Definitions
- the invention relates to a massage table with a frame and a lying surface provided on the frame, which forms a leg rest adjoining a fuselage support from two support parts.
- leg rests which can be adjusted in length to the respective user, are pivoted via an actuating cylinder which can be actuated with the aid of a hand lever, so that the user can choose the extent of the spread for the leg rest himself via the hand lever.
- actuating cylinder which can be actuated with the aid of a hand lever, so that the user can choose the extent of the spread for the leg rest himself via the hand lever.
- a massage table (FR 2 203 277 A) to form the leg rest adjoining a fuselage support from two support parts for one leg each and to articulate these support parts about a horizontal " axis on the trunk support so that the two support parts together or can be pivoted independently of each other in height, but access to the patient remains limited despite the pivotable support parts for the legs.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of designing a massage table with simple constructive means such that the accessibility to a patient to be treated can be considerably improved without having to accept an impairment of the patient's body support.
- the invention achieves the object in that the two lateral support parts enclose a U-shaped free space that can be entered from the foot side.
- the treating masseur can step into the space between the side support parts of the leg rest from the foot side, in particular the trunk areas of the patient to be treated become accessible in the longitudinal direction of the massage table, so that advantageous space is created for the treatment of these trunk areas.
- the section of the trunk support connecting the two lateral support parts can have a recess which is open to the free space in a manner known per se.
- this space can be bridged by at least one insert between the side support parts, which creates conditions comparable to conventional massage tables.
- the insert in the inner longitudinal edge region of a support part can be pivotally mounted about an axis parallel to the longitudinal edge, so that the insert remains connected to the massage table even when the insert is not required.
- the torso support of the lying surface can be articulated to better support the patient.
- the fuselage support forming the swivel-adjustable head or back section between the two support parts, because in this case the extended support parts advantageously result in armrests that are offset from the fuselage support
- the support parts of the leg support attached to the side of the fuselage support also offer the easy option of shortening the massage table by the length of these support parts if these support parts are not rigidly connected to the fuselage support.
- the side support parts can form separate components from the fuselage support which can be pulled out or swung out in the frame or the fuselage support or attached to the fuselage support.
- Such a construction also offers the possibility of using the massage table for other purposes or of converting a table into a massage table
- Fig. 1 a massage table according to the invention in a partially torn
- FIG. 2 shows this massage table in a top view
- FIG. 3 shows a construction variant of a massage table according to the invention in a simplified side view
- FIG. 4 shows the massage table according to FIG. 3 in a top view
- the massage table according to FIGS. 1 and 2 has a frame 1 with an essentially U-shaped frame 2, which is provided with legs 3.
- the frame 2 carries a trunk support 4 with an adjoining leg support 5 to form a lying surface provided with a pivotally adjustable back part 6 and a head part 7 articulated thereon.
- the leg rest 5 consists of two lateral rest parts 8, which enclose a U-shaped space 9 that can be entered from the foot side, as is particularly indicated in FIG. 2 therefore in this space 9 between the slightly spread legs of one resting on the massage table Patients kick, which enables advantageous accessibility, in particular to the patient's trunk areas. Certain treatments for the patient can thus be carried out in a simple manner from the longitudinal center of the massage table, specifically with an ergonomically favorable posture of the massage therapist.
- the accessibility to the patient's body can additionally be improved in that the section 10 of the fuselage support 4 connecting the two lateral support parts 8 forms a recess 11 which is open towards the free space 9.
- the free space 9 can be bridged by at least one insert 12.
- This insert 12 can advantageously be articulated in the region of the inner longitudinal edge of one of the two support parts 8, so that it can be swiveled out of the use position indicated by the broken line in FIG. 2 into a swiveled-out rest position according to FIG. 1.
- the massage table according to FIGS. 3 and 4 differs from the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 essentially in that the support parts 8 of the leg rest 4 form separate components from the rest of the massage table and, if necessary, are attached to the table forming a closed table surface can. Accordingly, the frame 1 is limited to the area of the trunk support 5, so that the massage table can be used for other purposes without the leg support 4. To attach the support parts 8 of the leg support 4, they can be inserted into guides 13 of the frame 2 via plug-in lugs 14 according to the construction indicated, the necessary stability of the massage table being supported by support legs 15 at the foot end of the support parts 8. - 5 -
- these support legs 15 can be pivoted in against the support parts 8 in order to obtain a small overall height for the support of the support parts 8.
- This storage can be in a drawer 16 on the underside of the frame 2 done
- support parts 8 which are guided in a slowly displaceable manner or support parts 8 which can be pivoted out on the frame 2 can also be provided in the frame 2, because in this case the only thing that matters is that a table unit limited to the fuselage support 5 is combined by the support parts 8 To supplement the massage table according to the invention, which offers a space 9 for the masseur between the support parts 8 of the leg support 4
