#2. Description of the Related Art

#With the above and other related objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction and combination of parts as will be more fully understood from the following description, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:

#FIG. 1 represents an isometric view of the invention showing the different possible movements of the suspended platform.

#FIG. 2 shows a front view of preferred embodiment with users in phantom.

#Referring now to the drawings, where the present invention is generally referred to with numeral 10, it can be observed that it basically includes housing assembly 20 with platform assembly 60 suspended their by cable assemblies 80 and 90 that are wound and un wound in motorized spool assembly 85. Motorized spool assembly 85 is controlled by electronic control unit 100 that includes A/C or battery supplies. The inputs to control unit 100 include hard wired and remote control units 101 and 102.

#Housing assembly 20 includes upright elongated structural members 21; 22; 23 and 24 defining the corner of a space with a rectangular projection. Bottom 30 includes a cushioned flat surface where one of the users rests. Double frame assembly 40 has a substantially rectangular shape similar to the rectangular shape of bottom 30 with members 41; 41′; 42; 42′; 43; 43′; 44 and 44′.

#Platform assembly 60 is suspended by cable assemblies 80 and 90. Cable assembly 80 includes cable members 82 and 84 with ends 82′ and 84′ tied to locations on one side of platform assembly 60, space apart from each other. The other ends, 82″ and 84″, are wound in motorized spool assembly 85, as shown in FIG. 1. A number of pulley members 81 and 91 are used to direct cables 82; 84; 92 and 94. Pulley member 121 directs cable 124. Platform assembly 60 includes a flat portion 62 with through opening 64 cooperatively located to permit the user (upper) to come in partial contact with the other user (lower). At one end 61 assembly 60, there is a central cutout to facilitate contact between the users in the genital area. Two leg support members 63 and 63′ extend from end 61 and are ergonomically designed to confortably support the upper user's legs. The other end 67 of assembly 60 includes head roller 69 positioned at a spaced apart relationship with respect to end 67. Head roller 69 is made out of a soft material. Leg support members 63 and 63′ may include an adjusting mechanism such as the one shown in FIG. 5 or other equivalent mechanism to enhance the confort of a user.
