Abstract

A personal supporting device supports a person thereon in various seated positions. The device includes a base member and a deck pivotally supported on the base member for pivotal movement about a hinge axis. Each of the base member and the deck include plural docking stations at spaced positions from the hinge axis for coupling a support arm between docking stations of the deck and base member respectively. Accordingly, the deck may be supported at various inclinations in relation to the base member by varying the docking stations to which the support arm is coupled on both the deck and the base member. The flexibility offered by multiple docking stations on both the deck and the base member ensures that the support arm can be safely mounted in compression at an acute interior angle while providing a wide range of angles at which the deck may be supported.
