Abstract:

A pediatric table-chair which allows for multiple positioning of a body support platform when in its functional position or for folding when not in use. The table has a body support platform which has an upper end pivotally connected to two rigid supporting members and has the lower end pivotally connected to a telescopically variable support. The other ends of the two rigid supporting members and the telescopically variable support are pivotally connected to a center support of a sectional base. The base is supported by wheels which allow mobility of the device. Also pivotally attached to the base is a folding handle. There are two horizontal braces, one end of each which is pivotally connected to the folding handle, the other end of each which is pivotally connected to a respective rigid supporting member. The brace also provides a support for a rear utility tray when the device is in the functional position. A detachable head rest, foot rest and front utility tray can be added to the body support platform as needed.
