Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to an adjustable exercise device for aerobic stepping exercise and other forms of exercise.
- the Step exercise device available from Escalade Sports of Evansville, Indiana, is a well known aerobic stepping structure that includes a platform and a number of riser blocks for elevating the platform above the floor or other support surface so + hat the top surface of the platform extends parallel to the support surface. Users of The Step repeatedly step on and off the horizontal top surface of the elevated platform to engage in aerobic exercise.
- the elevated platform may also be used in connection with other types of exercise.
- the platform of The Step is adjustable in height by adding or subtracting riser blocks.
- the top faces of the riser blocks of The Step are shaped to be matingly engageable with the bottom of the platform to provide a sturdy, elevated top surface that extends parallel to the ground for stepping exercise or other exercise purposes.
- the top faces of the riser blocks are also alternatively engageable with bottom surfaces of other riser blocks to readily elevate the platform to the desired height. Because they are matingly engageable with each other, the riser blocks also can be readily stacked for storage purposes.
- pairs of riser blocks are positioned underneath the platform, with one of each pair being positioned under each end of the platform.
- two riser blocks are needed for each incremental height adjustment.
- Each riser block may instead span the substantial length of the platform in which case one additional riser block is stacked for each incremental height adjustment. Examples of stepping exercise devices are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,318,489 , 5,158,512 ; D330,057 ; and 5,672,144 , all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- an adjustable aerobic exercise device according to claim 1.
- FIGURES 1-4 illustrate an inclined riser block 10 in accordance with an illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the illustrated inclined riser block 10 includes a square or otherwise rectangular flange 12 and a square or otherwise rectangular protrusion 14 that forms a rectangular aperture 16.
- the flange 12 and protrusion 14 define a top face 22, a bottom face 24 and a central portion 26 of the inclined riser block 10.
- the top face 22 defines in each corner a circular recess 30.
- the top face 22 includes four rectangular dimples 32, one rectangular dimple formed along each side of the flange 12.
- the top face 22, including the flange 12 and the protrusion 14, extends at an incline relative to the bottom face 24 and relative to a floor or other support surface when the bottom face is resting on the support surface.
- the angle of incline may be in the range of about 17 degrees, or may have any other suitable magnitude in accordance with other embodiments.
- the bottom face 24 defines four rectangular slots 34, one along each side of the bottom of the flange 12, and includes a boss 36 in the form of a rubber stop or the like in each corner.
- the central portion 26 interconnects the top and bottom faces 22 and 24. The height or thickness of the central portion 26 increases from the front 38 of the central portion 26 to the rear 40 of the central portion, forming the incline on the top face 22.
- the inclined riser block 10 may be used with any suitable stepping exercise device or other exercise device. As shown in FIGURES 6-8 , for example, the inclined riser block 10 may be combined with one or more components of The Step product shown in FIGURE 5(a)-5(c), which includes a platform 100 and a plurality of riser blocks 102 for elevating the platform 100 to be parallel above a floor or other support surface.
- the illustrated prior art platform 100 includes a flat top surface 104, a bottom 106, and a support wall 108 extending downward along the perimeter of the top surface.
- the support wall 108 includes a pair of opposed side walls 110 and a pair of opposed end walls 112, defining a recess 114 on the bottom 106 of the platform 100 that extends substantially along the length of the platform.
- Each of the prior art riser blocks 102 illustrated in FIGURES 5(a)-(c) includes a square flange 130 and a square protrusion 132 that forms a square aperture 134 and that define top and bottom faces 140 and 142 of the riser blocks.
- the top face 140 defines adjacent each corner a circular recess 144.
- the top face 140 includes four rectangular dimples 146, one rectangular dimple formed along each side of the top of the flange 130.
- the bottom face 142 defines four rectangular slots 148, one along each side of the bottom of the flange 130, and includes a boss (not shown) in the form of a rubber stop or the like in each corner.
- a pair of the inclined riser blocks 10 are matingly engaged with the platform 100 to incline the platform 100 along its width (i.e., the incline extends from one of the opposed side walls 110 of the platform 100 to the other) so that stepping or other exercise can occur on the inclined top surface 104 of the platform 100.
- the inclined riser blocks 10 are matingly engaged with the bottom 106 of the platform 100 adjacent opposite ends of the platform 100.
- each inclined riser block 10 When engaged, the protrusion 14 of each inclined riser block 10 is received by the recess 114 of the platform 100, dimples 32 of the inclined riser block 10 are received by two of the rectangular recesses 120 and one of the rectangular recesses 122 of the platform 100, and bosses 122 of the platform 100 are received by circular recesses 30 of the inclined riser block 10.
- the axis extending from the front 38 to the rear 40 of the central portion 26 of each inclined riser block 10 extends perpendicular to the length of the platform 100.
- the bottoms of the flanges 12 of the inclined riser blocks 10 rest on the floor or other support surface.
- the inclined riser block 10 in accordance with the present disclosure may have any other suitable construction and may include any other suitable engaging structure or otherwise be matingly engageable with other components in any other suitable manner.
- the platform 100 and, if included, the risers 102 may have any other suitable construction and may include any other engaging structure or otherwise be matingly engageable with one or more inclined risers 10 in any other suitable manner.
- the inclined riser block 10 and the platform 100 may be constructed in any suitable manner such that a single individual inclined riser block 10 or more than two inclined riser blocks can be used to elevate and incline the platform 100, and, if included, one or more riser blocks can be constructed in any complementary manner.
- the flat top surface 104 of the platform 100 may include any other suitable construction or configuration thereon or include any suitable structure secured thereto to complement or facilitate any form of exercise.
