Abstract: An improved collapsible, foldable table including at least two table top sections, at least one hinge connecting the table top sections, a plurality of table legs rotatably attached to the table top sections, and a set up and rigidifying mechanism including a pair of braces, a truss member that extends from at least one of the at least two table top sections, and a central cable adapted to cause the outswinging of the plurality of table legs into an operative position when the table top sections are unfolded. Each brace includes a v-brace member, a central brace member, and a pivoting member for pivotally connecting the v-brace member to the central brace member. Preferably, the central cable extends between pivoting members of the pair of braces, a midportion of the central cable being attached to an end of the truss member.

Abstract: An improved collapsible folding massage table with four folding leg assemblies having improved folding and stabilizing features which eliminates a second cross brace wherein the leg assemblies include a folding leg brace and an elongated strut with a slot that slidingly receives a pivot pin on the folding leg brace. The table also includes a pair of cables interconnecting pivot pins of the leg braces on the opposing side of the table thereby facilitating unfolding of the table while preventing the table legs from folding when the table is in use. The collapsible foldable table also includes stabilized leg blocks to which the elongated struts are pivotally attached and horizontally offset from the pivot pin of the corresponding table leg also attached to the leg block. Furthermore, the collapsible foldable table also includes integral hinges that hingedly attaches two table top sections and also include provisions for attaching members of the folding leg braces.
Abstract: A unitary, portable, foldable and adjustable therapy chair on which a patient is seated. The chair includes a frame having two pivotal members which move in a scissor-like manner. Attached to the frame are a seat, a chest support, an arm support, a face support and a pair of leg supports. The chair is adjustable from a collapsed position to a plurality of erect positions. The frame may be secured in a desired use position. When the chair is adjusted, the seat, the chest support, the arm support and the leg supports move with respect to one another.
Abstract: An adjustable headrest whose height and angle may be selectively adjusted. The selected height may be adjusted by the use of a cam clamp that requires the use of only one hand to operate. The selected angle may be adjusted by the use of a cam clamp that also requires the use of only one hand to operate.
