Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 26, 11915.
Application filed Ju as, 1914. Serial mi. 853,591;
the construction and adaptation of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described.
The invention is designed to provide means for the suspension and immobilization of the trunk and extremities of a patient without lifting or disturbing the patient and afford a reliable support and traction of the limbs in the treatment of fracture.
In the drawings, in which there is illustrated a preferred form of table embodying the invention, Figure 1 is a vertical central section andpartial elevation showing the main frame of a table 10 composed of tubuparts of the table in normal position; Fig. 2 is a top plan view, the parts beneath the upper surface being shown in dotted outline; and Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional detail showing the body section of thetable in its lowermost position.
In the drawings there is illustrated the lar members and supported upon casters 11 in the usual manner.
Extending upwardly from the table framework is a )erineal post 13 vertically adustable in a socket indicated at 14- and which socket is provided with a laterally extending pelvic support 15.
At the upper end of the perineal post there are provided two laterally extending suspension bars 16 from which there is adapted to be suspended the usual legiholding straps indicated at 17.
Pivoted on the post 13 or at any other suitable place in the framework are two slidably mounted a sub-frame 19 carrying a foot-piece 20 adapted ,to be moved to and fro with respect to the subframe by means of a hand-wheel 21 moving on a threaded- .bar 22. This footpieoe and the method of moving it constitute no part of any invention and are usual to the'art. Y
- Arranged above the table as described is a.
top or upper plate adapted normally to support the body of a patient laid thereon, and which top comprises two sections, namely, a head and back section 23 supported upon upright members 24 provided with rollers indicated at 25 adapted to engage a pair of the upper rails of the table frame so that such head and back section may be moved longitudinally of the frame. This head and back section is provided with an extension leaf indicated at 26' and held in position by a hinged bracket 27 in a manner common to the art.
The other section of the table top is'a body section indicated at 28 and which is supported upon two links 29, each hinged to the frame of the table. In front of this body section and at its foot end there is arranged a handle indicated at 30 whereby the section may be moved longitudinally. A
look bar indicated at 31 and which depends by gravity from the lower surface of the body section is notched as indicated. at 32 and when the table top is in its uppermost position as shown in Fig. 1 this notch engages one of the crossbars of the table frame and serves to lock the body section in position.
As mentioned above, the purpose of the invention is to provide for the suspension and immobilization of the trunk and extremities without lifting or disturbing the patient and at the same time to provide a reliable support for the limbs. When the body section is not to be displaced the patient is laid upon the table in the usual manner, his head resting upon the'extension leaf, his back upon the part 23, the pelvis upon the pelvic support 15 and the upper part of the legs within the flexible supports 17, a foot being placed against each footiece and traction upon the lower limbs be- .ing secured bymeans of the rotation of the hand-wheel 21. Now if in such case it is desired to bandage or operate upon the limbs of the patient or, subject them to any desired treatment, the body section is lowered by means of the handle 30 and this leaves the trunk of the patient adequately supported by the parts- 26, 23 and 15 and the legs -.by
the flexible parts 17 and foot-piece 20, but
permits of access to the lower part of the of the patient is prevented.
limbs while at. the same time any movement port for the arms as well as the legs'of the patient.
It is obvious that a table of this character having a body section adapted to be raised andlowered may be used for a variety of purposes which would readily occur to a medical man.
I claim:
1. An orthopedic and fracture table comprising a lower framework and an upper body support in two sections, one being longitudinally and the. other vertically adjustable, in combination with means for supporting the legs of the patient when the body section is removed from beneath the same, including a vertically arranged post, brackets secured thereto and bands or the like depending therefrom.
2. An orthopedic and fracture table comprising a lower framework and an upper body support in two sections, one section constituting a head and back support for the patient, the other section arranged to support the hips and legs of the patient, a portion of the former section overlappin a portion of the latter section, connections between the framework and the sections constructed for longitudinal and vertical adjustment of the sections with respect to each other, in combination with independent means for supporting the hips of the patient when one of the sections is removed.
3. An orthopedic and fracture table comprising a lower framework and an upper body support in two sections, one of the sections constituting a head. and back support arranged to overlap a portion'of the other section, the former section being longitudinally movable and the lattersection hav-- ing meanswhereby it may be vertically ad-' justed through a swinging movementiwith res ect tothe first mentioned section, and a hip support mounted on a post secured to the lower framework, said post extending above the vertically movable section.
4. An orthopedic and fracture table comprising a lower framework and an upper ody support in two sections, one section constituting a head and back support, said section being longitudinally movable 1 over a portionof the other section, the latter section having means whereby it may be vertically adjusted through a swinging movement with respect to the firstmentioned section, in combination with means for supporting the hips of the patient when the J tion, in combination with separate means for supporting the hips and legs of the patient when the vertically movable section is removed from beneath the latter, including a vertically arranged post. secured to the lower framework, a hip s pport mounted thereon, brackets carried by the post and bands suspended from the brackets forsupporting the legs of the patient.
6. An orthopedic and fracture table comprising a lower framework and an upper body support in two (sections, one of said sections constituting head and back support for the patient, aid section arranged for longitudinal movement over a portion of the other section, the latter section having means whereby it may be vertically adjusted through a swinging movement with respect to the first mentioned section, in combination with means for supporting the hips and legs of the patient when the vertically movable section is removed from beneath the latter, including a vertically arranged post, a hip support mounted thereon, brackets carried by the post, bands suspended from the brackets, for supporting the legs of the patient and traction bars carried by the post as specified and for the ur ose set forth.
