Sliding and tilting bracket

摘要

A vertical column 3 may have a sliding bracket assembly 1 located thereon using a slot 2. A tilting bracket assembly 4 may be located on the sliding bracket via a horizontal axle 5. A swivelling assembly 6 may be rotationally located to the tilting bracket via a linking pin 7 and associated bearings. The sliding bracket may move up and down the column. Figure 2 shows the whole assembly low on the column with the tilting bracket assembly and swivelling assembly level. To pivot the tilting bracket upward and hence pivot the swivelling assembly upward a knob [Fig 5, 14] located on the tilting bracket is pulled outwards thereby aligning wheel [Fig 5, 11] with runner (or angled ramp) 10. The device may act to provide support to a user who has limited strength in the arms and is intended to allow the user to bring their hands to their face.
