Body support system for patients or the like

摘要

A body support system comprises a seat (3) including a base (19) and a seat member (21). The seat member (21) is slidably mounted on the base (19). A back support (7) is pivotable relative to the seat, and a connecting member (25) extends between the back support and the seat member (21) so as to urge the seat member to slide relative to the base (19) towards the back support as the back support is pivoted towards an in-line arrangement with the seat.
