body. to whichthe nerves lead, which will continue until the vertebrae are put back into their proper places. i j I Heretofore, this has been done-by chiropractic treatments. The doctor places his 7 fingers upon opposite sides of the spinal column at intervals along itslength and by pressing on the vertebrae, any that may be dislocated are pushed back into their proper positions. 7 p The object of this invention is to accom-.
plish this treatment at home and without the necessity of treatment being given by a chiropractor.
The invention'is adapted to allow the patient to receive the treatment byhis' own efforts and, being of a simple nature, is like wise relatively inexpensive and may be ad- 1 justedaccording to theheight of the person using the same and also to properly correspond with the position of the patients spine.
In the accompanying drawings:

The invention may be constructed of any kind of metal but in order to simplify its construction it is preferably made of some sheet metal and, as shownin' Figs. 2 and 3, the sheet material is bent into an approxi A mately V-shape body portion 1, which may be of a desired length of approximately eighteen inches. The apex 2 is smooth and properly rounded OK to engage the back of the patient on-opposite sides of the spinal column, as shown in Fig. 2. The sides of' complish the desired adjustment.
the body portion 1' terminate. in approxi- 'mately'L-shaped fianges 3, which are adapt- I ed to embrace the opposite edges of asuitable support 4, as for-instance a door frame or casing, asfshown in'Fig. 1, where they are clamped by means of the bolts 5 which extend through the slots 6 in the opposite sides of the bodyportion 1, these bolts being provided with wing nuts! for tightening the adjuster on thesupport or casing. '60,
In using the ad 'us ter,-it is regulated to the proper height on its support, which, as stated, above, may be a door frame or casing, and
I is clamped in such position by the bolts 5 The patient may thus press his back against the edge 2 of the adjuster sothat said edge engages'on either side of the spinal column, and by exerting pressure against the edge 2 it may bedetermined at what point there is any pain, which may indicate that any of the 7b vertebrae are out of their proper and normal positions. i
- By exerting a greater pressureon the edge of the adjuster at such points, the vertebrae 'may besnapped back into their proper posi 7:5.
tions to relieve the pain and also the pressure onthenerves entering the spinal column at such point. The adjusting of the invention on-a door casing or frame allows the patient to press himself against the opposite 301 7 side thereof for exerting proper and required pressure against the vertebrae, in order to ac- Theinvention is extremely simple and enables the patient to easily adjust it in proper position for giving himself a chiropractic treatment or adjustment, and in this way allows for the self'administrationrof chiro .practic treatmentswhenever pains may exist at different parts of thebody and for the relief thereof. a
I claimt 1. As a new article of manufacture, a verv tebrae adjuster formed of a strip of material 575 bent into approximately V-shape with an elongated apex for engaging the vertebrae of the human spine, flanges formed at the sides of said adjuster for engaging a support,- and adjustable means connected with the adjuster H10 for adjustably clamping the flanges in their supported position. v
2. A vertebrae adjuster comprising a strip of material approximately V-shape in form with an elongated apex for engaging the vertebrae of the human spine, and means for holding said adjuster in proper position.
3. A vertebrae adjuster comprising a strip of material approximately V-shape inform with an elongated edge for engaging the Vertebrae of the human spine, the sides of said V-shaped portion forming clamping means, and adjusting means therefor.
4. A vertebrae adjuster comprising a strip of material provided with an elongated edge for engaging the vertebrae of the human spine, the sides thereof having clamping means connected therewith. 1
5. A vertebrae adjuster comprising a strip of material bent to form an elongated edge for engaging the vertebrae of the human spine, the sides thereof terminating in clamping flanges, and means for adjustably clamping the flanges in a supported position.
In testimony whereof I afilx my signature.
