  • Patent number: 8256047
    Abstract: A combination of a treatment device and an anterior support device is disclosed. The combination includes a treatment device having an edge and an attachment member movably secured thereto and an anterior support device having an elongated member which interacts with the attachment member. The anterior support device has first and second pivotable connectors, one being secured to the elongated member and the other to a padded rest. The anterior support device also includes first and second movable rods secured to the first and second pivotable connectors. A second end of the first movable rod is rotatably connected to a second end of the second movable rod and an actuating mechanism is connected to both of the second ends of the rods. The actuating mechanism enables the first and second rods to be locked in a set position to maintain the padded rest in a desired orientation relative to the treatment device.

  • Publication number: 20080054698
    Abstract: An anterior support device for use with a dental chair is disclosed which can provide support for a user's torso while he is in a forward leaning position. The anterior support device includes an adapter secured to the dental chair and a first pivotable connector secured to the adapter. A first movable rod engages the first pivotable connector. The support device further includes a padded rest against which a user can lean his torso and a second pivotable connector secured to the padded rest. A second movable rod engages the second pivotable connector and is also rotatably connected to the first movable rod. An actuating mechanism is connected to the first and second movable rods and enables the two rods to be locked in a set position to maintain the padded rest in a desired orientation relative to the dental chair.
