BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a tiltable or a tilting inversion exerciser, and more particularly to a tilting inversion exerciser having a fixed control device for preventing the fixed control device from being separated from users, and for allowing the fixed control device to be easily operated by the users. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Various kinds of typical inversion suspension exercisers, rotational exercisers, tilting inversion exercisers etc. have been developed and comprise a table rotatably or pivotally attached to a support, and rotatable relative to the support for conducting various inversion or suspension exercises. [0005] For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,575,745 to Lin discloses one of the typical inversion suspension exercisers, and comprises a rotatational frame pivotally attached to a support with pivots, for allowing the users to rotate the frame relative to the support. [0006] However, the typical inversion suspension exercisers do not have any control device to control the rotational movement of the frame relative to the support, such that the users may have to use their own weight and their strength to operate the conventional tilting inversion exercisers and to conduct the typical rotational or inversion exercises. [0007] For allowing the users to easily operate the typical rotational or inversion exercises, the other typical rotational or inversion exercises have been developed and comprise a motor driving mechanism attached to the support, to control the table or the frame to rotate relative to the support, and thus to allow the users to easily operate the conventional tilting inversion exercisers. [0008] For example, as shown in FIG. 1, illustrated is another tilting inversion exerciser which also comprises a table 20 rotatably or pivotally attached to a support 11, and rotatable relative to the support 11 for conducting various inversion or suspension exercises, and a motor driving mechanism 90 has further be provided and attached to the support 11, to control and to actuate the table 20 to rotate relative to the support 11. [0009] In order to control the motor driving mechanism 90, a control box or member 91 is required to be provided and loosely coupled to the motor driving mechanism 90 with an electric cable 92, to allow the users to operate the conventional tilting inversion exercisers. However, the electric cable 92 may not be fixed to the support 11 or the table 20 due to the rotational movement of the table 20 relative to the support 11, and may thus be dropped or separated from the users, and may be wound around the support 11 or even the users inadvertently. [0010] The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional tilting inversion exercisers. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0011] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a tilting inversion exerciser including a fixed control device for preventing the fixed control device from being separated from users, and for allowing the fixed control device to be easily operated by the users. [0012] In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a tilting inversion exerciser comprising a stand, a table rotatably attached to the stand with the shaft, to support a user, and the table including at least one hand grip 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, and a control device 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. [0013] The control device includes an electric cable coupled to the driving device, to operate the driving device. The electric cable is engaged through the hand grip. The table includes at least one frame disposed thereon, and the hand grip is extended from the frame. [0014] The electric cable is engaged through the hand grip and the frame. The table includes a foot retaining device attached thereto, to retain feet of the user to the table. [0015] Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of the detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0016] FIG. 1 is a side plan view illustrating one of the typical tilting inversion exercisers; [0017] FIG. 2 is an upper perspective view of a tilting inversion exerciser in accordance with the present invention; and [0018] FIG. 3 is a bottom perspective view of the tilting inversion exerciser. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT [0019] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a tilting inversion exerciser in accordance with the present invention comprises a stand 10 including two frames 11, 12 pivotally attached together, and openable or movable relative to each other between an open or working position (FIGS. 1-2), and a folding or receiving position (not shown). The foldable stand 10 is typical and will not be described in further details. [0020] A table 20 is rotatably or pivotally attached to an upper portion 13 of the stand 10 with a pivot shaft 14 or fasteners or the like, for allowing the table 20 to be rotated relative to the stand 10 with or about the pivot shaft 14. A driving device 21, such as a motor 21 is attached to the table 20, and includes a coupling or transmission device 22 coupled to or engaged with the shaft 14, in order to drive or to rotate the table 20 relative to the stand 10 about the pivot shaft 14.
