Embodiment Construction

[0011]The present disclosure generally concerns embodiments of a chest support that support the weight of a user's torso, and more particularly an adjustable chest support that is operative to be adjusted by a user “hands free” (i.e., without the use of the hands). The angular position or tilt of the chest supports described herein may be adjusted forward and rearward relative to a seat (e.g., a seat of a chair attached to the chest support), allowing the user to bend, or tilt, his or her torso toward and away from a work area. The chest supports are operative to support the torso of a user at the chest area, thereby permitting the user to perform a task while reducing the likelihood of lower back pain and body fatigue. In some embodiments, arm support assemblies may also be mounted to the chest support to effect corresponding movement of the arm support assemblies toward and away from the work area upon adjustment of the angular position or tilt of the chest support.

Abstract

A chest support that supports the weight of a user's torso, and more particularly an adjustable chest support that is operative to be adjusted by a user “hands free” (i.e., without the use of the hands). The angular position or tilt of the chest support may be adjusted forward and rearward relative to a seat (e.g., a seat of a chair attached to the chest support), allowing the user to bend, or tilt, his or her torso toward and away from a work area. The chest support is operative to support the torso of a user at the chest area, thereby permitting the user to perform a task while reducing the likelihood of lower back pain and body fatigue. In some embodiments, arm support assemblies may also be mounted to the chest support to effect corresponding movement of the arm support assemblies toward and away from the work area upon adjustment of the angular position or tilt of the chest support.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 180,394 , filed May 21, 2009, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present disclosure generally concerns embodiments of a chest support and more particularly an adjustable chest support that is operative to be adjusted by a user hands free.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Certain tasks or procedures place considerable musculoskeletal demands on individuals performing those tasks. Such tasks may include performing surgery, performing dental work, repairing automobiles, or the like. For example, during laparoscopic surgery, a surgeon typically stands to one side of the operating table while manipulating relatively long instruments and while viewing the procedure on a video monitor. Unfortunately, the surgeon has little opportunity to move the body a...
