The present invention relates to an ergonomic support for
microscope or similar stationary ocular tools that provides three general
adjustments to ameliorate the physical position of users relative to the
microscope. An inclination device allows a more horizontal view into
oculars while a horizontal sliding device can modify the distance of the
microscope relative to its users. Finally, an elevation mechanism allows
the adjustment of the height of microscope, therefore preventing undue
bending of users.
La présente invention traite d'un support ergonomique pour microscope ou autre
dispositif oculaire stationnaire permettant un ajustement selon trois axes
afin d'améliorer la
posture physique de l'utilisateur par rapport au microscope. Un module
d'inclinaison permet
d'obtenir une meilleure position horizontale de l'utilisateur par rapport aux
oculaires alors qu'un
rail permet d'en modifier la distance par rapport à ce dernier. Finalement, un
mécanisme
d'élévation permet l'ajustement de la hauteur du microscope, prévenant ainsi à
l'utilisateur de se
pencher inutilement sur l'appareil.
