PORTABLE TRACTION APPARATUS Abstract of the Disclosure A portable apparatus for elevating in traction the hips of a person. A pair of vertically oriented, tri- angular shaped side frames, adapted for placement upon the top of a bed, support a horizontally oriented, elongate cross beam above the hips of the user. The user's hips are suspended at a selected elevation beneath the cross beam by a cord attached at one end to a conventional traction belt worn by the user and, at its other end, threaded through a pulley suspended by a hanger from the cross beam, and attached to a convenient anchor. The cross beam is releasably attached to the two side frames by a pair of respective clamps which permit the position of the frames along the longitudinal axis of the cross beam to be varied for adjustment of the distance between the two frames. The hanger utilizes a sleeve placed over the cross beam so that it may slideably move along the longitudinal axis thereof, and the pulley is attached to the hanger by a pair of flexibly interlinked rings permitting the pulley to move freely relative to the hanger to maximize the comfort of the user. A pair of slotted tabs may be fixedly attached to the pulley for anchoring the upper end of the cord by wedging it into the slot of one of the tabs.
