Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a table with adjustable height, of the type used for massage, physiotherapy, aesthetic and similar treatments. More in particular, the invention relates to a table provided with pressing means adapted to assume appropriate positions in a programmable manner, for the treatment and stimulation of the muscle bands located along the spinal column.
  • a first treatment for these disorders can be carried out by physiotherapists or operators specialized in the field, who exert pressure on particular bony protrusions of the vertebrae or on appropriate muscle bands of the patient who is lying on a table.
  • the tables used for said treatments and massages substantially comprise a supporting frame and a soft and flexible mattress on which the subject to be treated lies.
  • the greatest difficulty for the operator is to position the instruments correctly, at the right distance from the spinal column and in symmetrical position with respect thereto, to treat the two muscle bands at the sides of the column homogeneously.
  • the intensity of the pressure exerted, with the same weight of the subject treated depends exclusively on the dimension of these elongated elements or of these spheres; to increase or decrease this intensity, instruments of various dimensions must be alternated, with the disadvantage of having to pay particular attention each time to their positioning along the spine.
  • the object of the invention is to produce a treatment table that internally integrates pressing means, and that these pressing means are movable according to suitable or predefined programs, to be positioned easily along the spinal column of the patient and exert the correct degree of pressure.
  • Another object of the invention is to produce a table that is reliable, comfortable, long-lasting, automated and programmable.
  • a treatment table provided with pressing means adapted to assume appropriate positions in a programmable manner, comprising:
  • said pressing means comprise a first and a second punch arranged symmetrically with respect to a vertical plane passing through a median longitudinal axis of said mattress.
  • said kinematic means for horizontal movement comprise:
  • said kinematic means for vertical movement comprise:
  • said mattress comprises:
  • said mattress further comprises a second layer of elastically yielding soft material arranged between said first layer of elastically yielding soft material and said board and also comprising at least one slot adapted to allow the passage of said pressing means.
  • the invention has numerous advantages.
  • the pressing means associated with the treatment table and movable with respect to the surface of the mattress on which the subject to be treated lies, so as to assume suitable and programmable positions, allows a precise stimulation in points of the area to be treated while the patient remains comfortably lying down.
  • the mechanized movement of the pressing means facilitates the work of the operator and allows precise programming of all the necessary movements.
  • the kinematic means for horizontal movement allows the pressing means to be moved along the spinal column of the subject, to reach the right point to be treated and if necessary vary the treatment position without the subject requiring to get up from the table.
  • the kinematic means for vertical movement allow the pressing means to selectively assume, and only when required, the active operating position on the subject, while remaining idle, i.e., under the flexible supporting surface, when not required by the treatment, without encumbering or causing discomfort or annoyance.
  • the control unit can manually or automatically manage all the movements and the times and also allow programming of the horizontal and vertical movements of the pressing means, to define specific and personalized treatments, without the operator always requiring to remain to hand and close to the subject during treatment.
  • the invention concerns a treatment table 1, of the type normally used for massage, physiotherapy, aesthetic treatments and for similar purposes.
  • Said table 1 essentially comprises a frame 2 and a mattress 3 having a flexible supporting surface 4 on which a subject S to be treated may comfortably lie.
  • said frame 2 comprises a lower half-frame 22 forming a base that rests on the ground and an upper half-frame 23 forming a support for the mattress 3.
  • Said table 1 comprises motorized lifting means of known type, such as telescoping columns 24, adapted to allow the movement of said upper half-frame 23 with respect to said lower half-frame 22, to facilitate lifting and lowering of the subject S being treated and to take the mattress 3 to the correct operating height for the operator.
  • motorized lifting means of known type, such as telescoping columns 24, adapted to allow the movement of said upper half-frame 23 with respect to said lower half-frame 22, to facilitate lifting and lowering of the subject S being treated and to take the mattress 3 to the correct operating height for the operator.
  • Said table 1 comprises pressing means P positioned on the opposite side of the flexible supporting surface 4 with respect to the body of the subject S to be treated. Therefore, said pressing means P are not in direct contact with the body of the subject S, but the flexible supporting surface 4 of the mattress 3 is always interposed.
  • said pressing means P comprise a first 5 and a second 6 punch arranged symmetrically with respect to a vertical plane ⁇ passing through a median longitudinal axis x of said mattress 3.
