Multi directional abdominal exercise device

Abstract

The invention provides a unique and improved device for the exercise and development of all the muscle groups comprising: the abdomen, lower back and hip flexors in the elongated and contracted positions while the user is in a seated position facing forward with the said users legs and feet interlocked therein the invention. The seat and joint assemblage corresponding with the frame work of the invention comprises a unique design allowing absolute multidirectional movement of the said user's upper body while the said user is advantageously and safely held with a belt assemblage thereto the multi directional seating assemblage. This provides the said user the means for a safe, concentrated and extremely effective form of exercises for the aforementioned muscle groups.

1 . A device for exercising all the major muscles comprising: the abdomen, lower back and hip flexors in the elongated and contracted positions. 
 That comprises: 
 a) A rigid frame consisting of a front and rear section encompassing parallel and transverse orientated cross members affixed thereto the front and rear sections of the said rigid frame.  
 b) A rigid section projecting upwards and rearwards from the front of the said rigid frame affixed thereto the said rigid frame.  
 c) Advantageously affixed thereto the said rigid section: four protrusions advantageously arranged to facilitate the interlocking thereto the said protrusions the legs and feet of a user while the said user is in the seated position facing forward thereto the said front section of the said rigid frame.  
 d) An upward projecting member affixed to the said rigid frame and affixed thereto the said rigid section.  
 e) A section or sections detachably affixed to the said rear section of the said rigid frame facilitating forward and rearward adjustment of the said section or sections.  
   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising: The means of transferring the weight of the said user downwards and outwards in all directions selectively while the said user is in a seated position facing forward thereto the said front section of the said rigid frame.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising: The means of interlocking and holding the legs of the said user thereto the said protrusions while the said user is in a seated position facing forward thereto the said front section of the said rigid frame.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising: the means of interlocking and holding the feet of the said user thereto the said protrusions while the said user is in a seated position facing forward thereto the said front section of the said rigid frame.  
   
   
       5 . A device for exercising all of the major muscles comprising: the abdomen, lower back and hip flexors in the elongated and contracted positions. 
 That comprises: 
 a) A fabricated joint assemblage advantageously facilitating multi directional movement thereof the said fabricated joint assemblage.  
 b) A seating surface affixed thereto the said fabricated joint assemblage allowing multidirectional movement of the said seating surface.  
   
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 5  further comprising: The means of using the said fabricated joint assemblage affixed to a corresponding surface allowing movement of the said corresponding surface in all directions.  
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 5  further comprising: the said seating surface affixed thereto the said fabricated joint assemblage allowing the said user seated thereon the said seating surface multi directional movement.  
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 5  wherein: The use of the said fabricated joint assemblage for the purpose of exercising any or all parts of a user's body.  
   
   
       9 . A device for exercising all the major muscles comprising: the abdomen, lower back and hip flexors in the elongated and contracted positions. 
 That comprises: 
 a) The said seating surface and said multidirectional joint assemblage detachably and correspondingly affixed therein the said upward projecting member allowing the said seating surface and said multi directional joint assemblage rotational movement within the said upward projecting member.  
 b) A fastening belt assemblage affixed to the said seating surface allowing the said user to be detachably affixed thereto the said seating surface.  
   
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of claim  0 . 9  further comprising: a means of detachably affixing the said seating surface to the said rigid section in a fixed position allowing no movement of the said seating surface or in a neutral position allowing multidirectional movement of the said seating surface.  
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 9  further comprising: a removable pin and corresponding receptacle affixed to the said seating surface and said rigid section allowing the said user to be seated on the said surface in the said neutral or said fixed positions.
