Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, inclined trampolines suffer the disadvantages of having an outer perimeter mass of noisy springs or cords attached to a rigid frame that adds considerable girth and is uncomfortable and harmful when struck during an unintended misstep or fall.
This outer frame is a known hazard to experienced trampoline users.
Another disadvantage of the traditional mini trampoline is a negative pronation of the ankle joints due to the dimpling or curvature of the stretched trampoline fabric acting upon the foot when fully depressed.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]With reference to FIG. 1-3, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes an exercise device comprising first compressible ball 101 and a second compressible ball 103, and a first platform 105 and a second platform 107. The first platform 105 and the second platform 107 are configured and designed to accommodate the weight and torsion stress of an athlete performing multiple jumping related exercises.

[0020]As depicted in FIG. 1, the first platform 105 is disposed over a first compressible ball 101. The first compressible ball 101 may also include one or more compressible balls or other compressible elements providing similar elasticity, stability and compression such as cylindrical airsprings arranged under the first platform 105. A plurality of balls or other compressible elements can be arranged in multiple rows or in any other formation so that substantially all of the compressible balls maintain contact with a bottom surface of the first platform. 105 Similarly...

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to an inclined exercise device suitable for use for users seeking to exercise the core and leg muscles on a device that may closely mimic the actions of an alpine skier. The inclined exercise device relates to a platform disposed atop a rebounding component. The dual inclined exercise device more specifically relates to a first and a second platform set at opposing angles to each other and atop a first and second compressible element. Further, a base with various adjustable mechanisms is disclosed, providing further versatility and personalization of the claimed invention. For example an adjusting member for adjusting the forward tilt of the claimed invention is described. Other features such as a restraining element and a hinge of the claimed invention are also disclosed.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 433,692 filed Jan. 18, 2011, entitled Dual Incline Spring Board Exercise Rebounder, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The field of invention generally relates to an exercise device focusing on the core and leg muscles. More specifically, the field of invention relates to an exercise device for sports such as alpine skiing and tennis, and for the physical therapy benefits on a rebounding device.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]The present invention generally relates to an exercise device with a compressible element and a platform which provides multiple benefits over the prior art.[0006]The benefits of jumping and bouncing as part of an exercise routine are well-known. The gravitational forces acting upon the body influence hundreds of muscles and body cells ...
