Abstract
Abstract A movable plate (6) which rests through springs (5) on a base (1) which itself bears on the ground by means of height adjustable supports (2,3) is provided with a spherical bubble level (8), with marks AA', BB', CC', DD', which define the positioning of the feet on said plate and with a removable setting system (18) with respect to the transversal line AA'. Application to the correction of equilibrium anomalies.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
Apparatus for detecting and correcting anomalies in the equilibrium in the human body including a means (8) for indicating the horizontality of a mobile mechanism mounted on at least one deformable member (5) and on which the user is placed, characterized in that said apparatus comprises a single mobile plate (6) which rests via at least three deformable members (5) on a base (1) resting on the ground and which carries the indicator means (8) of the spirit level kind integrally moving with said mobile plate, and in that said mobile plate carries elements for marking the positioning of one or both feet formed of axial lines (BB', CC', DD') in accordance with the axis of the feet, as well as a removable system (18,20) for fixing the foot with respect to a transverse line AA' dividing the weight of the body, in the middle of said plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Apparatus for detecting and correcting anomalies in the equilibrium in the human body including a means (8) for indicating the horizontality of a mobile mechanism mounted on at least one deformable member (5) and on which the user is placed, characterized in that said apparatus comprises a single mobile plate (6) which rests via at least three deformable members (5) on a base (1) resting on the ground and which carries the indicator means (8) of the spirit level kind integrally moving with said mobile plate, and in that said mobile plate carries elements for marking the positioning of one or both feet formed of axial lines (BB', CC', DD') in accordance with the axis of the feet, as well as a removable system (18,20) for fixing the foot with respect to a transverse line AA' dividing the weight of the body, in the middle of said plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the removable fixing system is formed by a rigid semiframe (18) cooperating with notches (17) provided on the plate (6) at the ends of the transverse line AA'.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the removable fixing system is formed of a resilient strip retained by notches (17) provided on the plate (6) at the ends of the transverse line AA'.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the removable fixing system is formed of a comb (20) cooperating with holes (19) provided along the axial lines CC', DD', and the transverse line (AA').
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the axial marking lines CC' and DD' are parallel to the median line BB' of the plate and are disposed symmetrically and evenly spaced on each side thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
