Abstract

To provide a bicycle ergometer equipped with a moving image device capable of alleviating boredom and mental pain that a user feels by patiently pedaling a conventional bicycle ergometer.SOLUTION: A moving image device is attached to a conventional bicycle ergometer (Fig.1). A user sets a load adjusting dial (3) to a level of strength according to his or her ability, and starts to pedal it. While pedaling, the user switches on the moving image device and selects a moving image suitable for his or her pace. Images taken beforehand when a bicycle is ridden at various speeds are used for the moving image. The moving image device can be provided separate from a numerical value meter indicating time, speed, distance, calorie, and heart rate (Fig. 2) or can be integrated with the numerical value meter, that is, in a package form (Fig. 3). This configuration provides an effect to alleviate boredom and mental pain felt by the user toward his or her movement, by pedaling while seeing a moving image.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Description

  The present invention relates to a bicycle ergometer with a moving image device. The present invention is a health device for health promotion, contributes to the development of the device manufacturing industry, and is industrially useful.

  Conventionally, a bicycle ergometer is a health device that is used for preventing the onset of a disease at home or in a sports gym and for rehabilitation of a heart disease at a medical site. The method of use is very simple, and the desired momentum can be achieved by a simple operation of swiping the bicycle pedal of the device. The meter attached to this device displays the time, speed, distance, calories, heart rate, etc. as digital values by converting the momentum of pedaling into thermal energy and digitizing it. However, those who use this device often get bored with the operation of pedaling on the way because of the simple operation of just pedaling, or even feel mentally painful.

  By attaching a moving image device to a conventional bicycle ergometer, and stroking the pedal while watching the moving image, it is intended to relieve tiredness and mental pain while continuing simple operations.

In addition to the meter (5), which is a digital numerical device mounted on a conventional bicycle ergometer (FIG. 1), a moving image device (11) was attached. As the content of the moving image, for example, a realistic image such as a tree-lined road, a dike road, a stadium, or a scenery that changes as if you are actually riding a bicycle is suitable, but it may be a person or an animal. Video images that get tired while pedaling, relieve mental pain, and soothe your mood. The video image is recorded in advance by riding the bicycle at a speed of 7-8 using a video camera body, a video camera, a smartphone, etc., stored in a memory body, and incorporated in the video device of the present invention. . Depending on the rotation speed of the pedal, the scene changes quickly and slowly. The load intensity is set to a constant load by the load adjustment dial (3) in advance, but can be switched in the middle. The moving image device (11) can be easily mounted and used alone with the meter (5). However, the moving image device portion and the meter portion can be integrated with different types (FIG. 3). .

By pedaling while watching pre-recorded moving image, there is an effect of relieving the tiredness and mental pain of rowing, which is a continuation of simple operation.

Right perspective view of the present invention in which the moving image unit and the meter unit are integrated. One overall right perspective view of the present invention

One embodiment is shown. First, the conventional bicycle ergometer technology must be demonstrated. The user sits on the saddle (8), grasps the handle (6) and puts his foot on the pedal (7). Next, the load adjustment dial (3) is adjusted to set the strength of the load. The dial scale is set to about 1-8, the dial 1 is weak and gradually strong, and the dial 8 is most heavily loaded. The load adjustment dial (3) is connected to the meter (5) by a heat converter (4) and an electric cord A (1), and the heat converter (4) is further connected by an electric cord B (2). The heat converter (4) is fixed by a support of a front leg (9) and a saddle (7). By stroking the pedal, the momentum is converted to a digital value and displayed on the meter (5). The above is the conventional technology. The configuration of the present invention is as follows. Change the landscape when you ride a bicycle on a tree-lined road, a dike road, or a stadium in advance, changing the speed, for example, about 5-40 km / hr, about 7 to 8 speeds for about 15 minutes each The video recorder is attached to the handle of an existing bicycle ergometer. The load adjustment dial (3) is set to the scale 4, for example. The person who exercises rotates the pedal and simultaneously activates the moving image device and strokes the pedal while watching the moving image. When the pedal is rotated, the rotational speed of the pedal is not necessarily linked to the speed of the landscape change of the moving image device. By practicing and using the present invention, it is possible to relieve tiredness and mental distress of rowing during exercise.
