Abstract:
A compliant body-pressing exerciser adapted to be detachably coupled to a seat frame, comprising:a bowl-shaped lower member adapted to contact the ground and including an upper surrounding edge portion, and a lower rounded wall extending downwardly and convergently from said upper surrounding edge portion and terminating at a lowermost spot which is adapted to contact the ground when said exerciser is not in use; and a dome-shaped upper member adapted to compliantly press against a user's body, and including a lower surrounding edge portion which is disposed to engage said upper surrounding edge portion and which is associated with said upper surrounding edge portion to form a reference plane that is adapted to be disposed parallel to the ground, and an upper rounded wall which extends upwardly and convergently from said lower surrounding edge portion and which terminates at an apical spot, said apical spot cooperating with said lowermost spot to define a central line that is normal to and that intersects said reference plane at a central point, said bowl-shaped lower member and said dome-shaped upper member being configured such that a first height which is calculated from said apical spot to said central point is larger than a second height which is calculated from said lowermost spot to said central point, and such that a shortest one of first radial distances measured from said central point to said lower surrounding edge portion is not less than the first height.
