Abstract
A dual-axis adjustment device is provided. The adjustment device comprises a pivoting component configured to allow a top component of a furniture piece to rotate about a first axis with respect to a stand, and a lock component configured to allow the top component to slide relative to the stand along a second axis (BB′). The pivoting component and the lock component are arranged along a common axis (AA′), the first axis is a rotational axis, and the common axis (AA′) is co-axial with the first axis and perpendicular to the second axis (BB′). Further disclosed are a leg rest comprising a top component, a stand and a dual-axis adjustment device, and a method of manufacturing a dual-axis adjustment device.

A dual-axis adjustment device, comprising:
- a pivoting component configured to allow a top component of a furniture piece to rotate about a first axis with respect to a stand;
- and
- a lock component configured to allow the top component to slide relative to the stand along a second axis (BB′);
- wherein the pivoting component and the lock component are arranged along a common axis (AA′), the first axis is a rotational axis, and wherein the common axis (AA′) is co-axial with the first axis and perpendicular to the second axis (BB′),
- wherein the pivoting component comprises a cylindrical mount, a gear lock, and a rotatable arm, the cylindrical mount shaped and dimensioned to receive the gear lock and the rotatable arm, and wherein the cylindrical mount and the gear lock comprises a first set of gear teeth and a second set of gear teeth respectively, the first set of gear teeth operatively engageable with the second set of gear teeth, and
- wherein the rotatable arm is arranged to support the top component of the furniture piece, the rotatable arm configured to engage with the gear lock, wherein in a locked position, the second set of gear teeth engages the first set of gear teeth and in an unlocked position, the second set of gear teeth disengages from the first set of gear teeth.
A leg rest comprising a top component and a stand, the top component rotatably mounted to the stand about a first axis and slidable from the stand along a second axis (BB′), the leg rest comprises an adjustment device, the adjustment device comprises:
- a pivoting component configured to allow the top component to rotate about the first axis;
- and
- a lock component configured to allow the top component to slide relative to the stand along the second axis (BB′),
- wherein the pivoting component and the lock component are arranged along a common axis (AA′), the first axis is a rotational axis, and the common axis (AA′) is co-axial with the first axis and perpendicular to the second axis (BB′),
- wherein the pivoting component comprises a cylindrical mount, a gear lock, and a rotatable arm, the cylindrical mount shaped and dimensioned to receive the gear lock and the rotatable arm, and wherein the cylindrical mount and the gear lock comprises a first set of gear teeth and a second set of gear teeth respectively, the first set of gear teeth operatively engageable with the second set of gear teeth, and
- wherein the rotatable arm is arranged to support the top component of the furniture piece, the rotatable arm configured to engage with the gear lock, wherein in a locked position, the second set of gear teeth engages the first set of gear teeth and in an unlocked position, the second set of gear teeth disengages from the first set of gear teeth.
A method of manufacturing a dual-axis adjustment device, the method comprising:
- a step of providing a pivoting component configured to allow a top component of a furniture piece to rotate about a first axis with respect to a stand;
- and
- a step of providing a lock component configured to allow the top component to slide relative to the stand along a second axis (BB′),
- wherein the pivoting component and the lock component are arranged along a common axis (AA′), the first axis is a rotational axis, and wherein the common axis (AA′) is co-axial with the first axis and perpendicular to the second axis (BB′),
- wherein the pivoting component comprises a cylindrical mount, a gear lock, and a rotatable arm, the cylindrical mount shaped and dimensioned to receive the gear lock and the rotatable arm, and wherein the cylindrical mount and the gear lock comprises a first set of gear teeth and a second set of gear teeth respectively, the first set of gear teeth operatively engageable with the second set of gear teeth, and
- wherein the rotatable arm is arranged to support the top component of the furniture piece, the rotatable arm configured to engage with the gear lock, wherein in a locked position, the second set of gear teeth engages the first set of gear teeth and in an unlocked position, the second set of gear teeth disengages from the first set of gear teeth.
