Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a system that has been specially designed so that an operator who has to remain in the seated position on account of the nature of his work may exercise his lower extremities in the course of the working day with the resultant beneficial effect that this has on his/her general state of health and without impairing job performance.
  • the invention is primarily applicable in the sphere of office jobs and the like, where an operator has to remain seated during the larger part of the working day, although it may also be used in rehabilitation tasks and in any other circumstances in which similar performance is required, as is the case of collective transport vehicles on long journeys during which passengers are immobilized because of the shortage of space available.
  • the system proposed by the invention provides a fully satisfactory solution to the afore-mentioned problem inasmuch as it permits the lower limbs to be exercised on the job during working hours.
  • the system does not interfere with the normal performance of the job to be done insofar as it is designed for persons who remain seated, i.e. for people whose legs are not involved in the work being done and which may therefore be mobilized, within certain limits, without affecting body stability and, therefore, without affecting the individual work rate.
  • the system consists of a motor-driven base for positioning under the desk, a motor-driven base which moves at least one support surface for the user's feet, which are thus subjected to a mobilization that extends to the whole of the lower extremities.
  • This mobilization may be simultaneous for both feet, i.e. they move together, specifically when they are resting on a single support surface, or their movements may be independent, alternating for instance, when two support surface, one for each foot, play a part in the system.
  • the movement may also be of different types, specifically a longitudinal sliding movement of the feet, a lifting movement, a rocking movement or a mixed movement resulting from the combination of the foregoing.
  • the motor-driven base will conveniently support the bearing surfaces with freedom of movement for these and the driving element of said base will be connected to the support surface or surfaces by conventional type driving means which enable the desired movement to be performed.
  • one of the new possibilities envisaged consists of establishing on the motor-driven base a pair of longitudinally aligned vertical axles on each of which transverse and parallel rocking arms are mounted, which in turn are linked hingedly to the underside of the support surfaces, forming with these a deformable quadrilateral, while linked hingedly to one of these arms there is a connecting rod that links this quadrilateral to the motor-driven wheel eccentric to operate the assembly, thereby achieving an alternating longitudinal movement of the aforesaid support surfaces or, in other words, of the user's feet.
  • Another alternative consists of establishing a lifting and lowering movement for the feet, accompanied by a lateral rocking movement of same, in which case the support surfaces are fixed to a transverse support integral with a longitudinal axle mounted with freedom of movement, by way of a pair of bearings, on the motor-driven base, the aforesaid axle, by way of an eccentric piece, a connecting rod and another eccentric mounted on the driving wheel, an alternating rotational movement which is translated into a lateral rocking movement for the assembly made up of the two support surfaces, which may optionally be embodied in just one.
  • the bearing surface or surfaces may be provided solely with a longitudinal rocking movement, i.e. a raising and lowering movement of the area corresponding to the anterior extremity of the feet, in which case the bearing surface will be provided with a traverse shaft, offset to the rear, mounted with rotational freedom on the motor-driven base and integral with which there is a descending intermediate connecting rod, linked hingedly at its free end to another longitudinal connecting rod linked to the driving wheel eccentric.
  • the supports are composed of a single transverse bar, which is driven back and forth or else rocked, or in other words, is raised and lowered with a rocking movement.
  • the principle of the system is that two separate parallel supports are mounted on the motor-driven base, preferably matching end parts of the base, and between the supports of which a traverse rotational shaft is mounted so that on this rotational shaft two side arms are mounted in turn, provided on the inside with supports, one of which is linked to a connecting rod, which is hinged eccentrically at its other end to a drive wheel, so that the alternating movement of this connecting rod entails the alternating movement of the arm to which the former is associated and thereby the rotation of the shaft between the base supports, at the same time bringing about the movement of the other arm, so that between both arms a bar is mounted which will form the support element for the feet, said bar being supplemented with an encasing tube turning freely on them, so that when rocking back or forth takes place it causes said casing to turn and thereby provides permanent support for the user's feet without varying their position, i.e. moving back and forth in unison with their support on the bar.
  • the arms may carry out an upward and downward rocking movement as these arms are made up of two parts both connected to the transverse rotational shaft mounted between the supports.
  • the bar ad therefore the feet resting on it undergo a back and forth movement with a slight arching in that forward and backward longitudinal movement, while in the latter case the bar undergoes a raising and lowering movement, or in other words, rocking up and down, naturally in a slightly arched movement as in the previous case.
