Abstract
A system is provided for anatomically accommodating a user during the use of a reclinable chair. Structurally, the system includes a base clamp that is mounted to the chair and that defines a first axis. Further, the system includes an intermediate clamp connected to the base clamp and defining a second axis. Also, the system includes a pivot defining a pivot point. In order to support the arm of a user, an arm rest is connected to the pivot. With the cooperation between the components of the system, the arm rest can be selectively positioned with respect to the chair to anatomically accommodate the user. Specifically, the arm rest is positioned by selectively rotating the pivot about the pivot point, the pivot point about the second axis, and the second axis about the first axis.
Claims20
A system for anatomically accommodating a user during the use of a chair, said system comprising:
- a support member fixed to the chair;
- a base clamp mounted to the support member, said base clamp defining a first axis;
- a cantilever having a first end and a second end, with said first end being fixed to the base clamp;
- an intermediate clamp connected to the second end of the cantilever, said intermediate clamp defining a second axis, with said second axis being substantially parallel to the first axis;
- an extension arm having a first end and a second end, with said first end being fixed to the intermediate clamp;
- a pivot connected to the second end of the extension arm, with said pivot defining a pivot point;
- and
- an arm rest mounted to the pivot, with said arm rest being rotatable about the pivot point, said pivot point being rotatable about the second axis, said second axis being rotatable about the first axis, and said base clamp being movable along the first axis to establish a position and orientation for the arm rest relative to the chair to anatomically accommodate the user.
A system for anatomically accommodating a user during the use of a chair defining an axis, said system comprising:
- a mechanical means for positioning a pivot at a predetermined distance from, and angle to, the axis of the chair, with said positioning means being mounted to the chair, and with said pivot defining a pivot point and being rotatable about the pivot point;
- and
- an arm rest mounted to the pivot, with said arm rest being rotatable about the pivot point to establish an orientation for the arm rest relative to the chair to anatomically accommodate the user.
A system for anatomically accommodating a user during the use of a chair having a surface for supporting the user, said system comprising:
- a means for providing a void in the surface of the chair to receive the user's face when the user lies facedown on the surface of the chair;
- a means for positioning a pivot at a predetermined distance from, and angle to, the void, with said positioning means being mounted to the chair, and with said pivot defining a pivot point and being rotatable about the pivot point;
- and
- an arm rest mounted to the pivot, with said arm rest being rotatable about the pivot point to establish an orientation for the arm rest relative to the void to anatomically accommodate the user.
