Shampoo chair

In combination with a shampoo bowl, a chair for comfortably positioning an individual for receiving a shampoo at the shampoo bowl, said chair comprising:

• a base located in front of the shampoo bowl and providing tracks which extend generally toward the bowl;
• a carriage mounted on the tracks of the base for movement on the base toward and away from the bowl;
• locking means for coupling the carriage to the base so that the carriage cannot move on the base;
• a chair form supported on the carriage and having sides, a generally horizontal seat portion and a back portion located at a substantial angle to the seat portion;
• a fluid-operated cylinder interposed between the carriage and the chair form for raising and lowering the chair form;
• and stabilizing arms projecting from the carriage and located along the sides of the chair form for preventing the chair form from rotating relative to the base about a generally vertical axis.

In combination with a shampoo bowl, a chair for comfortably positioning an individual for receiving a shampoo at the shampoo bowl, said chair comprising;

• a base located in front of the shampoo bowl and providing tracks which extend generally toward the bow;
• a carriage mounted on the tracks of the base for movement on the base toward and away from the bowl;
• locking means mounted on the carriage and being capable of bearing against at least one of the tracks for coupling the carriage to the base when the locking means bears against the track so that the carriage cannot move on the base;
• a chair form supported on the carriage and having a generally horizontal seat portion and a back portion located at a substantial angle to the seat portion;
• elevating means interposed between the carriage and the chair form for raising and lowering the chair form;
• and stabilizing means for preventing the chair form from rotating relative to the base about a generally vertical axis.

In combination with a shampoo bowl, a chair for comfortably positioning an individual for receiving a shampoo at the shampoo bowl, said chair comprising:

• a base located in front of the shampoo bowl and providing parallel tracks which extend generally toward the bowl;
• a carriage mounted on the tracks of the base for movement on the base toward and away from the bowl, the carriage having two bars which lie along the tracks, wheels on the bars near the ends of the bars and supporting the bars on the tracks, and cross members extended between the two bars intermediate the wheels that are at the ends of the bars;
• locking means for coupling the carriage to the base so that the carriage cannot move on the base;
• a chair form supported on the carriage and having a generally horizontal seat portion and a back portion located at a substantial angle to the seat portion;
• a fluid operated cylinder mounted on the cross members of the carriage for raising and lowering the chair form;
• and stabilizing means for preventing the chair form from rotating relative to the base about a generally vertical axis.

• a carriage mounted on the tracks of the base for movement on the base toward and away from the bowl;
• locking means for coupling the carriage to the base so that the carriage cannot move on the base, the locking means being mounted on one of the tracks and, when coupling the carriage to the base, bearing against the carriage;
• a chair form supported on the carriage and having a generally horizontal seat portion and a back portion located at a substantial angle to the seat portion;
• elevating means interposed between the carriage and the chair form for raising and lowering the chair form;

A chair comprising:

• a base providing tracks;
• a carriage mounted on the tracks of the base for movement to and fro on the base;
• locking means for coupling the carriage to the base so that the carriage cannot move on the base;
• a chair form supported on the carriage and having a generally horizontal seat portion and a back portion located at a substantial angle to the seat portion;
• a fluid-operated cylinder located between the carriage and the chair form for raising and lowering the chair form and including a pump;
• an actuating member for operating the pump when moved to and fro, the member being connected to the locking means for causing the locking means to couple the carriage to the base when the member is moved in one direction;
• and stabilizing means for preventing the chair form from rotating relative to the base about the axis of the cylinder.
