,, SsPECIFlCATION forming part of Letters Pat's No. 712,375, dated octets 28, 19021 1 Application filed December i7,1901.1 Serial No. 86,302. (IlomodelJ,
To ctZZ whom it ntayconocrn:
Be it known that LISAAQ JAMES HARTFORD, a citizen .of the United States, residing at Bloomington, in the county of McLean and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Humair'lreatment Apparatus, of which the followingis a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in human-treatment apparatus.
It refers particularly to an apparatus to be used in the treatment of all human diseases that may be influenced by manipulation and treatment of the spinal column and the nerves and muscles along the same and the spinal cord contained therein, the object being the provision of a novel construction to be placed at any desired point along the spinal column whereby ribs and vertebrae may be adjusted and nerves and their centers along the spinal column may be either stimulated or inhibited and the lungs and thorax developed by certain positions of the apparatus and certain To attain the desired objects myinvention' consists of an apparatus for the treatment of human ailments embodying novel features of construction substantially as disclosed herein.
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my apparatus adjusted and complete and in position for use. Fig. 2 represents a vertical transverse sectional view. Fig. 3 represents a perspective, view of the base which carries the adjustable uprights, and Fig. 4 represents a perspective view of one of said uprights. Fig.5 represents a perspective view of the wedge-shaped support used in adjusting the incline of the apparatus. Fig. 6 represents a perspective view of a modified form of my apparatus, and Fig. 7 is a detail view of an adjusting-strip. Fig. 8 is an end view of modified construction.
My novel apparat us is preferably supported upon a table and is composed of the wedge shaped or inclined support A, which adjusts the incline of the apparatus to conform to the curves of the spinal column of the patient under treatment. Upon this support rests support or base B, provided with a series of transverse slots or openingsC,preferably four in number, arranged two at each end of the support or base, and passing through the slots found desirable and necessary.
In use the patient rests upon the supports or uprights, which are adjusted to bear properly against the patientwith reference to the spinal column. It will be seen that when the apparatus is placed at some point along the spinal column, the supportsbeing adjusted with reference to the needs of the patient, whether that be to adjust the vertebrae or ribs or inhibit or stimulate a certain chain of nerves or affect some nerve center or certain nerves or relax certain contract-ions in m uscles, the object may be obtained by the intelligent direction of either the patient or operator, thus influencing the action and forces of vital organs and vital fluids of the human body to the extent of removing the cause or to the relief of the ailment being treated; also, that by adj ustmentof the ribs and spinal vertebrae the lung capacity may be developed and enlarged, the thorax adjusted, thereby enhancing the more complete oxidation of the blood, resulting in consequent strength and vitality to the patient under treatment, and generally my apparatus will prove of great benefit in the treatment of human ailments, as herein described.
It will be understood that my apparatus is placed upon a suitable table or platform, and the inclined base givesthe proper incline to cause the patient under treatment to rest properly, with the head at the required elevation and the body upon the uprights, which are adjusted to bear upon the portion of the anatomy under treatment, and the patient is then in the best position to be manipulated upon by the attendant.
I claim 1. An apparatus for treating the human body, consisting of an inclined support, a base resting thereon, a series of adjustingscrews in the base, and walls engaged by said screws and adjust-able with reference to said base to bear upon the portion of the body under treatment.
2. An apparatus for human treatment, consisting of a base suitably supported, longitudinally-arranged uprights on said base, and devices for adjusting said uprights transversely of the base.
3. An apparatus for human treatment, consisting of a base having a series of transverse slots, uprights arranged longitudinally on said base, and adjusting-screws arranged in the slots and engaging the uprights to adjust said'uprights laterally on said base.
4:. An apparatus for treating the human body, composed of a wedge-shaped base-support, a base resting thereon and uprights mounted on said base and adapted to bear against that portion of the spinal column being treated, said uprights being adjustable on the base.
5. An apparatus for treating the human body, composed of the base-supports, the base thereon having the transverse slots, the adjusting-screws arranged in said slots, the uprights receiving said screws capable of being adjusted on said base and the adj usting-strips for adjusting the heights of said uprights.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ISAAC JAMES HARTFORD.
