  • 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.

  • Patent number: 7624737
    Abstract: A support device and associated appurtenances, which support a user's torso while in a forward leaning position. The device includes a rest the user can lean his/her torso on while working in a forward leaning position, and support structure adapted which can adjust the angle, height, and/or lateral position of the rest. A support device includes support structure, and a rest supported by the support structure, from a base. The rest can support the torso of a user, from the base, as the user leans his/her torso against the rest. Transport structure can be used to move the support structure back and forth along the base. One or more pivotations can be used from base to rest. The invention is useful anywhere a user leans forward for an extended time, such as dentists, working over a desk, over a drafting table, or over a manufacturing line or assembly line.
