Abstract

A fitness apparatus for inversion therapy in which the frame structure includes a base frame and an upright with two spaced upright frame members interconnected near the ends thereof by transverse frame members; a bed-like support assembly of such width that ist will fit between the upright frame members is pivotally connected to the latter; the bed-like support assembly includes holding means near the lower end thereof of releasably hold the legs of the person sing the apparatus in fixed position with respect to the bed-like support assembly; the bed-like support assem­ bly additionally includes balancing means to enable pivotal movement of the bed-like support assembly controlled by simple arm movements of the person held onto the same by the holding means; the various parts of the frame structure and of the bed-like support assembly may thereby be made of standard frame parts detachably interconnected by bolts and slide members; a plate is secured to each side of the bed-like support assembly within the center area thereof, which is provided with a predetermined number of holes lying on a circle about the pivot axis of the bed-like support assembly on the upright frame to permit the bed-like support assembly to be held relative to the upright frame in a predetermined angular position by engagement of a pin-like member in a predetermined one of the apertures.
