Patent ID: 7297124

Claim:
A device comprising: (a) a base having a top, a bottom, a front, a diametric axis, and sides; (b) a projection of the base having a top, a bottom, a right side, and a left side, attached by said bottom to the top of the base close to the front of the top of the base; (c) a curved barrier having a top, a bottom, a front end, and an aperture at said front end, attached by said bottom to the top of the base, said curved barrier having the projection within said aperture, so that the right and left sides of the projection are in contact with the barrier; (d) a power source located within the base; (e) a motor located within the base and connected to the power source; (f) a control system capable of controlling the motor; (g) a left compression rod, having a long axis, short axis, and any cross-sectional shape mounted on top of the base to the left of the diametric axis of said base, in the area enclosed by the barrier and oriented so that the long axis of said rod is parallel with the diametric axis of the base, said left compression rod coupled to the motor; (h) a right compression rod, having a long axis, short axis, and any cross-sectional shape mounted on top of the base to the right of the diametric axis of said base, in the area enclosed by the barrier and oriented so that the long axis of said rod is parallel with the diametric axis of the base, said right compression rod coupled to the motor; wherein, when the motor is activated, the left and right compression rods are drawn together to compress either side of the occipital bone for automatically performing CV4 technique.
