DETAILED DESCRIPTION In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of an automated means for providing percussion action to one's chest now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new automated chest percussor apparatus construction wherein the same can be utilized for dislodging and loosening pulmonary secretions in one's chest. The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new automated chest percussor apparatus which has many of the advantages of the an automated means for providing percussion action to one's chest mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new automated chest percussor apparatus which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art an automated means for providing percussion action to one's chest, either alone or in any combination thereof. To attain this, the present invention generally comprises includes a rectangular housing mounted upon a pair of adjustable telescopic legs, and further includes a motor, a rotatable shaft connected to the motor, a first cam mounted to the rotatable shaft near the motor, a second cam mounted to near the end of the rotatable shaft away from the motor, a first bushing supported by a support bracket 1 and supporting the rotatable shaft between the first and second cams, a first tubular member being connected to the first cam and being movably extended through a bottom wall of the housing, a second bushing supporting the first tubular member, a first flange member being securely attached to an upper end of the first tubular member, a first spring member being mounted about the first tubular member and disposed between the first flange member and the bottom wall of the housing, a first percussor member being adjustably threaded through a bottom end of the first tubular member, a second tubular member being connected to the second cam and being movably extended through a bottom wall of the housing, a third bushing supporting the second tubular member, a second flange member being securely attached to an upper end of the second tubular member, a second spring member being mounted about the second tubular member and disposed between the second flange member and the bottom wall of the housing, a second percussor member being adjustably threaded through a bottom end of the second tubular member, and a power and control source
