Patent ID: 8408899

Claim:
A rear dental delivery system for use with a reclining dental chair assembly, comprising: a cabinet with at least one cabinet door defining a vertical surface, the cabinet being positionable on or slightly above a floor upon which the dental chair assembly rests and at a location laterally spaced apart from the dental chair assembly when reclined; a stationary pivot connection configured to be stationarily mounted to the floor or the cabinet and positioned adjacent the vertical surface, wherein the stationary pivot connection defines a pivot axis and does not protrude above a level of a lower extent of the at least one cabinet door, thereby allowing the cabinet door to be opened without interference with the stationary pivot connection; at least one movable arm pivotably mounted to the stationary pivot connection, the movable arm having a distal end movable through an arc to define an operating range of the movable arm, the movable arm having a floor-level portion configured for positioning close to the floor; at least one upright member coupled to and extending upwardly from the at least one movable arm; a work surface coupleable to the upright member for positioning in a generally horizontal plane; and a leg and knee space defined, when the movable arm is pivoted away from the cabinet, in a vertical plane extending upwardly from the floor level portion of the movable arm to at least a level of an underside of the work surface, the leg and knee space having an upper unobstructed portion extending vertically between the work surface and the movable arm and extending laterally from the cabinet and through the pivot axis to the upright member, wherein the movable arm is pivotable toward the cabinet to provide access to open floor space separating the cabinet from the dental chair assembly.