  • Each punch 5, 6 has a rod 5', 6' and a shaped head 5", 6".
  • Said head 5", 6" has a substantially hemispherical shape, but could assume different shapes, even of elongated type, according to needs.
  • Said table 1 further comprises:
  • Said pressing means P, 5, 6 are in fact movable with respect to the flexible supporting surface 4 of the mattress 3 and are adapted to selectively assume an active position or an idle position by means of said means for horizontal and vertical movement, so as to coact, or not, with the body of the subject S.
  • Said kinematic means for horizontal movement essentially comprise:
  • Said kinematic means for horizontal movement also comprise motor means 12 adapted to allow the screw-lead screw coupling 10, 11.
  • This screw-lead screw coupling 10, 11 allows the sliding of said slide 7 along said tracks 8, 9 and the consequent horizontal movement of said punches 5, 6 in the direction of the longitudinal axis x of the mattress 3.
  • Said kinematic means for vertical movement essentially comprise:
  • said "scissors" lifting system 13 also comprises a third 25 and a fourth 26 rod hinged and connected to each other by a central pin 27 arranged symmetrically to said first 14 and said second 15 rod with respect to the vertical plane ⁇ passing through the median longitudinal axis x of said mattress 3
  • Said third 25 and said fourth 26 rod also each comprise a first 25', 26' and a second 25", 26" end.
  • Said first 25 and said second 26 rod are respectively connected to said third 14 and said fourth 15 rod by cross members 28.
  • Said first ends 14', 15', 25', 26' of said first 14, second 15, third 25 and fourth 26 rod coact with said upper half-frame 23.
  • Said second ends 14", 15", 25", 26" of said first 14, second 15, third 25 and fourth 26 rod instead coact with said kinematic means for horizontal movement.
  • Said second ends 14", 25" of said first 14 and third 25 rod are slidingly associated with said tracks 8, 9 inside slots 30.
  • Said second ends 15", 26" of said second 15 and fourth 26 rod are hinged to said tracks 8, 9.
  • Said actuator 17 is of telescoping type, comprising a cylinder and a moving rod sliding inside the cylinder, and is arranged in a substantially horizontal manner.
  • Lifting or lowering of said tracks 8, 9 determines lifting or lowering of the slide 7 and of the pressing means P, 5, 6 associated therewith, so that these pressing means selectively assume, as stated above, an active position or an idle position to coact, or not, with the body of the subject S.
  • the telescoping actuator 17 is advantageously of electric type, with worm screw mechanism.
  • the invention is described and exemplified in an embodiment that provides a single actuator, but it is clear to those skilled in the art that it could be produced in the same way with more than one actuator acting in parallel on said first and second rod and on said third and fourth rod, or also with linear actuators of different type but substantially with the same use.
  • the movement and the operating time of the pressing means P can advantageously be programmed by means of said control unit.
  • Said mattress 3 comprises:
  • said board 18 and said second layer of elastically yielding soft material 21 comprise two slots 18', 18", 21', 21" parallel to each other, one for each punch 5, 6.
  • the length of said slots 18', 18", 21', 21" is correlated to the maximum horizontal movement of said pressing means 5, 6 along the spinal column of the subject S.
  • a protective film 29 is placed between said first 20 and said second 21 layer of elastically yielding material to better distribute the pressure of the punches 5, 6 in points of the first memory foam layer 20.
  • Said mattress 3 can be provided with electrical heating elements so that the treatment table 1 is also heated.
  • the subject is lying on the table 1 in contact with the flexible supporting surface 4 of its mattress 3 and the pressing means 5, 6 are in their idle position.
  • control unit By means of the control unit, the operator programs the movement of the pressing means 5, 6 as a function of the treatment to be carried out.
  • control unit firstly controls the motor means 12 of the kinematic means for horizontal movement to move the punches 5, 6 along median longitudinal axis x of the mattress 3 and consequently along the spinal column of the subject S being treated.
  • the punches 5, 6 After identifying the area of the spinal column to be treated, the punches 5, 6 must assume the active position to exert the right pressure in the point identified.
  • the control unit then controls the actuator 17 of the kinematic means for vertical movement that opens the "scissors" lifting system 13, pushing the punches 5, 6 upward, lifting the flexible supporting surface 4 of the mattress 3 in points.
