Abstract: A chair assembly intended for use when taking X-ray pictures includes a chair and wheels for rotating and moving the chair relative to a carriage structure in the directions of the X- and Y-coordinates. Movement in the direction of these coordinates is effected by two guide frames provided with guides. A separate support frame provided with castors is arranged on the seat parts of the chair to prevent the chair from toppling or tipping. The castors of the support frame are normally located at a small distance from the underlying support surface, so as not to impede rotational and coordinate movements of respective chair members. Chair movements are controlled by a stirrup-like control bar having provided in the central portion thereof other control parts for activating the release of locking parts which lock the chair components against rotary movement and movement in the direction of the coordinates.

Operational state detectors then detect the operational state of each power seat. A switching device is provided for adjusting the adjustment mechanisms of the power seats to a desired operational state. Control apparatus is responsive to signals output from the operation state detection devices and the switching device for controlling the adjustment mechanisms of the power seats. The control apparatus causes each power seat to reach its desired operational state in response to the detected operational state of that seat and other power seats to prevent interference among the plurality of moving power seats.

Abstract: A vertical tubular frame rigidly but detachably secured to the front wall of a bar at a right angle with said bar and extending out from under said bar at a suitable level to provide an arm rest for the occupant of a castersupported bar stool pivotally connected to the front vertical element of said frame on the axis of said element, with the back of said stool, when the latter is facing said bar, approximately parallel with and equidistant from the bar with said axis.The stool is swingable solely about said axis between an inner position, where it thus faces said bar and an outer position where it faces at approximately a right angle to the bar, thereby facilitating a person entering or leaving the space between the bar and said stool. The radii on which the casters turn intersect said vertical axis of said front frame element so as to track with said stool when the latter is swung about said element. Said casters are also adjustable vertically to assure smooth operation of the stool.
