Abstract: A tilting inversion exerciser includes a table rotatably supported on a supporting stand for supporting a user, two pivot coupling devices each having a middle axle for pivotally attaching to the supporting stand and each having one arm secured to the side portions of the table for offsetting the table from the axles of the pivot coupling devices, and a rotating device for rotating the pivot coupling device relative to the supporting stand, to rotate the table relative to the supporting stand. The table and the user may be supported and located on or closer to the center of gravity of the supporting stand, for being stably supported on the supporting stand particularly when the user is conducting the inversion exercises.

Abstract: A tilting inversion exerciser includes a table rotatably supported on a supporting stand, a foot retaining device for being powered and actuated to clamp and to retain ankle portions of the user to the table without being operated manually by the user. A motorized coupling device may move and adjust the table relative to the stand. A safety device may be used for switching off the foot retaining device to prevent the ankle portions of the user from being disengaged from the foot retaining device inadvertently when the table is operated by the user, particularly when the table and the user are rotated to a vertical position relative to the supporting stand and the ground.

Abstract: A tilting inversion exerciser includes a table rotatably supported on a supporting stand with a pivot axle and a power actuating foot retaining device attached to the table for being powered and actuated to clamp and to retain ankle portions of the user to the table without being operated manually by the user. The table includes two fixed foot supports for supporting the feet of the user, a tube is attached to the table, a stem is slidably attached to the tube and has two foot anchor members movable to clamp the feet of the user to the table. A motorized and threaded coupling device may move and adjust the stem relative to the tube. The table includes a hand grip for supporting an operating device.

Abstract: A pedal device includes a barrel for attaching to a cycling apparatus and having two or more rods resiliently supported on the barrel, and an attachment for attaching to a bicycle shoe and having two catches for selectively engaging with the rods, and for forcing the rods away from each other, to allow the catches of the attachment to move beyond the rods, and to be anchored and positioned to the rods of the pedal device. For example, the barrel includes two resilient members each having two or more orifices for engaging with the rods and to resiliently couple the rods between the resilient members and on the barrel. The barrel includes two stops for positioning the resilient members on the barrel.

Abstract: A pedal device includes a barrel for attaching to a cycling apparatus and having a fixed seat, a movable seat slidably attached onto the barrel and having a number of recesses facing toward corresponding recesses of the fixed seat, a spring biasing device for biasing the movable seat to move toward the fixed seat of the barrel, and an attachment for attaching to a bicycle shoe and having two end catches for selectively engaging with the recesses of the fixed seat and the movable seat, and for selectively anchoring the bicycle shoe to the seats of the pedal device. The movable seat is movable away from the fixed seat against the biasing device by the attachment.

Abstract: An article support rack includes a securing device having an attaching member for attaching onto a support member of a portable frame, and having a shank extended from the attaching member, a fixed pawl is attached to the shank, a rotatable pawl is attached to the shank and movable toward and away from the fixed pawl, for selectively retaining an article between the pawls. A spring biased latch may be used for latching the rotatable pawl to the shank, to selectively secure the rotatable pawl to the shank and the fixed pawl at selected angular position, and for selectively retaining an article between the pawls. A lock device includes an actuator for selectively moving the latch relative to the shank.

Abstract: A tilting inversion exerciser includes a table rotatably supported on a supporting stand for supporting a user, one or more levers having a middle portion rotatably attached to the supporting stand and having one end pivotally coupled to the table, and a rotating device for rotating the lever relative to the supporting stand, to rotate the table relative to the supporting stand, and to allow the table to be rotated relative to the supporting stand to a vertical dependent position. For example, a motor-driven threading device or an actuator may be coupled to the other end of the lever, for rotating the lever and thus the table relative to the supporting stand to the vertical position relative to the supporting stand.

Abstract: A tilting inversion exerciser includes a stand, and a table rotatably attached to the stand with the shaft, to support a user. The table includes one or more hand grips for being grasped by the user, a driving device attached to the table and coupled to the shaft, to drive and rotate the table relative to the stand. A control device is attached to the hand grip, for being readily operated by the user, to control the driving device, and for preventing the control device from being disengaged from the hand grip and the table. The control device includes an electric cable coupled to the driving device, to operate the driving device. The electric cable may be engaged through the hand grip.

Abstract: A portable searchlight device includes a container, a receptacle rotatably attached onto the container with a shaft, to allow the receptacle to rotate freely relative to the container about the shaft, a lamp holder is disposed in the receptacle and includes a lamp, and a rotating device may be used for rotating the receptacle relative to the container to any selected angular position. The container includes two conductor members and the receptacle also includes two conductor elements electrically connected with the conductor members of the container respectively, for allowing the receptacle to be electrically coupled to the container even when the receptacle is rotated relative to the container.
