Abstract
Abstract A device including a first surface adapted to receive the haunches or posterior extremety of a person and a second surface adapted to receive either both or one of the persons feet, to support the person in a leaning type position with his weight distributed so that a sufficient amount thereof is transmitted through said second surface to the surface upon which the support is disposed to minimize relative movement therebetween and thus obviate the need for securing the support in place.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
34 words
A support wherein said aperature is formed with a lower edge disposed so as to have at least one foot of a person rest thereon when the person is in said leaning type position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
34 words
A support wherein said aperature is formed with a lower edge disposed so as to have at least one foot of a person rest thereon when the person is in said leaning type position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
143 words
A support comprising: a first surface adapted to support a portion of a person; a second surface adapted to support another portion of the person; and means interconnecting said first surface and said second surface so that when the person is being supported thereon, the weight of said person is distributed in such a manner that relative movement between the support and the surface upon which the support is disposed is minimized, said means including a floor engaging portion and a rear wall rising from proximate the rear extremity of said floor engaging portion and merging in a continuous manner with the rear extremity of said first surface, and a front wall rising from a location between the front and rear extremities of said floor engaging portion and merging with a front extremity of said first surface so as to be continuous therewith.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
143 words
A support comprising: a first surface adapted to support a portion of a person; a second surface adapted to support another portion of the person; and means interconnecting said first surface and said second surface so that when the person is being supported thereon, the weight of said person is distributed in such a manner that relative movement between the support and the surface upon which the support is disposed is minimized, said means including a floor engaging portion and a rear wall rising from proximate the rear extremity of said floor engaging portion and merging in a continuous manner with the rear extremity of said first surface, and a front wall rising from a location between the front and rear extremities of said floor engaging portion and merging with a front extremity of said first surface so as to be continuous therewith.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
60 words
The support of claim 2 wherein the outside of said rear wall is arcuately contoured and merges with the rear extremity of said first surface at a point in elevation above where said front wall merges with the front extremity of said first surface such that said first surface is disposed at an incline relative to said floor engaging portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
173 words
A support comprising: a first surface adapted to support a portion of a person; a second surface adapted to support another portion of the person; and means interconnecting said first surface and said second surface so that when the person is being supported thereon, the weight of said person is distributed in such a manner that relative movement between the support and the surface upon which the support is disposed is minimized, SAID interconnecting means including a floor engaging portion and wall means interconnecting said floor engaging portion to said first surface, said wall means including spaced wall-like portions rising from said floor engaging portion to carry said first surface. said wall-like portions including a rear wall rising from proximate the rear extremity of said floor engaging portion to proximate the rear extremity of said first surface, and a front wall rising from a location between the front and rear extremities of said floor engaging portion to proximate a front extremity of said first surface, said front wall having formed therein an aperture.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
173 words
A support comprising: a first surface adapted to support a portion of a person; a second surface adapted to support another portion of the person; and means interconnecting said first surface and said second surface so that when the person is being supported thereon, the weight of said person is distributed in such a manner that relative movement between the support and the surface upon which the support is disposed is minimized, SAID interconnecting means including a floor engaging portion and wall means interconnecting said floor engaging portion to said first surface, said wall means including spaced wall-like portions rising from said floor engaging portion to carry said first surface. said wall-like portions including a rear wall rising from proximate the rear extremity of said floor engaging portion to proximate the rear extremity of said first surface, and a front wall rising from a location between the front and rear extremities of said floor engaging portion to proximate a front extremity of said first surface, said front wall having formed therein an aperture.
