Abstract
In general, the disclosure recites an apparatus having a kick plate that is adapted to be stored in an operable position where it is in a substantially vertically orientated manner where the kick plate is in a more vertically orientated or positioned orientation with respect to a frame and a carriage is movably attached in a substantially horizontal direction where a resistance system provides resistant movement of the carriage with respect to the frame. The kick plate is further adapted or operatively configured to be re-orientated in a stowed position where an upper surface of the kick plate operates in conjunction with an upper surface of the carriage to function as a table like support.
Claims9
A height adjustable combination exercise, therapy table for an individual comprising:
- a. a frame comprising a plurality of rails adjacent the upper edge of the frame, the frame having a head end and a foot end,
- b. a user supporting carriage movably coupled to the frame and operatively configured to allow longitudinal movement of the carriage upon the rails, relative to the frame;
- c. a plurality of elastic members coupled between the frame and the carriage and operatively configured to bias the carriage toward the foot end of the frame,
- d. the carriage having a substantially planar upper surface;
- e. a kickboard mounted to the frame;
- f. the kickboard having a substantially vertical surface;
- g. a first leg extending below the frame and operatively configured to adjust the elevation of a first longitudinal end of the frame relative to the floor;
- h. a second leg extending below the frame and operatively configured to adjust the elevation of a second end of the frame relative to the floor;
- i. wherein the first and second leg are configured to be arranged in such a way that in at least one combination, the substantially planar upper surface of the carriage is substantially horizontal to the floor;
- and,
- j. wherein the first longitudinal end of the frame is longitudinally opposed to the second longitudinal end of the frame.
A retrofit kit for a combination exercise treatment table a frame comprising a plurality of rails adjacent the upper edge of the frame, the frame having a head end and a foot end, a user supporting carriage movably coupled to the frame and operatively configured to allow longitudinal movement of the carriage upon the rails, relative to the frame;
- and a plurality of elastic members coupled between the frame and the carriage and operatively configured to bias the carriage toward the foot end of the frame, the retrofit kit comprising:
- a. a plurality of legs operably configured to be pivotably coupled to the frame and support the treatment table above the floor at an adjustable height therefrom, and
- b. a locking mechanism operably configured to maintain the legs in relative position to the frame.
