AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional tables and horizontal support members are inconvenient for today's mobile society as they require users to position themselves near the table for use, failing to accommodate activities while moving or standing.
Method used
A torso apparatus with a central opening that fits around the user's torso, applying compressive force through surface contact to maintain a horizontal position relative to the user, allowing use while walking or standing without additional support.
Benefits of technology
Enables users to perform tasks like working, reading, or eating without needing to change positions, maintaining the device's position relative to the user's torso through compressive force and surface contact.

Abstract
The torso device comprises a body having a central opening between integral front and rear members for positioning a user's torso. The front member has an upper surface (table surface), and the front and rear members have surface areas for contacting the user's torso. The front and rear members are configured to apply a compressive force to the user's torso. The surface areas and compressive force of the front and rear members hold the front member in a desired position relative to the user when the user is positioned in the central opening, for example, perpendicular to the user's torso when the user moves from a seated to a standing position and / or when the user is walking, or parallel to the floor surface on which the user is standing, thereby facilitating the availability of a table surface convenient for a given task or activity.
