ABSTRACT:
A reclining traction lounge includes an inclined support surface for supporting a person's buttocks, back, shoulders and head. The support surface is mounted for limited front and back movement on a downwardly inclined frame. A pawl movable with the support surface engages a stop carried by the frame to prevent rearward movement of the support surface. The frame also carries a knee support which is located adjacent the forward end of the movable support surface. The portion of the support surface adjacent the knee support which is adapted to underlie the person's buttocks is relatively slippery whereas the portion of the support surface which underlies the person's shoulders and head is padded and covered with a non-slip material. In use, a person reclines on the lounge with his lower legs hanging over the knee support and his back on the inclined support surface. As the pawl is lifted to disengage the stop, the support surface moves rearwardly and downwardly along the frame. The shoulders and head, lying on the non-slip material, move rearwardly, while the buttocks slide on the slippery surface. The back is, thus, put into traction.
