The disclosure relates to spine exercise devices and more particularly pertains to a new spine exercise device for provide spine exercise in an inverted position.
The prior art relates to spine exercise devices. The prior art includes a variety of spine exercise devices comprising a padded material positioned proximate to the spine of the user. Furthermore, know prior art includes a variety of spine exercise devices being configured for inverted exercise. Known prior art lacks a portable spine exercise device being configured for the user performing inverted exercise whereby supporting the user in an inverted vertical position by the head of the user with support from a pair of hand rails.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a base. The base has a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface has a plurality of corners. Each wheel of a plurality of wheels is coupled to a respective one of each of the corners. The plurality of wheels is configured for providing mobility to the inverted exercise assembly. A support is protruding out from the top surface of the base. The support is configured for being positioned vertical when in use. A seat has a back rest and a bottom rest. The seat is configured for positioning the top of the head of the user on a top surface of the bottom rest and positioning the back of the user on a peripheral surface of the back rest whereby the user is inverted relative to the inverted exercise assembly. A foot rail is coupled to the peripheral surface of the support. The foot rail has a foot rest. The foot rest is configured for positioning the foot of the user against. Each hand rail of a pair of hand rails has a ninety degree bend. Each of the hand rails has a top end and a bottom end. The top end of each of the hand rails is coupled to the support. The bottom end of each of the hand rails is coupled to the base. The pair of hand rails is configured for placement of the hand of the user whereby supporting the user when in-use.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
The bottom 16 surface has a plurality of corners 18. Each wheel 20 of a plurality of wheels 20 is coupled to a respective one of each of the corners 18. Each of the wheels 20 is a caster wheel. The plurality of wheels 20 is configured for providing mobility to the inverted exercise assembly 10.
The base 12 has a center 22 in the top surface 14. A support 24 is positioned in the center 22 and is protruding out from the top surface 14. The support 24 is a rectangular prism and has a length to accommodate a range of heights for the user 11. The support 24 is positioned perpendicular relative to the base 12 and is configured for being positioned vertical when in use.
Shown in
A back surface 34 of the back rest 30 is coupled to a peripheral surface 36 of the support 24. A bottom surface 38 of the bottom rest 32 is coupled to the top surface 14 of the base 12. The seat 26 has a pair of sides 40. A pair of brackets 42 is coupled to each of the sides 40 of the seat. Each of the brackets 42 is configured for retaining the seat 26 in a fixed position to the base 12 with a plurality of bolts.
Shown in
A foot rail 48 is coupled to the peripheral surface 46 of the support 24. The foot rail 48 is positioned proximate to a distal 50 end of the support 24 relative to the base 12. The foot rail 48 has a foot rest 52. The foot rest 52 is configured for the foot 17 of the user 11 to be positioned against. The foot rest 52 is coupled to the support 24 by a plurality of beams 54. Each of the beams 54 is configured for restraining the foot rest 52 from movement.
Each hand rail 56 of a pair of hand rails 56 is a cylindrical tube. Each of the hand rails 56 has a ninety degree bend 58. Each of the hand rails 56 has a top end 60 and a bottom end 62. The top end 60 of each of the hand rails 56 is coupled to the peripheral surface 46 of the support 24, and the bottom end 62 of each of the hand rails 56 is coupled to the top surface 14 of the base 12.
Each of the hand rails 56 is positioned parallel to each other. Each of the hand rails 56 is positioned adjacent to a respective one of each of the sides 40 of the seat 26. The pair of hand rails 56 is configured for a placement the user 11 can grab onto and provide support when using the inverted exercise assembly 10.
An opposing side 64 of the inverted exercise assembly 10 has a pad 66 coupled to a back surface 68 of the support 24. The pad 66 is rectangular and elongated to accommodate the height of the user 11. The opposing side 64 has a bottom pad 70 coupled to the top surface 14 of the base 12. The bottom pad 70 and the pad 66 are the foam material 28.
The opposing side 64 has a pair of hand rails 56, and each of the hand rails 56 is adjacent to a respective one of each side 72 of a pair of sides 72 of the pad 66. The opposing side 64 has a foot rail 74. The foot rail 74 is coupled to the back surface 68 of the support 24. The foot rail 74 is positioned proximate to the distal end 50 of the support 24.
In use, the user 11 positions the top of their head 13 on the top surface 44 of the bottom rest 32. The user 11 can use the pair of hand rails 56 to hoist themselves up to position their back 15 on the peripheral surface 46 of the back rest 30. The user 11 can position their feet 17 on the foot rail 48 for increased stability when in use.
When in this position, the user 11 being inverted is configured for releasing head tension, increasing blood flow, and improving spine strength. The opposing side 64 of the inverted exercise assembly 10 can be used for the same function, whereby the user 11 positions the top of their head 13 on a top surface 76 of the bottom pad 70.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
