Embodiment Construction

[0013]As may be inferred from the drawings in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the apparatus (1) has a platform preferably using metal beams over which is raised in the front part a support for the hands (2), which also works as a point of balance for the user. Immediately afterwards, we see a platform for the feet (3) made of metal or another material and whose height is adjustable as per FIG. 2. In the back part we see the part (4) that works as a repose for the three levers (5, 8 and 9), which are the main part of the apparatus. The lever (5) supports the ring weight load (13) and is interconnected by an adjustable telescopic part (10) to the upper structure (8 and 9). The three levers (5, 8 and 9) move vertically at the same time and are affixed by hinges (7) to the back structure (6) that arises from the platform (1).

[0014]The upper structure (8-9) that works as a parallelogram consequently has the front part (11) perpendicular to the floor in any position, thus firmly supporting the part (12...

Abstract

A squatting apparatus without spinal column compression, includes a platform for supporting feet of a person, a supporting structure at a height greater than that of said platform, a lever pivotally connected to said supporting structure by a hinge that allows vertical movement of the lower lever, the lower lever having an arrangement to support a weight load thereon, a cushioned backrest connected adjacent a front part of said lever to be supported on a lumbar-sacral region of the person, and handles for grasping by the person such that the person assumes a bent over position when the cushioned backrest is supported on the lumbar-sacral region of the person, without compressing shoulders or spinal column of the person.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention is an apparatus to stimulate the thigh muscles, relieving pressure on the shoulders and compression of the spinal column.[0002]For many years, squatting exercises were condemned by several universities worldwide, due to the force exerted on the spinal column and its structures, as well as patella pressure on the knees.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The purpose of this invention is to create an apparatus to enable one to do the exercises without compressing the shoulders and spinal column by using weights or a system of plates. The device is supported on the individual's lumbar-sacral region, placing the pressure on these regions and on the thigh-femur joints, removing the weight load from the shoulders, cervical region and the rest of the spinal column, since the lumbar support is achieved with the spinal column stable and straight with no apophyseal pillars and without compressing disks, nerves, etc.[0004]Through this new equipment, ev...
