Abstract

An inversion device for inverting and supporting a person for exercise. There are: first and second support frames, spaced one from the other, each frame including: a front leg member and a rear leg member. The front leg members have a curved handle portion near a middle of the front leg member. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, each front leg member has a handle member coupled near a middle of the front leg member, extending outwardly therefrom. The front and rear leg members are coupled together and have a downwardly divergent relationship. The inversion device further includes: a top cross member coupled to each of the first and second support frames; a thigh pad coupled to the top cross member and rotatable about a long axis of the top cross member; and a bottom cross member coupled to a bottom end of each of the front leg members.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An inversion device for inverting and supporting a person, comprising:
 first and second support frames, spaced one from the other, each frame including:
 a front leg member having a curved handle portion near a middle of the front leg member and providing a handle thereby; and 
 a rear leg member, wherein the front and rear leg members are coupled together and have a downwardly divergent relationship; 
   a top cross member coupled to each of the first and second support frames and spacing the first support frame from the second support frame;   a thigh pad coupled to the top cross member and rotatable about a long axis of the top cross member with respect to the first and second support frames; and   a bottom cross member fixedly coupled to a bottom end of each of the front leg members.   
   
   
       2 . The inversion device of  claim 1 , wherein a top surface of the thigh pad is substantially curved. 
   
   
       3 . The inversion device of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom cross member is U-shaped. 
   
   
       4 . The inversion device of  claim 1 , wherein the curved handle portion is U-shaped and protrudes from the respective support frame. 
   
   
       5 . The inversion device of  claim 1 , further comprising a pair of leg support members coupled to the front leg members and the rear leg members, respectively. 
   
   
       6 . The inversion device of  claim 5 , wherein the leg support members are selectively coupled to the front leg members. 
   
   
       7 . The inversion device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a third U-shaped support frame rotatably coupled to the rear leg members; and   a calf pad, coupled to the third support frame.   
   
   
       8 . An inversion device for inverting and supporting a person, comprising:
 first and second support frames, spaced one from the other, each frame including:
 a front leg member, each front leg member having a handle member coupled near a middle the front leg member and extending outwardly therefrom providing a handle thereby; and 
 a rear leg member, wherein the front and rear leg members are coupled together and have a downwardly divergent relationship; 
   a top cross member coupled to each of the first and second support frames and spacing the first support frame from the second support frame;   a thigh pad coupled to the top cross member and rotatable about a long axis of the top cross member with respect to the first and second support frames; and   a U-shaped bottom cross member fixedly coupled to a bottom end of each of the front leg members.   
   
   
       9 . The inversion device of  claim 8 , wherein a top surface of the thigh pad is substantially curved. 
   
   
       10 . The inversion device of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a third U-shaped support frame rotatably coupled to the rear leg members; and   a calf pad, coupled to the third support frame.   
   
   
       11 . The inversion device of  claim 8 , wherein the handle members are angularly coupled to the respective front leg members and extend upwardly therefrom. 
   
   
       12 . The inversion device of  claim 8 , further comprising a pair of leg support members coupled to the front leg members and the rear leg members, respectively. 
   
   
       13 . The inversion device of  claim 12 , wherein the leg support members are selectively coupled to the front leg members.
