  • Patent number: 8479329
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7093313
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6568008
    Abstract: A medical examination table is adapted to receive at least one two-way drawer assembly with a removable locking mechanism and an articulating backrest. The backrest is controlled by a linear actuator and can be adjusted to any desired position. The backrest requires a relatively small amount of space in the table, and therefore, storage capacity of the table is maximized.

  • Patent number: 6561111
    Abstract: A portable boat dock that is a rectangularly shaped and planar sheet of thermoplastic material, that is set between the bottom surface of a shoreline and a hull and keel of a boat beaching and docking on the shoreline. The thermoplastic material has a first set of evenly distributed apertures that allow the thermoplastic material to sink to the bottom of the shoreline, and can be secured to the shoreline with stakes or rope and can be anchored with small portable anchors that can be attached and removed with releasable clips. The thermoplastic material is light, durable and easy to store, and can be tied together to accommodate larger boats.

  • Patent number: 6550084
    Abstract: A retractable and self-supporting step for a medical examination table and a method for use. The step having a large top with a safety mat for ease of use and patient maneuverability can be selectively extended from a cavity located on a medical examination and returned when not in use. The step is self-supporting, thus providing enhanced stability and safety during use.
