Abstract
A chiropractic adjustor apparatus having an electromagnetic drive mechanism connected to an actuating means which causes a shaft to reciprocate. The reciprocating shaft is used to apply pressure or force directly to the spinal vertebrae of a body. The improvements of this device include a variable-controlled switch to enable the user to change the frequency of the reciprocation; a thermal cut-off switch that automatically turns off the power to the electromagnetic drive mechanism so that the device will stop reciprocating; and a suite of structures that work together to resist rotation when the device is in use.
Claims9
A chiropractic adjustor device comprising:
- a) a housing having a central interior cavity and a pair of opposite end portions;
- b) an electromagnetic drive mechanism mounted in the interior cavity of the housing;
- c) a shaft extending through the electromagnetic drive mechanism and through openings in the opposite end portions of the housing;
- d) means for actuating the electromagnetic drive mechanism to cause repetitive reciprocal movement of the shaft along a longitudinal axis of the shaft and relative to the housing wherein the actuating means further includes an electronic control module;
- and
- e) means attached to the housing for gripping to hold the device;
- and
- f) means for resisting rotation of the gripping means relative to the shaft and rotation of the shaft relative to a force-transmitting element the apparatus relative to a user's grip.
