Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for spinal therapy in the form of a couch according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a device for spinal therapy with one on one is known Frame or frame of a spring-loaded bed surface with a vibration generator to generate a three-dimensional vibration for the lying surface, with a Footrest that is height-adjustable by motor and with a head element, which forms a headrest that is movable in the longitudinal direction of the device and with a Force is applied so that during treatment one on the couch arranged patients also a pulling force during the vibration movement on the patient's head resting on the headrest.
  • a device for training and / or treating one is also known human body (DE 33 29 931 A), this device consisting essentially of there is a couch that is provided with rollers at one end and at the other end is held on a vertical guide. The latter is attached to a building wall, so that the couch between a substantially vertical position in a horizontal Location is movable.
  • a device for vibration treatment is also known (DE 42 29 156) essentially from a couch with an electric motor There is a vibrating part and a frame, the head part is from the vibrating part mechanically decoupled, namely in that between the headboard and the bed elastic means are provided.
  • a therapy device in the form of a bed (US Pat. No. 5,020,520) is known heated lying surface and a height-adjustable footrest.
  • the invention aims to simplify a device for spinal therapy and to achieve an optimal therapeutic effect.
  • a footrest is provided on the lying surface, which is preferred is adjustable in height and with the vibration movement of the lying surface is moved.
  • This version has particular advantages for a treatment Elongation of the spine for the correction of joint defects.
  • the patient is positioned with his back on the lying surface, the patient's lower extremities or legs resting on the footrest, which is raised for stretching the spine. Since the footrest on the Lying surface is provided and moves with the vibration movement of the lying surface with this stretching also when the body is lifted off the support the transmission of the vibration movement to the body via the legs maintained so that the stretching of the spine occurs under vibration and so the desired correction of joint defects can be optimally achieved.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized inter alia. through a particularly compact Design, simple operation and in particular also an optimal therapeutic Effect out.
  • the device for spinal column therapy shown in the figures is a couch 1 executed and consists essentially of a frame or frame 2, on which on the top a lying surface 3 for the shoulder, trunk and Leg area of the patient to be treated is provided, in all three Room axes elastic or spring-loaded, with the help of rubber buffers or rubber feet 4, one of which is shown in detail in FIG.
  • the Rubber feet 4 are each on the one hand on the frame or housing 2 or on one there frame 2 'and on the other hand above the frame 2' on the lying surface 3 or attached to a vibrating plate 3 'forming the base of this lying surface.
  • the oscillating plate 3 ' is padded at 3 "on the upper side Vibrating plate 3 'is also attached to the vibratory drive 5, which is driven by an electric motor 6 and an eccentrically attached to the motor shaft mass 7, which at motor 6 switched on by an angle with the plane of the oscillating plate 3 ' enclosing motor axis and thereby the vibrating plate 3 'in a Vibration movement offset, the movement components in all three Has spatial axes, namely in the two, the plane of the vibration plate 3 ' determining spatial axis and in the perpendicular spatial axis.
  • headrest 9 On the head element 8 is a headrest 9, which is padded and for resting the head of the patient, slidably provided in the longitudinal direction L of the couch 1.
  • headrest 9 is attached to the upper end of a support rod 10, which by a slot 11 of the head elements 8 extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis L. through to the underside of this head element and preferably there height adjustable attached to a flat, leaf spring-like support member 12, which with its longitudinal extent perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L and at both ends a ball guide 13 attached, which is also in the direction of the longitudinal axis L extends and allows guidance in this longitudinal axis.
  • the headrest 9 is in the longitudinal direction L from the lying surface 3 biased away so that to achieve the desired therapeutic effect with her body on her back on the lying surface 3 and her head on the Headrest 9 lying on the person when the lying surface 3 vibrates (by the drive 5) at the same time a certain pulling force is exerted on the patient's head.
  • a braking or blocking device 15 is provided, which takes effect when the headrest 9 is relieved, i.e. the headrest 9 in that Blocked position that this headrest currently occupies when the load is removed.
  • the braking or blocking device 15 is in the illustrated embodiment in essentially formed by a rail 16 which is located on the underside of the Head element 8 extends parallel to the slot 11 on one side of the slot, and between the underside of the head element 8 and the support element 12.
  • the support element 12 17 On the side facing the rail 16 there is a brake pad on the support element 12 17 provided, which is pressed against the rail 16 when the headrest 9 is not loaded abuts and thereby the headrest 9 against the action of the spring or weight 14 blocked.
  • the support element 12 gives something in the middle after, whereby the brake pad 12 comes out of engagement with the rail 16 and thereby the spring or weight 14 can act fully on the headrest 9.
  • the head element 8 in the assembled state is the head element 8 with four elastic feet 18 on the frame 2 ' the housing 2 held.
  • the bed 1 has a very flat design, in spite of the flat design to accommodate functional elements in the housing 2, the larger Have dimensions, namely the vibratory drive 5 and the support rod 10 of the Headrest 9, the underside of the housing 2 is convexly curved at 2 ′′, specifically around an imaginary axis parallel to the longitudinal axis L.
  • a special feature of the bed 1 is that the housing or frame 2 at the end having the head element 8 with the aid of a carrier 19 on one Bearing 20 is provided pivotably, with the help of hinge pins 21 a horizontal axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L.
  • the bearing 20 is on one Building wall 22 held.
  • Axle provided with its upper end pivotable at its lower end has a roller 24.
  • a rod 25 is located between the feet 23 and the bearing 20 provided which is pivotable at one end on the bearing 20 and at the other end is pivotally attached to the feet 23, in each case about a horizontal, Axis running perpendicular to the longitudinal extent L.
  • the bearing 20 is in the illustrated embodiment using a guide rail 26 height adjustable attached to the building wall 22, so that by changing the Elevation of the bearing 20 a different inclination of the bed 1 is possible.
  • the handlebar or the rod 25 it is achieved that in any inclined position of the couch Feet 23 are arranged vertically or at least approximately vertically.
  • the foot part 28 consists of an inner element 29 and a outer element 30, which is guided on the inner element 29 adjustable in height.
  • the inner member 29 and the outer one Element 30 each have a substantially square outer cross section or Internal cross-section.
  • the outer element 30 forms the support for the patient's feet and is accordingly designed as a padded cushion on the outer surface.
  • a motorized, preferably electric drive 31 is a motorized one Height adjustment of the outer part 30 relative to the inner part 29 and thus opposite the lying surface 3 possible.
  • Adjustment drive 31 is in the embodiment shown as a low-voltage drive (e.g. 24 volts).
  • the lying surface 3 or its padding 3 is preferred heatable, namely by a 3 "built-in electric heater 33rd
  • drives can also be provided be, for example those that have multiple motors 6, each with one Have eccentric mass 7, the motors 6 then with the axes of their shafts are arranged in different spatial axes, e.g. in three vertically mutually extending spatial axes, of which e.g. two the level of Define vibrating plate 3 and is perpendicular to this plane.
