Abstract
A bed which is pivotable from a horizontal arrangement to a vertical arrangement to controllably invert a human body from a supine position to an inverted position. The arrangement of the bed is controlled by at least one electric actuator so that injured or ill persons may attain the inverted position safely and easily. Hanging by their legs, users are suspended in the inverted position by a trapeze bar which is supported within a rotatable leg attachment; by adjusting the position of the trapeze bar and the angle of the leg attachment, selective stimulation may be applied to targeted acupressure points. A heating and/or vibrating unit may be included to provide further stimulation to the spine.
Claims19
A bed for facilitating the inversion of a human body comprising:
- a rectangular base having a front end, a rear end and opposing sides;
- a first padded board fixedly mounted to said rear end of said rectangular base;
- a second padded board having a first end proximal to said first padded board, a second distal end and opposing sides, said first end of said second padded board being pivotally secured to said rectangular base;
- a leg attachment including an axle, a central bar and a trapeze bar, said leg attachment being removably secured to said second distal end of said second padded board by said axle, said central bar depending from said axle and said trapeze bar adapted to be slidably mounted on said central bar at a plurality of positions;
- a first actuator, said first actuator being mounted to said rectangular base and having a first reciprocating piston, said first actuator providing a force through the movement of said first reciprocating piston to pivot said second padded board between a first position and a second position;
- a second actuator, said second actuator being mounted to said second padded board and having a second reciprocating piston, said second actuator providing a force through the movement of said second reciprocating piston to pivot said leg attachment between a first leg position and a second leg position, and
- an electronic control device, said electronic control device adapted to control the activation of said first and second actuators.
A bed for facilitating the inversion of a human body comprising:
- a rectangular base having a front end, a rear end and two opposing sides;
- a first padded board fixedly mounted to said rear end of said rectangular base;
- a second padded board having a first end proximal to said first padded board, a distal second end and opposing sides, said first end of said second padded board being pivotally secured to said rectangular base;
- a leg attachment including an axle secured to said distal second end of said second padded board, two frame legs pivotally connected to opposing ends of said axle and a trapeze bar, said trapeze bar being slidably mounted to said two frame legs, said leg attachment being pivotable between first leg position and a second leg position;
- a pair of bracing members each in the form of a rod having a first end and a second end and each of which being lockable to a fixed length, said first end of each of said bracing members being pivotally secured to a respective opposing side of said rectangular base, said second end of each of said bracing members being pivotally secured to a respective opposing frame leg of said leg attachment, wherein said bracing members when locked secure said leg attachment in either of said first leg position or said second leg position or any position therebetween;
- an actuator, said actuator being mounted to said rectangular base and having a reciprocating piston, said actuator providing a force through the movement of said reciprocating piston to pivot said second padded board from a first position to a second position, and
- an electronic control device, said electronic control device adapted to control the activation of said first and second actuators.