  • the practical embodiment of the system for exercising the lower limbs advocated here consists of a housing or motor-driven base (1), on which are mounted, with the option of longitudinal sliding, a pair of support surfaces (2), suitable in shape and size to take the user's feet, moving longitudinally and in opposing directions in accordance with the arrows referenced with (4), for which purpose and by way of the respective connecting rods (5), linked hingedly at (6) to the mid-point of said support surfaces (2) are connected by respective toothed wheels (/), mounted with rotational freedom by way of their shafts (8) on the actual base or housing (1), toothed wheels (7) to which the connecting rods (5) are linked by way of an eccentric pivot (9), the two toothed wheels (7) corresponding to the two support surfaces (2) being furthermore joined together by means of an intermediate pinion (10), which is what receives the movement of the corresponding motor, not represented in the drawing and which supplies rotational movements to the wheels /7) in the opposite direction in order to achieve alternating
  • FIG 3 another embodiment version is represented in which two support surfaces (2) participate, as in the case of figure 1, although in this case said support bases (2) linked to respective supports (13) which are moved by a pair of transverse drive axles (11) and (12), provided at their wheel ends with eccentric pivots (14) and (15), whereby, in addition to the same longitudinal movement as in the case of figure 1, a vertical movement is achieved between the end situation shown with a continuous and dotted line in the lateral view in this figure 3.
  • the embodiment of figure 4 envisages the existence of a single motor-drive transverse shaft (16) terminated at each end with a wheel provided with respective opposing lugs (17), by way of which movement is transmitted to the support surfaces (2) relatively close to one of their ends, while their other end rests on the actual motor-driven base (1) by way of sliding supports (18), so that an upward/downward rocking movement of one of the ends of each support surface (2) is achieved, while the other end is kept at a constant height level, parallely to a horizontal movement of said support surface.
  • each of the is connected to the housing or base (1) by means of two pairs of connecting rods (31), hinged at their ends (32) both to the support surface (2) and to the housing (1), as may be seen especially in the side view, there being linked to the mid-point of the foregoing connecting rods (31) and also hingedly a drive rod (33), which is linked hingedly to a cross-arm (34), rocking on the housing (1) at its mid point (35) and extended in a short arm (36) by which both connecting rods (33) receive an opposing alternati9ng movement from a drive wheel (37) provided with an eccentric pivot (38) for transmitting movement to a connecting rod (39) linked to said arm (36).
  • the drive system described supplies a rocking movement to the connecting rods (31), equivalent to a longitudinal and horizontal movement of the support surfaces (2), which is combined with a raising and lowering movement, also generated by the actual rocking of said rods (31).
  • a pair of vertical shafts (40-41) are established, aligned longitudinally and centrally, on each of which an arm (42-43) is mounted, these arms (42-43) being parallel and identical and joined hingedly at their free end (44) to respective pivots (45) integral with the under side of the support surfaces (2), forming with the latter a deformable quadrilateral in which the rocking of these arms (42-43) causes a longitudinal movement of the surfaces (2) in the same plane, as may be seen in any of the figures and in accordance with the arrows represented in them.
  • the shaft (51) is terminated at one of its ends with a small radial extension (53) to which is attached hingedly the arm (54) which connects said shaft (51) to the drive wheel (56) eccentric (55), so that the rotational movement of said wheel (56) becomes an angular rocking movement of the shaft (51), which in turn is converted into the aforesaid rocking movement for the support surfaces (2).
  • a single support surface (3) is established on the motor-driven base, although obviously there could be two surfaces, specifically said surface being provided with a transverse eccentric shaft (62), mounted on end supports (63), said shaft (62) with which there is integral a lower radial arm (64), which is attached hingedly at its free end (65) to a longitudinal connecting rod (66), which is attached hingedly at its other end to the drive wheel (68) eccentric (67), so that in this case the rotational movement of said drive wheel (68) is converted into a rocking movement of the arm or extension (64) of the support surface (3) and consequently into a longitudinal rocking movement of the former, between the limit situations shown in the two lateral views of the afore-mentioned figure 10.
  • Figures 13 and 14 show an alternative embodiment so that, instead of being longitudinal to and fro, the movement is rocking up and down, so that in this case the components are the same, with the only exception that the arms are determined by the two sections (83') and (83??) in order to make the sections (83") rock up and down as shown in the side elevational views in figures 13 and 14.
