Marital support platform

Abstract

The MARITAL SUPPORT PLATFORM is a structural device that is essentially a sturdy and comfortable plane supported by an adjustable means to support and to incline the platform. It is designed to provide a simple, practical, yet special platform of comfort that is capable of sturdy support to people of size.

       12 . The device according to  claim 11  wherein the top planar structure has a cushion affixed to the top side  
     whereby a person may be comfortably supported during use.  
   
   
       13 . The device according to  claim 11  wherein the top planar structure is comprised of wood.  
   
   
       14 . The device according to  claim 11  wherein the top planar structure is comprised of composite material.  
   
   
       15 . The device according to  claim 11  wherein the top planar structure is comprised of a strong and lightweight metal.  
   
   
       16 . The device according to  claim 1  wherein the top planar structure is foldable.  
   
   
       17 . The device according to  claim 1  wherein the adjustable means to inclinably support the top planar structure is comprised of a hydraulic lift system underneath and at each end of the planar structure.
