Telpher Carrier Or Chair Lift Patents (Class D12/52)
  • Patent number: 6855098
    Abstract: An exercise and rehabilitation chair includes a framework having lower frame members, pivotal front legs, and elongate rear legs. The chair includes a seat assembly having a seat bottom and seat back and upper arms, each upper arm being pivotally coupled at one end to a generally upstanding support arm and at an opposed end to a front leg. Bearing housings pivotally connect corresponding support arms and rear legs and establish a fulcrum about which the seat assembly may rotate. The bearing housings may be slidably positioned longitudinally along corresponding support arms and rear legs using pin fasteners or, alternatively, using motorized gear assemblies. The displacement of the fulcrum relative to a user's hips is adjustable for regulating the resistance of chair operation. A foot assembly is pivotally coupled to the front legs. All pivotal connections correspond anatomically to a user's joints for low joint stress and low-resistance exercise.
