Portable Inversion Apparatus

Abstract

A portable support system that utilizes a doorway frame to allow a person to perform various inversion exercises without any modification or marring to the doorway frame and also without the use of gravity boots (ankle device U.S. Pat. No. 3,380,447 granted to Martin). Previous patented door frame support systems (U.S. Pat. No. 3,738,650 granted to Ossenkop et al, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,458,894 granted to Dudley) have required modifications to the door frame, such as mounting brackets screwed into the frame. The person also has to possess gravity boots (ankle device U.S. Pat. No. 3,380,447 granted to Martin) in order to perform inverted exercises. This invention eliminates both of these problems.

1 . A portable inversion assembly for mounting onto a doorway frame comprising a single, central support bar with couplings attached that allow the user to hand tighten the cross members;
 a removable hand grip that allow the user to lift their lower body into the leg pads and also perform pull-ups without interference;   of two padded horizontal cross members that make contact with the doorframe without any damage or marring;   of four padded horizontal cross members that secure the user's legs while inverted;   a vinyl covered rectangular tube that makes contact with the top of the door frame without any damage or marring.   
     
     
         2 . A portable inversion assembly for mounting onto a doorway frame that can be installed without any modification to the doorway frame;
 can be assembled and disassembled without the use of any tools;   doesn't require the use of gravity boots (ankle device patent U.S. Pat. No. 3,380,447);   can be disassembled by hand into smaller pieces for easy transportation;   provides hand grips for various upright exercises such as a pull-up.
