T10-all whom t 'may concern:
Be it known that I, GnoRGEC. '.IArLIN, a citizen of the United States., residing at Brookline, in the county `of Norfolk andl This invention relates to operatingtables:` used by Osteopaths, and other practitioners,
who exert pressure in` various 'directions on the recumbent body'of a patient, the body usually lying on a cushionedhorizontal operating table. ;'k 'Y Y Letters Patent of the lUnited' States granted to me December 6, 1921, No. l1,399,- 6345, Ydiscloses an operating table having means for exerting pressure in various direc-- tions and in various locations on the patientsv body, and enabling theoperatorY to utilize foot-powenj-as Well asy manual ertin'g suchpressure y 'Thepresent invention has for its object to provide improved lmeanswvlieieby the operator isenabled to more conveniently, effec# tively and advantageously apply pressure to the'patients body-than'heretofore. i The invention is lembodied in the improvementswhich I will-nou7 proceed to describe and'claim. Y
A Of the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification,-
Figure', 1 shows in transversesection an,
operating table, and in side elevation', apressure-applying attachment embodying themvention, as 1t appears when inv operation.
Figure 2`is a perspective viewof the an choring 1pulley,'and the means for securing the same to the table, shown 1in sectiony by Figurel. `v
Figure 3 is 'a fragmentary 'side' view ofa portionof the bar-"and strap shown by Figure 1,.showing a different 'way Ofutilizi'ng the strap.
Figure 4 Figure 1. v y
" Figure "5 is afragmentaryside View, showing portions of thebar,'pad and strap shown by Figure 1, and a link' connecting the vstrap with the bar.I v f A Y' Figure 6 is la fragmentary perspective view, showing thel and laportionVof the strap. n
The same characters indicate the same parts in'all of the figures.
power, '11n exlis a section on line''f-#f'rofvThe operatingtable shown `byl Figure 1,'1 may be of any suitable construction, and may include -a 4 flexible body support 12,
formed by thetop of a pneumatic'-n1attressv f 60 and a frame including a fixed bottom 13, supporting the mattress, curb members *141,*-v contining `the mattress against,` horizontal displacement, and cushioned members" 15' secured to the curbmembers all'asshown in i i Y.' ,-,6'5 My improved f pressure-applying :attach`` n my above-mentioned patent.
ment includes an elongatedbar 17j, having pulleys 18 and 19 atits vopposite end por-` ends. One end ofa strap 21 is connectedfas;` by afscrew 22 with the b ar 17, atfa point near the inner pulley 18.1- From' the#connectedV i' end the strap 21 extends partlyaround `the pulley 19, from by Figure 1. y
` 23 represents lanfanchoring which it depends, 'asl pulley f i vided withy securing means engageable with alixtureon they table frame.l A portion' of the' strap between the 'connectedendand the* inner fbar pulley #18is engaged withjthe.

There may be two `x'tures'28, one
at each side ofthe table, vasishown by lFigure pad 2Ov bears on `a body 29oron` ythe iopera-gv torsy hand 30,'applied to the b'ody, as shownl 41. The arrangementis such. thatwhenjthey by Figure'l, andthe confiningA armg26-is engaged 'with the anchoring pulley lis adapted vto-s'wing freely inthe directions re?. y,
vments kof the bar '17. `Saidy bightds also quired to permit horizontal endwisre'move adapted to be'lengthened, asindicatedby dotted lines in' ilcigureV 1, t'opermit gvario'us inclinationsof the bar. The'bar 'may,"there-v fore, beheld in posit-ion to'floc'ate the -pad 20 engaged with the fixture, 28, the strap bight f. A'
being free at the outer end of the bar, the said pad being formed as a collar surrounding a portion of the .bar and strap. j
4. An operating-table attachment substantially as specified by claim l, the said anchoring pulley-securing means being embodied in a base plate having upstanding` constituting the weight and power arms of a lever of the second class, and provided with guiding means, a pad mounted on the bar at the junction of said arms, a ulcrum member, means unyieldingly connecting said member with the table frame, and an elongated iiexible lever extensionv connected at one end with the weight arm, and including a bi'ght- `forming portion engagingA said Jfulcrum member, a running portion guided by said guiding means, and a free end portion'A at the outer end of the power arm, the said pad con-` stituting a weight point, adapted to be located over said yielding support and to be depressed by downward pressure on the power arm. l
6. An operatin -table .attachment substantially as lspeci ed vby claim l, the strap f being connected with the barby a U-shapedl link having a straight neck on which -the strap bears, and arms provided with trun* 1.
nionsengaged with the barbetween the top and bottom sides thereof.
In testimony whereof I have aiiX-ed signature.
