Abstract
A gravity traction apparatus including an adjustable and collapsible A-frame with a transversely extending beam member at the top. Pivotally mounted on the beam member is a generally flat thigh-pad structure which has a T-shaped knee-stop member extending upwardly and rearwardly from adjacent the rear portion thereof. Stop means are provided to limit the pivotal movement of the thigh-pad structure between an inoperative position in which it is in a generally vertical position and a user is in a standing position at the rear of the frame, and an operative position in which it is generally horizontal and the user is supported thereon and hanging over the beam member with his head in a downward position.
