Abstract
A calf stretching apparatus having a base having a lower surface defining a lower surface plane, a front end, a rear end opposing the rear end of the base, the rear end of the base having a rear edge defining a recessed base through opening and a foot placement platform with a front end, a rear end opposing the front end of the foot placement platform, a platform surface spanning in an upward direction with respect the base from the front end of the foot placement platform to the rear end of the foot placement platform and disposed at an acute angle with respect to the lower surface plane, a platform sidewall surrounding the platform surface on three sides thereof, wherein the rear end of the foot placement platform has a rear edge defining a recessed platform through opening aligned with the recessed base through opening.
Claims19
A calf stretching apparatus comprising:
- a handheld body with:
- a base having a lower surface defining a lower surface plane, a front end, a rear end opposing the front end of the base;
- and
- a foot placement platform with a front end, a rear end opposing the front end of the foot placement platform, a platform surface spanning in an upward direction with respect to the base from the front end of the foot placement platform to the rear end of the foot placement platform, and a platform sidewall surrounding the platform surface on three sides thereof and including an arcuate heel sidewall interposed thereon, the platform surface having:
- a first platform surface disposed adjacent to the arcuate heel sidewall and of a parallel orientation with respect to the lower surface plane;
- and
- a second platform surface disposed at an acute angle with respect to the lower surface plane, the first platform surface interposed between the arcuate heel sidewall and the second platform surface and disposed at an obtuse angle with respect to the second platform surface.
In combination with a door frame defining a door opening and having a door jamb including a door stop protruding therefrom, wherein the improvement comprises:
- a calf stretching body with:
- a base having a lower surface defining a lower surface plane, a front end, a rear end opposing the front end of the base, the rear end of the base having a rear edge defining a recessed base through opening;
- and
- a foot placement platform with a front end, a rear end opposing the front end of the foot placement platform, a platform surface spanning in an upward direction with respect to the base from the front end of the foot placement platform to the rear end of the foot placement platform and disposed at an acute angle with respect to the lower surface plane, an arcuate heel sidewall disposed proximal to the rear end of the foot placement platform, the rear end of the foot placement platform having a rear edge defining a recessed platform through opening aligned with the recessed base through opening;
- and
- an installed position along a body translation path with the calf stretching body disposed within the door opening of the door frame and with the door stop disposed within the recessed base through opening and the recessed platform through opening.
