DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an economic abdomen stretching exerciser in accordance with the present invention is shown comprised of a support 1, and a swinging backboard 2.

The support 1 supports the swinging backboard 2 on the floor, comprising two triangular upright foot members 20 arranged in parallel, a pivot shaft 10 horizontally pivotally coupled between the foot members 20 at the top, and two return springs 3 respectively coupled between the foot members 20 and the two distal ends of the pivot shaft 10 for returning the pivot shaft 10 after the pivot shaft 10 having been biased. The swinging backboard 2 is affixed to the pivot shaft 10 and turnable with the pivot shaft 10 relative to the foot members 20, having two forwardly extended handlebars 21 bilaterally disposed near the bottom.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, when in use, the user sits on the floor with the back supported on the backboard 2 and the hands holding the handlebars 21, and then the user turns the handlebars 21 and extends the body from the sitting status shown in FIG. 3 to an extended status shown in FIG. 4, and then the user releases the strength for enabling the return springs 3 to return the pivot shaft 10 and the backboard 2, thereby turning the body from the extended status shown in FIG. 4 to the sitting status shown in FIG. 3. This operation procedure is repeated again and again to exercise the muscles of the abdomen.

Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
