Abstract
A support device having a substantially rigid support plate, a headrest supported on the support plate, the headrest being adapted to support the user's head, and a support pad at least partially supported on the support plate, the support pad being adapted to support the user's torso. In addition, a support pad for supporting torso of a user with enhanced comfort is provided, the support pad including a center pad, two side pads, and a stomach pad where the center pad has a durometer/compliance which is stiffer than the two side pads.
Claims29
A support device for facilitating positioning and enhance comfort of a user, said support device comprising:
- a substantially rigid support plate;
- a headrest supported on said support plate, said headrest being adapted to support the user's head;
- and
- a support pad at least partially supported on said support plate, said support pad being adapted to support the user's torso and comprises a foam subassembly having a plurality of separate pads;
- wherein said headrest is supported on said support plate by an articulating support assembly that allows articulation of said headrest relative to said support plate, said articulating support assembly comprising a support member, at least one lock lever, and at least one support rod that is pivotably secured to a mounting post secured to said support plate.
The support device for facilitating positioning and enhance comfort of a user, said support device comprising:
- a substantially rigid support plate;
- a headrest supported on said support plate, said headrest being adapted to support the user's head;
- and
- a support pad at least partially supported on said support plate, said support pad being adapted to support the user's torso;
- wherein said support pad further comprises a foam subassembly having a plurality of separate pads and said plurality of separate pads includes a center pad that has a substantially triangular cross sectional profile with sloped surfaces.
A support pad for supporting torso of a user with enhanced comfort, said support pad comprising:
- a center pad defining an elongated support region positioned longitudinally along the support pad to support a chest of the user;
- two side pads positioned longitudinally adjacent to said center pad;
- and
- a stomach pad;
- wherein said center pad has a durometer/compliance which is stiffer than said two side pads.
The support pad for supporting torso of a user with enhanced comfort, said support pad comprising:
- a center pad;
- two side pads;
- and
- a stomach pad;
- wherein said center pad has a durometer/compliance which is stiffer than said two side pads, and said center pad has a substantially triangular cross sectional profile with sloped surfaces.
