Abstract
An apparatus for use with a wall and by a person leaning against the wall and including: a receiver mounted in use to the wall; a support having an operative position whereat the support generally follows the curvature of the buttocks of the person; and a mechanism adapted to suspend the support from the receiver at the operative position.
Claims10
Apparatus for use with a wall and by a person leaning against the wall, the person having buttocks and gluteus maximus muscles, the apparatus comprising:
- a receiver having a backing plate mounted in use to the wall, said receiver having a pair of flanges extending from the backing plate, the flanges each having upper and lower apertures;
- a support having an operative position whereat, the support is configured to follow the curvature of the buttocks of the person;
- a mechanism suspending the support from the receiver at the operative position, the mechanism having a capture plate with a vertically extending channel and a lower positioned toothed plate having a plurality of grooved sockets;
- an upper bolt extending between the upper pair of apertures and through the channel in the capture plate;
- a lower bolt extending between the lower pair of apertures such that, and upon displacing the upper bolt vertically along the channel, the lower bolt engages a selected one of the grooved sockets to permit the support to be moved between positions displaced from one another along a vertical axis.

An apparatus for use by a person leaning against a wall, comprising:
- a receiver having a backing plate adapted to be fixedly mounted to the wall;
- a support having a contoured body configured in a vertical direction to follow a curvature of a buttocks of the person;
- a mechanism for adjustably securing the support to the backing plate such that a vertically displaced position of the support is coincident with a vertical axis extending relative to the body and an orientation of the body being the same in each of multiple vertically adjusted positions;
- and
- the receiver further including a slider and a lever pivotally mounted to the slider and terminating in a pintle such that pivoting of the lever releases the pintle from a toothed plate molded within said body to permit displacement of the support relative to the backing plate.
