The invention consists in an attachment to a rocking-chair, whereby manipulating-pads are pressed upon the stomach or bowels automatically by the rocking motion of the chair.
It further consists in providing the pads with springs, so that the face of the pad yields to the shape of the body, and a rigid pressure is avoided.
It further consists in providing the pads with a receptacle in which water or medicaments may be held.
In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts, my invention is illustrated.
Figure 1 represents a chair with abdominal appliance attached. Fig. 2 represents walkingbeam a, foot I), stud e, sleeve m, and set-screw c. Fig. 3 represents cross-bar g, movable sock ets h, and set-screws i and c. Fig. 4 represents manipulatingpads f, arm j, and spring 7c.
I attach a stud or fulcrum upon each side of the seat of the chair, or upon a part near the seat. 1 place upon these studs walking- On one end of the walking-beam is beams.
a hinged joint, from which descends a foot or leg, which passes through a guide, and bears upon the floor or upon the standard, upon which a rocker may rest. The other end of the walking-beam is provided with a socket or sleeve. These sleeves receive a standard for a cross-bar, which' spans from one side of the chair to the other. The cross-bar is provided with adjustable fingers, which adjust its elevation, and it is held in its place by setscrews in the socket or sleeve of the walkingbea-m standard.
The cross-bar is provided-with movable sockets and set-screws, by which the pads are given adjustment for the size of the body to be manipulated.
The walking-beam I make of cast metal. The cross-bar may be constructed of iron rods or iron pipes. The manipulating-pads I make of hollow sheet metal, and in them I provide an opening through which to charge the receptacle. I make the springs of any suitable flexible material, preferably spiral coil of wire, wound open, as seen in the drawings.
I claim 1. In a device for movement cure, the walking-beam a, attached to the side of a chair, in combination with foot I), cross-bar 9. arms j, and pads f, as and for the purposes described.
2. In a device for movement cure, the hollow manipulating-pads f, provided with flexible springs, as and for the purposes described.
