Patent attributes
A medical or dental cart for carrying medical or dental instruments. The cart comprises a base, a back pillar mounted on the base, a boom arm connected to the back pillar using hinged joints, and an instrument carrier connected to the boom arm using hinged joints. The instrument carrier is configured to carry medical or dental instruments. The hinged joints are configured such that the boom arm is rotatable toward the base and away from the base, and such that the instrument carrier is held at a substantially fixed orientation relative to the base throughout the range of motion of the boom arm. The hinged joints are also configured to impede sideways rotation, thereby impeding movement of the instrument carrier in a substantially sideways direction and thus impeding sideways tipping of the cart.
