Apparatus for supporting a user in a forward-leaning position with faceplate pivotability

An apparatus for supporting a user, comprising:

• a faceplate having a frame that defines an opening to receive a user's face;
• an arm having opposing first and second ends, the arm including first and second faceplate support bodies disposed at the second end of the arm, each faceplate support body comprising a respective pivot adjustment ring disposed on an inner side of a respective faceplate support body, the respective pivot adjustment ring having a plurality of pivot adjustment holes that extend parallel to a pivot axis, each faceplate support further defining a respective button hole that extends along the pivot axis, the respective pivot adjustment ring aligned along the pivot axis;
• a base attached to the first end of the arm, the base including a base body and a base slide, the base body including a slot through which the base slide is slidable;
• and
• a bridge attached to the second end of the arm, the bridge comprising:
• a hub disposed between the inner sides of the first and second faceplate supports, the hub comprising:
• first and second hub bodies, each hub body including a plurality of locking pin holes that extend through a respective hub body parallel to the pivot axis;
• a plurality of locking pins, each locking pin disposed in a respective locking pin hole in each hub body, each locking pin configured to slidingly engage one of the pivot adjustment holes in the respective pivot adjustment ring;
• a shaft that extends along the pivot axis through a respective hole in each hub body to allow the first and second hub bodies to rotate about and slide along the pivot axis;
• first and second buttons, each button extending through the respective button hole and mechanically coupled to the respective hub body;
• and
• a bridge housing attached to the hub and the faceplate,
• wherein:
• the first and second buttons have a released state in which the respective locking pin is inserted into a respective pivot adjustment hole to prevent the hub from rotating, thereby locking a pivot orientation of the faceplate, and
• the first and second buttons have a depressed state in which the first and second buttons are pressed inwardly to cause the first and second hub bodies to slide inwardly along the shaft to separate the respective locking pin from the respective pivot adjustment hole, thereby allowing the hub to rotate to adjust the pivot orientation of the faceplate.
