Description

La présente invention a pour objet une table qui permet, par une simple posture, un étirement de la colonne vertébrale, et de ce fait soulage les douleurs dorsales.The present invention relates to a table which allows, by a simple posture, a stretching of the spine, and thereby relieves back pain.

Les tables à traction traditionnelles mettent en oeuvre des systèmes sophistiqués de poulies et de poids difficiles à manier et parfois dangereux du fait de tractions trop importantes.Traditional traction tables use sophisticated pulley and weight systems that are difficult to handle and sometimes dangerous due to excessive traction.

La présente invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant une table de conception simple et sans danger d'utilisation.The present invention overcomes these drawbacks by providing a table of simple design and safe to use.

La table selon l'invention comporte un piètement tubulaire formé de deux pieds avant verticaux et de deux pieds arrière disposés en oblique, solidarisés bilatéralement à deux tubes horizontaux constituant les bords de la table, l'ensemble étant surmonté d'un plateau positionné à une hauteur permettant à un patient allongé en décubitus ventral d'avoir les membres inférieurs dans le vide.The table according to the invention comprises a tubular base formed by two vertical front legs and two rear legs arranged obliquely, secured bilaterally to two horizontal tubes constituting the edges of the table, the assembly being surmounted by a tray positioned at a height allowing a patient lying prone to have the lower limbs in a vacuum.

Conformément à l'invention, deux éléments tubulaires en forme de L sont montés coulissants sur les bords longitudinaux de la table, leur base étant solidarisée à chacun desdits bords longitudinaux et leur partie supérieure s'étendant horizontalement, de part et d'autre du plateau, lesdits éléments pouvant être bloqués par tout moyen approprié, par exemple une vis. Ces éléments tubulaires ont pour fonction de retenir les bras du patient une fois installé sur la table, permettant de réaliser un étirement passif des muscles paravertébraux et donc une diminution de la pression entre les vertèbres.According to the invention, two L-shaped tubular elements are mounted sliding on the longitudinal edges of the table, their base being secured to each of said longitudinal edges and their upper part extending horizontally, on either side of the plate, said elements being able to be blocked by any suitable means, for example a screw . These tubular elements have the function of retaining the patient's arms once installed on the table, allowing a passive stretching of the paravertebral muscles and therefore a reduction in the pressure between the vertebrae.

Toujours conformément à l'invention, deux poignées verticales sont disposées aux extrémités supérieures des pieds arrière de la table, en vue de permettre un étirement actif des muscles paravertébraux lorsque le patient les agrippe et réalise une extension de ses membres supérieurs repoussant le tronc vers l'extrémité avant de la table.Still in accordance with the invention, two vertical handles are arranged at the upper ends of the rear legs of the table, in order to allow active stretching of the paravertebral muscles when the patient grips them and performs an extension of their upper limbs pushing the trunk towards the front end of the table.

Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel de la table selon l'invention, les deux pieds arrière de la table sont munis chacun de deux ou trois échelons permettant au patient de monter afin de s'allonger à plat ventre, en laissant pendre ses membres inférieurs dans l'espace séparant les deux demi-échelles formées par lesdits échelons.According to a preferred embodiment of the table according to the invention, the two rear legs of the table are each provided with two or three steps allowing the patient to climb in order to lie down face down, leaving his lower limbs hanging in the space separating the two half-scales formed by said steps.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif.The present invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.

L'unique figure du dessin annexé représente une vue en perspective de la table selon l'invention.The single figure of the appended drawing represents a perspective view of the table according to the invention.

Si on se réfère à cette figure, on voit que la table selon l'invention comporte un plateau 1 rectangulaire horizontal placé sur un piètement formé de deux pieds avant 2 verticaux et deux pieds arrières 3 inclinés vers l'arrière selon un angle A de 110° environ, assurant une bonne stabilité de l'ensemble lorsque le patient monte sur la table, les pieds 2 et 3 étant solidarisés à des tubes horizontaux longitudinaux 22 et transversaux 23.If we refer to this figure, we see that the table according to the invention comprises a horizontal rectangular tray 1 placed on a base formed by two front legs 2 vertical and two rear legs 3 inclined rearward at an angle A of 110 ° approximately, ensuring good stability of the whole when the patient climbs on the table, feet 2 and 3 being secured to longitudinal longitudinal tubes 22 and transverse tubes 23.

Sur chacun des deux pieds arrières 3 sont fixés trois échelons 31, 32, 33 et 41, 42, 43 d'environ une douzaine de centimètres chacun, dirigés vers l'intérieur, constituant deux demi-échelles 30 et 40 séparées par un espace d d'environ 30 centimètres, permettant au patient de laisser pendre ses membres inférieurs ou de les balancer sans retenue.On each of the two rear legs 3 are fixed three rungs 31, 32, 33 and 41, 42, 43 of about a dozen centimeters each, directed inward, constituting two half-scales 30 and 40 separated by a space d about 30 centimeters, allowing the patient to let his lower limbs hang loose or swing them without restraint.

Le long des bords longitudinaux 22 du plateau 1 coulissent deux éléments tubulaires 6 en forme de L pouvant être bloqués par une vis 61, afin de retenir le patient sous les aisselles, les bras pendant de part et d'autre de la table.Along the longitudinal edges 22 of the plate 1 slide two tubular elements 6 in the form of L which can be blocked by a screw 61, in order to retain the patient under the armpits, the arms hanging on either side of the table.

Les pieds arrière 3 sont prolongés à leur partie supérieure par deux poignées verticales tubulaires 5 dépassant le plateau 1 d'une quinzaine de centimètres. Lorsque le patient agrippe les poignées 5 et étend ses membres supérieurs, il repousse le tronc vers l'avant : les jambes du patient viennent alors prendre appui sur le bord du plateau 1 au niveau des cuisses, ce qui provoque un étirement de la colonne vertébrale.The rear legs 3 are extended at their upper part by two vertical tubular handles 5 extending beyond the plate 1 by about fifteen centimeters. When the patient grips the handles 5 and extends his upper limbs, he pushes the trunk forward: the patient's legs then come to rest on the edge of the tray 1 at the thighs, which causes a stretching of the spine .

Comme pour toute table médicale, les quatre pieds sont reliés entre eux, à courte distance du sol, par des barres longitudinales 7 et transversales 8 assurant sa stabilité, un espace libre étant ménagé à l'arrière de la table afin que les membres inférieurs du patient puissent se balancer sans retenue.As with any medical table, the four legs are connected together, a short distance from the ground, by longitudinal bars 7 and transverse bars 8 ensuring its stability, a free space being provided at the rear of the table so that the lower limbs of the patient can swing without restraint.

A titre indicatif, pour un patient de taille moyenne, la table peut avoir une hauteur de 120 centimètres et le plateau 1 une longueur de 80 centimètres et une largeur de 55 centimètres.As an indication, for a medium-sized patient, the table can have a height of 120 centimeters and the tray 1 a length of 80 centimeters and a width of 55 centimeters.
