Percussive adjusting instrument

A percussive adjusting instrument comprising:

• a percussive instrument head that includes a percussive instrument stylus extending from the instrument head;
• a table that is configured to support a patient;
• wherein the percussive instrument head movable relative to the table about X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis of a Cartesian coordinate system;
• a Z-axis bracket which supports the percussive instrument head to allow selective movement about the Z-axis;
• a traversing arm that couples to the Z-axis bracket;
• a vertical lift arm assembly that includes:
• a vertical ram arm that supports the traversing arm;
• a traversing bracket that holds the traversing arm to the vertical ram arm and allows selective movement of the traversing arm with respect to the vertical ram arm;
• an instrument lift actuator coupled to the vertical ram arm to move the vertical ram arm in vertical directions;
• a Y-axis pivot assembly that allows movement of the vertical lift arm assembly and the instrument head about the Y-axis;
• wherein the Y-axis pivot assembly includes:
• a central gear;
• at least one Y-axis pivot control knob connected to the central gear;
• wherein rotation of the at least one Y-axis pivot control knob rotates the central gear;
• a pivot gear located on the vertical ram arm;
• wherein rotation of the at least one Y-axis pivot control knob rotates the central gear which engages the pivot gear which moves the vertical lift arm assembly about the Y-axis;
• a Y-axis pivot lift actuator that selectively moves the Y-axis pivot assembly to move the vertical lift arm assembly and the instrument head in vertical directions;
• a headpiece that is movable with respect to the table;
• and
• a connecting arm attached to the Y-axis pivot assembly and movably attached to the table.
