Abstract: Reclining radiographic wall table assembly including a wall mounted rack, a wheeled bed table having floor engaging wheels mounted at one end of the table and a rack engaging member at the other for engaging the wall mounted rack, and a control mechanism providing control of the positioning of the table so that it is selectively oriented either horizontally, vertically, or in a semi-reclining position intermediate the first two positions. The table is also provided with an ankle holding attachment mounted on the surface of the table near the rack engaging member for securing a patient onto the table when the table is in an inclined or vertical position, the patient then being inverted while being X-rayed for determining an amount of the scoliotic bend capable of being attributed to the gravitational pull upon the patient were the patient standing in an essentially upright position.

Abstract: A chiropractic examination table having a cushioned headpiece, pelvic piece or member hingedly connected and supported by a chiropractic table apparatus, the table apparatus having a solenoid or compressed air piston mounted end table, a movable core of the solenoid or compressed air piston being displaced abruptly, in a sudden and rapid manner upward upon energization of the solenoid or compressed air piston for a momentary period of time during which the separate member is abruptly raised a controlled distance for treating the patient under chiropractic examination, and after the momentary period of time, the member returns to its initial rest position, thus completing the chiropractic adjustment and treatment. The table may have one or more separate headpieces, pelvic pieces or members each of which or both being selectively actuated for the upward abrupt thrust actuation and treatment of the chiropractic patient.
