| Abstract: |
A static rebound exerciser/rehabilitation device for exercising a person regardless of that persons physical condition. The device includes a jack for vertically positioning a boom interconnected through a translatable cable, spring and hook to a person for elevating that person to an exercisable position. When the person to be exercised is in an exercisable position the cable is caused to oscillate the person vertically up and down against a counterbalance weight system. The amount of lift provided to the person being exercised as well as the frequency of the up and down movement is adjustable in a plurality of discrete amounts.

What is claimed is:
1. A gravity force rebound exerciser comprising:
- a cable means for supporting a person at one end and a counterbalance weight at the other end;
- a cable support means for supporting said cable between ends, said support means being selectively elevatable at the person supporting end of said cable for selectively elevating a person attached to said cable, said cable support means comprises a base support member for resting on a support surface, a first vertical member fixedly attached to said base member and extending vertically therefrom, a boom pivotally attached to the distal end of said first vertical member, a second vertical member shorter in length than said first vertical member attached to said base member spaced from said first vertical member, an extendible member pivotly attached along one edge of said second vertical member and pivotly attached at its opposite end to said boom intermediated the ends of said boom whereby when said translatable member is translated said boom is pivoted about its pivotal attachment to said first vertical member; and
- means for periodically translating said cable back and forth relative to said cable support whereby when said cable translates in a first direction a person attached to the person supporting end of the cable is elevated and said weight is lowered and when said cable translates in a second opposite direction said person is lowered and said weight are elevated.
