ABSTRACT:
A support frame for embracing the upper portion of the shoulders of a person to undergo cervical traction is provided and the frame includes inverted transversely spaced aligned U-shaped opposite side members having an upper transverse brace extending between and secured to the bight portions of the side members as well as lower braces extending between and secured to corresponding lower leg portions of the inverted U-shaped opposite side members. Further, the lower ends of the legs of each side member are rigidly interconnected by means of a support brace extending therebetween and the lower terminal ends of the legs of each side member project downwardly below the support brace. A pair of downwardly opening generally semi-cylindrical shoulder plates are secured between the lower terminal ends of the legs of the side members and the central portions of the downwardly opening shoulder plates are disposed immediately beneath and secured to the central portions of the corresponding support braces. The central portion of the upper transverse brace supports a block and tackle assembly which depends downwardly therefrom and supports a head harness at its lower end and the block and tackle assembly includes a free line end which extends outwardly from the upper portion of the block and tackle assembly and through a pulley block supported from the bight portion of one of the inverted U-shaped opposite side members. The free end of the line is wound about a winding member journaled from the lower portion of he same opposite side member.
