- the facial support receptacle can pivot with respect to the crossbar.
- Elements of the rest can be padded and upholstered.
- apparatus comprises a main limb generally indicated by arrow 1 having an elongate upright 2 and a footing 3, a brace generally indicated by arrow 4 which has an upright 5 and a footing 6 and a rest generally indicated by arrow 7 for providing support for a patient's upper body parts.
- the footing 3 of the limb 1 can be cylindrical tube having opposed ends 8 extending to either side of upright 2.
- the upright 2 which can be manufactured from metal tubestock mounts a plurality of cross-bars generally indicated by arrow 9.
- One crossbar 9a can be fixed and two others 9b are adjustable on the upright 2.
- crossbars 9 can be used either as footrests or as handle bars.
- the adjustable crossbars 9b can be fitted to a collars 10 having threaded locking members 11.
- the upright 5 is adapted to act as a brace for the upright 2 and is pivotably connected to the upright by a pivot arrangement 12.

- the upright 5 mounts adjustable engagement means generally indicated by arrow 14.
- the engagement means 14 is slidable and lockable on the upright 5 and comprises a collar 15 and a lock 16.
- Forks 17 extend from the collar 15 and mount a telescopic arm 18.
- the degree that the arm 18 extends is adjustable and the arm 18 can be locked in position by a locking device 19.
- the engagement means 14 can be set at an angle beneath the rail of a bed or operating table with the contact position ensuring that the apparatus cannot roll away from the bed or table.
- Means such as allen keys (not shown) may be used to lock arm 18 at a set incline.
- the rest 7 can be adjustably mounted on the end of the upright 2 and locked in position by a locking device 20.
- the rest has a shaft 21 which can telescope within the upright 2.
- the rest 7 has a crossbar 22 , a sternum support 23 and a facial support/receptacle 24 and all elements of the rest can be padded and upholstered for the comfort of users.
