Description

"ARTICULATED ARM FOR TABLE, BENCH OR SIMILAR". The present invention relates to a table, bench or similar articulated arm, particularly for dynamic support of the upper limbs of persons, who use their arms, forearms and hands more constantly, for example, in typing work, making and assembling complex parts or any other repetitive and constant work that may cause premature tiredness and future repetitive exercise injuries (RSI), providing a device that provides dynamic support more directly to the forearm, allowing it to move in various directions in a horizontal plane of action.

It is well known by those skilled in the art that repetitive movements over time can harm people and often cause irreversible damage to their health or let them dry out that directly affect human upper limb movements, making it impossible for certain daily tasks.

Currently the state of the art provides few arm and / or forearm models to be used for repetitive action work, ie existing models simply serve as a fixed forearm support, being a rather soft piece for rest As far as the hands work and manipulate diverse objects, however, currently there is no mechanical system capable of providing the arms of people with a dynamic support and support to work and move the said arms, forearms and hands in a single device. The present technological novelty was developed considering the necessity of an articulated arm for table, bench or similar that provides a dynamic device for support and mobility of the upper limbs of the human body, more directly acting on the forearm, allowing it to move. in a basically horizontal plane. Another object of said invention is to provide a table, bench or similar articulated arm that provides substantially flexible, diversified, continuous, light and uniform positioning in its working plane, allowing the user complete freedom of movement of the upper limbs, particularly forearms and limbs. hands, facilitating manual work. Another object of said invention is to provide an articulated table, bench or similar articulated arm that contains movable locking bracket or the like from which a articulated rod is derived which enables a horizontal angular displacement movement of at least 180 degrees.

Another object of said invention is to provide a table, bench or similar articulated arm which has a seat or bed for dynamic support and rest of the forearm arranged in the upper arm, substantially reducing the weight of the arm and arm assembly. body of the person who is working, such as typing, manipulating miscellaneous pieces and so on.

Another object of said invention is to provide a table, bench or similar articulated arm that contains a lower pin-like projection in the seat or bed which acts jointly with predetermined holes or slots arranged superiorly along the length of the rod so as to enable a larger or smaller field of hand access in a horizontal working plane.

Another object of said invention is to provide an articulated arm for table, workbench or the like which contains the aforementioned seat or bed hingedly on said already articulated rod, allowing a 360 degree rotation of the seat relative to said rod, providing the total flexibility in the horizontal movements necessary for the routine and manual work of a person.

Another object of said invention is to provide an articulated arm for table, bench or the like that forces the user to tend to stand with the spine straight while using it, even while sitting, improving the positioning of the individual or worker of that routine.

Another object of said invention is to provide a table, bench or similar articulated arm that is practical in use, easily adaptable to furniture or benches, has reduced weight and cost and is portable.

Another object of said invention is to provide an articulated arm for table, bench or the like which can be used for various applications in industrial, health and movement rehabilitation, offices and the like. For a better definition and clarification of the invention in question the following figures are attached, namely:

Figure 1 - Side view of the articulated arm for table, bench or similar; Figure 2 - Top view of the articulated arm for table, bench or similar; Figure 3 - Isometric view of the articulated arm for table, bench or similar, subtracted the seat for the forearm;

Figures 4, 5 and 6 - Isometric views of the articulated arm for table, bench or similar, simulating the flexibility of movements and / or positioning made possible by the innovation in question;

Figures 4, 5 and 6 - Isometric view of the articulated arm for table, bench or similar, showing its application as an example. According to the illustrations specified above, said invention is a pivoting arm (1) formed by a locking bracket (2) having a preferred locking means (3) to be applied to the thickness of a preferred table or bench (4). .

From said support (2) a joint (5) is projected from which a rod (6) is derived which acts in solidarity with said joint (5), so as to provide a movement with horizontal angular displacement of at least 180 degrees. Said rod (6) has predetermined holes or slots (7), arranged superiorly along the length thereof, and in these predetermined holes or slots (7) the seat (8) overlaps by a pin (9), projected below said seat (8), to allow a 360 degree rotation of this seat (8) relative to the rod (6), providing full flexibility of the horizontal movements required for manual and routine work of a person.

Although the constructive arrangement of the innovation is described in this way, structural changes are possible while maintaining the scope of the invention.
