Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
An exerciser device for exercising the body or a user comprising: a raised supporting base member; two spaced horizontally and freely rotatable removable platforms, each said platform being rotatable either clockwise or counter-clockwise independent of the other and each having a fixed vertical downwardly extending turning shaft; two spaced parallel socket means positioned in the top of said base member, each socket means adapted to removably receive one of said turning shafts when positioned in said socket means and to retain the platforms spaced above the top of said base member to provide a pair of horizontally-positioned spaced platforms independently rotatable with respect to each other and to said base by motion of the body of the user; and a parallel pair of hand gripping support bars attached to and extending upward from said base, one on each side of said pair of independently rotatable platforms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
146 words
An exerciser device for exercising the body or a user comprising: a raised supporting base member; two spaced horizontally and freely rotatable removable platforms, each said platform being rotatable either clockwise or counter-clockwise independent of the other and each having a fixed vertical downwardly extending turning shaft; two spaced parallel socket means positioned in the top of said base member, each socket means adapted to removably receive one of said turning shafts when positioned in said socket means and to retain the platforms spaced above the top of said base member to provide a pair of horizontally-positioned spaced platforms independently rotatable with respect to each other and to said base by motion of the body of the user; and a parallel pair of hand gripping support bars attached to and extending upward from said base, one on each side of said pair of independently rotatable platforms.
