Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a user comprising a platform extending between first and second edges each having two corners, a frame having four substantially parallel uprights located proximate to each of the first and second edges of the platform, each of said uprights slidably locating said platform proximate to a corner of said platform and an elastic support member extending between each of the first and second edges of the platform and the frame so as suspend the platform from the frame. The platform is biased from a first position located proximate to a ground surface to a second position vertically spaced above the first position by the elastic support members, wherein said first and second positions are substantially parallel to each other.

Abstract: The present invention is a kneeler seat for use in the kneeling or sitting position. The kneeler seat comprises first and second leg members each having first and second end portions and a seat engagement portion disposed substantially closer to the first end portion than the second end portion. Each of the seat engagement portion comprise an elongated cavity having upper and lower surfaces and first and second side surfaces. Each of the seat engagement portions further comprises first and second guide and retention channels formed in the upper and lower surfaces of the elongated cavity, respectively. The first and second guide and retention channels are aligned and disposed parallel to and between the first and second sidewalls. The seat member comprises first and second plugs engageable with the seat engagement portions of the first and second leg members, respectively. Each of the first and second plugs comprises a base portion and first and second walls extending outward from said base portion.

Abstract: A kneeling and standing assist device including a knee and lower leg supporting platform which is pivotally movable between spaced handles from a raised inclined position to a lower generally horizontal position against a base with controlled resistance to lowering and assistance to elevating being provided by at least one energy storage extension element mounted between the platform and the base.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing seating and buttock and lower back support to a kneeling worker.
