ABSTRACT:
A lifting seat device having a lifting arm coupled to or adapted to be coupled to a seat member and a mechanism for controlling the angular position of the lifting arm to assist in lowering and raising the seat member, the lowering and raising mechanism comprising a compression spring enclosed within a housing and whose compression is arranged to be increased upon the lifting arm being angularly displaced as a result of a user sitting on said seat member, there being means enabling the spring to be adjustably pre-stressed to enable the load/displacement characteristics of the lifting arm to be adjusted and preselected. The lifting arm can be selectively separable from the lowering and raising mechanism so that when the lifting arm is removed from or is repositioned in the mechanism, the seat can be used in a conventional, non-lifting mode. Furthermore, the lifting arm can be selectively held in a position corresponding to a fully depressed condition of the lifting arm so that again the seat can be used in a non-lifting mode.
