Claim 7

a plurality of switch means arranged at one side of the said supporting base for selectively operating each of the said individual electrical power means to selectively raise and lower each of the said table cushion sections individually; 2. a plurality of switch means arranged at the other side of the said supporting base for selectively operating each of the said individual power means from the said other side of the said supporting base so as to selectively raise or lower each of the said table cushion sections individually; and i. additional switch means for actuating all of the said power means simultaneously so as to raise or lower all of the said table cushion sections simultaneously.

Claim 8

A chiropractic table as defined in claim 3 which includes a. switch-operating means arranged at each side of the supporting base for operating said additional switch means so as to enable all of the said table cushion sections to be raised or lowered simultaneously from either side of the said supporting base.

Claim 9

A chiropractic table as defined in claim 4 in which the said switch-operating means is in the form of a. a foot pedal-operated control means arranged at each side of the said supporting base for operating the said additional switch means from either side of the said supporting base so as to raise or lower all of the said table cushion sections simultaneously from either side of the said supporting base.

Claim 10

A patient treatment table comprising: a. a supporting base including 1. spaced side walls including a. a first side wall; and b. a second side wall; b. a table disposed above and supported by the said supporting base and adapted to support a patient thereon and including 1. a plurality of separately and individually movable table cushion sections arranged in a preselected relationship relative to each other but adapted to be moved into and out of said preselected relationship with each other; c. individual raising and lowering means for raising and lowering each of the said table cushion sections separately and individually relative to the other table cushion sections; d. a plurality of individual electrical power means for individually operating each of the said raising and lowering means; e. individual power transmitting means for delivering power from each of the said individual electrical power means to each of the said individual raising and lowering means; f. individual electrical power supply means for supplying electrical power to each of the said individual electrical power means; g. individual electrical power control means for individually conrolling the operation of the said electrical power supply means and the said individual electrical power means; h. a plurality of switch means arranged at said first side of the said supporting base for selectively operating each of the said individual electrical power means to selectively move said table cushion sections individually into and out of said preselected relationship with each other; and i. additional switch means arranged at the said first side of said supporting base for actuating all of the said power means simultaneously so as to move said table cushion sections simultaneously into and out of said preselected relationship.

Claim 11
