Publication number: 20150224007Abstract: A medical examination table includes a seat, a compartment below the seat, a first extension, a second extension, a lift mechanism, a base, and a storage section formed in the base. The first extension is configured to be stored in the compartment, and is further configured to project outward relative to the seat when in an extended configuration of the first extension. The second extension is configured to be stored in the compartment with the first extension, and is further configured to project outward relative to the first extension when in an extended configuration of the second extension. The lift mechanism is configured to raise and lower the seat, the compartment, and the first and second extensions. The base is coupled to the lift mechanism. The storage section, formed in the base, is disposed behind the seat, where an internal dimension of the compartment is limited by the positioning of the storage section.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2015Publication date: August 13, 2015Applicant: THE BREWER COMPANY, LLCInventors: Jack A.

Patent number: 8479329Abstract: A medical examination table is provided. The medical examination table comprises a base providing a storage area, a patient support movable independent of the base between a lowered position and a raised position, and a lift mechanism coupled to the patient support for moving the patient support between the lowered position and the raised position. The patient support comprises a backrest and a seat. Movement of the patient support independent or separately from the base and without interfering with the storage areas within the base may allow for the efficient use of the examination table as a storage area.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2011Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: The Brewer Company, LLCInventors: Jack A.

Patent number: 7093313Abstract: A linkage mechanism for an adjustable arm assembly. The linkage assembly may be used to support an object, such as a headrest for use in connection with an examination table. The linkage mechanism provides structure to interlock or disengage two adjoining arm sections. The linkage mechanism controls relative movement of two adjoining arm sections without affecting the movement of non-adjoined sections or the headrest. The linkage mechanism further provides friction retention means so that the adjoining arms will retain their relative position to one another even if they are not in an interlocked position.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2003Date of Patent: August 22, 2006Assignee: The Brewer Company, LLCInventors: Jack A.
