Until now, no folding table that was strong enough, comfortable and adjustable in height, allowed this type of work in good conditions for the patient and the practitioner.

Les deux demi-panneaux repliables (1) et (2) sont constitués de deux panneaux de contre-plaqué de B mm. d'épaisseur assemblés par charnière à piano (3), renforcés sur leur périphérie par des tasseaux (4) collés et cloutés de 40 mm. d'épaisseur, permettant à la table une fois repliée de çonstituer un cadre de hO mm. d'épaisseur recevant les pieds articulés. The two folding half-panels (1) and (2) are made up of two plywood panels of B mm. thick assembled by piano hinge (3), reinforced on their periphery by cleats (4) glued and studded 40 mm. thick, allowing the table, when folded, to form a hO mm frame. thick receiving the articulated feet.

Ces deux panneaux sont recouverts d'une mousse (5) d'une,densité étudiée pour être ni trop dure ni trop molle, assurant à la fois le confort et l'efficacité du massage. These two panels are covered with a foam (5) of a density studied to be neither too hard nor too soft, ensuring both the comfort and the effectiveness of the massage.

Cette mousse recouvre également les périphéries de la table évitant un contact désagréable avec l'arrente du bois. This foam also covers the peripheries of the table avoiding unpleasant contact with the arrival of the wood.

Le tout est recouvert d'un "SkaI11 résistant (6) assurant l'esthétique et le confort maximum de la table. The whole is covered with a resistant "SkaI11 (6) ensuring the aesthetics and maximum comfort of the table.

Les 4 pieds latéraux (10), solidaires deux à deux par un croisillon en métal léger (11), sont maintenus en position de travail grâce à 4 compas (12) à vérouillage automatique. The 4 lateral feet (10), joined two by two by a light metal spider (11), are held in the working position by 4 compasses (12) with automatic locking.

Chacun des 8 pieds est muni à son extremité inférieure d'un tube carré (13) de section plus petite, comportant 4 trous de réglage à intervalles réguliers de 30 mm. et traversés par une vis (14) bloquée par un papillon (15). Each of the 8 feet is provided at its lower end with a square tube (13) of smaller section, comprising 4 adjustment holes at regular intervals of 30 mm. and crossed by a screw (14) blocked by a butterfly (15).
