Customizable Chair With Multipoint Adjustment
US Patent:
2013034, Dec 26, 2013
Filed:
Jun 22, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/530926
Inventors:
Michael V. Halliday - Salem UT, US
Steven R. Halliday - Salem UT, US
Steven R. Halliday - Salem UT, US
International Classification:
A47C 7/14
US Classification:
2972843
Abstract:
A chair including a seat member for supporting a user, a backrest member mounted on the seat member, an adjustable platform attached to the backrest member in which the adjustable platform is selectively adjustable to provide a desired contour for supporting the back of a user seated within the chair, and a multipoint adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the adjustable platform along multiple locations of the platform to provide a desired contour for supporting the back of a user seated within the chair. The chair may be custom fitted to a specific user where the curvature of a user's back (e.g., in the spinal region) is measured relative to an idealized curvature, and the multi-point adjustment mechanism of the chair may be dialed in to improve the user's posture as the user uses the chair.
Spine Contour Gauge And Method
US Patent:
5471995, Dec 5, 1995
Filed:
Dec 3, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/162598
Inventors:
Michael V. Halliday - Salem UT
International Classification:
G01B 500
US Classification:
128781
Abstract:
A device and methods for quantitatively measuring spinal contours and flexibility are provided. The device includes a plurality of substantially parallel coplanar shafts slidable within a guide block. One end of each shaft lies within a chamber which may be pressurized, thereby urging the opposite ends of the shafts to gently deploy against a patient's spine. The shafts may be locked in position with a keeper strip. The relative positions of the shafts may be quantified, and these quantified positions may be processed according to methods of the present invention to obtain reliable quantitative summaries of the curvature and flexibility of selected spinal contours.
