  • Publication number: 20220142372
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a tray including a plurality of radial openings. An inner tray support and an outer tray support are connected to the tray using a fixed connection that allows the tray to pivot within the inner tray support and the outer tray support. A spring-tensioned ball catch is configured to provide the tray a slip-locking connection through the plurality of radial openings of the tray that allows the tray to be rotationally adjusted within the inner tray support and the outer tray support.

  • Publication number: 20210393037
    Abstract: An adjustable chair frame with a back and seating surfaces that flex to conform to the shape, weight and movement of an occupant is disclosed. The chair form and proportions provide for a recumbent position that disperses the weight of the occupant more evenly, thereby reducing external and internal physiological point loading. The form also provides ergonomic articulation to minimize internal physiological stresses such as neck/back vertebral compression. Eccentric connections driven by a motor assembly allow positioning adjustment of the components of the chair. Additionally, an air pump assembly may be included to automatically adjust one or more air bladders provided on the interior of the chair frame.
