherein, in said seating configuration, said seat is in said first seat position and said backrest is in said first backrest position such that said chair is suitable for accommodating a person seated on said seat, and wherein, in said support configuration, said seat is in said second seat position and said backrest is in said second backrest position such that said chair is suitable for accommodating a chest of a person on said rear face of said backrest.
