tieation.
The purpose of this invention is the provision of a table which may be elevated into vertical position and lowered into horizontal position so that the patient may bel properly positioned upon the table while erect and lowered into a horizontal posit-ion for sition sovas to leave the table Without producing any ill eiiects or an undoing of the good effects produced by the treatment.
It has been found that patients after Ieceiving chiropractic treatment by use of the ordinary table are not as a general rule bene- `fited because of the wrenehings and twistings of the body incident to rising from a horizontal table and to overcome this fea-l ture and to increase the percentage of beneficial results is the purpose of the present invention by providing a table having the adjustments hereinbefore mentioned, the invention also contemplating means whereby the speed of descent of the table may be regulated without requiring the operator to manipulate a crank or analogous controlling device.
he invention consists of the novel features, details ot' construction and combination of parts, which hereinafter will be more particularly set forth, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the appended ilaims.
Referring to the drawings, forming a part of the application, Figure 1 is a side View of a table for the use ofl chiropractors embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a front View of the table as it will appear when elevated. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line g/-g/ of Fig. 2. 'Fig 4 is a side view 4of the table as itappears when lowered into horizontal position, the stand being In vertical section. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section on the line 'ot' Fig. 4. Fig. G is a rear view of the stand, the table being omitted.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description, and indicated in all the views ot' the drawings,v bj.' the same reference characters.
The stand is indicated generally by the treatment andagain raised into upright po-' letter A and the table b the letter BL 4The table 4is mounted upon t 1e stand so as to be turned into upright or nearly vertical posi.- tion, as indicated in F ig. 1, or lowered into horizontal position, as indicated in Fig. 4r.4 The table comprises a head sectlon y1, a footy section 2, andan intermediate section 3. The head and toot sections are In the same plane, whereas the intermediate section 3 iSl depressed. The section l supports the head of the patientI and the sect-ion Q the lower portion, whereas the body portion of the patient extends over the depressed portion 3 and may be supported by means of a cushion 4 placed thereon and of any type. In
chiropractic treatment it is essential vthat-the body portion of the patient be free to move so that the best results may be obtained, hence the depression of the intermediate portion 3 of the table. the patient require to be supported a cushion- -t of proper thickness may be placed upon the part 3. Thehead and foot sections of the table areupholstered in any manner and maybe relatively' adjustable to adapt the intermediate space to the height of the patient so that the upper and lower portions of the-person may be properly supported.
In the preferable construction t-he upholstered portion of the head section lis fixed, whereas the upholsteredportion of the foot section-is adjustable, as indicated by the dotted' lines in Fig. 4. 'The table may be of any construction and comprises longitudinal bars of metal and an intermediate connecting piece. A foot rest 6 of any construction is located at the lower end of the section '2 and the patient steps thereon and is supported thereby during the vertical movements ot' the table. A leg' section 7 is pivoted to the table and when the latter is elevated oecupies a vertical position and when the table is lowered the leg section assumes a pendent position, as indicated in'Fig. 4, so as to act jointly with the stand A to support the table'.
The stand A is of any substantial construction and comprises a base 8 and side pieces 9 rising vertically therefrom. The side pieces t) may be connected in any luanncr. A rod l0 connects the upper forward corner port-ions of thev side pieces il and forms a support upon which the table turns, the latter being mounted thereon in any .substantial way. A plate 11 is secured to the table and comprises a Vpendent portion Should the body of y v through pivotallyjsupport and connect the table with the stand. -A toothed segment 12 is secured.
vwhich the rod-passes so as to to the under side of the table B and is' arranged with its toothed portion concentric Withthe` rod 10'.- Shafts v13 and 14 vare mounted in the sidepieces 9- of the stand.
. The shaft 13 has an operating crank'15 at '-one end and a pinion 16 fast to its opposite 1'0 p ortion'. A gear Wheel 17 fastenedto the shaft 14 ,meshes with 'fion' 18 secured to theshaft 14 meshes with the teeth- Of the segment 12. Upon operati. ing the crank lthe shaft 14 is turned and servesin conjunction with the pinion 18 andt toothed se ent table B. ion 18A are centrally 'the strain upon the table.
12 to' raise or lower the he'toothed segment 12 and pinlocated yso as .to equalize A brake Wheel 19 is fastened to the shaft '14' and a brake shoe 20 isarranged to engage therewith and .i'spadapted to be operated .by means of a oot lever 21. Theweight. of the table combined with the weight of the patient thereon is usually suicient to'lower the table from an uprighty into-a horizontal-position and in orderthatzth table may not`move too rapidly the speed ay be regulated by pressure of the-v foot of-fthevoperator vupon the lever .21. i
