Abstract
Systems, devices and methods including a foundation member comprising: a front Portion configured to receive a user's upper legs, where the front portion comprises a first protrusion and a second protrusion; a pommel configured to guide the user to a proper location on the foundation member, where the pommel is proximate the front portion and between the first protrusion and the second protrusion; and a rear portion configured to receive a user's lower pelvic area, the rear portion comprising a central portion and an upwardly inclined lateral portion, where the lateral portion and the front portion collectively surround the central portion.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A device comprising:
a foundation member comprising:
a front portion configured to receive a user's upper legs, wherein the front portion comprises a first protrusion and a second protrusion;
a pommel configured to guide a user to a proper location on the foundation member, wherein the pommel is proximate the front portion and between the first protrusion and the second protrusion; and
a rear portion configured to receive a user's lower pelvic area, the rear portion comprising a central portion and an upwardly inclined lateral portion, wherein the lateral portion and the front portion collectively surround the central portion.
2 . The device of claim 1 wherein the central portion has plural portions of varying flexibility.
3 . The device of claim 1 wherein the lateral portion has plural portions of varying flexibility.
4 . The device of claim 1 wherein the pommel guides the user to a sitting location such that each upper leg of the user is disposed on either side of the pommel in the front portion.
5 . The device of claim 1 wherein the pommel is partially surrounded by the front portion.
6 . The device of claim 1 wherein a top surface of the pommel comprises an outward curve relative to the foundation member.
7 . The device of claim 1 wherein a bottom surface of the pommel comprises a corresponding curve such that the bottom surface of the pommel is elevated above a surface when the device is placed on the surface.
8 . The device of claim 1 wherein the pommel comprises a visual indication to the user of where to sit in the foundation member such that each upper leg of the user is disposed on either side of the pommel in the front portion.
9 . The device of claim 1 wherein the pommel comprises a sloped shape such that a portion of a leg of the user placed on the pommel will be guided to a respective side of the pommel such that each upper leg of the user is disposed on either side of the pommel in the front portion.
10 . The device of claim 1 further comprising a grip disposed on a bottom surface of the pommel for aiding the user in adjusting a position of the foundation member.
11 . The device of claim 10 wherein the grip comprises a generally undulating surface to provide a holding surface for one or more fingers of the user.
12 . The device of claim 10 wherein the grip comprises two or more connected arcs to provide one or more holding surfaces.
13 . The device of claim 1 further comprising:
one or more anti-slip grip areas, wherein each of the one or more anti-slip grip areas provide an area of increased friction.
14 . The device of claim 13 wherein an anti-slip grip area of the one or more anti-slip grip areas is disposed on at least one of: the lateral portion and the front portion.
15 . The device of claim 13 further comprising:
a pad gripping portion disposed on a bottom surface of the foundation member, wherein the gripping portion comprises an anti-skid material to prevent sliding of the device relative to a surface.
16 . A device comprising:
a front portion configured to receive a user's upper legs; a pommel configured to guide a user to a proper location on the foundation member, wherein the pommel is partially surrounded by the front portion; a grip disposed on a bottom surface of the pommel for aiding the user in adjusting a position of the foundation member; and a rear portion configured to receive a user's lower pelvic area, the rear portion comprising a central portion and an upwardly inclined lateral portion, wherein the lateral portion and the front portion collectively surround the central portion.
17 . The device of claim 16 further comprising:
a pad gripping portion disposed on a bottom surface of the device, wherein the gripping portion comprises an anti-skid material to prevent sliding of the device relative to a surface.
18 . The device of claim 17 wherein the pad gripping portion comprises a Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR).
19 . The device of claim 18 wherein the TPR prevents sliding of the device relative to a surface the device is placed on.
20 . The device of claim 18 wherein the TPR prevents scratching of a surface the device is placed on by the bottom surface of the device.
21 . The device of claim 17 wherein the pad gripping portion is generally triangular with rounded edges.
22 . The device of claim 17 wherein a center portion of the pad is generally flat to provide a neutral balance point for the device to sit flat when not in use.
23 . The device of claim 17 wherein a center portion of the pad is rounded to require the user to use more core and gluteal muscles to balance the device on a harder surface.
24 . A device comprising:
a front portion configured to receive a user's upper legs; a pommel configured to guide a user to a proper location on the foundation member, wherein the pommel is partially surrounded by the front portion, and wherein the pommel guides the user to a sitting location such that each upper leg of the user is disposed on either side of the pommel in the front portion; a grip disposed on a bottom surface of the pommel for aiding the user in adjusting a position of the foundation member, wherein the grip comprises a generally undulating surface to provide a holding surface for one or more fingers of the user; a pad gripping portion disposed on a bottom surface of the device, wherein the gripping portion comprises an anti-skid material to prevent sliding of the device relative to a surface; a rear portion configured to receive a user's lower pelvic area, the rear portion comprising a central portion and an upwardly inclined lateral portion, wherein the lateral portion and the front portion collectively surround the central portion; and one or more anti-slip grip areas, wherein each of the one or more anti-slip grip areas provide an area of increased friction wherein an anti-slip grip area of the one or more anti-slip grip areas is disposed on at least one of: the lateral portion and the front portion.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
