Abstract

Abstract A tray-supporting device which is attachable to a hydraulic lift beauty shop chair having a central piston and an upstanding base. The device consists of a sleeve, a bent piece of tubing, and a tray or trays carried by the tubing. The sleeve is coaxially fitted to the piston for free turning thereabout, and rides atop the base. The tubing has an arm fixed to the sleeve. and an upright post spaced an optimum distance from the piston axis and movable along a concentric path to locations convenient to a beauty operator working around the chair. The trays are free to turn on the post and are adjustably mounted at optimum levels for the operator, the trays being maintained at such levels independently of the height of the chair.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 177 words
A tray-supporting device attachable to a beauty shop chair having a centrally disposed vertical support and an upstanding base relative to which the support is vertically movable for adjusting the height of the chair, said device comprising: a coaxial sleeve surrounding the support and supported on a horizontal portion of the base at a fixed height for free turning about the axis of the support; a tray-supporting member secured to the sleeve for turning therewith, said member having a laterally extending arm and an upright post, said post being disposed abaxially an optimum distance beyond the chair and movable concentrically of the support axis by turning of the member for variously positioning the post over an area around the chair in which a beauty operator works; and a tray mounted on the post at an optimum level, whereby said member can be turned for effectively locating the tray in various positions around the chair convenient to the operator and the tray is maintained at optimum level in its various positions independently of the height of the chair.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 177 words
A tray-supporting device attachable to a beauty shop chair having a centrally disposed vertical support and an upstanding base relative to which the support is vertically movable for adjusting the height of the chair, said device comprising: a coaxial sleeve surrounding the support and supported on a horizontal portion of the base at a fixed height for free turning about the axis of the support; a tray-supporting member secured to the sleeve for turning therewith, said member having a laterally extending arm and an upright post, said post being disposed abaxially an optimum distance beyond the chair and movable concentrically of the support axis by turning of the member for variously positioning the post over an area around the chair in which a beauty operator works; and a tray mounted on the post at an optimum level, whereby said member can be turned for effectively locating the tray in various positions around the chair convenient to the operator and the tray is maintained at optimum level in its various positions independently of the height of the chair.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 75 words
The device of claim 1 in which the chair is of the hydraulic lift type having a vertically movable piston which constitutes the chair support, the base receives the piston and has an upper end which is horizontal, and the sleeve slidably engages the piston and rests on said upper end of the base during movement of the piston, whereby the tray is supported at the same level regardless of the height of the chair.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 46 words
The device of claim 1 in which the tray-supporting member is a bent piece of tubing consisting of an arm portion having one end thereof fixed to the sleeve and the other end thereof joined to an upright post portion on which the tray is mounted.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 34 words
The device of claim 1 in which the tray is mounted on the post for rotation about the axis thereof, whereby the tray can be turned to provide easy access to the contents thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 197 words
A tray-supporting device attachable to a beauty shop chair having a centrally disposed vertical support and an upstanding base, said device comprising: a coaxial sleeve surrounding the support and supported on a horizontal portion of the base for free turning about the axis of the support; a tray-supporting member secured to the sleeve for turning therewith, said member having a laterally extending arm and an upright post, said post being disposed abaxially an optimum distance beyond the chair and movable concentrically of the support axis by turning of the member for variously positioning the post over an area around the chair in which a beauty operator works; and a tray mounted on the post at an optimum level, whereby said member can be turned for selectively locating the tray in various positions around the chair convenient to the operator and the tray is maintained at optimum level in its various positions; said tray having a central hub journaled on the post, and said post having an adjustable supporting collar underlying the tray, whereby the tray is mounted on the post for rotation about the axis thereof and can be turned to provide easy access to its contents.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 197 words
A tray-supporting device attachable to a beauty shop chair having a centrally disposed vertical support and an upstanding base, said device comprising: a coaxial sleeve surrounding the support and supported on a horizontal portion of the base for free turning about the axis of the support; a tray-supporting member secured to the sleeve for turning therewith, said member having a laterally extending arm and an upright post, said post being disposed abaxially an optimum distance beyond the chair and movable concentrically of the support axis by turning of the member for variously positioning the post over an area around the chair in which a beauty operator works; and a tray mounted on the post at an optimum level, whereby said member can be turned for selectively locating the tray in various positions around the chair convenient to the operator and the tray is maintained at optimum level in its various positions; said tray having a central hub journaled on the post, and said post having an adjustable supporting collar underlying the tray, whereby the tray is mounted on the post for rotation about the axis thereof and can be turned to provide easy access to its contents.
