TABLE FOR SPINAL TREATMENTS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented N ov. 18, 1919.
Application filed March 17, 1919.l Serial No. 283,244.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES FABER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at New York city, Bronx county, State of New York, have Vinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Tables for Spinal Treatments, of which the following is a full, clear, and eXact description.
This invention relates to improvements in apparatus for the treatment of spinal diseases, the object being to provide a table or support having supplemental supports upon which the patient can be placed, said supplemental supports being adjustable relatively to each other and some of the supplemental supports being adjustable relatively to a horizontal plane whereby a patient can be placed in the proper position for treatment.
I will now describe my improvement in detail, the novel features of which will be pointed out in the appended claims.I reference being had to the drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a side elevation of a table made in accordance with my improvement;
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view, the section being taken on line 2-2 in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a similar view., the section being taken on a line 3--3 in Fig. 1; and
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary detail plan view of the center supplemental support.
As herein arranged my improvement consists of a frame member 5 having legs 6, said frame member (in this instance) being composed of strap metal formed into a holder or skeleton structure, and supplemental supports 7, 8 and 9 arranged to receive the patient to be treated. The end supports or body-rests 7 and 9 each consist of a frame member 10 pivotally secured to standards orcarriages 11 as at 12 which in turn are slidably supported by guide rails 13 suitably secured to the frame member 5 by brackets 14. The standards 11 include cross-braces 15 and 16, the braces 16 being provided with a threaded boss 17 to engage a threaded rotatable spindle 18 also carried by the frame 5, such for instance as by cross-frames 19. By rotating the spindle 18, the end rests 7 and 9 can be adjusted longitudinally of the table to cause them to be positioned with respect to the center rest 8, one of said rests (in this instance rest 9) being indicated by dotted lines Fig. 1, as positioned relatively close to the said center rest. The rests 7 and 9 are also tions, relative to a horizontal plane, I provide each of said frames with a semi-circular transverse support 20 carrying a rack 2'1 to be engaged by a stop or locking device consisting (in this instance) of a lever 22 pivoted at 221l to the cross frame 15 of the standards or carriages 11, said lever carrying a projection or tooth 23 to mesh with anyone of the spaces between the teeth of the rack 21. The locking device or lever 22 will maintain the frames 10 in any desired position either horizontal or angular. The lever 22 will be normally maintained in locking position by a spring 24. To adjust a frame 10, its lever 22 will be depressed at its outer end to cause the projection 23 thereon to clear the rack. While the lever 22 is in the position named, the frames 10 canbe adjusted, and after they have been adjusted the projection 23 on the lever will be caused to again engage the rack and lock the frame in adjusted position.
The center rest 8 consists of a frame 25 carried by vertically disposed posts 26 slidably supported by guides 27 carried by a cross brace 28 which in turn is carried by the main frame member 5. Each post 26 is surrounded by a spring 29 which yieldably supports the center rest. To prevent said center rest from being depressed by the weight of the patient or from any other cause, I provide a locking device consisting of a bar 30 pivoted intermediate its ends as at 31 to the cross-brace 28, said bar projecting at one end thereof, beyond the adjacent side of the frame 5. When the locking of the center rest is not desired or necessary the locking-bar will be positioned as indicated in Fig. 4, or clear of the posts 26. To lock the rest against depression the bar will be swung to cause it to assume a position under the posts 26, hence the rest cannot be depressed. Each rest 7, 8 and 9 is preferably provided with a cushion 32, and the threaded spindles 18 with operating handles 33. The patient to be treated is caused to lie upon the rests which will be adjusted to suit requirements, both longitudinally of the table and otherwise.
Having described my invention, what I claim is 1. In a table, the combination of a main support, a lrame-member, guide-rails carried thereby, carriages slidably mounted on said rails, body rest members pivotally connected to said carriages, a threaded spindle to adjust said carriages longitudinally of the guide rails, a circular rack connected to each rest, a locking element to engage each rack carried by each carriage, a vertically movable body-rest carried by said frame located intermediate the longitudinally movable body rests, springs to yieldably support the intermediate rest, and means to lock said intermediate rest against movement.
2. In a table, a plurality of slidably mounted carriages, means to adjust same, angularly adjustable body rests pivotally connected to said carriages, a transverse support carried by each body rest, a rack carried by each body rest, and a lever pivotally connected at one end thereof to eachvtransverse support arranged to engage the racks on said body-rests.
3. In a table, a plurality of slidably mounted carriages, means to adjust same, angularly adjustable body rests pivotally connected to said carriages, a transverse support carried by each body rest, a rack carried by each body rest, a lever pivotally connected at one end thereorl to each transverse support arranged to engage the racks on said body rests, springs to maintain the levers in engagement With said racks, and locking means to maintain the levers out of engagement with said racks.
Ll. In a table, a main su aport, a body rest yicldably supported there y, a post carried by the body rest, and a locking bar pivotally connected to said main support and arranged to be moved to a position under said post to lock same against vertical movement.
Signed at New York city, N. Y., this 15 day of March, 1919.
CHARLES FABER.
