Abstract
A medical treatment chair e.g. a dental chair, having switch housings releasably mounted on the back portion of the chair, and manually operated switches provided on the switch housings for electrically controlling the operation of parts of or associated with the chair e.g. movable parts of the chair or medical equipment to be used on a patient on the chair. A connecting cable is connected at one end to each switch housing and has a plug connector at its other end which engages a respective socket provided in the interior of the back portion. When the plug connector is in engagement with the socket, the cable prevents inadvertent removal of the switch housing from the back portion. To permit ready engagement and disengagement of each plug connector and socket, an access opening (normally closed) is provided in the back portion to enable manual manipulation of the plug connector and socket within the back portion.
