Abstract
A surgery table utilizing first and second sections which are hingedly attached to one another. First and second sections are also connected to supports apart from the hinged portion. An elevator moves one of the sections upwardly and downwardly at the support. The resultant position of the frame formed by the first and second sections may take the configuration of a flat surface or an upwardly or downwardly oriented “vee”.
Claims16
A surgery table apparatus comprising;
- a. a first section, said first section including a proximal end and a distal end;
- b. a second section, said second section including a proximal end and a distal end;
- c. a hinge, said hinge rotatable connecting said distal portions of said first and second sections, said first and second sections forming a frame;
- d. a first support, said first support holding said proximal end of said first section;
- e. a second support, said second support holding said proximal end of said second section;
- f. an elevator, said elevator moving said proximal portion of said first section relative to said first support while said proximal portion of said second section is being held by said second support;
- g. a chest platform slidingly positioned relative to said frame;
- and
- h. a control rod linked to said chest platform, movement of said control rod causing sliding of said chest platform with said hinged rotation of said distal portions of said first and second sections.
