Abstract
An exercise apparatus including: a pair of platforms, each of the pair of platforms having: a base including a lower surface and a pair of opposed flanges extending upwardly from the lower surface; roller units received side-by-side in the base and being independently rotatable, each of the roller units extending between the pair of opposed flanges of the base and including at least two roller bodies spaced from one another by a groove, each of the at least two roller bodies including an outer surface, at least a portion of the outer surface being in continuous contact with the lower surface of the base; a retainer coupled to the base for maintaining the rollers units on the base; and a connector for coupling the pair of platforms to one another to provide a surface for sliding.
Claims14
A platform for an exercise apparatus, said platform comprising:
- a base including a lower surface and a pair of opposed flanges extending upwardly from said lower surface, one of said opposed flanges having a first flange portion and a second flange portion, said first flange portion being provided at an angle to said second flange portion;
- roller units received side-by-side in said base and being independently rotatable to define a surface for sliding, each of said roller units extending between said pair of opposed flanges of said base and including at least two roller bodies spaced from one another by a groove, each of said at least two roller bodies including an outer surface, said outer surface being in contact with said lower surface of said base;
- and
- a retainer coupled to said base for maintaining said roller units on said base;
- wherein said platform is for coupling to a second platform to provide said exercise apparatus.
A platform as claimed in claim 3, wherein said rearward end of said platform is coupled to said rearward end of said second platform by connecting straps.
An exercise apparatus comprising:
- a pair of platforms, each of said pair of platforms including:
- a base including a lower surface and a pair of opposed flanges extending upwardly from said lower surface;
- roller units received side-by-side in said base and being independently rotatable, each of said roller units extending between said pair of opposed flanges of said base and including at least two roller bodies spaced from one another by a groove, each of said at least two roller bodies including an outer surface, at least a portion of said outer surface being in continuous contact with said lower surface of said base;
- a retainer coupled to said base for maintaining said rollers units on said base;
- and
- a connector for coupling said pair of platforms to one another to provide a surface for sliding.
