ABSTRACT:
An inclined body support includes a frame having a pair of triangular end braces joined-together by stays extending between corresponding corners of the end braces. A releasable coupling arrangement permits the frame to be varied slightly in size and disassembled for storage. A transverse connector joining the lowermost pair of stays near their respective midpoints reinforces the frame. Each of the stays further includes a pair of arms joined by a hinge for relative movement thus permitting the frame to conform to nonplanar supporting surfaces. A padded tent is suspended from the stays for retaining the upper body of a user at an inclination. For additional user comfort, the frame is covered with close-fitting foam pads.
