Adjustable back support platform

Abstract

An adjustable back support platform for supporting a user's body while the user lies on his back, facing up in a cabinet or towards the bottom of the sink to perform desired tasks comprises an elongated platform member having an attachment ledge attached at one end and a hinged foot member disposed on the other end. The rectangular board shaped elongated platform member has the L shaped attachment ledge permanently attached to one end such the plane of their respective top surfaces are shared. The hinged foot member, attached to the bottom surface of the platform member near the end opposite the end to which the attachment bracket is attached, hinges between a parallel and a perpendicular positions, thereby enabling the adjustable back support to be placed in two distinct orientations against a ledge.

1 . An adjustable back support platform, comprising:
 an elongated platform member having a first end and a second end and a top surface and a bottom surface;   an attachment ledge permanently attached to the first end of the platform member such that upper most portion of the attachment ledge does not extend above the top surface of the platform member;   a hinged foot member attached to the bottom surface of the platform member adjacent to the second end thereof, wherein the hinged foot member is moveable between a first position defined by the hinged foot member parallel to and positioned against the platform member, and a second position defined by the hinged foot member perpendicular with and extending down from the platform member.   
     
     
         2 . The adjustable back support platform of  claim 1 , wherein the elongated platform member defines a rectangular board. 
     
     
         3 . The adjustable back support platform of  claim 1 , wherein the elongated platform member includes a handle aperture for receiving a user's hand to allow it to be carried. 
     
     
         4 . The adjustable back support platform of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment ledge is permanently attached to the platform member through at least one of L bracket attached to both the attachment ledge with elongated fasteners and to the platform member with an adhesive. 
     
     
         5 . The adjustable back support platform of  claim 1 , wherein the hinged foot member is attached to the platform member through a hinge bracket. 
     
     
         6 . The adjustable back support platform of  claim 1 , wherein the hinged foot member and platform member include a foot attachment fastener system that enables the hinged foot member to be held in place when the hinged foot member is placed in the first position so as to resist inadvertent movement. 
     
     
         7 . The adjustable back support platform of  claim 6 , wherein the foot attachment fastener system is defined by a fabric hook and loop fastener having a hook surface disposed on the hinged foot member and a loop surface disposed on the platform member. 
     
     
         8 . An adjustable back support platform, comprising:
 a means for supporting a user's body on a flat surface over two surfaces on distinct vertical planes;   an attachment means for connecting to an elevated surface, wherein the attachment means is connected to a first end of the means for supporting;   a foot means for selectively orienting the adjustable back support platform into either a horizontal orientation or a ramp orientation at a given time.   
     
     
         9 . The adjustable back support platform of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment ledge is sized to extend at least across the entire first end of the platform member. 
     
     
         10 . The adjustable back support platform of  claim 1 , wherein the hinged foot member defines a rectangular prism positioned transverse across the platform member, parallel to at least one of said first end and said second end. 
     
     
         11 . The adjustable back support platform of  claim 1 , wherein said attachment ledge includes a planar ledge portion having a ledge top surface disposed on a single plane with the top surface of the platform member 
     
     
         12 . An adjustable back support platform, comprising:
 an elongated platform member having a first end and a second end and a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the elongated platform member includes a handle aperture for receiving a user's hand to allow it to be carried;   an attachment ledge permanently attached to the first end of the platform member such that upper most portion of the attachment ledge does not extend above the top surface of the platform member, wherein said attachment ledge includes a planar ledge portion having a ledge top surface disposed on a single plane with the top surface of the platform member and the attachment ledge is sized to extend at least across the entire first end of the platform member;   a hinged foot member defining a rectangular prism and attached to the bottom surface of the platform member, wherein the hinged foot member is moveable between a first position defined by the hinged foot member parallel to and positioned against the platform member, and a second position defined by the hinged foot member perpendicular with and extending down from the platform member; and   said hinged foot member positioned transverse across the platform member, oriented on said bottom surface proximal to said second end and distal to said first end.
