Abstract:
A chiropractic table which comprises:(a) a base having a longitudinal axis; (b) a plurality of frames attached to the base, each frame having: (i) a first lateral side which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis; (ii) a second lateral side which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis; (iii) a pair of transverse sides which are substantially perpendicular to the first and second lateral sides; and (iv) a frame hole in each of the lateral sides; wherein the frame holes in the first lateral side of each frame are substantially identically located with respect to the transverse sides associated therewith and the frames hole in the second lateral side of each frame are substantially identically located with respect to the transverse sides associated therewith; (c) a plurality of cushions, each of which is adapted to be received by a frame; (d) a plurality of fasteners; and (e) a plurality of drop mechanisms, each of which has: (i) a housing which is adapted to be removably received within any of the frames for attachment to the lateral sides thereof, said housing having a pair of mounting holes, each of which is adapted to align with a frame hole in the lateral side of a frame when the drop mechanism is received therein so that a fastener may be passed through the mounting hole and the frame hole from outside the frame to attach the drop mechanism to the frame; (ii) a drop handle pivotally connected thereto and adapted for actuating the drop mechanism, said drop handle being positioned away from the frame when the drop mechanism is mounted therein; (iii) a tension rod that is adapted for adjusting the drop mechanism, said tension rod being positioned away from the frame when the drop mechanism is mounted therein.
