Electrical Box The eight switches
will need to be hooked up to a control box along with 120v to power it.
We figured the one good place to mount this box would be at the top of
it, which puts it out of the way. Below I'm cutting out some pieces that
will make up the box.
|
|
 |
These are to the two end pieces and
I'm making some clearance holes for some wires to pass through. Each end
piece will have half a hole in it when it's finished.
|
|
 |
I glued all of the pieces and then used nails to hold it while the
glue dried.
|
|
 |
The 120 volt power will be fed in from the top so I'm making a bracket
that gets welded to the chair frame, which will hold a fitting for some
flexible conduit. Sadly I didn't take my detail pictures of the process,
sorry.

Final Details
Matt made this padded piece that will fasten to the chair frame which
came out very nice. The material is easily cleaned with disinfectant
and rag so it low maintenance.

Here you can see what's going on inside the box. The
half hole on either side has wires that run from the switches and then
to the control box. I attached a receptacle which supplies 120v to the
control box. Then everything gets stuffed inside the box and covered
with a lid that screws on.

The arrow is pointing to the bracket that I made and welded onto the
frame. Later we put a hose-clamp on the flexible conduit to make sure it
stayed in place.

It's Finished
Here it is all finished. We fastened the base to the
floor with 5/16" bolts and then painted the base. Those are real restraint
straps that only business owners can purchase. That means I couldn't buy
this type of strap if I wanted to. Really!

The overall height is almost seven feet tall and the width is 17".

This was a fun project and it was a pleasure working with my son-in-law
to make his vision come true improving on what was already really good.
