Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method concerning an educational pillow case. The pillow case comprises an interior surface and an exterior surface, the interior surface providing at least one room for casing a pillow and the exterior surface having a shape of a stuffed toy. The pillow case also comprises a plurality of pockets for carrying objects. At least one of the plurality of pockets is located on the exterior surface and displays objects and at least another of the plurality of pockets is located on the interior surface. The pillow case of the present invention further comprises a plurality of sets of detachable pieces. At least one of the plurality of pockets and at least one set of detachable pieces enable receiving information for the program for raising children. The objects include messages, or objectives, or incentives, or rewards, or a combination thereof. The at least one set of detachable pieces is arranged for exposing and updating information on an evolution of a behavior.

Abstract: There is provided a sit-stand stool comprising a seat adapted to support a pelvis of a user and a base. The base supports the seat and is adapted to securely engage a floor. The base is adapted to provide a tilting motion of the seat, between a raised position and a forwardly inclined position, in a vertical plane about a pivot axis in accordance with the posture of the user while constraining the movement to prevent lateral tilting or inclination transverse to the vertical plane. The base is also adapted to prevent a rearward motion beyond the raised position, and a forward motion beyond the forwardly inclined position in order to reduce the risks for the user to lose stability. Such a stool permits to the user to stabilize his posture, without being in a completely seated position.

Abstract: A seating device comprising a connecting element having an end portion dimensioned to be releasably and rotatably inserted into an aperture defined in a ground or floor. The aperture is dimensioned to receive the connecting element so as to support the seating device. The seating device also comprises a supporting element connected to a seat. The supporting element is pivotably connected to the connecting element. Moreover, at least one of the connecting element and supporting element comprises at least one stop so as to permit the supporting element to pivot between a first position whereat the supporting element is in a substantially vertical position, and a second position whereat the supporting element is forwardly inclined of 30 degrees or less with respect to the first position. Such a device is particularly useful for persons who need to stabilize their posture while performing a task.

Abstract: The present invention proposes an elbow rest device for use in the field of dentistry. The elbow rest device is connectable to an object. The device has a pad for supporting a user's elbow, an elongated member having an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion being coupled to the pad. The device further has a pivot mechanism for allowing the elongated member to be movable in a plane defined by a cone-like motion. The pivot mechanism is coupled to the lower portion of the elongated member. Finally, the device has a connecting assembly for connecting the elongated member to the object.
